DESCRIPTION
You can use the ppp component to create a ppp profile that you associate with a tunnel using the tunnel component. For more
information about creating a tunnel see net tunnel.
EXAMPLES
create ppp my_ppp
Creates a PPP profile called my_ppp.
list ppp all-properties
Displays all the properties of all the PPP profiles.
OPTIONS
app-service
Specifies the name of the application service to which the object belongs. The default value is none. Note: If the
strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns the object, you cannot modify or delete the
object. Only the application service can modify or delete the object.
defaults-from
Specifies the existing profile from which the system imports settings for the new profile. The default value is ppp.
description
User defined description.
glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression syntax.
lcp-echo-failure
Specifies the number of consecutive PPP LCP echo messages that must go unanswered for the server to drop PPP
connection. For example, if the server sends number of consecutive PPP LCP Echo Request messages that go unanswered
(by Echo Reply), it will close the PPP connection. The default value is 4.
lcp-echo-interval
Specifies the interval, in seconds, between the PPP LCP Echo Request messages that the server sends to the peer
(client). The default value is 30.
name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required for the commands create and modify.
partition
Displays the administrative partition within which this component resides.
regex
Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at sign (@[regular
expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for a description of regular
expression syntax.
vj Specifies whether the system uses Van Jacobson Header Compression (also known as VJ compression, or just Header
Compression), which is an option in most versions of PPP. VJ is a data compression protocol described in RFC 1144,
specifically designed by Van Jacobson to improve TCP/IP performance over slow serial links. The default value is
disabled.
