.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl auto | background | ddial | direct | dedicated
|
|
.Op Fl alias
|
|
.Op Ar system
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This is a user process
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
software package. Normally,
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
is implemented as a part of the kernel (e.g. as managed by pppd) and it's
|
|
thus somewhat hard to debug and/or modify its behavior. However, in this
|
|
implementation
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
is done as a user process with the help of the
|
|
tunnel device driver (tun).
|
|
|
|
.Sh Major Features
|
|
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It Provides interactive user interface.
|
|
Using its command mode, the user can
|
|
easily enter commands to establish the connection with the remote end, check
|
|
the status of connection and close the connection. All functions can
|
|
also be optionally password protected for security.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports both manual and automatic dialing.
|
|
Interactive mode has a
|
|
.Dq term
|
|
command which enables you to talk to your modem directly. When your
|
|
modem is connected to the remote peer and it starts to talk
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
, the
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
software detects it and switches to packet
|
|
mode automatically. Once you have determined the proper sequence for connecting
|
|
with the remote host, you can write a chat script to define the necessary
|
|
dialing and login procedure for later convenience.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports on-demand dialup capability.
|
|
By using auto mode,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will act as a daemon and wait for a packet to be sent over the
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
link. When this happens, the daemon automatically dials and establishes the
|
|
connection.
|
|
|
|
In almost the same manner ddial mode (dedicated or daemon dialing)
|
|
also automatically dials and establishes the connection. However, it
|
|
differs in that it will dial the remote site any time it detects the
|
|
link is down, even if there are no packets to be sent. This mode is
|
|
useful for full-time connections who worry less about line charges
|
|
and more about being connected full time.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports packet aliasing.
|
|
Packet aliasing, more commonly known as masquerading, allows computers
|
|
on a private, unregistered network to access the internet. The
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
host acts as a masquerading gateway. IP addresses as well as TCP and
|
|
UDP port numbers are aliased for outgoing packets and de-aliased for
|
|
returning packets.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports background PPP connections.
|
|
In background mode, if
|
|
.Nm
|
|
successfully establishes the connection, it will become a daemon.
|
|
Otherwise, it will exit with an error.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports server-side PPP connections.
|
|
In direct mode,
|
|
.nm
|
|
acts as server which accepts incoming
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
connections on stdin/stdout.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports PAP and CHAP authentication.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports Proxy Arp.
|
|
When
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
is set up as server, you can also configure it to do proxy arp for your
|
|
connection.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports packet filtering.
|
|
User can define four kinds of filters:
|
|
.Em ifilter
|
|
for incoming packets,
|
|
.Em ofilter
|
|
for outgoing packets,
|
|
.Em dfilter
|
|
to define a dialing trigger packet and
|
|
.Em afilter
|
|
for keeping a connection alive with the trigger packet.
|
|
|
|
.It Tunnel driver supports bpf.
|
|
The user can use
|
|
.Xr tcpdump 1
|
|
to check the packet flow over the
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
link.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports PPP over TCP capability.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.It Supports IETF draft Predictor-1 compression.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
supports not only VJ-compression but also Predictor-1 compression.
|
|
Normally, a modem has built-in compression (e.g. v42.bis) and the system
|
|
may receive higher data rates from it as a result of such compression.
|
|
While this is generally a good thing in most other situations, this
|
|
higher speed data imposes a penalty on the system by increasing the
|
|
number of serial interrupts the system has to process in talking to the
|
|
modem and also increases latency. Unlike VJ-compression, Predictor-1
|
|
compression pre-compresses
|
|
.Em all
|
|
data flowing through the link, thus reducing overhead to a minimum.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports Microsofts IPCP extentions.
|
|
Name Server Addresses and NetBIOS Name Server Addresses can be negotiated
|
|
with clients using the Microsoft
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
stack (ie. Win95, WinNT)
|
|
|
|
.Sh GETTING STARTED
|
|
|
|
When you first run
|
|
.Nm
|
|
you may need to deal with some initial configuration details. First,
|
|
your kernel should include a tunnel device (the default in FreeBSD 2.0.5
|
|
and later). If it doesn't, or if you require more than one tun interface,
|
|
you'll need to rebuild your kernel with the following line in your kernel
|
|
configuration file:
|
|
|
|
.Dl pseudo-device tun N
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar N
|
|
is the maximum number of
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
connections you wish to support.
|
|
|
|
Second, check your
|
|
.Pa /dev
|
|
directory for the tunnel device entries
|
|
.Pa /dev/tunN ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar N
|
|
represents the number of the tun device, starting at zero.
|
|
If they don't exist, you can create them by running "sh ./MAKEDEV tunN".
|
|
This will create tun devices 0 through
|
|
.Ar N .
|
|
|
|
Last of all, create a log file.
|
|
.Nm Ppp
|
|
uses
|
|
.Xr syslog 3
|
|
to log information. A common log file name is
|
|
.Pa /var/log/ppp.log .
|
|
To make output go to this file, put the following lines in the
|
|
.Pa /etc/syslog.conf
|
|
file:
|
|
|
|
.Dl !ppp
|
|
.Dl *.* /var/log/ppp.log
|
|
|
|
It is possible to have more than one ppp log file by creating a link
|
|
to the ppp executable:
|
|
|
|
.Dl # cd /usr/sbin
|
|
.Dl # ln ppp ppp0
|
|
|
|
and using
|
|
|
|
.Dl !ppp0
|
|
.Dl *.* /var/log/ppp0.log
|
|
|
|
in
|
|
.Pa /etc/syslog.conf .
|
|
Don't forget to send a
|
|
.Dv HUP
|
|
signal to
|
|
.Nm syslogd
|
|
after altering
|
|
.Pa /etc/syslog.conf .
|
|
|
|
.Sh MANUAL DIALING
|
|
|
|
In the following examples, we assume that your machine name is
|
|
.Nm awfulhak .
|
|
|
|
If you set your hostname and password in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret ,
|
|
you can't do anything except run the help, passwd and quit commands.
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ppp on "your hostname"> help
|
|
help : Display this message
|
|
passwd : Password for security
|
|
quit : Quit the PPP program
|
|
ppp on awfulhak> pass <password>
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
