pptp ip local pool
pptp ip local pool <pool> <ipaddr> [<end-ipaddr>]
Description
This command configures an IP address pool for VPN users using Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP).
Syntax
Usage Guidelines
If VPN is used as an access method, you specify the pool from which the user’s IP address is assigned when the
user negotiates a PPTP session. Use the show vpdn pptp local command to see the used and free addresses in the
pool.
PPTP is an alternative to IPsec that is supported by various hardware platforms. PPTP is considered to be less
secure than IPsec but also requires less configuration. You configure PPTP with the vpdn command.
Example
The following command configures an IP address pool for PPTP VPN users:
(host) (config) #pptp ip local pool pptp-pool1 172.16.18.1 172.16.18.24
