IP addressing

${defaultRoute}

${proxyARP}${proxyARPTip}

Local IPv4 address (leave empty to let remote peer provide): ${ip4Local}

Remote IPv4 address (leave empty to let remote peer provide): ${ip4Remote}

PPP provides default route (the remote peer acts as our network router) Proxy ARP requests for remote peer If enabled, this machine will listen for ARP requests for the remote peer's IP address and will respond. It will then forward any packets for the remote peer, effectively allowing the remote peer to appear as another machine on this machine's local network. Link control

${passive}${passiveTip}

${debug}

To detect whether the link has failed and needs restarting, it is possible to use LCP (link control protocol) echoes. An echo request is sent periodically, and if the configured number of responses are missed, the link is declared down and PPP will begin trying to reconnect.

Echo request interval: ${lcpEchoInterval}

Number of failures before link is down: ${lcpEchoFailure}

Wait for connections In this mode, PPP will passively wait for incoming connections rather than actively trying to establish one. This mode is suitable for a server with lots of PPP ports where only some are in use. If this option is off, an unused port will generate lots of error messages in the system log. Write debug messages to system log Bad timeout values. Enter 0 (or leave empty) for both values to disable, or set both values to ≥ 1. Other options

${requireAuth}${requireAuthTip}

User options (look up pppd(8) for all the valid options that can go here): ${userOptions}

Require remote peer to authenticate itself If enabled, you will need to edit either /etc/ppp/pap-secrets.local or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets.local to list the allowed usernames and passwords. Invalid or malformed characters in string. Reset to default settings Reset to default settings Cancel Reset

Select the option which most closely matches the type of service this PPP connection will provide. All options may be changed in the configuration, so the type selection is only for convenience.
