Configuring PPP access over the serial port
Use the point-to-point protocol (PPP) access method if you do not have Ethernet
access. You can use PPP through your serial port to enable access to the Remote
Supervisor Adapter through a Telnet session or a Web browser.
Note: If you enable the PPP interface, the Remote Supervisor Adapter cannot use
the serial port for serial remote access.