The "on" part of your prompt will change to "ON" if you specify the
|
|
correct password.
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak>
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
You can now specify the device name, speed and parity for your modem,
|
|
and whether CTS/RTS signalling should be used (CTS/RTS is used by
|
|
default). If your hardware does not provide CTS/RTS lines (as
|
|
may happen when you are connected directly to certain ppp-capable
|
|
terminal servers),
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will never send any output through the port; it waits for a signal
|
|
which never comes. Thus, if you have a direct line and can't seem
|
|
to make a connection, try turning ctsrts off:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> set line /dev/cuaa0
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> set speed 38400
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> set parity even
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> set ctsrts on
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> show modem
|
|
|
|
* Modem related information is shown here *
|
|
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak>
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
The term command can now be used to talk directly with your modem:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> term
|
|
at
|
|
OK
|
|
atdt123456
|
|
CONNECT
|
|
login: ppp
|
|
Password:
|
|
Protocol: ppp
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
When the peer starts to talk in PPP,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
detects this automatically and returns to command mode.
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak>
|
|
PPP ON awfulhak>
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
You are now connected! Note that
|
|
.Sq PPP
|
|
in the prompt has changed to capital letters to indicate that you have
|
|
a peer connection. The show command can be used to see how things are
|
|
going:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
PPP ON awfulhak> show lcp
|
|
|
|
* LCP related information is shown here *
|
|
|
|
PPP ON awfulhak> show ipcp
|
|
|
|
* IPCP related information is shown here *
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
At this point, your machine has a host route to the peer. This means
|
|
that you can only make a connection with the host on the other side
|
|
of the link. If you want to add a default route entry (telling your
|
|
machine to send all packets without another routing entry to the other
|
|
side of the ppp link), enter the following command:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
PPP ON awfulhak> add 0 0 HISADDR
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
The string
|
|
.Sq HISADDR
|
|
represents the IP address of the connected peer. This variable is only
|
|
available once a connection has been established. A common error
|
|
is to specify the above command in your
|
|
.Pa ppp.conf
|
|
file. This won't work as the remote IP address hasn't been
|
|
established when this file is read.
|
|
|
|
You can now use your network applications (ping, telnet, ftp etc.)
|
|
in other windows on your machine.
|
|
|
|
Refer to the PPP COMMAND LIST section for details on all available commands.
|
|
|
|
.Sh AUTOMATIC DIALING
|
|
|
|
To use automatic dialing, you must prepare some Dial and Login chat scripts.
|
|
See the example definitions in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample
|
|
(the format of ppp.conf is pretty simple).
|
|
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
Each line contains one command, label or comment.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
A line starting with a
|
|
.Sq #
|
|
character is treated as a comment line.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
A label name starts in the first column and is followed by
|
|
a colon (:).
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
A command line must contain a space or tab in the first column.
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa ppp.conf
|
|
file should consist of at least a
|
|
.Dq default
|
|
section. This section is always executed. It should also contain
|
|
one or more sections, named according to their purpose, for example,
|
|
.Dq MyISP
|
|
would represent your ISP, and
|
|
.Dq ppp-in
|
|
would represent an incoming
|
|
.Nm
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
You can now specify the destination label name when you invoke
|
|
.Nm ppp .
|
|
Commands associated with the
|
|
.Dq default
|
|
label are executed, followed by those associated with the destination
|
|
label provided. When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is started with no arguments, the
|
|
.Dq default
|
|
section is still executed. The load command can be used to manually
|
|
load a section from the
|
|
.Pa ppp.conf
|
|
file:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
PPP ON awfulhak> load MyISP
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
Once the connection is made, the ppp portion of the prompt will change
|
|
to PPP:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
# ppp MyISP
|
|
...
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> dial
|
|
dial OK!
|
|
login OK!
|
|
PPP ON awfulhak>
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
If the
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
|
|
file is available, its contents are executed
|
|
when the
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
connection is established. See the provided
|
|
.Dq pmdemand
|
|
example in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample
|
|
which adds a default route. The string HISADDR is available as the IP
|
|
address of the remote peer. Similarly, when a connection is closed, the
|
|
contents of the
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.linkdown
|
|
file are executed.
|
|
|
|
.Sh BACKGROUND DIALING
|
|
|
|
If you want to establish a connection using
|
|
.Nm
|
|
non-interactively (such as from a
|
|
.Xr crontab(5)
|
|
entry or an
|
|
.Xr at(1)
|
|
job) you should use the
|
|
.Fl background
|
|
option. You must also specify the destination label in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
|
|
to use. This label must contain the
|
|
.Dq set ifaddr
|
|
command to define the remote peer's IP address. (refer to
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample )
|
|
|
|
When
|
|
.Fl background
|
|
is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
attempts to establish the connection immediately. If multiple phone
|
|
numbers are specified, each phone number will be tried once. If the
|
|
attempt fails,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
exits immediately with a non-zero exit code.
|
|
|
|
If it succeeds, then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
becomes a daemon, and returns an exit status of zero to its caller.
|
|
The daemon exits automatically if the connection is dropped by the
|
|
remote system, or it receives a
|
|
.Dv TERM
|
|
signal.
|
|
|
|
.Sh DIAL ON DEMAND
|
|
|
|
Demand dialing is enabled with the
|
|
.Fl auto
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl ddial
|
|
options. You must also specify the destination label in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
|
|
to use. It must contain the
|
|
.Dq set ifaddr
|
|
command to define the remote peer's IP address. (refer to
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample )
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent

