35.Nm ppp
36.Nd Point to Point Protocol (a.k.a. user-ppp)
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.Nm
39.Op Fl Va mode
40.Op Fl nat
41.Op Fl quiet
42.Op Fl unit Ns Ar N
43.Op Ar system ...
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45This is a user process
46.Em PPP
47software package.
48Normally,
49.Em PPP
50is implemented as a part of the kernel (e.g., as managed by
51.Xr pppd 8 )
52and it's thus somewhat hard to debug and/or modify its behaviour.
53However, in this implementation
54.Em PPP
55is done as a user process with the help of the
56tunnel device driver (tun).
57.Pp
58The
59.Fl nat
60flag does the equivalent of a
61.Dq nat enable yes ,
62enabling
63.Nm Ns No 's
64network address translation features.
65This allows
66.Nm
67to act as a NAT or masquerading engine for all machines on an internal
68LAN.
69ifdef({LOCALNAT},{},{Refer to
70.Xr libalias 3
71for details on the technical side of the NAT engine.
72})dnl
73Refer to the
74.Sx NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION (PACKET ALIASING)
75section of this manual page for details on how to configure NAT in
76.Nm .
77.Pp
78The
79.Fl quiet
80flag tells
81.Nm
82to be silent at startup rather than displaying the mode and interface
83to standard output.
84.Pp
85The
86.Fl unit
87flag tells
88.Nm
89to only attempt to open
90.Pa /dev/tun Ns Ar N .
91Normally,
92.Nm
93will start with a value of 0 for
94.Ar N ,
95and keep trying to open a tunnel device by incrementing the value of
96.Ar N
97by one each time until it succeeds.
98If it fails three times in a row
99because the device file is missing, it gives up.
100.Pp
101The following
102.Va mode Ns No s
103are understood by
104.Nm :
105.Bl -tag -width XXX -offset XXX
106.It Fl auto
107.Nm
108opens the tun interface, configures it then goes into the background.
109The link isn't brought up until outgoing data is detected on the tun
110interface at which point
111.Nm
112attempts to bring up the link.
113Packets received (including the first one) while
114.Nm
115is trying to bring the link up will remain queued for a default of
1162 minutes.
117See the
118.Dq set choked
119command below.
120.Pp
121In
122.Fl auto
123mode, at least one
124.Dq system
125must be given on the command line (see below) and a
126.Dq set ifaddr
127must be done in the system profile that specifies a peer IP address to
128use when configuring the interface.
129Something like
130.Dq 10.0.0.1/0
131is usually appropriate.
132See the
133.Dq pmdemand
134system in
135.Pa /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample
136for an example.
137.It Fl background
138Here,
139.Nm
140attempts to establish a connection with the peer immediately.
141If it succeeds,
142.Nm
143goes into the background and the parent process returns an exit code
144of 0.
145If it fails,
146.Nm
147exits with a non-zero result.
148.It Fl foreground
149In foreground mode,
150.Nm
151attempts to establish a connection with the peer immediately, but never
152becomes a daemon.
153The link is created in background mode.
154This is useful if you wish to control
155.Nm Ns No 's
156invocation from another process.
157.It Fl direct
158This is used for receiving incoming connections.
159.Nm
160ignores the
161.Dq set device
162line and uses descriptor 0 as the link.
163.Pp
164If callback is configured,
165.Nm
166will use the
167.Dq set device
168information when dialing back.
169.It Fl dedicated
170This option is designed for machines connected with a dedicated
171wire.
172.Nm
173will always keep the device open and will never use any configured
174chat scripts.
175.It Fl ddial
176This mode is equivalent to
177.Fl auto
178mode except that
179.Nm
180will bring the link back up any time it's dropped for any reason.
181.It Fl interactive
182This is a no-op, and gives the same behaviour as if none of the above
183modes have been specified.
184.Nm
185loads any sections specified on the command line then provides an
186interactive prompt.
187.El
188.Pp
189One or more configuration entries or systems
190(as specified in
191.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf )
192may also be specified on the command line.
193.Nm
194will read the
195.Dq default
196system from
197.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
198at startup, followed by each of the systems specified on the command line.
199.Sh Major Features
200.Bl -diag
201.It Provides an interactive user interface.
202Using its command mode, the user can
203easily enter commands to establish the connection with the remote end, check
204the status of connection and close the connection.
205All functions can also be optionally password protected for security.
206.It Supports both manual and automatic dialing.
207Interactive mode has a
208.Dq term
209command which enables you to talk to the device directly.
210When you are connected to the remote peer and it starts to talk
211.Em PPP ,
212.Nm
213detects it and switches to packet mode automatically.
214Once you have
215determined the proper sequence for connecting with the remote host, you
216can write a chat script to {define} the necessary dialing and login
217procedure for later convenience.
218.It Supports on-demand dialup capability.
219By using
220.Fl auto
221mode,
222.Nm
223will act as a daemon and wait for a packet to be sent over the
224.Em PPP
225link.
226When this happens, the daemon automatically dials and establishes the
227connection.
228In almost the same manner
229.Fl ddial
230mode (direct-dial mode) also automatically dials and establishes the
231connection.
232However, it differs in that it will dial the remote site
233any time it detects the link is down, even if there are no packets to be
234sent.
235This mode is useful for full-time connections where we worry less
236about line charges and more about being connected full time.
237A third
238.Fl dedicated
239mode is also available.
240This mode is targeted at a dedicated link between two machines.
241.Nm
242will never voluntarily quit from dedicated mode - you must send it the
243.Dq quit all
244command via its diagnostic socket.
245A
246.Dv SIGHUP
247will force an LCP renegotiation, and a
248.Dv SIGTERM
249will force it to exit.
250.It Supports client callback.
251.Nm
252can use either the standard LCP callback protocol or the Microsoft
253CallBack Control Protocol
254.Pa ( ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/rfc/cbcp.txt ) .
255.It Supports NAT or packet aliasing.
256Packet aliasing (a.k.a. IP masquerading) allows computers on a
257private, unregistered network to access the Internet.
258The
259.Em PPP
260host acts as a masquerading gateway.
261IP addresses as well as TCP and
262UDP port numbers are NAT'd for outgoing packets and de-NAT'd for
263returning packets.
264.It Supports background PPP connections.
265In background mode, if
266.Nm
267successfully establishes the connection, it will become a daemon.
268Otherwise, it will exit with an error.
