Installing and Administering PPP

Chapter 1 21

Introduction

Installation

You do not need to manually install the PPP software if:

• the LAN/9000 networking product was pre-installed on your system

(instant ignition).

• you used the HP-UX swinstall program to install the Core

Networking Bundle. The PPP-RUN ﬁleset is part of this software

bundle.

To determine whether PPP-RUN software has been installed on your

system and is included in your kernel, do one of the following:

• Type the command:

ls /var/adm/sw/products/Networking

If PPP-RUN appears in the list of ﬁlesets, then the PPP software is

already installed on your system.

• Type the command:

grep tun /stand/system

If tun appears in the list of ﬁlesets, then the PPP software is already

included in your HP-UX Kernel.

If the PPP software is not already installed or is not included in your

HP-UX Kernel, install it by running the HP-UX swinstall program

with the command:

/usr/sbin/swinstall

Highlight the PPP-RUN ﬁlesets from the Software Selection Window

and choose "Install" from the menu. When you click OK, swinstall will

install the PPP-RUN ﬁleset and regenerate the kernel.

The PPP-RUN ﬁleset includes the following components:

• command program (/usr/bin/pppd)

• startup script (/sbin/init.d/ppp)

• device conﬁguration ﬁle (/etc/ppp/tunconf)

• migration script for pre 10.30 HP SLIP users (/usr/bin/ppl)