# ppp -auto pmdemand

.Ed
|
|
|

When
|
|
.Fl auto
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl ddial
|
|
is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
runs as a daemon but you can still configure or examine its
|
|
configuration by using the diagnostic port as follows (this
|
|
can be done in
|
|
.Fl background
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl direct
|
|
mode too):
|
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
# telnet localhost 3000
|
|
Trying 127.0.0.1...
|
|
Connected to awfulhak.
|
|
Escape character is '^]'.
|
|
....
|
|
PPP on awfulhak> pass xxxx
|
|
PPP ON awfulhak> show ipcp
|
|
IPCP [OPEND]
|
|
his side: xxxx
|
|
....
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon has an associated port number which is computed as "3000 +
|
|
tunnel_device_number".
|
|
|
|
In
|
|
.Fl auto
|
|
mode, when an outgoing packet is detected,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will perform the dialing action (chat script) and try to connect
|
|
with the peer. In
|
|
.Fl ddial
|
|
mode, the dialing action is performed any time the line is found
|
|
to be down.
|
|
|
|
If the connect fails, the default behavior is to wait 30 seconds
|
|
and then attempt to connect when another outgoing packet is detected.
|
|
This behavior can be changed with
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set redial seconds|random[.nseconds|random] [dial_attempts]
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sq Seconds
|
|
is the number of seconds to wait before attempting
|
|
to connect again. If the argument is
|
|
.Sq random ,
|
|
the delay period is a random value between 0 and 30 seconds.
|
|
.Sq Nseconds
|
|
is the number of seconds to wait before attempting
|
|
to dial the next number in a list of numbers (see the
|
|
.Dq set phone
|
|
command). The default is 3 seconds. Again, if the argument is
|
|
.Sq random ,
|
|
the delay period is a random value between 0 and 30 seconds.
|
|
.Sq dial_attempts
|
|
is the number of times to try to connect for each outgoing packet
|
|
that is received. The previous value is unchanged if this parameter
|
|
is omitted. If a value of zero is specified for
|
|
.Sq dial_attempts ,
|
|
.Nm ppp
|
|
will keep trying until a connection is made.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set redial 10.3 4
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
will attempt to connect 4 times for each outgoing packet that is
|
|
detected with a 3 second delay between each number and a 10 second
|
|
delay after all numbers have been tried. If multiple phone numbers
|
|
are specified, the total number of attempts is still 4 (it does not
|
|
attempt each number 4 times).
|
|
|
|
Modifying the dial delay is very useful when running
|
|
.Nm
|
|
in demand
|
|
dial mode on both ends of the link. If each end has the same timeout,
|
|
both ends wind up calling each other at the same time if the link
|
|
drops and both ends have packets queued.
|
|
|
|
At some locations, the serial link may not be reliable, and carrier
|
|
may be lost at inappropriate times. It is possible to have
|
|
.Nm
|
|
redial should carrier be unexpectedly lost during a session.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set reconnect timeout ntries
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
This command tells ppp to re-establish the connection
|
|
.Ar ntries
|
|
times on loss of carrier with a pause of
|
|
.Ar timeout
|
|
seconds before each try. For example,
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set reconnect 3 5
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
tells
|
|
.Nm
|
|
that on an unexpected loss of carrier, it should wait
|
|
.Ar 3
|
|
seconds before attempting to reconnect. This may happen up to
|
|
.Ar 5
|
|
times before
|
|
.Nm
|
|
gives up. The default value of ntries is zero (no reconnect). Care
|
|
should be taken with this option. If the local timeout is slightly
|
|
longer than the remote timeout, the reconnect feature will always be
|
|
triggered (up to the given number of times) after the remote side
|
|
times out and hangs up.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: In this context, losing too many LQRs constitutes a loss of
|
|
carrier and will trigger a reconnect.
|
|
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl background
|
|
flag is specified, all phone numbers are dialed at most once until
|
|
a connection is made. The next number redial period specified with
|
|
the
|
|
.Dq set redial
|
|
command is honoured, as is the reconnect tries value. If your redial
|
|
value is less than the number of phone numbers specified, not all
|
|
the specified numbers will be tried.
|
|
|
|
To terminate the program, type
|
|
|
|
PPP ON awfulhak> close
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> quit all
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A simple
|
|
.Dq quit
|
|
command will terminate the telnet connection but not the program itself.
|
|
You must use
|
|
.Dq quit all
|
|
to terminate the program as well.
|
|
|
|
.Sh RECEIVING INCOMING PPP CONNECTIONS (Method 1)
|
|
|
|
To handle an incoming
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
connection request, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It

.Sh RECEIVING INCOMING PPP CONNECTIONS (Method 2)
|
|
|
|
This method differs in that it recommends the use of
|
|
.Em mgetty+sendfax
|
|
to handle the modem connections. The latest version 0.99
|
|
can be compiled with the
|
|
.Dq AUTO_PPP
|
|
option to allow detection of clients speaking PPP to the login
|
|
prompt.

|
Follow these steps:

