25 • PPP configuration
Example:
Create a PPP subscriber
The procedure below creates a PPP subscriber for a PAP authentication with some Internet Service Provider.
IPLink(cfg)#subscriber ppp joe_example
IPLink(subscr)[joe_exa~]#dial out
IPLink(subscr)[joe_exa~]#authentication pap
IPLink(subscr)[joe_exa~]#identification outbound [email protected] password
blue4you
IPLink(subscr)[joe_exa~]#bind interface ppp_interface router
Trigger forced reconnect of PPP sessions using a timer
In some situations, it is useful to disconnect and reconnect a PPP session at a clearly defined time. The follow-
ing procedure shows how PPP can be configured to reconnect the connection every time a timer expires.
A common application for this feature: some ISPs disconnect the PPP session after a fixed period of time, for
example, 16 hours. This may cause call interruptions if it happens during the day. The timer allows to discon-
nect and reopen the PPP session at a predefined time, such as 0200 hours.

node(subscr)[name]# [no] authentication {
(chap pap) | {chap|pap} }
Defines the authentication protocol to be used,
PAP and/or CHAP
4
(optional)
node(subscr)[name]# [no] identification
{outbound|inbound} user [password
password
]
Sets the credentials to be provided during the
authentication procedure: the user name
user
and the password
password
.
The keywords ‘inbound’ and ‘outbound’ define
the direction of authentication:
•
‘inbound’: The local peer checks the creden-
tials that the remote peer sends.
•
‘outbound’: The local peer sends its creden-
tials if the remote peer requests them.
The following restrictions apply to the direction of
authentication:
•
- PPP over Ethernet: ‘outbound’ only
•
- PPP over Serial: ‘inbound only’

node(subscr)[name]# [no] bind interface
interface
[router]
Binds the subscriber to the IP interface to be used
for this PPP connection. The IP interface must
already exist and shall have the configuration as
outlined in section
“Creating an IP interface for
PPP”
on page 272.
