PPP Port Configuration WAN Configuration
30.10 PPP PORT CONFIGURATION
To configure PPP WAN ports, you must first define the type and location of the WAN interface, optionally “set up” a
library of configuration settings, then apply those settings to the desired interface(s). The following examples are
designed to give you a small model of the steps necessary for a typical PPP WAN interface specification.
To define the location and identity of a High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) PPP WAN port located at router slot 5,
port 1 with a speed rating of 45 million bits per second:
When configuring a PPP connection between two multi-vendor equipment, make sure that the maximum transfer unit
(MTU) and the maximum receive unit (MRU) are compatible for each machine. For instance, if Router1 has an
MTU=4k/MRU=4k and Router2 has an MTU=9k/MRU=9k, there will be incompatibility issues and the PPP
connection may fail. This is because Router1 cannot accommodate the bigger amount of traffic from Router2.
To set the MRU=10k and MTU=10k on the HSSI port hs.5.1:
Suppose you wish to set up a service profile called “profile2” that includes the following characteristics:
• Bridging enabled
• Leave high-, low-, and medium-priority queue depths set to factory defaults
• IP and IPX enabled
• Sending of LCP Echo Requests disabled
• Use of LCP magic numbers disabled
• The maximum allowable number of unanswered requests set to 8
• The maximum allowable number of negative-acknowledgment transmissions set to 5
• The maximum allowable number of unanswered/improperly answered connection-termination
requests before declaring the link to a peer lost set to 4
• Random Early Discard disabled
• The number of seconds between subsequent configuration request transmissions (the “retry
interval”) set to 25
• RMON enabled
The command line necessary to set up a service profile with the above attributes would be as follows:
To assign the above service profile to the active PPP WAN port defined earlier (slot 5, port 1):
rs(config)# port set hs.5.1 wan-encapsulation ppp speed 45000000
rs(config)# port set hs.5.1 mtu 10000 mru 10000
rs(config)# ppp define service profile2 bridging enable ip enable ipx
enable lcp-echo off lcp-magic off max-configure 8 max-failure 5
max-terminate 4 red off retry-interval 25 rmon on
rs(config)# ppp apply service profile2 ports hs.5.1