269This allows the setup of
270scripts that wish to execute certain commands only if the connection
271is successfully established.
272.It Supports server-side PPP connections.
273In direct mode,
274.Nm
275acts as server which accepts incoming
276.Em PPP
277connections on stdin/stdout.
278.It "Supports PAP and CHAP (rfc 1994, 2433 and 2759) authentication.
279With PAP or CHAP, it is possible to skip the Unix style
280.Xr login 1
281procedure, and use the
282.Em PPP
283protocol for authentication instead.
284If the peer requests Microsoft CHAP authentication and
285.Nm
286is compiled with DES support, an appropriate MD4/DES response will be
287made.
288.It Supports RADIUS (rfc 2138 & 2548) authentication.
289An extension to PAP and CHAP,
290.Em \&R Ns No emote
291.Em \&A Ns No ccess
292.Em \&D Ns No ial
293.Em \&I Ns No n
294.Em \&U Ns No ser
295.Em \&S Ns No ervice
296allows authentication information to be stored in a central or
297distributed database along with various per-user framed connection
298characteristics.
299ifdef({LOCALRAD},{},{If
300.Xr libradius 3
301is available at compile time,
302.Nm
303will use it to make
304.Em RADIUS
305requests when configured to do so.
306})dnl
307.It Supports Proxy Arp.
308.Nm
309can be configured to make one or more proxy arp entries on behalf of
310the peer.
311This allows routing from the peer to the LAN without
312configuring each machine on that LAN.
313.It Supports packet filtering.
314User can {define} four kinds of filters: the
315.Em in
316filter for incoming packets, the
317.Em out
318filter for outgoing packets, the
319.Em dial
320filter to {define} a dialing trigger packet and the
321.Em alive
322filter for keeping a connection alive with the trigger packet.
323.It Tunnel driver supports bpf.
324The user can use
325.Xr tcpdump 1
326to check the packet flow over the
327.Em PPP
328link.
329.It Supports PPP over TCP and PPP over UDP.
330If a device name is specified as
331.Em host Ns No : Ns Em port Ns
332.Xo
333.Op / Ns tcp|udp ,
334.Xc
335.Nm
336will open a TCP or UDP connection for transporting data rather than using a
337conventional serial device.
338UDP connections force
339.Nm
340into synchronous mode.
341.It Supports PPP over ISDN.
342If
343.Nm
344is given a raw B-channel i4b device to open as a link, it's able to talk
345to the
346.Xr isdnd 8
347daemon to establish an ISDN connection.
348.It Supports PPP over Ethernet (rfc 2516).
349If
350.Nm
351is given a device specification of the format
352.No PPPoE: Ns Ar iface Ns Xo
353.Op \&: Ns Ar provider Ns
354.Xc
355and if
356.Xr netgraph 4
357is available,
358.Nm
359will attempt talk
360.Em PPP
361over Ethernet to
362.Ar provider
363using the
364.Ar iface
365network interface.
366.Pp
367On systems that do not support
368.Xr netgraph 4 ,
369an external program such as
370.Xr pppoe 8
371may be used.
372.It "Supports IETF draft Predictor-1 (rfc 1978) and DEFLATE (rfc 1979) compression."
373.Nm
374supports not only VJ-compression but also Predictor-1 and DEFLATE compression.
375Normally, a modem has built-in compression (e.g., v42.bis) and the system
376may receive higher data rates from it as a result of such compression.
377While this is generally a good thing in most other situations, this
378higher speed data imposes a penalty on the system by increasing the
379number of serial interrupts the system has to process in talking to the
380modem and also increases latency.
381Unlike VJ-compression, Predictor-1 and DEFLATE compression pre-compresses
382.Em all
383network traffic flowing through the link, thus reducing overheads to a
384minimum.
385.It Supports Microsoft's IPCP extensions (rfc 1877).
386Name Server Addresses and NetBIOS Name Server Addresses can be negotiated
387with clients using the Microsoft
388.Em PPP
389stack (i.e., Win95, WinNT)
390.It Supports Multi-link PPP (rfc 1990)
391It is possible to configure
392.Nm
393to open more than one physical connection to the peer, combining the
394bandwidth of all links for better throughput.
395.It Supports MPPE (draft-ietf-pppext-mppe)
396MPPE is Microsoft Point to Point Encryption scheme.
397It is possible to configure
398.Nm
399to participate in Microsoft's Windows VPN.
400For now,
401.Nm
402can only get encryption keys from CHAP 81 authentication.
403.Nm
404must be compiled with DES for MPPE to operate.
405.It Supports IPV6CP (rfc 2023).
406An IPv6 connection can be made in addition to or instead of the normal
407IPv4 connection.
408.El
409.Sh PERMISSIONS
410.Nm

412.Dv root
413and group

415with permissions
416.Dv 04554 .
417By default,
418.Nm
419will not run if the invoking user id is not zero.
420This may be overridden by using the
421.Dq allow users
422command in
423.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf .
424When running as a normal user,
425.Nm
426switches to user id 0 in order to alter the system routing table, set up
427system lock files and read the ppp configuration files.
428All external commands (executed via the "shell" or "!bg" commands) are executed
429as the user id that invoked
430.Nm .
431Refer to the
432.Sq ID0
433logging facility if you're interested in what exactly is done as user id
434zero.
435.Sh GETTING STARTED
436When you first run
437.Nm
438you may need to deal with some initial configuration details.
439.Bl -bullet
440.It
441Your kernel must {include} a tunnel device (the GENERIC kernel includes
442one by default).
443If it doesn't, or if you require more than one tun
444interface, you'll need to rebuild your kernel with the following line in
445your kernel configuration file:
446.Pp
447.Dl pseudo-device tun N
448.Pp
449where
450.Ar N
451is the maximum number of
452.Em PPP
453connections you wish to support.
454.It
455Check your
456.Pa /dev
457directory for the tunnel device entries
458.Pa /dev/tunN ,
459where
460.Sq N
461represents the number of the tun device, starting at zero.
462If they don't exist, you can create them by running "sh ./MAKEDEV tunN".
463This will create tun devices 0 through
464.Ar N .
465.It
466Make sure that your system has a group named
467.Dq network
468in the
469.Pa /etc/group
470file and that the group contains the names of all users expected to use
471.Nm .
472Refer to the
473.Xr group 5
474manual page for details.
475Each of these users must also be given access using the
476.Dq allow users
477command in
478.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf .
479.It
480Create a log file.
