undo remote address
View
Interface view
Parameter
ip-address: IP address.
pool-number: Global address pool number in the range 0 to 99. It defaults to 0. One
address picked from the specified address pool is to be assigned to the peer interface.
Description
Use the remote address command to configure to assign IP address for the peer
interface.
Use the undo remote address command to disable to assign IP address for the peer
interface.
By default, the interface does not assign address for the peer interface.
When an interface is encapsulated with PPP, but not configured with authentication and
IP address, perform the following task to configure the negotiable attribute of IP
address for this interface (configuring the ip address ppp-negotiate command on
local router), and configure the remote address command on the peer router, so that
the local interface can accept the IP address originated from PPP negotiation. This IP
address is assigned by the opposite end. This configuration is mainly used to obtain IP
address assigned by ISP when accessing Internet via ISP.
Caution:
This command does not forbid the peer to configure IP address itself. To forbid the peer
to configure IP address itself, you must configure the ppp ipcp remote-address
forced command.
Use this command only when PPP authentication is not configured, and be sure to
specify a global address pool.