.Dl /AutoPPP/ - - /etc/ppp/ppp-pap-dialup

.El
|
|
|

.Sh PPP OVER TCP (a.k.a Tunneling)
|
|
|
|
Instead of running ppp over a serial link, it is possible to
|
|
use a tcp connection instead by specifying a host and port as the
|
|
device:
|
|
|
|
.Dl set device ui-gate:6669
|
|
|
|
Instead of opening a serial device,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will open a tcp connection to the given machine on the given
|
|
socket. It should be noted however that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
doesn't use the telnet protocol and will be unable to negotiate
|
|
with a telnet server. You should set up a port for receiving
|
|
this ppp connection on the receiving machine (ui-gate). This is
|
|
done by first updating
|
|
.Pa /etc/services
|
|
to name the service:
|
|
|
|
.Dl ppp-in 6669/tcp # Incoming ppp connections over tcp
|
|
|
|
and updating
|
|
.Pa /etc/inetd.conf
|
|
to tell inetd how to deal with incoming connections on that port:
|
|
|
|
.Dl ppp-in stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/ppp ppp -direct ppp-in
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to send a
|
|
.Dv HUP
|
|
signal to
|
|
.Nm inetd
|
|
after you've updated
|
|
.Pa /etc/inetd.conf .
|
|
|
|
Here, we use a label named
|
|
.Dq ppp-in .
|
|
The entry in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
|
|
on ui-gate (the receiver) should contain the following:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ppp-in:
|
|
set timeout 0
|
|
set ifaddr 10.0.4.1 10.0.4.2
|
|
add 10.0.4.1 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1
|
|
add 10.0.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.4.1
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
You may also want to enable PAP or CHAP for security. The entry in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
|
|
on awfulhak (the initiator) should contain the following:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ui-gate:
|
|
set escape 0xff
|
|
set device ui-gate:ppp-in
|
|
set dial
|
|
set timeout 30 5 4
|
|
set log Phase Chat Connect Carrier hdlc LCP tun
|
|
set ifaddr 10.0.4.2 10.0.4.1
|
|
add 10.0.4.2 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1
|
|
add 10.0.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.4.2
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
We're assigning the address of 10.0.4.1 to ui-gate, and the address
|
|
10.0.4.2 to awfulhak.
|
|
|
|
To open the connection, just type
|
|
|
|
.Dl awfulhak # ppp -background ui-gate
|
|
|
|
The result will be an additional "route" on awfulhak to the
|
|
10.0.2.0/24 network via the tcp connection, and an additional
|
|
"route" on ui-gate to the 10.0.1.0/24 network.
|
|
|
|
The networks are effectively bridged - the underlying tcp
|
|
connection may be across a public network (such as the
|
|
Internet), and the ppp traffic is conceptually encapsulated
|
|
(although not packet by packet) inside the tcp stream between
|
|
the two gateways.
|
|
|
|
The major disadvantage of this mechanism is that there are two
|
|
"guaranteed delivery" mechanisms in place - the underlying tcp
|
|
stream and whatever protocol is used over the ppp link - probably
|
|
tcp again. If packets are lost, both levels will get in eachothers
|
|
way trying to negotiate sending of the missing packet.
|
|
|
|
.Sh PACKET ALIASING
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl alias
|
|
command line option enables packet aliasing. This allows the
|
|
ppp host to act as a masquerading gateway for other computers over
|
|
a local area network. Outgoing IP packets are aliased so that
|
|
they appear to come from the ppp host, and incoming packets are
|
|
de-aliased so that they are routed to the correct machine on the
|
|
local area network.
|
|
|
|
Packet aliasing allows computers on private, unregistered
|
|
subnets to have internet access, although they are invisible
|
|
from the outside world.
|
|
|
|
In general, correct ppp operation should first be verified
|
|
with packet aliasing disabled. Then, the
|
|
.Fl alias
|
|
option should be switched on, and network applications (web browser,
|
|
telnet, ftp, ping, traceroute) should be checked on the ppp host.
|
|
Finally, the same or similar applications should be checked on other
|
|
computers in the LAN.
|
|
|
|
If network applications work correctly on the ppp host, but not on
|
|
other machines in the LAN, then the masquerading software is working
|
|
properly, but the host is either not forwarding or possibly receiving
|
|
IP packets. Check that IP forwarding is enabled in
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
|
|
and that other machines have designated the ppp host as the gateway
|
|
for the LAN.
|
|
|
|
.Sh PACKET FILTERING
|
|
|
|
This implementation supports packet filtering. There are four kinds of
|
|
filters; ifilter, ofilter, dfilter and afilter. Here are the basics:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
A filter definition has the following syntax:
|
|
|
|
set filter-name rule-no action [src_addr/src_width] [dst_addr/dst_width]
|
|
[proto [src [lt|eq|gt] port ]] [dst [lt|eq|gt] port] [estab]
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
.Sq filter-name
|
|
should be one of ifilter, ofilter, dfilter or afilter.
|
|
.It
|
|
There are two actions:
|
|
.Sq permit
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq deny .
|
|
If a given packet
|
|
matches the rule, the associated action is taken immediately.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Sq src_width
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq dst_width
|
|
work like a netmask to represent an address range.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Sq proto
|
|
must be one of icmp, udp or tcp.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Sq port number
|
|
can be specified by number and service name from
|
|
.Pa /etc/services .
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
Each filter can hold up to 20 rules, starting from rule 0.
|
|
The entire rule set is not effective until rule 0 is defined,
|
|
ie. the default is to allow everything through.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
If no rule is matched to a packet, that packet will be discarded
|
|
(blocked).
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
Use
|
|
.Dq set filter-name -1
|
|
to flush all rules.
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
See
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.filter.example .
|
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh SETTING IDLE, LINE QUALITY REQUEST, RETRY TIMER
|
|
|
|
To check/set idletimer, use the
|
|
.Dq show timeout
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq set timeout [lqrtimer [retrytimer]]
|
|
commands:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> set timeout 600
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
The timeout period is measured in seconds, the default values for which
|
|
are timeout = 180 or 3 min, lqrtimer = 30sec and retrytimer = 3sec.
|
|
To disable the idle timer function, use the command
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> set timeout 0
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
In
|
|
.Fl auto
|
|
mode, an idle timeout causes the
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
session to be
|
|
closed, though the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program itself remains running. Another trigger packet will cause it to
|
|
attempt to reestablish the link.
|
|
|
|
.Sh PREDICTOR-1 COMPRESSION
|
|
|
|
This version supports CCP and Predictor type 1 compression based on
|
|
the current IETF-draft specs. As a default behavior,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will attempt to use (or be willing to accept) this capability when the
|
|
peer agrees (or requests it).
|
|
|
|
To disable CCP/predictor functionality completely, use the
|
|
.Dq disable pred1
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq deny pred1
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
.Sh CONTROLLING IP ADDRESS
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
uses IPCP to negotiate IP addresses. Each side of the connection
|
|
specifies the IP address that it's willing to use, and if the requested
|
|
IP address is acceptable then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
returns ACK to the requester. Otherwise,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
returns NAK to suggest that the peer use a different IP address. When
|
|
both sides of the connection agree to accept the received request (and
|
|
send ACK), IPCP is set to the open state and a network level connection
|
|
is established.
|
|
|
|
To control this IPCP behavior, this implementation has the
|
|
.Dq set ifaddr
|
|
command for defining the local and remote IP address:
|
|
|
|
.Nm set ifaddr
|
|
.Op src_addr Op dst_addr Op netmask
|
|
|
|
Where,
|
|
.Sq src_addr
|
|
is the IP address that the local side is willing to use and
|
|
.Sq dst_addr
|
|
is the IP address which the remote side should use.
|
|
.Sq netmask
|
|
is interface netmask.
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set ifaddr 192.244.177.38 192.244.177.2 255.255.255.0
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
The above specification means:
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
I strongly want to use 192.244.177.38 as my IP address, and I'll
|
|
disagree if the peer suggests that I use another address.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
I strongly insist that peer use 192.244.177.2 as own side address and
|
|
don't permit it to use any IP address but 192.244.177.2. When peer
|
|
request another IP address, I always suggest that it use 192.244.177.2.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
My interface netmask will be 255.255.255.0.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
This is all fine when each side has a pre-determined IP address, however
|
|
it is often the case that one side is acting as a server which controls
|
|
all IP addresses and the other side should obey the direction from it.
|
|
|
|
In order to allow more flexible behavior, `ifaddr' variable allows the
|
|
user to specify IP address more loosely:
|
|
|
|
.Dl set ifaddr 192.244.177.38/24 192.244.177.2/20
|
|
|
|
A number followed by a slash (/) represent the number of bits significant in
|
|
the IP address. The above example signifies that:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
I'd like to use 192.244.177.38 as my address if it is possible, but I'll
|
|
also accept any IP address between 192.244.177.0 and 192.244.177.255.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
I'd like to make him use 192.244.177.2 as his own address, but I'll also
|
|
permit him to use any IP address between 192.244.176.0 and
|
|
192.244.191.255.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
As you may have already noticed, 192.244.177.2 is equivalent to saying
|
|
192.244.177.2/32.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
As an exception, 0 is equivalent to 0.0.0.0/0, meaning that I have no
|
|
preferred IP address and will obey the remote peer's selection. When
|
|
using zero, no routing table entries will be made until a connection
|
|
is established.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
192.244.177.2/0 means that I'll accept/permit any IP address but I'll
|
|
try to insist that 192.244.177.2 be used first.

