Configuring PPP Services
1-2 114068 Rev. A
This menu appears after you select a link or net module connector that
requires a WAN circuit.
b. Click on OK to enable default PPP service.
The Configuration Manager displays the Select Protocols window.
If you are running router (as opposed to BNX) software, selecting PPP
automatically enables protocol prioritization. For detailed information on
protocol prioritization, refer to Configuring Traffic Filters and Protocol
Prioritization.
4. Select the routing protocol that you want to run on this interface.
PPP is the WAN protocol for the interface. You also need to enable an
upper-level routing protocol (such as IP, IPX, or AppleTalk) to run on top of
PPP. Enabling this protocol allows the routing of traffic over this interface.
Refer to the appropriate protocol-specific guides for information on these
protocols.
When you’ve finished these steps, you’ll have a fully operational PPP connection
configured with all default values. For a list of the default values, see Appendix B.
Refer to Configuring Routers or Configuring Customer Access and Trunks (BNX
Software), depending on your platform, for instructions on how to do these tasks.
PPP Tasks
You can configure PPP to perform the following functions:
• Route data over a PPP link
• Perform data compression
• Run PPP over dial-up lines
• Run PPP over multiple lines
• Run PPP over a multilink circuit
• Set up protocol prioritization on a multiline circuit
In addition, you can
• Configure IP to run over PPP interfaces
• Enable and disable network control protocols
• Use PPP with asynchronous modems
