TATUS

ppp i&g_iface

Current status of an interface - With no other parameters, the ppp iface command issued as shown above
displays the current PPP status of the interface iface you specify.

ELECTION

ppp i&g_iface ccp {local | remote} method

[stacker | history num | none | allow [on | off]]

method—Displays or sets the compression method used for outgoing packets on the Router.

stacker—Selects the Stacker™ algorithms to be used to compress outgoing packets.

history num—Compression can be turned on with history, or without history. History 1 turns on
compression; history 0 turns off compression. Compression without history compresses each packet
based upon that packet only. Compression with history compresses packets based upon the packet
itself, and previous types of packets. History allows the box to be more efficient when handling
packets that are identical.

none—Selects no compression to be used on outgoing packets.

2.18.3 LCP N

EGOTIATION

ppp iface lcp {local | remote} accm

[bitmap | allow [on | off]]

Displays or sets the desired Asynchronous Control Character Map (ACCM).

bitmap

Specify the bitmap in octets. The default is 0xffffffff.

ppp iface lcp {local | remote} authentication

[chap | pap | none | allow [on | off]]

Displays or sets the authentication protocol. The default is none. Use local when you want the remote

end to authenticate itself using the specified protocol. Use none when the remote end does not have to
authenticate itself.

Use remote to suggest to the remote end that you authenticate yourself to it using the specified protocol

or by suggesting that you not authenticate yourself at all if none was set. The remote end is free to ignore
your suggestion. The acceptable authentication protocols are CHAP and PAP. The challenge handshake
authentication protocol
verifies the identity of a peer using a three-way handshake when establishing a link.
The password authentication protocol verifies the identity of a peer using a two-way handshake when
establishing a link. Because passwords are sent over the circuit in a text format (unencrypted), PAP is not
as secure as CHAP.

chap

Selects challenge handshake authentication protocol

pap

Selects password authentication protocol

none

No authentication occurs when the point-to-point connection establishes a link.
This is the default setting.