481.Nm
482uses
483.Xr syslog 3
484to log information.
485A common log file name is
486.Pa /var/log/ppp.log .
487To make output go to this file, put the following lines in the
488.Pa /etc/syslog.conf
489file:
490.Bd -literal -offset indent
491!ppp
492*.*<TAB>/var/log/ppp.log
493.Ed
494.Pp
495It is possible to have more than one
496.Em PPP
497log file by creating a link to the
498.Nm
499executable:
500.Pp
501.Dl # cd /usr/sbin
502.Dl # ln ppp ppp0

508.Ed
509.Pp
510in
511.Pa /etc/syslog.conf .
512Don't forget to send a
513.Dv HUP
514signal to
515.Xr syslogd 8
516after altering
517.Pa /etc/syslog.conf .
518.It
519Although not strictly relevant to
520.Nm Ns No 's
521operation, you should configure your resolver so that it works correctly.
522This can be done by configuring a local DNS
523(using
524.Xr named 8 )
525or by adding the correct
526.Sq nameserver
527lines to the file
528.Pa /etc/resolv.conf .
529Refer to the
530.Xr resolv.conf 5
531manual page for details.
532.Pp
533Alternatively, if the peer supports it,
534.Nm
535can be configured to ask the peer for the nameserver address(es) and to
536update
537.Pa /etc/resolv.conf
538automatically.
539Refer to the
540.Dq enable dns
541and
542.Dq resolv
543commands below for details.
544.El
545.Sh MANUAL DIALING
546In the following examples, we assume that your machine name is
547.Dv awfulhak .
548when you invoke
549.Nm
550(see
551.Sx PERMISSIONS
552above) with no arguments, you are presented with a prompt:
553.Bd -literal -offset indent
554ppp ON awfulhak>
555.Ed
556.Pp
557The
558.Sq ON
559part of your prompt should always be in upper case.
560If it is in lower case, it means that you must supply a password using the
561.Dq passwd
562command.
563This only ever happens if you connect to a running version of
564.Nm
565and have not authenticated yourself using the correct password.
566.Pp
567You can start by specifying the device name and speed:
568.Bd -literal -offset indent
569ppp ON awfulhak> set device /dev/cuaa0
570ppp ON awfulhak> set speed 38400
571.Ed
572.Pp
573Normally, hardware flow control (CTS/RTS) is used.
574However, under
575certain circumstances (as may happen when you are connected directly
576to certain PPP-capable terminal servers), this may result in
577.Nm
578hanging as soon as it tries to write data to your communications link
579as it is waiting for the CTS (clear to send) signal - which will never
580come.
581Thus, if you have a direct line and can't seem to make a
582connection, try turning CTS/RTS off with
583.Dq set ctsrts off .
584If you need to do this, check the
585.Dq set accmap
586description below too - you'll probably need to
587.Dq set accmap 000a0000 .
588.Pp
589Usually, parity is set to
590.Dq none ,
591and this is
592.Nm Ns No 's
593default.
594Parity is a rather archaic error checking mechanism that is no
595longer used because modern modems do their own error checking, and most
596link-layer protocols (that's what
597.Nm
598is) use much more reliable checking mechanisms.
599Parity has a relatively
600huge overhead (a 12.5% increase in traffic) and as a result, it is always
601disabled
602(set to
603.Dq none )
604when
605.Dv PPP
606is opened.
607However, some ISPs (Internet Service Providers) may use
608specific parity settings at connection time (before
609.Dv PPP
610is opened).
611Notably, Compuserve insist on even parity when logging in:
612.Bd -literal -offset indent

659.Pp
660If it does not, it's probable that the peer is waiting for your end to
661start negotiating.
662To force
663.Nm
664to start sending
665.Em PPP
666configuration packets to the peer, use the
667.Dq ~p
668command to drop out of terminal mode and enter packet mode.
669.Pp
670If you never even receive a login prompt, it is quite likely that the
671peer wants to use PAP or CHAP authentication instead of using Unix-style
672login/password authentication.
673To set things up properly, drop back to
674the prompt and set your authentication name and key, then reconnect:
675.Bd -literal -offset indent
676~.
677ppp ON awfulhak> set authname myispusername
678ppp ON awfulhak> set authkey myisppassword
679ppp ON awfulhak> term

681OK
682atdt123456
683CONNECT
684.Ed
685.Pp
686You may need to tell ppp to initiate negotiations with the peer here too:
687.Bd -literal -offset indent
688~p
689ppp ON awfulhak>               # No link has been established
690Ppp ON awfulhak>               # We've connected & finished LCP

692PPP ON awfulhak>               # We've agreed IP numbers
693.Ed
694.Pp
695You are now connected!
696Note that
697.Sq PPP
698in the prompt has changed to capital letters to indicate that you have
699a peer connection.
700If only some of the three Ps go uppercase, wait until
701either everything is uppercase or lowercase.
702If they revert to lowercase, it means that
703.Nm
704couldn't successfully negotiate with the peer.
705A good first step for troubleshooting at this point would be to
706.Bd -literal -offset indent
707ppp ON awfulhak> set log local phase lcp ipcp
708.Ed
709.Pp
710and try again.
711Refer to the
712.Dq set log
713command description below for further details.
714If things fail at this point,
715it is quite important that you turn logging on and try again.
716It is also
717important that you note any prompt changes and report them to anyone trying
718to help you.
719.Pp
720When the link is established, the show command can be used to see how
721things are going:
722.Bd -literal -offset indent
723PPP ON awfulhak> show physical
724* Modem related information is shown here *
725PPP ON awfulhak> show ccp
726* CCP (compression) related information is shown here *

735PPP ON awfulhak> show bundle
736* Logical (high level) connection related information is shown here *
737.Ed
738.Pp
739At this point, your machine has a host route to the peer.
740This means
741that you can only make a connection with the host on the other side
742of the link.
743If you want to add a default route entry (telling your
744machine to send all packets without another routing entry to the other
745side of the
746.Em PPP
747link), enter the following command:
748.Bd -literal -offset indent
749PPP ON awfulhak> add default HISADDR
750.Ed
751.Pp
752The string
753.Sq HISADDR
754represents the IP address of the connected peer.
755If the
756.Dq add
757command fails due to an existing route, you can overwrite the existing
758route using
759.Bd -literal -offset indent
760PPP ON awfulhak> add! default HISADDR
761.Ed
762.Pp
763This command can also be executed before actually making the connection.
