PPP configuration task list 321
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
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
Step Command Purpose
1
node(hdlc-sub)#[no] encapsulation ppp
Enables/Disables PPP
3
node(hdlc-sub)#[no] bind interface name
[router]
or
node(hdlc-sub)#[no] bind subscriber name
or
node(hdlc-sub)#[no] bind subscriber
authentication { chap pap | { chap | pap
} }
Binds the HDLC link directly to the IP interface
name in case no authentication is required
Binds the HDLC link to the PPP subscriber name
in case authentication is required
Only the credentials provided at the establish-
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
(optional)
node(hdlc-sub)#[no] use profile ppp name
Assigns a PPP profile other than the default pro-
file.
