name (name; default: pptp-outN) - interface name for reference

mtu (integer; default: 1460) - Maximum Transmission Unit. The optimal value is the MTU of the

interface the tunnel is working over decreased by 40 (so, for 1500-byte ethernet link, set the MTU

to 1460 to avoid fragmentation of packets)

mru (integer; default: 1460) - Maximum Receive Unit. The optimal value is the MRU of the

interface the tunnel is working over decreased by 40 (so, for 1500-byte ethernet link, set the MRU

Example

To set up PPTP client named test2 using unsername john with password john to connect to the

10.1.1.12 PPTP server and use it as the default gateway:

[admin@Wandy] interface pptp-client> add name=test2 connect-to=10.1.1.12 \

\... user=john add-default-route=yes password=john

[admin@Wandy] interface pptp-client> print

Flags: X - disabled, R - running

0 X name="test2" mtu=1460 mru=1460 connect-to=10.1.1.12 user="john"

password="john" profile=default add-default-route=yes

[admin@Wandy] interface pptp-client> enable 0

Monitoring PPTP Client