.Sh CONNECTING WITH YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER
|
|
|
|
The following steps should be taken when connecting to your ISP:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
Describe your provider's phone number(s) in the dial script using the
|
|
.Dq set phone
|
|
command. This command allows you to set multiple phone numbers for
|
|
dialing and redialing separated by a colon (:). For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set phone "1234567:2345678"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Here, the first number is attempted. If the connection fails, the second
|
|
number is attempted after the next number redial period. If the second number
|
|
also fails, the first is tried again after the redial period has expired.
|
|
The selected phone number is substituted for the \\T string in the
|
|
.Dq set dial
|
|
command (see below).
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
Set up your redial requirements using
|
|
.Dq set redial .
|
|
For example, if you have a bad telephone line or your provider is
|
|
usually engaged (not so common these days), you may want to specify
|
|
the following:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set redial 10 4
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This says that up to 4 phone calls should be attempted with a pause of 10
|
|
seconds before dialing the first number again.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
Describe your login procedure using the
|
|
.Dq set dial
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq set login
|
|
commands. The
|
|
.Dq set dial
|
|
command is used to talk to your modem and establish a link with your
|
|
ISP, for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 4 \\"\\" ATZ OK-ATZ-OK ATDT\\\\T TIMEOUT 60 CONNECT"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This modem "chat" string means:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
Abort if the string "BUSY" or "NO CARRIER" are received.
|
|
.It
|
|
Set the timeout to 4.
|
|
.It
|
|
Expect nothing.
|
|
.It
|
|
Send ATZ.
|
|
.It
|
|
Expect OK. If that's not received, send ATZ and expect OK.
|
|
.It
|
|
Send ATDTxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the next number in the phone list from
|
|
above.
|
|
.It
|
|
Set the timeout to 60.
|
|
.It
|
|
Wait for the CONNECT string.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
Once the connection is established, the login script is executed. This
|
|
script is written in the same style as the dial script:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set login "TIMEOUT 15 login:-\\\\r-login: awfulhak word: xxx ocol: PPP HELLO"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This login "chat" string means:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
Set the timeout to 15 seconds.
|
|
.It
|
|
Expect "login:". If it's not received, send a carriage return and expect
|
|
"login:" again.
|
|
.It
|
|
Send "awfulhak"
|
|
.It
|
|
Expect "word:" (the tail end of a "Password:" prompt).
|
|
.It
|
|
Send "xxx".
|
|
.It
|
|
Expect "ocol:" (the tail end of a "Protocol:" prompt).
|
|
.It
|
|
Send "PPP".
|
|
.It
|
|
Expect "HELLO".
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Login scripts vary greatly between ISPs.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
Use
|
|
.Dq set line
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq set sp
|
|
to specify your serial line and speed, for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set line /dev/cuaa0
|
|
set sp 115200
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Cuaa0 is the first serial port on FreeBSD. Cuaa1 is the second etc. A
|
|
speed of 115200 should be specified if you have a modem capable of bit
|
|
rates of 28800 or more. In general, the serial speed should be about
|
|
four times the modem speed.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
Use
|
|
.Dq set ifaddr
|
|
command to define the IP address.
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|

If you know what IP address your provider uses, then use it as the remote
|
|
address, otherwise choose something like 10.0.0.2/0 (see below).
|
|
.It
|
|
If your provider has assigned a particular IP address to you, then use
|
|
it as your address.
|
|
.It
|
|
If your provider assigns your address dynamically, choose a suitably
|
|
unobtrusive and unspecific IP number as your address. 10.0.0.1/0 would

be appropriate. The bit after the / specifies how many bits of the
|
|
address you consider to be important, so if you wanted to insist on
|
|
something in the class C network 1.2.3.0, you could specify 1.2.3.1/24.

