Configuring PPP negotiation
PPP negotiation parameters that can be configured are as follows:
• Negotiation timeout time
• IP address negotiation
• DNS address negotiation
Configuring the PPP negotiation timeout time
Negotiation timeout time determines the interval for sending request packets. During PPP negotiation, if
no responses are received from the peer during a specific period after the local device sends a packet,
the device sends the packet again. The period is known as negotiation timeout time, which is in the range
of 1 to 10 seconds.
To configure the PPP negotiation timeout time:

Configuring IP address negotiation
IP address negotiation can be implemented in the following two modes:
• The firewall operating as the client—This mode applies when a local interface uses PPP as its link
layer protocol but does not have an IP address, whereas the peer is configured with an IP address
and with an address pool. In this mode, the interface accepts an IP address allocated by its peer.
This mode is used for situations where the firewall accesses the Internet through an ISP.
• The firewall operating as the server—In this mode, you must configure a local IP address pool in
domain view or system view to specify the range of the IP addresses to be allocated, and then bind
the address pool to the interface in interface view.