764If a new IP address is negotiated at connection time,
765.Nm
766will update your default route accordingly.
767.Pp
768You can now use your network applications (ping, telnet, ftp etc.)
769in other windows or terminals on your machine.
770If you wish to reuse the current terminal, you can put
771.Nm
772into the background using your standard shell suspend and background
773commands (usually
774.Dq ^Z
775followed by
776.Dq bg ) .
777.Pp
778Refer to the
779.Sx PPP COMMAND LIST
780section for details on all available commands.
781.Sh AUTOMATIC DIALING
782To use automatic dialing, you must prepare some Dial and Login chat scripts.
783See the example definitions in
784.Pa /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample
785(the format of
786.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
787is pretty simple).
788Each line contains one comment, inclusion, label or command:
789.Bl -bullet
790.It
791A line starting with a
792.Pq Dq #
793character is treated as a comment line.
794Leading whitespace are ignored when identifying comment lines.
795.It
796An inclusion is a line beginning with the word
797.Sq {!include} .
798It must have one argument - the file to {include}.
799You may wish to
800.Dq {!include} ~/.ppp.conf
801for compatibility with older versions of
802.Nm .
803.It
804A label name starts in the first column and is followed by
805a colon
806.Pq Dq \&: .
807.It
808A command line must contain a space or tab in the first column.
809.El
810.Pp
811The
812.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
813file should consist of at least a
814.Dq default
815section.
816This section is always executed.
817It should also contain
818one or more sections, named according to their purpose, for example,
819.Dq MyISP
820would represent your ISP, and
821.Dq ppp-in
822would represent an incoming
823.Nm
824configuration.
825You can now specify the destination label name when you invoke
826.Nm .
827Commands associated with the
828.Dq default
829label are executed, followed by those associated with the destination
830label provided.
831When
832.Nm
833is started with no arguments, the
834.Dq default
835section is still executed.
836The load command can be used to manually load a section from the
837.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
838file:
839.Bd -literal -offset indent
840ppp ON awfulhak> load MyISP
841.Ed
842.Pp
843Note, no action is taken by
844.Nm
845after a section is loaded, whether it's the result of passing a label on
846the command line or using the
847.Dq load
848command.
849Only the commands specified for that label in the configuration
850file are executed.
851However, when invoking
852.Nm
853with the
854.Fl background ,
855.Fl ddial ,
856or
857.Fl dedicated
858switches, the link mode tells
859.Nm
860to establish a connection.
861Refer to the
862.Dq set mode
863command below for further details.
864.Pp
865Once the connection is made, the
866.Sq ppp
867portion of the prompt will change to
868.Sq PPP :
869.Bd -literal -offset indent
870# ppp MyISP
871\&...
872ppp ON awfulhak> dial
873Ppp ON awfulhak>
874PPp ON awfulhak>
875PPP ON awfulhak>
876.Ed
877.Pp
878The Ppp prompt indicates that
879.Nm
880has entered the authentication phase.
881The PPp prompt indicates that
882.Nm
883has entered the network phase.
884The PPP prompt indicates that
885.Nm
886has successfully negotiated a network layer protocol and is in
887a usable state.
888.Pp
889If the
890.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
891file is available, its contents are executed
892when the
893.Em PPP
894connection is established.
895See the provided
896.Dq pmdemand
897example in
898.Pa /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample
899which runs a script in the background after the connection is established
900(refer to the
901.Dq shell
902and
903.Dq bg
904commands below for a description of possible substitution strings).
905Similarly, when a connection is closed, the contents of the
906.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.linkdown
907file are executed.
908Both of these files have the same format as
909.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf .
910.Pp
911In previous versions of
912.Nm ,
913it was necessary to re-add routes such as the default route in the
914.Pa ppp.linkup
915file.
916.Nm
917supports
918.Sq sticky routes ,
919where all routes that contain the
920.Dv HISADDR ,
921.Dv MYADDR ,
922.Dv HISADDR6
923or
924.Dv MYADDR6
925literals will automatically be updated when the values of these variables
926change.
927.Sh BACKGROUND DIALING
928If you want to establish a connection using
929.Nm
930non-interactively (such as from a
931.Xr crontab 5
932entry or an
933.Xr at 1
934job) you should use the
935.Fl background
936option.
937When
938.Fl background
939is specified,
940.Nm
941attempts to establish the connection immediately.
942If multiple phone
943numbers are specified, each phone number will be tried once.
944If the attempt fails,
945.Nm
946exits immediately with a non-zero exit code.
947If it succeeds, then
948.Nm
949becomes a daemon, and returns an exit status of zero to its caller.
950The daemon exits automatically if the connection is dropped by the
951remote system, or it receives a
952.Dv TERM
953signal.
954.Sh DIAL ON DEMAND
955Demand dialing is enabled with the
956.Fl auto
957or
958.Fl ddial
959options.
960You must also specify the destination label in
961.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
962to use.
963It must contain the
964.Dq set ifaddr
965command to {define} the remote peers IP address.
966(refer to
967.Pa /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample )
968.Bd -literal -offset indent
969# ppp -auto pmdemand
970.Ed
971.Pp
972When
973.Fl auto
974or
975.Fl ddial
976is specified,
977.Nm
978runs as a daemon but you can still configure or examine its
979configuration by using the
980.Dq set server
981command in
982.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf ,
983(for example,
984.Dq Li "set server +3000 mypasswd" )
985and connecting to the diagnostic port as follows:
986.Bd -literal -offset indent
987# pppctl 3000	(assuming tun0)
988Password:
989PPP ON awfulhak> show who
990tcp (127.0.0.1:1028) *
991.Ed
992.Pp
993The
994.Dq show who
995command lists users that are currently connected to
996.Nm
997itself.
998If the diagnostic socket is closed or changed to a different
999socket, all connections are immediately dropped.
1000.Pp
1001In
1002.Fl auto
1003mode, when an outgoing packet is detected,
1004.Nm
1005will perform the dialing action (chat script) and try to connect
1006with the peer.
1007In
1008.Fl ddial
1009mode, the dialing action is performed any time the line is found
1010to be down.
1011If the connect fails, the default behaviour is to wait 30 seconds
1012and then attempt to connect when another outgoing packet is detected.
