Example
You can add a PPP client using the add command:
[admin@MikroTik] interface ppp-client> add name=test user=test port=serial1 \
\... add-default-route=yes
[admin@MikroTik] interface ppp-client> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 X
name="test" mtu=1500 mru=1500 port=serial1 user="test" password=""
profile=default phone="" tone-dial=yes modem-init="" null-modem=no
dial-on-demand=no add-default-route=yes use-peer-dns=no
[admin@MikroTik] interface ppp-client> enable 0
[admin@MikroTik] interface ppp-client> monitor test
[admin@MikroTik] interface ppp-client> monitor 0
status: "dialing out..."
[admin@MikroTik] interface ppp-client>
PPP Application Example
Client - Server Setup
In this example we will consider the following network setup:
For a typical server setup we need to add one user to the R1 and configure the PPP server.
[admin@MikroTik] ppp secret> add name=test password=test local-address=3.3.3.1 \
\... remote-address=3.3.3.2
[admin@MikroTik] ppp secret> print
Flags: X - disabled
0
name="test" service=any caller-id="" password="test" profile=default
local-address=3.3.3.1 remote-address=3.3.3.2 routes=""
[admin@MikroTik] ppp secret> /int ppp-server
[admin@MikroTik] interface ppp-server> add port=serial1 disabled=no
[admin@MikroTik] interface ppp-server> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0
name="ppp-in1" mtu=1500 mru=1500 port=serial1
authentication=mschap2,mschap1,chap,pap profile=default modem-init=""
ring-count=1 null-modem=no
[admin@MikroTik] interface ppp-server>
Now we need to setup the client to connect to the server:
[admin@MikroTik] interface ppp-client> add port=serial1 user=test password=test \
\... phone=132
[admin@MikroTik] interface ppp-client> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 X
name="ppp-out1" mtu=1500 mru=1500 port=serial1 user="test"
password="test" profile=default phone="132" tone-dial=yes
modem-init="" null-modem=no dial-on-demand=no add-default-route=no
use-peer-dns=no
[admin@MikroTik] interface ppp-client> enable 0
After a short duration of time the routers will be able to ping each other:
[admin@MikroTik] interface ppp-client> /ping 3.3.3.1
3.3.3.1 64 byte ping: ttl=64 time=43 ms
3.3.3.1 64 byte ping: ttl=64 time=11 ms
3.3.3.1 64 byte ping: ttl=64 time=12 ms
3.3.3.1 64 byte ping: ttl=64 time=11 ms
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 11/19.2/43 ms
[admin@MikroTik] interface ppp-client>