An example for a connection where you don't know your IP number or your
|
|
ISPs IP number would be:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set ifaddr 10.10.10.10/0 10.10.11.11/0 255.255.255.0
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
In most cases, your ISP will also be your default router. If this is
|
|
the case, add the lines
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
delete ALL
|
|
add 0 0 10.10.11.11
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
to
|
|
.Pa ppp.conf .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This tells
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to delete all non-direct routing entries for the tun interface that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is running on, then to add a default route to 10.10.11.11.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you're using dynamic IP numbers, you must also put these two lines
|
|
in the
|
|
.Pa ppp.linkup
|
|
file:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
delete ALL
|
|
add 0 0 HISADDR
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
HISADDR is a macro meaning the "other side"s IP number, and is
|
|
available once an IP number has been agreed (using LCP).
|
|
Now, once a connection is established,
|
|
.Nm ppp
|
|
will delete all non-direct interface routes, and add a default route
|
|
pointing at the peers IP number. You should use the same label as the
|
|
one used in
|
|
.Pa ppp.conf .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If commands are being typed interactively, the only requirement is
|
|
to type
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
add 0 0 HISADDR
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
after a successful dial.
|
|

|
|
If your provider requests that you use PAP/CHAP authentication methods, add
|
|
the next lines to your
|
|
.Pa ppp.conf
|
|
file:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
enable pap (or enable chap)

This section lists the available commands and their effect. They are
|
|
usable either from an interactive ppp session, from a configuration
|
|
file or from a telnet session.
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20
|
|
.It accept|deny|enable|disable option....
|
|
These directives tell
|
|
.Nm
|
|
how to negotiate the initial connection with the peer. Each
|
|
.Dq option
|
|
has a default of either accept or deny and enable or disable.
|
|
.Dq Accept
|
|
means that the option will be ACK'd if the peer asks for it.
|
|
.Dq Deny
|
|
means that the option will be NAK'd if the peer asks for it.
|
|
.Dq Enable
|
|
means that the option will be requested by us.
|
|
.Dq Disable
|
|
means that the option will not be requested by us.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dq Option
|
|
may be one of the following:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20
|
|
.It vjcomp
|
|
Default: Enabled and Accepted. This option decides if Van Jacobson
|
|
header compression will be used.
|
|
|
|
.It lqr
|
|
Default: Enabled and Accepted. This option decides if Link Quality
|
|
Requests will be sent. LQR is a protocol that allows
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to determine that the link is down without relying on the modems
|
|
carrier detect.
|
|
|
|
.It chap
|
|
Default: Disabled and Accepted. CHAP stands for Challenge Handshake
|
|
Authentication Protocol. Only one of CHAP and PAP (below) may be
|
|
negotiated. With CHAP, the authenticator sends a "challenge" message
|
|
to its peer. The peer uses a one-way hash function to encrypt the
|
|
challenge and sends the result back. The authenticator does the same,
|
|
and compares the results. The advantage of this mechanism is that no
|
|
passwords are sent across the connection.
|
|
|
|
A challenge is made when the connection is first made. Subsequent
|
|
challenges may occur.
|
|
|
|
When using CHAP, an
|
|
.Dq AuthName
|
|
and an
|
|
.Dq AuthKey
|
|
must be specified either in
|
|
.Pa ppp.conf
|
|
or in
|
|
.Pa ppp.secret .
|
|
|
|
.It pap
|
|
Default: Disabled and Accepted. PAP stands for Password Authentication
|
|
Protocol. Only one of PAP and CHAP (above) may be negotiated. With
|
|
PAP, the ID and Password are sent repeatedly to the peer until
|
|
authentication is acknowledged or the connection is terminated. This
|
|
is a rather poor security mechanism. It is only performed when the
|
|
connection is first established.
|
|
|
|
When using PAP, an
|
|
.Dq AuthName
|
|
and an
|
|
.Dq AuthKey
|
|
must be specified either in
|
|
.Pa ppp.conf
|
|
or in
|
|
.Pa ppp.secret
|
|
(although see the
|
|
.Dq passwdauth
|
|
option below).
|
|
|
|
.It acfcomp
|
|
Default: Enabled and Accepted. ACFComp stands for Address and Control
|
|
Field Compression. Non LCP packets usually have very similar address
|
|
and control fields - making them easily compressable.
|
|
|
|
.It protocomp
|
|
Default: Enabled and Accepted. This option is used to negotiate
|
|
PFC (Protocol Field Compression), a mechanism where the protocol
|
|
field number is reduced to one octet rather than two.
|
|
|
|
.It pred1
|
|
Default: Enabled and Accepted. This option decides if Predictor 1
|
|
compression will be used.
|
|
|
|
.It proxy
|
|
Default: Disabled and Denied. Unlike the other options (except
|
|
passwdauth below), this is not negotiated with the peer. Therefore,
|
|
accepting or denying it is of no use. Enabling this option will tell
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to proxy ARP for the peer.
|
|
|
|
.It msext
|
|
Default: Disabled and Accepted. This option allows the use
|
|
of Microsoft's ppp extensions, supporting the negotiation of
|
|
the Microsoft PPP DNS and the Microsoft NetBIOS NS.
|
|
|
|
.It passwdauth
|
|
Default: Disabled and Denied. Unlike the other options (except
|
|
.Dq proxy
|
|
above), this is not negotiated with the peer. Therefore,
|
|
accepting or denying it is of no use. Enabling this option will
|
|
tell the PAP authentication code to use the
|
|
.Pa passwd
|
|
file to authenticate the caller rather than the
|
|
.Pa ppp.secret
|
|
file.
|
|
|

