To configure the local end as the server (for cases where PPP authentication is enabled):
Ste

Command
Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter ISP domain view.
domain domain-name N/A
3. Define the domain address
pool.
ip pool pool-number low-ip-address
[ high-ip-address ]
You must define an address pool in
a specified domain at the time of
PPP authentication.
4. Return to system view.
quit N/A
5. Enter interface view.
interface interface-type

N/A
6. Specify the address pool for
IP address allocation.
remote address pool
[ pool-number ]
If you configure the remote address
pool command without providing
the pool-number argument, all the
address pools in the domain are
used in ascending order of pool
number for IP address allocation.
7. Disable the peer end from
using the locally configured IP
address.
ppp ipcp remote-address forced
Optional.
By default, the peer end is allowed
to use the locally configured IP
address. In this case, the local end
does not allocate an IP address to
the peer end if the latter already
has an IP address.
Configuring DNS server address negotiation
PPP address negotiation can also determine the DNS server address. You can configure a device to
allocate the DNS server address to the peer or receive the DNS server address from the peer. Typically,
for a PPP link between a host and a device, the DNS server address is allocated by the device so that the
host can access the Internet directly using domain names. For a PPP link established between a device
and the access server of a carrier, the DNS server address is usually allocated by the access server so
that the device can resolve domain names by using the allocated address.
Configure DNS server settings depending on the role of your device in PPP negotiation.
1. Configuring the local end as the client
To configure settings for DNS server address negotiation when the device is functioning as the
client in PPP negotiation:

3. Enable the local end to
request the peer for a DNS
server address.
ppp ipcp dns request
By default, a device does not
request its peer for a DNS server
address.
