HP VPN Firewall Appliances Network Management Command Reference

make the IP address assigned by the local device mandatory, you must configure the ppp ipcp
remote-address forced command.
After you use the remote address command to assign an IP address for the peer device, you cannot
configure the remote address/undo remote address command for the peer again unless the peer
releases the assigned IP address. Shut down the port to release the assigned IP address before you
configure the remote address/undo remote address command for the peer. However, after you use the
command to assign an IP address to the peer from the address pool of the specified domain through
AAA authentication, you can configure the command for the peer again. In this case, the original
assigned IP address can still work, and the newly assigned IP address is used when the original one is
released or used by a new PPP access.
This command does not take effect until the next IPCP negotiation. To make the remote address command
take effect, configure the remote address command before the ip address command.
Examples
# Specify the IP address to be assigned to the peer device through interface Virtual-Template 1 as
10.0.0.1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface Virtual-Template 1
[Sysname-Virtual-Template1] remote address 10.0.0.1

2: System level
Parameters
seconds: Interval (in seconds) for sending keepalive packets, in the range of 0 to 32767. A value of 0
disables keepalive packet sending.
Usage guidelines
Because a slow link takes a long period of time to transmit large packets, the sending and receiving of
keepalives might be delayed so long that one end cannot receive keepalive packets from the peer for a
specific number of keepalive periods and shuts down the link. To prevent this, set the interval for sending
keepalive packets to a relatively longer length of time.