.It add dest mask gateway
|
|
.Dq Dest
|
|
is the destination IP address and
|
|
.Dq mask
|
|
is its mask.
|
|
.Dq 0 0
|
|
refers to the default route.
|
|
.Dq Gateway
|
|
is the next hop gateway to get to the given

.It delete ALL | dest [gateway [mask]]
|
|
If
|
|
.Dq ALL
|
|
is specified, all non-direct entries in the routing for the interface
|
|
that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is using are deleted. This means all entries for tunX, except the entry
|
|
representing the actual link. When

is not used, any existing route with the given
|
|
.Dq dest ,
|

|
.Dq dial
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq login
|
|
scripts for the given
|
|
.Dq remote
|
|
system. Otherwise, the current settings are used to establish

|
|
.It passwd pass
|
|
Specify the password required for access to the full

|
|
|
|
.It load [remote]
|
|
Load the given
|
|
.Dq remote
|
|
label. If
|
|
.Dq remote
|
|
is not given, the
|
|
.Dq default

|
|
|
|
.It save
|
|
This option is not (yet) implemented.
|
|
|
|
.It set[up] var value
|
|
This option allows the setting of any of the following variables:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20
|
|
.It set accmap hex-value
|
|
ACCMap stands for Asyncronous Control Character Map. This is always
|
|
negotiated with the peer, and defaults to a value of 0x00000000.
|
|
This protocol is required to defeat hardware that depends on passing
|
|
certain characters from end to end (such as XON/XOFF etc).
|
|
|
|
.It set filter-name rule-no action [src_addr/src_width]
|
|
[dst_addr/dst_width] [proto [src [lt|eq|gt] port ]]
|
|
[dst [lt|eq|gt] port] [estab]
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Ppp
|
|
supports four filter sets. The afilter specifies packets that keep
|
|
the connection alive - reseting the idle timer. The dfilter specifies
|
|
packets that cause
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to dial when in
|
|
.Fl auto
|
|
mode. The ifilter specifies packets that are allowed to travel
|
|
into the machine and the ofilter specifies packets that are allowed
|
|
out of the machine. By default all filter sets allow all packets
|
|
to pass.
|
|
|
|
Rules are processed in order according to
|
|
.Dq n .
|
|
Up to 20 rules may be given for each set. If a packet doesn't match
|
|
any of the rules in a given set, it is discarded. In the case of
|
|
ifilters and ofilters, this means that the packet is dropped. In
|
|
the case of afilters it means that the packet will not reset the
|
|
idle timer and in the case of dfilters it means that the packet will
|
|
not trigger a dial.
|
|
|
|
Refer to the section on PACKET FILTERING above for further details.
|
|
|
|
.It set authkey|key value
|
|
This sets the authentication key (or password) used in PAP or CHAP
|
|
negotiation to the given value. It can also be used to specify the
|
|
password to be used in the dial or login scripts, preventing the
|
|
actual password from being logged.
|
|
|
|
.It set authname id
|
|
This sets the authentication id used in PAP or CHAP negotiation.
|
|
|
|
.It set ctsrts
|
|
This sets hardware flow control and is the default.
|
|
|
|
.It set device|line value
|
|
This sets the device to which ppp will talk to the given
|
|
.Dq value .
|
|
All serial device names are expected to begin with
|
|
.Pa /dev/ .
|
|
If
|
|
.Dq value
|
|
does not begin with
|
|
.Pa /dev/ ,
|
|
it must be of the format
|
|
.Dq host:port .
|
|
If this is the case,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will attempt to connect to the given
|
|
.Dq host
|
|
on the given
|
|
.Dq port .
|
|
Refer to the section on PPP OVER TCP above for further details.
|
|
|
|
.It set dial chat-script
|
|
This specifies the chat script that will be used to dial the other
|
|
side. See also the
|
|
.Dv set login
|
|
command below. Refer to
|
|
.Xr chat 8
|
|
and to the example configuration files for details of the chat script
|
|
format. The string \\\\T will be replaced with the current phone number
|
|
(see
|
|
.Dq set phone
|
|
below) and the string \\\\P will be replaced with the password (see
|
|
.Dq set key
|
|
above).
|
|
|
|
.It set escape value...
|
|
This option is similar to the
|
|
.Dq set accmap
|
|
option above. It allows the user to specify a set of characters that
|
|
will be `escaped' as they travel across the link.
|
|
|
|
.It set ifaddr myaddr hisaddr mask
|
|
This command specifies the IP addresses that will be used during
|
|
LCP negotiation. Addresses are specified using the format
|
|
|
|
.Dl a.b.c.d/n
|
|
|
|
Where a.b.c.d is the preferred IP, but n specifies how many bits
|
|
of the address we will insist on. If the /n bit is omitted, it
|
|
defaults to /32 unless the IP address is 0.0.0.0 in which case
|
|
the mask defaults to /0.
|
|
|
|
.It set log [+|-]value...
|
|
This command allows the adjustment of the current log level. Please
|
|
refer to the Logging Facility section for further details.
|
|
|
|
.It set login chat-script
|
|
This chat-script compliments the dial-script. If both are specified,
|
|
the login script will be executed after the dial script. Escape
|
|
sequences available in the dial script are also available here.
|
|
|
|
.It set mru value
|
|
The default MRU is 1500. If it is increased, the other side *may*
|
|
increase its mtu. There is no use decreasing the MRU to below the
|
|
default as the PPP protocol *must* be able to accept packets of at
|
|
least 1500 octets.
|
|
|
|
.It set mtu value
|
|
The default MTU is 1500. This may be increased by the MRU specified
|
|
by the peer. It may only be subsequently decreased by this option.
|
|
Increasing it is not valid as the peer is not necessarily able to
|
|
receive the increased packet size.
|
|
|
|
.It set openmode active|passive
|
|
By default, openmode is always active. That is,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will always initiate LCP negotiation. If you want to wait for the
|
|
peer to initiate LCP negotiation, you may use the value
|
|
.Dq passive .
|
|
|
|
.It set parity odd|even|none|mark
|
|
This allows the line parity to be set. The default value is none.
|
|
|
|
.It set phone telno[:telno]...
|
|
This allows the specification of the phone number to be used in
|
|
place of the \\\\T string in the dial and login chat scripts.
|
|
Multiple phone numbers may be given seperated by a colon (:).
|
|
If multiple numbers are given,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will dial them in rotation until a connection is made, retrying
|
|
the maximum number of times specified by
|
|
.Dq set redial
|
|
below. In
|
|
.Fl background
|
|
mode, each number is attempted at most once.
|
|
|
|
.It set reconnect timeout ntries
|
|
Should the line drop unexpectedly (due to loss of CD or LQR
|
|
failure), a connection will be re-established after the given
|
|
.Dq timeout .
|
|
The line will be re-connected at most
|
|
.Dq ntries
|
|
times.
|
|
.Dq Ntries
|
|
defaults to zero. A value of
|
|
.Dq random
|
|
for
|
|
.Dq timeout
|
|
will result in a variable pause, somewhere between 0 and 30 seconds.
|
|
|
|
.It set redial seconds[.nseconds] [attempts]
|
|
.Nm Ppp
|
|
can be instructed to attempt to redial
|
|
.Dq attempts
|
|
times. If more than one number is specified (see
|
|
.Dq set phone
|
|
above), a pause of
|
|
.Dq nseconds
|
|
is taken before dialing each number. A pause of
|
|
.Dq seconds
|
|
is taken before starting at the first number again. A value of
|
|
.Dq random
|
|
may be used here too.
|
|
|
|
.It set speed value
|
|
This sets the speed of the serial device.
|
|
|
|
.It set timeout Idle [ lqr [ retry ] ]
|
|
This command allows the setting of the idle timer, the LQR timer (if
|
|
enabled) and the retry timer.
|
|
|
|
.It set ns x.x.x.x
|
|
This option allows the setting of the Microsoft PPP DNS server that
|
|
will be negotiated.
|
|
|
|
.It set nbns
|
|
This option allows the setting of the Microsoft NetBIOS DNS server that
|
|
will be negotiated.
|
|
|
|
.It set help|?
|
|
This command gives a summary of available set commands.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
.It shell|! [command]
|
|
Execute a shell according to the value of the
|
|
.Dv SHELL
|
|
environment variable. If
|
|
.Dq command
|
|
is specified, it is executed without a parent shell. Note, it's possible
|
|
to use the

