Configuring PPP negotiation
Introduction to PPP negotiation parameters
PPP negotiation parameters that can be configured include:
Negotiation timeout time
IP address negotiation
DNS server address negotiation
Negotiation timeout time
Negotiation timeout time determines the interval for sending request packets. During PPP negotiation, if
no response is received from the peer during a specific period after the local device sends a packet, the
device sends the packet again. The period is known as negotiation timeout time, which ranges from 1 to
10 seconds.
IP address negotiation
IP address negotiation can be implemented in the following two modes.
The device operating as the client: You can configure the local interface to operate in this mode if
it uses PPP at the data link layer but does not have an IP address, whereas the peer is configured
with an IP address, after which the interface can receive an IP address allocated by its peer. This
configuration applies to the situations where you access the Internet through ISP.
The device operating as the server: In this case, you must configure a local IP address pool in
domain view or system view to specify the range of the IP addresses to be allocated, and then bind
the address pool to the interface.
