To configure the device as the server when PPP authentication is not enabled:

Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Assign an IP address
of a global address
pool to the peer or
specify the IP address
to be allocated to the
peer.
• (Method 1) Define a global address pool and
bind it to the interface:
a. ip pool pool-number low-ip-address
[ high-ip-address ]
b. interface interface-type interface-number
c. remote address pool [ pool-number ]
• (Method 2) Specify the IP address to be allocated
to the peer:
a. interface interface-type interface-number
b. remote address ip-address
Use either method.
As for the remote
address pool command,
if the pool-number
argument is not
provided, the global
address pool numbered
0 is used.
To configure the device as the server when PPP authentication is enabled:

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
interface-number
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 from
using the locally
configured IP address.
ppp ipcp remote-address
forced
Optional.
By default, the peer is allowed to use the locally
configured IP address. In this case, the device
does not allocate an IP address to the peer 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. 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.
