.SH NAME
ppp \- Point to Point Protocol (aka iijppp)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ppp
[
.I -auto | -direct -dedicated
] [
.I system
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
This is user process \fIPPP\fR software package. Normally, \fIPPP\fR is implemented as a part of kernel and hard to debug and/or modify its behavior. However, in this implementation, \fIPPP\fR is implemented as a user process with the help of tunnel device driver.
.LP
.SH Major Features
.TP 2
o
Provide interactive user interface. Using its command mode, user can easily enter commands to establish the connection with the peer, check the status of connection, and close the connection.
.TP 2
o
Supports both of manual and automatic dialing. Interactive mode has ``term'' command which enables you to talk to your modem directory. When your modem is connected to the peer, and it starts to speak \fIPPP\fR, \fIPPP\fR software detects it and turns into packet mode automatically. Once you have convinced how to connect with the peer, you can write chat script to define necessary dialing and login procedure for later convenience.
.TP 2
o
Supports on-demand dialup capability. By using auto mode, \fIPPP\fR program will act as a daemon and wait for the packet send to the peer. Once packet is found, daemon automatically dials and establish the connection.
.TP 2
o
Can act as server which accept incoming \fIPPP\fR connection.
.TP 2
o
Supports PAP and CHAP authentification.
.TP 2
o
Supports packet filtering. User can define three kinds of filters; ifilter for incoming packet, ofilter for outgoing packet and dfilter to define dialing trigger packet.
.TP 2
o
Tunnel driver supports bpf. That is, user can use tcpdump to check packet flow over the \fIPPP\fR link.
.TP 2
o
Supports \fIPPP\fR over TCP capability.
.TP 2
o
Supports IETF draft Predictor-1 compression.
.TP 2
o
Runs under BSDI-1.1 and FreeBSD-1.1. Patch for NeXTSTEP 3.2 is also available on the net.

.LP
.SH AUTOMATIC DIALING
.LP
To use automatic dialing, you must prepare Dial and Login chat script.See example definition found in ppp.conf.sample(Format of ppp.conf is pretty simple.)
.LP
.TP 2
o
Each line contains one command, label or comment.
.TP 2
o
Line stating with # is treated as a comment line.
.TP 2
o
Label name has to start from first column and should be followed by colon (:).
.TP 2
o
Command line must contains space or tab at first column.
.LP
If ppp.conf is ready, specify destination label name when you invoke ppp. Commands associated with destination label is executed when ppp command is invoked. Note that commands associated with ``default'' label is ALWAYS executed.
Once connection is made, you'll find that prompt is changed to
capital \fIPPP\fR>.
% ppp pm2
...
ppp> dial
dial OK!
login OK!
PPP>
If ppp.linkup file is available, its contents are executed when \fIPPP\fR link is connected. See example which add default route. The string HISADDR matches with IP address of connected peer.
.LP
.SH DAIL ON DEMAND
.LP
To play with demand dialing, you must use -auto option. Also, you must specify destination label with proper setup in ppp.conf. It must contain ``ifaddr'' command to define peer's IP address. (refer /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample)
.LP
% ppp -auto pm2demand
...
%
.LP
When -auto is specified, \fIPPP\fR program works as a daemon. But, you are still able to use command features to check its behavior.
.LP
% telnet localhost 3000
...
PPP> show ipcp
....
.LP
Each ppp has associated port number, which is computed as "3000 + tunnel_device_number". If 3000 is not good base number, edit defs.h. When packet toward to remote network is detected, \fIPPP\fR will take dialing action and try to connect with the peer. If dialing is failed, program will wait for 30 seconds. Once this hold time expired, another trigger packet cause dialing action. Note that automatic re-dialing is NOT implemented.
.LP
To terminate program, use
PPP> close
\fBppp\fR> quit all
.LP
Simple ``quit'' command will terminates telnet connection, but \fIPPP\fR program itself is not terminated. You must use ``quit all'' to terminate the program running as daemon.
.LP
.SH PACKET FILTERING
.LP
This implementation supports packet filtering. There are three filters; ifilter, ofilter and dfilter. Here's some basics.
.LP
.TP 2
o
Filter definition has next 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]
a) filter-name should be ifilter, ofilter or dfiler.
b) There are two actions permit and deny. If given packet is matched
against the rule, action is taken immediately.
c) src_width and dst_width works like a netmask to represent address range.
d) proto must be one of icmp, udp or tcp.
.TP 2
o
Each filter can hold upto 20 rules. Rule number starts from 0. Entire rule set is not effective until rule 0 is defined.
.TP 2
o
If no rule is matched with a packet, that packet will be discarded (blocked).
.TP 2
o
Use ``set filer-name -1'' to flush all rules.
