Configuring PPP Interfaces
There are two settings to consider when configuring PPP interfaces: the IP address and the maximum
transmission unit (MTU). There are no default IP addresses, so each interface must be manually
programmed with the appropriate address (ip address). All SROS router PPP interfaces have a default
MTU of 1500 bytes, which works for most applications.
The following commands specify the configuration parameters required for a standard PPP interface:
ProCurve>enable
ProCurve#config terminal
ProCurve(config)#interface ppp 1
ProCurve(config-ppp 1)#ip address 172.22.15.2 /30
ProCurve(config-ppp 1)#no shutdown
ProCurve(config-ppp 1)#exit
L2 protocol interfaces are created in the Web GUI on the configuration page for the physical interface to
which they are bound. For example, to create the PPP interface to bind to a T1 interface, activate the T1
interface configuration page and specify PPP in the Encapsulation section:
