PPP Settings

The PPP settings apply when the User Service is set to PPP.

Configure the following parameters:

IPv4 Local IP

The IPV4 IP address of the IOLAN end of the PPP link. For routing to work,

Address

you must enter a local IP address. Choose an address that is part of the same

 

network or subnetwork as the remote end; for example, if the remote end is

 

address 192.101.34.146, your local IP address can be 192.101.34.145. Do not

 

use the IOLAN’s (main) IP address in this field; if you do so, routing will not

 

take place correctly.

IPv4 Remote IP

The IPV4 IP address of the remote end of the PPP link. Choose an address that

Address

is part of the same network or subnetwork as the IOLAN. If you set the PPP

 

parameter IP Address Negotiation to On, the IOLAN will ignore the remote IP

 

address value you enter here and will allow the remote end to specify its IP

 

address. If your user is authenticated by RADIUS and the RADIUS parameter

 

Framed-Addressis set in the RADIUS file, the IOLAN will use the value in

 

the RADIUS file in preference to the value configured here. The exception to

 

this rule is a Framed-Addressvalue in the RADIUS file of 255.255.255.254;

 

this value allows the IOLAN to use the remote IP address value configured

 

here.

IPv4 Subnet Mask

The network subnet mask. For example, 255.255.0.0. If your user is

 

authenticated by RADIUS and the RADIUS parameter Framed-Netmaskis set

 

in the RADIUS file, the IOLAN will use the value in the RADIUS file in

 

preference to the value configured here.

IPv6 Local

The local IPv6 interface identifier of the IOLAN end of the PPP link. For

Interface Identifier

routing to work, you must enter a local IP address. Choose an address that is

 

part of the same network or subnetwork as the remote end. Do not use the

 

IOLAN’s (main) IP address in this field; if you do so, routing will not take

 

place correctly.

 

Field Format: The first 64 bits of the Interface Identifier must be zero,

 

therefore, ::abcd:abcd:abcd:abcd is the expected format.