1013This behaviour can be changed using the
1014.Dq set redial
1015command:
1016.Pp
1017.No set redial Ar secs Ns Xo
1018.Oo + Ns Ar inc Ns
1019.Op - Ns Ar max Ns
1020.Oc Ns Op . Ns Ar next
1021.Op Ar attempts
1022.Xc
1023.Pp
1024.Bl -tag -width attempts -compact
1025.It Ar secs
1026is the number of seconds to wait before attempting
1027to connect again.
1028If the argument is the literal string
1029.Sq Li random ,
1030the delay period is a random value between 1 and 30 seconds inclusive.
1031.It Ar inc
1032is the number of seconds that
1033.Ar secs
1034should be incremented each time a new dial attempt is made.
1035The timeout reverts to
1036.Ar secs
1037only after a successful connection is established.
1038The default value for
1039.Ar inc
1040is zero.
1041.It Ar max
1042is the maximum number of times
1043.Nm
1044should increment
1045.Ar secs .
1046The default value for
1047.Ar max
1048is 10.
1049.It Ar next
1050is the number of seconds to wait before attempting
1051to dial the next number in a list of numbers (see the
1052.Dq set phone
1053command).
1054The default is 3 seconds.
1055Again, if the argument is the literal string
1056.Sq Li random ,
1057the delay period is a random value between 1 and 30 seconds.
1058.It Ar attempts
1059is the maximum number of times to try to connect for each outgoing packet
1060that triggers a dial.
1061The previous value is unchanged if this parameter is omitted.
1062If a value of zero is specified for
1063.Ar attempts ,
1064.Nm
1065will keep trying until a connection is made.
1066.El
1067.Pp
1068So, for example:
1069.Bd -literal -offset indent
1070set redial 10.3 4
1071.Ed
1072.Pp
1073will attempt to connect 4 times for each outgoing packet that causes
1074a dial attempt with a 3 second delay between each number and a 10 second
1075delay after all numbers have been tried.
1076If multiple phone numbers
1077are specified, the total number of attempts is still 4 (it does not
1078attempt each number 4 times).
1079.Pp
1080Alternatively,
1081.Bd -literal -offset indent
1082set redial 10+10-5.3 20
1083.Ed
1084.Pp
1085tells
1086.Nm
1087to attempt to connect 20 times.
1088After the first attempt,
1089.Nm
1090pauses for 10 seconds.
1091After the next attempt it pauses for 20 seconds
1092and so on until after the sixth attempt it pauses for 1 minute.
1093The next 14 pauses will also have a duration of one minute.
1094If
1095.Nm
1096connects, disconnects and fails to connect again, the timeout starts again
1097at 10 seconds.
1098.Pp
1099Modifying the dial delay is very useful when running
1100.Nm
1101in
1102.Fl auto
1103mode on both ends of the link.
1104If each end has the same timeout,
1105both ends wind up calling each other at the same time if the link
1106drops and both ends have packets queued.
1107At some locations, the serial link may not be reliable, and carrier
1108may be lost at inappropriate times.
1109It is possible to have
1110.Nm
1111redial should carrier be unexpectedly lost during a session.
1112.Bd -literal -offset indent
1113set reconnect timeout ntries
1114.Ed
1115.Pp
1116This command tells
1117.Nm
1118to re-establish the connection
1119.Ar ntries
1120times on loss of carrier with a pause of
1121.Ar timeout
1122seconds before each try.
1123For example,
1124.Bd -literal -offset indent
1125set reconnect 3 5
1126.Ed
1127.Pp
1128tells
1129.Nm
1130that on an unexpected loss of carrier, it should wait
1131.Ar 3
1132seconds before attempting to reconnect.
1133This may happen up to
1134.Ar 5
1135times before
1136.Nm
1137gives up.
1138The default value of ntries is zero (no reconnect).
1139Care should be taken with this option.
1140If the local timeout is slightly
1141longer than the remote timeout, the reconnect feature will always be
1142triggered (up to the given number of times) after the remote side
1143times out and hangs up.
1144NOTE: In this context, losing too many LQRs constitutes a loss of
1145carrier and will trigger a reconnect.
1146If the
1147.Fl background
1148flag is specified, all phone numbers are dialed at most once until
1149a connection is made.
1150The next number redial period specified with the
1151.Dq set redial
1152command is honoured, as is the reconnect tries value.
1153If your redial
1154value is less than the number of phone numbers specified, not all
1155the specified numbers will be tried.
1156To terminate the program, type
1157.Bd -literal -offset indent
1158PPP ON awfulhak> close
1159ppp ON awfulhak> quit all
1160.Ed
1161.Pp

1303as in the first three steps for method 1 above.
1304.It
1305Add either
1306.Dq enable chap
1307or
1308.Dq enable pap
1309(or both)
1310to
1311.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
1312under the
1313.Sq incoming
1314label (or whatever label
1315.Pa ppplogin
1316uses).
1317.It
1318Create an entry in
1319.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret
1320for each incoming user:
1321.Bd -literal
1322Pfred<TAB>xxxx
1323Pgeorge<TAB>yyyy
1324.Ed
1325.El
1326.Pp
1327Now, as soon as
1328.Xr getty 8
1329detects a ppp connection (by recognising the HDLC frame headers), it runs
1330.Dq /usr/local/bin/ppplogin .
1331.Pp
1332It is
1333.Em VITAL
1334that either PAP or CHAP are enabled as above.
1335If they are not, you are
1336allowing anybody to establish a ppp session with your machine
1337.Em without
1338a password, opening yourself up to all sorts of potential attacks.
1339.Sh AUTHENTICATING INCOMING CONNECTIONS
1340Normally, the receiver of a connection requires that the peer
1341authenticates itself.
1342This may be done using
1343.Xr login 1 ,
1344but alternatively, you can use PAP or CHAP.
1345CHAP is the more secure of the two, but some clients may not support it.
1346Once you decide which you wish to use, add the command
1347.Sq enable chap
1348or
1349.Sq enable pap
1350to the relevant section of
1351.Pa ppp.conf .
1352.Pp
1353You must then configure the
1354.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret
1355file.
1356This file contains one line per possible client, each line
1357containing up to five fields:
1358.Pp
1359.Ar name Ar key Oo
1360.Ar hisaddr Op Ar label Op Ar callback-number
1361.Oc
1362.Pp
1363The
1364.Ar name
1365and
1366.Ar key
1367specify the client username and password.
1368If
1369.Ar key
1370is
1371.Dq \&*
1372and PAP is being used,
1373.Nm
1374will look up the password database
1375.Pq Xr passwd 5
1376when authenticating.
