SLIP to PPP Migration
Migration Examples
Migration Examples
The sections below discuss how to set up the PPP configuration files from
SLIP configuration files. Three types of SLIP configurations are used as
examples.
Case 1: Dialout SLIP Connection without
UUCP System Name
This type of connection is represented by an entry in
/etc/ppl/ppl.remotes where type=DIALOUT, modem_control=YES
and there is no uucp_system name. The migration task involves
creating an entry in both /etc/ppp/Systems and /etc/ppp/Devices
using information from /etc/ppl/ppl.remotes and
/etc/uucp/Devices.
SLIP Configuration
/etc/ppl/ppl.remotes. The dialout SLIP connection without a UUCP
system name is defined in /etc/ppl/ppl.remotes by:
keywest # remote host name or IP address
ewok # local hostname or IP address
# Internet mask
SLIP # protocol [SLIP] [ASLIPC] [ASLIPS]
[PPP] [CSLIPA] [CSLIP]
DIALOUT # type [DIRECT] [DIALIN]
[DIALOUT] [DIALIN & DIALOUT]
# UUCP system name
NONE # line parity [EVEN] [ODD] [NONE]
9600 # line speed
cul1b1 # serial line
89659 # phone number
YES # modem control available [YES]
[NO]
