Basic PPP Settings
Use Basic PPP Settings to configure the most commonly used settings for incoming and outgoing PPP
connections. You should configure these settings before creating any incoming or outgoing
connections.
You can use Basic PPP Settings to enable or disable the Dynamic IP Address Pool. The Dynamic IP
Address Pool is a set of reserved IP addresses unique to the network that are assigned to the
incoming connections. You can set the first IP address to use and the number of sequential addresses
(plus one) to be reserved for assignment.

Enable Dynamic IP Address Pool for Incoming Connections
: Enables or disables the
Dynamic IP Address Pool used by incoming connections. The Dynamic IP Address Pool is a set of
reserved IP addresses that can be automatically supplied to each incoming PPP connection.
Each connection that is set up to automatically assign an IP address is supplied a different
address from the pool. The set of addresses in the pool must to be unique to the network so
that network conflicts do not occur.
n
First IP Address
: Specifies the first IP address that the address pool should start with. The IP
address pool contains this address and all successive addresses up to the number of IP
addresses specified plus one for the network interface. For example, if the first IP address is
10.0.0.1 and the number of addresses is 4, then the Dynamic IP Address Pool will contain
10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3, 10.0.0.4, and 10.0.0.5.
n
Number of Addresses
: Specifies the number of addresses to use in the pool. Note that you
should verify that none of the addresses from the first IP address up to the number of
addresses plus one is already in use on the network.
