Verifying Installation

Before proceeding further, you must check that the Solaris version of PPP is installed on all machines to be involved in the PPP link. On each endpoint involved in the link, type:

# pkginfo | grep ppp

If PPP is installed, the following package names are displayed:

SUNWpppk       # Contains kernel modules
SUNWapppu      # Contains the link manager and login service
SUNWappp       # Contains configuration files

If PPP is not installed on an endpoint system, install it using either the pkgadd program or admintool software manager.

When using pkgadd to install PPP, you must install the packages in the order listed in the preceding screen box.

Refer to System Administration Guide for more information about pkgadd and admintool software manager.
