Patton electronic SmartNode 4110 Series Configuring PPP over a Hdlc Link, Creating a PPP profile

SmartWare Software Configuration Guide 30 • PPP configuration

Example: Configure a PPPoE session

The procedure below configures a PPPoE session for the connection to a DSL provider using the credentials specified in the subscriber profile above.

node(cfg)#port ethernet 0 0 node(prt-eth)[0/0]#encapsulation pppoe node(prt-eth)[0/0]#no shutdown node(prt-eth)[0/0]#pppoe node(pppoe)[0/0]#session green node(session)[green]#bind subscriber joe_example node(session)[green]#no shutdown

Configuring PPP over a HDLC Link

This procedure describes how to configure PPP over a HDLC link. Different kind of physical ports can be configured for HDLC framed data transmission. On some ports the hdlc mode must be explicitly enabled (PRI, BRI), other ports have a HDLC framed nature (Serial). That means, PPP can be configured in different configuration modes. For this reason, the command description below refer always to the configuration mode in which ppp has been enabled by setting the encapsulation to ‘ppp’. This configuration mode is called here ‘hdlc-sub’ but it is only an alias for the real mode.

Mode: hdlc-sub

Step	Command	Purpose
1	node(hdlc-sub)#[no] encapsulation ppp	Enables/Disables PPP
3	node(hdlc-sub)#[no] bind interface name	Binds the HDLC link directly to the IP interface
	[router]	name in case no authentication is required
	or
	node(hdlc-sub)#[no] bind subscriber name	Binds the HDLC link to the PPP subscriber name
		in case authentication is required
	or
	node(hdlc-sub)#[no] bind subscriber	Only the credentials provided at the establish-
	authentication { chap pap { chap pap
	} }	ment of the PPP session select the PPP sub-
		scriber. This allows to bind the HDLC link to the
		set of all PPP subscribers.
4	node(hdlc-sub)#[no] use profile ppp name	Assigns a PPP profile other than the default pro-
(optional)		file.

Creating a PPP profile

A PPP profile allows to adjust additional PPP parameters like the maximum transmit unit (MTU) and maxi- mum receive unit (MRU). Only the most important parameters are listed here.

The profile default is always present and supplies the parameters if no other profile has been created or no pro- file can be used with a certain type of PPP connection. Profiles created by the user can only be used with PPP over Ethernet connections. For all other types of PPP connections the default profile applies.

This procedure describes how to create a PPP profile or to modify the default PPP profile
