How to Verify 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.

Become superuser.

On each endpoint involved in the link, type:

# pkginfo | grep ppp

If 32-bit PPP is installed, the following package names are displayed:

SUNWapppr      PPP/IP Asynchronous PPP daemon configuration files
SUNWapppu      PPP/IP Asynchronous PPP daemon and PPP login service
SUNWpppk       PPP/IP and IPdialup Device Drivers

If 64-bit PPP is installed, the following package names are displayed:

SUNWapppr      PPP/IP Asynchronous PPP daemon configuration files
SUNWapppu      PPP/IP Asynchronous PPP daemon and PPP login service
SUNWpppk       PPP/IP and IPdialup Device Drivers
SUNWpppkx      PPP/IP and IPdialup Device Drivers (64-bit)

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

Note -
When using pkgadd to install PPP, you must install the packages in the order listed.

Refer to System Administration Guide, Volume 1 for more information about pkgadd and admintool software manager.
