Job aid: PPP file options (cont’d.)

Option

Description

 

 

no_vjccomp

Disables VJ connection ID

 

compression.

 

 

pap_file <file>

Obtains PAP secrets from the

 

specified file. You require this

 

option if either peer requires PAP

 

authentication. If your users must use

 

the same IP address, the PAP and

 

CHAP secret files must specify the

 

same IP address for all users and it

 

must match the peer-ip setting on the

 

modem port.

 

 

pap_max_authreq <value>

Configures the maximum number of

 

transmissions for PAP authentication

 

requests to the value you specify.

 

 

pap_passwd <password>

Configures the password for PAP

 

authentication with the peer to the

 

specified password.

 

 

pap_restart <value>

Configures the timeout, in seconds,

 

for PAP negotiation to the value you

 

specify.

 

 

pap_user_name <name>

Configures the user name for PAP

 

authentication with the peer to the

 

specified name.

 

 

passive_mode

Configures passive mode. PPP waits

 

for the peer to connect after an initial

 

connection attempt.

 

 

proxy_arp

Adds an entry to the Address

 

Resolution Protocol (ARP) table

 

with the IP address of the peer and the

 

Ethernet address of the local system.

 

 

remote_auth_name <name>

Configures the remote name for

 

authentication to the specified name.

 

 

require_chap

Requires CHAP authentication with

 

peer.

 

 

require_pap

Requires PAP authentication with

 

peer.
