|
.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 demon 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.
|
|
Can act as server which accepts incoming
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
connections.
|
|
|
|
.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)
|
|
|
|
.It Runs under BSDI-1.1 and FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
|
|
Patches for NeXTSTEP 3.2 are also available on the net.
|
|
|
|
.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, you'll need to rebuild your kernel with the
|
|
following line in your kernel configuration file:
|
|
|
|
.Dl pseudo-device tun 1
|
|
|
|
You should set the numeric field to the maximum number of
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
connections you wish to support.
|
|
|
|
Second, check your
|
|
.Pa /dev
|
|
directory for the tunnel device entry
|
|
.Pa /dev/tun0.
|
|
If it doesn't exist, you can create it by running "MAKEDEV tun0"

|
|
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: *

.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 has to start in the first column and should be followed by
|
|
a colon (:).
|
|
.It
|
|
A command line must contain a space or tab in the first column.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
Once ppp.conf is ready, specify the destination label name when you
|
|
invoke
|
|
.Nm ppp .
|
|
Commands associated with the destination label are then
|
|
executed. Note that the commands associated with the
|
|
.Dq default
|
|
label are ALWAYS executed.
|
|
|
|
Once the connection is made, you'll find that the
|
|
.Nm ppp
|
|
portion of the prompt has changed to
|
|
.Nm PPP .
|
|
|
|
% ppp pm2
|
|
...
|
|
ppp ON tama> dial
|
|
dial OK!
|
|
login OK!
|
|
PPP ON tama>
|
|
|
|
If the
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
|
|
file is available, its contents are executed
|
|
when the
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
connection is established. See the provided example which adds a
|
|
default route. The string HISADDR represents the IP address of the
|
|
remote peer.
|
|
|
|
.Sh BACKGROUND DIALING
|
|
|
|
If you want to establish a connection using
|
|
.Nm ppp non-interactively (such as from a
|
|
.Xr crontab(5)
|
|
entry or an
|
|
.Xr at(1)
|
|
script) you should use the
|
|
.Fl background
|
|
option. You must also specify the destination label in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
|
|
to use.
|
|
|
|
When
|
|
.Fl background
|
|
is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
attempts to establish the connection. If this attempt fails,
|
|
.Nm ppp
|
|
exits immediately with a non-zero exit code.
|
|
|
|
If it succeeds, then
|
|
.Nm ppp
|
|
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 TERM signal.
|
|
|
|
The file
|
|
.Pa /var/run/ppp.tun0.pid
|
|
contains the process id number of the
|
|
.Nm ppp
|
|
program that is using the tunnel device tun0.
|
|
|
|
.Sh DIAL ON DEMAND
|
|
|
|
To play with demand dialing, you must use the
|
|
.Fl auto
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl ddial
|
|
option. You must also specify the destination label in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
|
|
to use. It should contain the
|
|
.Dq ifaddr
|
|
command to define the remote peer's IP address. (refer to
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample )
|
|
|
|
% ppp -auto pm2demand
|
|
...
|
|
%
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
|
|
% telnet localhost 3000
|
|
Trying 127.0.0.1...
|
|
Connected to localhost.spec.co.jp.
|
|
Escape character is '^]'.

|
|
what ?
|
|
PPP on tama> pass xxxx
|
|
PPP ON tama> show ipcp
|
|
IPCP [OPEND]
|
|
his side: xxxx
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon has an associated port number which is computed as "3000 +
|
|
tunnel_device_number". If 3000 is not good base number, edit defs.h in
|
|
the ppp sources (
|
|
.Pa /usr/src/usr.sbin/ppp )
|
|
and recompile it.
|
|
|
|
When an outgoing packet is detected,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will perform the dialing action (chat script) and try to connect
|
|
with the peer.
|
|
|
|
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 [dial_attempts]
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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 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.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set redial 10 4
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
will attempt to connect 4 times for each outgoing packet that is
|
|
detected with a 10 second delay between each attempt.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
To terminate the program, type
|
|
|
|
PPP ON tama> close
|
|
ppp ON tama> 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 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 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 /etc/sysconfig
|
|
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 three kinds of
|
|
filters: ifilter, ofilter and dfilter. 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, or dfilter.
|
|
.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.
|
|
|
|
.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 RECEIVING INCOMING PPP CONNECTIONS (Method 1)
|
|
|
|
To handle an incoming
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
connection request, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
Make sure the modem and (optionally)
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.serial
|
|
is configured correctly.
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
Use Hardware Handshake (CTS/RTS) for flow control.
|
|
.It
|
|
Modem should be set to NO echo back (ATE0) and NO results string (ATQ1).
|
|
.El

|
.It
|
|
Edit
|
|
.Pa /etc/ttys

|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
.Dl ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" dialup on secure
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to send a HUP signal to the init process to start the getty.
|
|

.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:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
Get, configure, and install mgetty+sendfax v0.99 or later (beta)
|
|
making sure you have used the AUTO_PPP option.
|
|
.It
|
|
Edit
|
|
.Pa /etc/ttys
|
|
to enable a mgetty on the port where the modem is attached.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
.Dl cuaa1 "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 57600" dialup on
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
Prepare an account for the incoming user.
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
Pfred:xxxx:66:66:Fred's PPP:/home/ppp:/etc/ppp/ppp-dialup
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
Examine the files
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/sample.ppp-dialup
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/sample.ppp-pap-dialup
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/sample.ppp.conf
|
|
for ideas. ppp-pap-dialup is supposed to be called from
|
|
.Pa /usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.conf
|
|
from a line like
|
|
|
|
.Dl /AutoPPP/ - - /etc/ppp/ppp-pap-dialup
|
|
|
|
.Sh SETTING IDLE, LINE QUALITY REQUEST, RETRY TIMER
|
|
|
|
To check/set idletimer, use the
|
|
.Dq show timeout
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq set timeout [lqrtimer [retrytimer]]
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
Ex:
|
|
.Dl ppp ON tama> set timeout 600
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
.Dq set timeout 0 .
|
|
|
|
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 Op trg_addr
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
.Sq trg_addr
|
|
is the IP address which used in address negotiation.
|
|
|
|
Ex:
|
|
.Dl set ifaddr 192.244.177.38 192.244.177.2 255.255.255.0
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
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.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
.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.