|
|
|
|
.It term
|
|
Go into terminal mode. Characters typed at the keyboard are sent to
|
|
the modem. Characters read from the modem are displayed on the
|
|
screen. When a
|
|
.Nm
|
|
peer is detected on the other side of the modem,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
automatically enables Packet Mode and goes back into command mode.
|
|
|
|
.It alias .....
|
|
This command allows the control of the aliasing (or masquerading)
|
|
facilities that are built into
|
|
.Nm ppp .
|
|
Until this code is required, it is not loaded by
|
|
.Nm ppp ,
|
|
and it is quite possible that the alias library is not installed
|
|
on your system (some administrators consider it a security risk).
|
|
|
|
If aliasing is enabled on your system, the following commands are
|
|
possible:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20
|
|
.It alias enable [yes|no]
|
|
This command either switches aliasing on or turns it off.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl alias
|
|
command line flag is synonomous with
|
|
.Dq alias enable yes .
|
|
|
|
.It alias port [proto targetIP:targetPORT [aliasIP:]aliasPORT]
|
|
This command allows us to redirect connections arriving at
|
|
.Dq aliasPORT
|
|
for machine [aliasIP] to
|
|
.Dq targetPORT
|
|
on
|
|
.Dq targetIP .
|
|
If proto is specified, only connections of the given protocol
|
|
are matched. This option is useful if you wish to things like
|
|
internet phone on the machines behind your gateway.
|
|
|
|
.It alias addr [addr_local addr_alias]
|
|
This command allows data for
|
|
.Dq addr_alias
|
|
to be redirected to
|
|
.Dq addr_local .
|
|
It is useful if you own a small number of real IP numbers that
|
|
you wish to map to specific machines behind your gateway.
|
|
|
|
.It alias deny_incoming [yes|no]
|
|
If set to yes, this command will refuse all incoming connections
|
|
by dropping the packets in much the same way as a firewall would.
|
|
|
|
.It alias log [yes|no]
|
|
This option causes various aliasing statistics and information to
|
|
be logged to the file
|
|
.Pa /var/log/alias.log .
|
|
|
|
.It alias same_ports [yes|no]
|
|
When enabled, this command will tell the alias library attempt to
|
|
avoid changing the port number on outgoing packets. This is useful
|
|
if you want to support protocols such as RPC and LPD which require
|
|
connections to come from a well known port.
|
|
|
|
.It alias use_sockets [yes|no]
|
|
When enabled, this option tells the alias library to create a
|
|
socket so that it can guarantee a correct incoming ftp data or
|
|
IRC connection.
|
|
|
|
.It alias unregistered_only [yes|no]
|
|
Only alter outgoing packets with an unregistered source ad-
|
|
dress. According to rfc 1918, unregistered source addresses
|
|
are 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 and 192.168.0.0/16.
|
|
|
|
.It alias help|?
|
|
This command gives a summary of available alias commands.
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
.It quit|bye [all]
|
|
Exit
|
|
.Nm ppp.
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is in interactive mode or if the
|
|
.Dq all
|
|
argument is given, ppp will exit, closing the connection. A simple
|
|
.Dq quit
|
|
issued from a telnet session will not close the current connection.
|
|
|
|
.It help|? [command]
|
|
Show a list of available commands. If
|
|
.Dq command
|
|
is specified, show the usage string for that command.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
|
|
This program was originally written by Toshiharu OHNO (tony-o@iij.ad.jp),
|
|
and was submitted to FreeBSD-2.0.5 by Atsushi Murai (amurai@spec.co.jp).
|
|
It's since had an enormous face lift and looks substantially different.