1377If the client does not offer a suitable response based on any
1378.Ar name Ns No / Ns Ar key
1379combination in
1380.Pa ppp.secret ,
1381authentication fails.
1382.Pp
1383If authentication is successful,
1384.Ar hisaddr
1385(if specified)
1386is used when negotiating IP numbers.
1387See the
1388.Dq set ifaddr
1389command for details.
1390.Pp
1391If authentication is successful and
1392.Ar label
1393is specified, the current system label is changed to match the given
1394.Ar label .
1395This will change the subsequent parsing of the
1396.Pa ppp.linkup
1397and
1398.Pa ppp.linkdown
1399files.
1400.Pp
1401If authentication is successful and
1402.Ar callback-number
1403is specified and
1404.Dq set callback
1405has been used in
1406.Pa ppp.conf ,
1407the client will be called back on the given number.
1408If CBCP is being used,
1409.Ar callback-number
1410may also contain a list of numbers or a
1411.Dq \&* ,
1412as if passed to the
1413.Dq set cbcp
1414command.
1415The value will be used in
1416.Nm Ns No 's
1417subsequent CBCP phase.
1418.Sh PPP OVER TCP and UDP (a.k.a Tunnelling)
1419Instead of running
1420.Nm
1421over a serial link, it is possible to
1422use a TCP connection instead by specifying the host, port and protocol as the
1423device:
1424.Pp
1425.Dl set device ui-gate:6669/tcp
1426.Pp
1427Instead of opening a serial device,
1428.Nm
1429will open a TCP connection to the given machine on the given
1430socket.
1431It should be noted however that
1432.Nm
1433doesn't use the telnet protocol and will be unable to negotiate
1434with a telnet server.
1435You should set up a port for receiving this
1436.Em PPP
1437connection on the receiving machine (ui-gate).
1438This is done by first updating
1439.Pa /etc/services
1440to name the service:
1441.Pp
1442.Dl ppp-in 6669/tcp # Incoming PPP connections over TCP
1443.Pp
1444and updating
1445.Pa /etc/inetd.conf
1446to tell
1447.Xr inetd 8
1448how to deal with incoming connections on that port:
1449.Pp
1450.Dl ppp-in stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/ppp ppp -direct ppp-in
1451.Pp
1452Don't forget to send a
1453.Dv HUP
1454signal to
1455.Xr inetd 8
1456after you've updated
1457.Pa /etc/inetd.conf .
1458Here, we use a label named
1459.Dq ppp-in .
1460The entry in
1461.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
1462on ui-gate (the receiver) should contain the following:
1463.Bd -literal -offset indent
1464ppp-in:
1465 set timeout 0
1466 set ifaddr 10.0.4.1 10.0.4.2
1467.Ed
1468.Pp
1469and the entry in
1470.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
1471should contain:
1472.Bd -literal -offset indent
1473ppp-in:
1474 add 10.0.1.0/24 HISADDR
1475.Ed
1476.Pp
1477It is necessary to put the
1478.Dq add
1479command in
1480.Pa ppp.linkup
1481to ensure that the route is only added after
1482.Nm
1483has negotiated and assigned addresses to its interface.
1484.Pp
1485You may also want to enable PAP or CHAP for security.
1486To enable PAP, add the following line:
1487.Bd -literal -offset indent
1488 enable PAP
1489.Ed
1490.Pp
1491You'll also need to create the following entry in
1492.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret :
1493.Bd -literal -offset indent
1494MyAuthName MyAuthPasswd
1495.Ed
1496.Pp
1497If
1498.Ar MyAuthPasswd
1499is a
1500.Dq * ,
1501the password is looked up in the
1502.Xr passwd 5
1503database.
1504.Pp
1505The entry in
1506.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
1507on awfulhak (the initiator) should contain the following:
1508.Bd -literal -offset indent
1509ui-gate:
1510 set escape 0xff
1511 set device ui-gate:ppp-in/tcp
1512 set dial
1513 set timeout 30
1514 set log Phase Chat Connect hdlc LCP IPCP IPV6CP CCP tun
1515 set ifaddr 10.0.4.2 10.0.4.1
1516.Ed
1517.Pp
1518with the route setup in
1519.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup :
1520.Bd -literal -offset indent
1521ui-gate:
1522 add 10.0.2.0/24 HISADDR
1523.Ed
1524.Pp
1525Again, if you're enabling PAP, you'll also need this in the
1526.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
1527profile:
1528.Bd -literal -offset indent
1529 set authname MyAuthName
1530 set authkey MyAuthKey
1531.Ed
1532.Pp
1533We're assigning the address of 10.0.4.1 to ui-gate, and the address
153410.0.4.2 to awfulhak.
1535To open the connection, just type
1536.Pp
1537.Dl awfulhak # ppp -background ui-gate
1538.Pp
1539The result will be an additional "route" on awfulhak to the
154010.0.2.0/24 network via the TCP connection, and an additional
1541"route" on ui-gate to the 10.0.1.0/24 network.
1542The networks are effectively bridged - the underlying TCP
1543connection may be across a public network (such as the
1544Internet), and the
1545.Em PPP
1546traffic is conceptually encapsulated
1547(although not packet by packet) inside the TCP stream between
1548the two gateways.
1549.Pp
1550The major disadvantage of this mechanism is that there are two
1551"guaranteed delivery" mechanisms in place - the underlying TCP
1552stream and whatever protocol is used over the
1553.Em PPP
1554link - probably TCP again.
1555If packets are lost, both levels will
1556get in each others way trying to negotiate sending of the missing
1557packet.
1558.Pp
1559To avoid this overhead, it is also possible to do all this using
1560UDP instead of TCP as the transport by simply changing the protocol
1561from "tcp" to "udp".
1562When using UDP as a transport,
1563.Nm
1564will operate in synchronous mode.
1565This is another gain as the incoming
1566data does not have to be rearranged into packets.
1567.Pp
1568Care should be taken when adding a default route through a tunneled
1569setup like this.
1570It is quite common for the default route
1571(added in
1572.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup )
1573to end up routing the link's TCP connection through the tunnel,
1574effectively garrotting the connection.
1575To avoid this, make sure you add a static route for the benefit of
1576the link:
1577.Bd -literal -offset indent
1578ui-gate:
1579 set escape 0xff
1580 set device ui-gate:ppp-in/tcp
1581 add ui-gate x.x.x.x
1582 .....
