The Client Nameserver field controls which nameserver (if any) the client should use for DNS
lookups.
The Proxy ARP option makes the router attempt to proxy ARP the remote IP onto a local Ethernet
subnet. This requires that the Client IP address be set to an IP that would be valid on one of the
Ethernet subnets to which that the router is connected. If this option is selected, other machines on the
Ethernet subnet will be able to communicate with the remote PPP system as though it were connected
directly to the Ethernet subnet.
The Idle timeout field controls how many seconds to wait when there is no traffic on the PPP
connection before hanging up the connection. Setting it to 0 or blank will disable the timeout.
The Username/Password Setting table contains a list of locally defined users that are allowed to
connect to the PPP server, along with their passwords and a Delete button next to each entry to allow
its removal. A row of empty Username and Password fields ending with an Add button allows the
addition of new user entries.
Note
If RADIUS authentication is used to authenticate PPP connection requests, the Username/
Password Setting table will not be displayed, and PPP user accounts must instead be configured
at the RADIUS server. See
Each PPP user entry, whether defined on the router or on a RADIUS server, may optionally have a
list of subnetworks associated with it. When the corresponding user establishes a PPP connection
with the server, the configured static routes are entered into the routing table, making the listed
subnetworks available via the connected PPP client.
The Static Route Setting table is displayed whether PPP is authenticated locally or via RADIUS.
Each row of the table contains a Username, a list of Static Route entries to be entered when that
user establishes a PPP connnection, and a Delete button next to each entry to allow its removal. An
empty row prompting for Username and ending with an Add button allows the addition of new Static
Route entries for that PPP user, via the Edit Routes... menu, described below.
Figure 12.7. Add Routes for PPP User
The Route (x.x.x.x/y) field lists existing static routes for the listed PPP user, with a Delete button
next to each entry to allow its removal. Static routes are added to the list by entering an IPv4 network
address (x.x.x.x) followed by the number of bits in the subnet address (y), and clicking Add.
