This section describes the configuration keywords available for the asppp.cf configuration file and the values you must define for them. Most of these keywords are optional. The required ones are indicated. For further explanations of the keywords, refer to RFCs 1331, 1332, 1333, and 1334.
Table 11-4 lists required keywords that must appear in all asppp.cf configuration files.

Tells the link manager to run the ifconfig command with the values supplied by parameters. See "ifconfig Section of the asppp.cf File", "ifconfig Section for Multipoint Dial-in Server", and the ifconfig(1M) man page for more information. |
|
Specifies the beginning of the token sequences that are grouped together as attributes of this (current) path. The collection of attributes comprising the current path are terminated by the occurrence of a subsequent path keyword, defaults keyword, or by the end-of-file character. |
|
Specifies either an ipdptp (static point-to-point), ipdptp* (dynamic point-to-point), or ipd (multipoint) device for each interface in your network. For ipdptpn and ipdn, this keyword associates the specific interface defined by n with the current path. n must be a non-negative integer. It matches the interface defined in the path section with the interface stated in the ifconfig section.
For the ipdptp* interface, the * indicates that the interface will match any point-to-point interface that is configured as "down." |
|
On dial-out machines, specifies the hostname of the remote endpoint that the local machine wants to call. This is the same as the system name in the /etc/uucp/Systems file. Associates the remote system name with the current path. This name is used to look up modem- and peer-specific information for outbound connections in the /etc/uucp/Systems file. On dial-in machines, this specifies the username that remote machines use when logging in to the dial-in machine. The appropriate path is determined by matching username with the login name that was used to obtain the connection. |
|
Specifies the destination host address. It is required only for multipoint links. This address is associated with the current path. The value is ignored if the path specifies a point-to-point interface. The address format can be dotted decimal, hexadecimal, or symbolic. |