.LP
See /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.filter.example
.LP
.SH RECEIVE INCOMING PPP CONNECTION
.LP
To receive incoming \fIPPP\fR connection request, follow next steps.
.LP
a) Prepare bidir entry in your /etc/gettytab
bidir.38400:\
:bi:ap:hf:tc=38400-baud:
b) Edit /etc/ttys to enable getty on the port where modem is attached.
cua00 "/usr/libexec/getty stdir.38400" dialup on
Don't forget to send HUP signal to init process.
# kill -HUP 1
c) Prepare account for incoming user.
ppp:*:21:0:PPP Login User:/home/ppp:/usr/local/bin/ppplogin
d) Create /usr/local/bin/ppplogin file with next contents.
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/ppp -direct
You can specify label name for further control.
.LP
Direct mode (-direct) lets \fIPPP\fR to work with standard in and out. Again, you can telnet to 3000 to get command mode control.
.LP
.SH SETTING IDLE TIMER
.LP
To check/set idletimer, use ``show timeout'' and ``set timeout'' command.
.LP
Ex. ppp> set timeout 600
.LP
Timeout period is measured in secs and default value is 180 or 3 min. To disable idle timer function, use ``set timeout 0''.
.LP
.LP
In -auto mode, idle timeout cause \fIPPP\fR session closed. However, \fIPPP\fR program itself is keep running. Another trigger packet cause dialing action.
.LP
.SH Predictor-1 compression
.LP
This version supports CCP and Predictor type 1 compression based on current IETF-draft specs. As a default behavior, \fIPPP\fR will propose to use (or willing to accept) this capability and use it if peer agrees (or requests).
.LP
.LP
To disable CCP/predictor function completely, use ``disable pred'' and ``deny pred'' command.
.LP
.SH Controlling IP address
.LP
\fIPPP\fR uses IPCP to negotiate IP addresses. Each side of node informs IP address that willing to use to the peer, and if requested IP address is acceptable, \fIPPP\fR returns ACK to requester. Otherwise, \fIPPP\fR returns NAK to suggest the peer to use different IP address. When both side of nodes agrees to accept the received request (and send ACK), IPCP is reached to open state and network level connection is established.
.LP
.LP
To control, this IPCP behavior, this implementation has ``set ifaddr'' to define MY and HIS IP address.
.LP
.TP3
ifaddr src_addr dst_addr
.LP
Where, src_addr is the IP address that my side is willing to use, and dst_addr is the IP address which his side should use.
.LP
.TP3
ifaddr 192.244.177.38 192.244.177.2
For example, above specification means
.TP
o
I strongly want to use 192.244.177.38 as my side. I'll disagree when peer suggest me to use other addresses.
.TP 2
o
I strongly insists peer to use 192.244.177.2 as his side address. I don't permit him to use any IP address but 192.244.177.2. When peer request other IP address, I always suggest him to use 192.244.177.2.
.LP
This is all right, when each side has pre-determined IP address.
However, it is often the case one side is acting as a server which
controls IP address and the other side should obey the direction from him.
In order to allow more flexible behavior, `ifaddr' command allows user to specify IP address more loosely.
.LP
.TP 2
ifaddr 192.244.177.38/24 192.244.177.2/20
Number followed by slash (/) represents number of bits significant in IP address. That is, this example means
.TP 2
o
I'd like to use 192.244.177.38 as my side address, if it is possible. But I also accept any IP address between 192.244.177.0 and 192.244.177.255.
.TP 2
o
I'd like to make him to use 192.244.177.2 as his side address. But I also permit him to use any IP address between 192.244.176.0 and 192.244.191.255.
Notes:
.TP 2
o
As you may have already noticed, 192.244.177.2 is equivalent to say 192.244.177.2/32.
.TP 2
o
As an exception, 0 is equivalent to 0.0.0.0/0. Means, I have no idea about IP address and obey what he says.
.TP 2
o
192.244.177.2/0 means that I'll accept/permit any IP address but I'll try to insist to use 192.244.177.2 at first.
.SH Connecting with service provider
.LP
1) Describe provider's phone number in DialScript. Use ``set dial'' or
``set phone'' command.
2) Describle login procedure in LoginScript. Use ``set login'' command.
.TP
3) Use ``set ifaddr'' command to define IP address.
o If you know what IP address provider uses, then use it as his address.
o If provider has assigned particular IP address for you, then use it
as my address.
o If provider assigns your address dynamically, use 0 as my address.
o If you have no info on IP addresses, then try
set ifaddr 0 0
.TP 2
4) If provider request you to use PAP/CHAP auth method,
add next lines into your ppp.conf.
.TP 3
.B enable pap (or enable chap)
.TP 3
.B disable chap (or disable pap)
.TP 3
.B set authname MyName
.TP 3
.B set authkey MyPassword
.TP 3
.LP