1583.Ed
1584.Pp
1585where
1586.Dq x.x.x.x
1587is the IP number that your route to
1588.Dq ui-gate
1589would normally use.
1590.Pp
1591When routing your connection across a public network such as the Internet,
1592it is preferable to encrypt the data.
1593This can be done with the help of the MPPE protocol, although currently this
1594means that you will not be able to also compress the traffic as MPPE is
1595implemented as a compression layer (thank Microsoft for this).
1596To enable MPPE encryption, add the following lines to
1597.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
1598on the server:
1599.Bd -literal -offset indent
1600  enable MSCHAPv2
1601  disable deflate pred1
1602  deny deflate pred1
1603.Ed
1604.Pp
1605ensuring that you've put the requisite entry in
1606.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret
1607(MSCHAPv2 is challenge based, so
1608.Xr passwd 5
1609cannot be used)
1610.Pp
1611MSCHAPv2 and MPPE are accepted by default, so the client end should work
1612without any additional changes (although ensure you have
1613.Dq set authname
1614and
1615.Dq set authkey
1616in your profile).
1617.Sh NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION (PACKET ALIASING)
1618The
1619.Fl nat
1620command line option enables network address translation (a.k.a. packet
1621aliasing).
1622This allows the
1623.Nm
1624host to act as a masquerading gateway for other computers over
1625a local area network.
1626Outgoing IP packets are NAT'd so that they appear to come from the
1627.Nm
1628host, and incoming packets are de-NAT'd so that they are routed
1629to the correct machine on the local area network.
1630NAT allows computers on private, unregistered subnets to have Internet
1631access, although they are invisible from the outside world.
1632In general, correct
1633.Nm
1634operation should first be verified with network address translation disabled.
1635Then, the
1636.Fl nat
1637option should be switched on, and network applications (web browser,
1638.Xr telnet 1 ,
1639.Xr ftp 1 ,
1640.Xr ping 8 ,
1641.Xr traceroute 8 )
1642should be checked on the
1643.Nm
1644host.
1645Finally, the same or similar applications should be checked on other
1646computers in the LAN.
1647If network applications work correctly on the
1648.Nm
1649host, but not on other machines in the LAN, then the masquerading
1650software is working properly, but the host is either not forwarding
1651or possibly receiving IP packets.
1652Check that IP forwarding is enabled in
1653.Pa /etc/rc.conf
1654and that other machines have designated the
1655.Nm
1656host as the gateway for the LAN.
1657.Sh PACKET FILTERING
1658This implementation supports packet filtering.
1659There are four kinds of
1660filters: the
1661.Em in
1662filter, the
1663.Em out
1664filter, the
1665.Em dial
1666filter and the
1667.Em alive
1668filter.
1669Here are the basics:
1670.Bl -bullet
1671.It
1672A filter definition has the following syntax:
1673.Pp
1674set filter
1675.Ar name
1676.Ar rule-no
1677.Ar action
1678.Op !\&
1679.Oo
1680.Op host
1681.Ar src_addr Ns Op / Ns Ar width
1682.Op Ar dst_addr Ns Op / Ns Ar width
1683.Oc
1684.Ar [ proto Op src Ar cmp port
1685.Op dst Ar cmp port
1686.Op estab
1687.Op syn
1688.Op finrst
1689.Op timeout Ar secs ]
1690.Bl -enum
1691.It
1692.Ar Name
1693should be one of
1694.Sq in ,
1695.Sq out ,
1696.Sq dial
1697or
1698.Sq alive .
1699.It
1700.Ar Rule-no
1701is a numeric value between
1702.Sq 0
1703and
1704.Sq 39
1705specifying the rule number.
1706Rules are specified in numeric order according to
1707.Ar rule-no ,
1708but only if rule
1709.Sq 0
1710is defined.
1711.It
1712.Ar Action
1713may be specified as
1714.Sq permit
1715or
1716.Sq deny ,
1717in which case, if a given packet matches the rule, the associated action
1718is taken immediately.
1719.Ar Action
1720can also be specified as
1721.Sq clear
1722to clear the action associated with that particular rule, or as a new
1723rule number greater than the current rule.
1724In this case, if a given
1725packet matches the current rule, the packet will next be matched against
1726the new rule number (rather than the next rule number).
1727.Pp
1728The
1729.Ar action
1730may optionally be followed with an exclamation mark
1731.Pq Dq !\& ,
1732telling
1733.Nm
1734to reverse the sense of the following match.
1735.It
1736.Op Ar src_addr Ns Op / Ns Ar width
1737and
1738.Op Ar dst_addr Ns Op / Ns Ar width
1739are the source and destination IP number specifications.
1740If
1741.Op / Ns Ar width
1742is specified, it gives the number of relevant netmask bits,
1743allowing the specification of an address range.
1744.Pp
1745Either
1746.Ar src_addr
1747or
1748.Ar dst_addr
1749may be given the values
1750.Dv MYADDR ,
1751.Dv HISADDR ,
1752.Dv MYADDR6
1753or
1754.Dv HISADDR6
1755(refer to the description of the
1756.Dq bg
1757command for a description of these values).
1758When these values are used,
1759the filters will be updated any time the values change.
1760This is similar to the behaviour of the
1761.Dq add
1762command below.
1763.It
1764.Ar Proto
1765may be any protocol from
1766.Xr protocols 5 .
1767.It
1768.Ar Cmp
1769is one of
1770.Sq \&lt ,
1771.Sq \&eq
1772or
1773.Sq \&gt ,
1774meaning less-than, equal and greater-than respectively.
1775.Ar Port
1776can be specified as a numeric port or by service name from
1777.Pa /etc/services .
1778.It
1779The
1780.Sq estab ,
1781.Sq syn ,
1782and
1783.Sq finrst
1784flags are only allowed when
1785.Ar proto
1786is set to
1787.Sq tcp ,
1788and represent the TH_ACK, TH_SYN and TH_FIN or TH_RST TCP flags respectively.
1789.It
1790The timeout value adjusts the current idle timeout to at least
1791.Ar secs
1792seconds.
1793If a timeout is given in the alive filter as well as in the in/out
1794filter, the in/out value is used.
1795If no timeout is given, the default timeout (set using
1796.Ic set timeout
1797and defaulting to 180 seconds) is used.
1798.El
1799.Pp
1800.It
1801Each filter can hold up to 40 rules, starting from rule 0.
1802The entire rule set is not effective until rule 0 is defined,
1803i.e., the default is to allow everything through.
1804.It
1805If no rule in a defined set of rules matches a packet, that packet will
1806be discarded (blocked).
1807If there are no rules in a given filter, the packet will be permitted.
1808.It
1809It's possible to filter based on the payload of UDP frames where those
1810frames contain a
1811.Em PROTO_IP
1812.Em PPP
1813frame header.
1814See the
1815.Ar filter-decapsulation
1816option below for further details.
1817.It
1818Use
1819.Dq set filter Ar name No -1
1820to flush all rules.
1821.El
1822.Pp
1823See
1824.Pa /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample .
1825.Sh SETTING THE IDLE TIMER
1826To check/set the idle timer, use the
1827.Dq show bundle
1828and
1829.Dq set timeout
1830commands:
1831.Bd -literal -offset indent
1832ppp ON awfulhak> set timeout 600
1833.Ed
1834.Pp
1835The timeout period is measured in seconds, the default value for which
1836is 180 seconds
1837(or 3 min).
1838To disable the idle timer function, use the command
1839.Bd -literal -offset indent
1840ppp ON awfulhak> set timeout 0
1841.Ed
1842.Pp
1843In
1844.Fl ddial
1845and
1846.Fl dedicated
1847modes, the idle timeout is ignored.
1848In
1849.Fl auto
1850mode, when the idle timeout causes the
1851.Em PPP
1852session to be
1853closed, the
1854.Nm
1855program itself remains running.
1856Another trigger packet will cause it to attempt to re-establish the link.
1857.Sh PREDICTOR-1 and DEFLATE COMPRESSION
1858.Nm
1859supports both Predictor type 1 and deflate compression.
1860By default,
1861.Nm
1862will attempt to use (or be willing to accept) both compression protocols
1863when the peer agrees
1864(or requests them).
1865The deflate protocol is preferred by
1866.Nm .
1867Refer to the
1868.Dq disable
1869and
1870.Dq deny
1871commands if you wish to disable this functionality.
1872.Pp
1873It is possible to use a different compression algorithm in each direction
1874by using only one of
1875.Dq disable deflate
1876and
1877.Dq deny deflate
1878(assuming that the peer supports both algorithms).
1879.Pp
1880By default, when negotiating DEFLATE,
1881.Nm
1882will use a window size of 15.
1883Refer to the
1884.Dq set deflate
1885command if you wish to change this behaviour.
1886.Pp
1887A special algorithm called DEFLATE24 is also available, and is disabled
1888and denied by default.
1889This is exactly the same as DEFLATE except that
1890it uses CCP ID 24 to negotiate.
1891This allows
1892.Nm
1893to successfully negotiate DEFLATE with
1894.Nm pppd
1895version 2.3.*.
1896.Sh CONTROLLING IP ADDRESS
1897For IPv4,
1898.Nm
1899uses IPCP to negotiate IP addresses.
1900Each side of the connection
1901specifies the IP address that it's willing to use, and if the requested
1902IP address is acceptable then
1903.Nm
1904returns an ACK to the requester.
1905Otherwise,
1906.Nm
1907returns NAK to suggest that the peer use a different IP address.
1908When
1909both sides of the connection agree to accept the received request (and
1910send an ACK), IPCP is set to the open state and a network level connection
1911is established.
1912To control this IPCP behaviour, this implementation has the
1913.Dq set ifaddr
1914command for defining the local and remote IP address:
1915.Bd -ragged -offset indent
1916.No set ifaddr Oo Ar src_addr Ns
1917.Op / Ns Ar \&nn
1918.Oo Ar dst_addr Ns Op / Ns Ar \&nn
1919.Oo Ar netmask
1920.Op Ar trigger_addr
1921.Oc
1922.Oc
1923.Oc
1924.Ed
1925.Pp
1926where,
1927.Sq src_addr
1928is the IP address that the local side is willing to use,
1929.Sq dst_addr
1930is the IP address which the remote side should use and
1931.Sq netmask
1932is the netmask that should be used.
1933.Sq Src_addr
1934defaults to the current
1935.Xr hostname 1 ,
1936.Sq dst_addr
1937defaults to 0.0.0.0, and
1938.Sq netmask
1939defaults to whatever mask is appropriate for
1940.Sq src_addr .
1941It is only possible to make
1942.Sq netmask
1943smaller than the default.
1944The usual value is 255.255.255.255, as
1945most kernels ignore the netmask of a POINTOPOINT interface.
1946.Pp
1947Some incorrect
1948.Em PPP
1949implementations require that the peer negotiates a specific IP
1950address instead of
1951.Sq src_addr .
1952If this is the case,
1953.Sq trigger_addr
1954may be used to specify this IP number.
1955This will not affect the
1956routing table unless the other side agrees with this proposed number.
1957.Bd -literal -offset indent
1958set ifaddr 192.244.177.38 192.244.177.2 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0
1959.Ed
1960.Pp
1961The above specification means:
1962.Pp
1963.Bl -bullet -compact
1964.It
1965I will first suggest that my IP address should be 0.0.0.0, but I
1966will only accept an address of 192.244.177.38.
1967.It
1968I strongly insist that the peer uses 192.244.177.2 as his own
1969address and won't permit the use of any IP address but 192.244.177.2.
1970When the peer requests another IP address, I will always suggest that
1971it uses 192.244.177.2.
1972.It
1973The routing table entry will have a netmask of 0xffffffff.
1974.El
1975.Pp
1976This is all fine when each side has a pre-determined IP address, however
1977it is often the case that one side is acting as a server which controls
1978all IP addresses and the other side should go along with it.
1979In order to allow more flexible behaviour, the
1980.Dq set ifaddr
1981command allows the user to specify IP addresses more loosely:
1982.Pp
1983.Dl set ifaddr 192.244.177.38/24 192.244.177.2/20
1984.Pp
1985A number followed by a slash
1986.Pq Dq /
1987represents the number of bits significant in the IP address.
1988The above example means:
1989.Pp
1990.Bl -bullet -compact
1991.It
1992I'd like to use 192.244.177.38 as my address if it is possible, but I'll
1993also accept any IP address between 192.244.177.0 and 192.244.177.255.
1994.It
1995I'd like to make him use 192.244.177.2 as his own address, but I'll also
1996permit him to use any IP address between 192.244.176.0 and
1997192.244.191.255.
1998.It
1999As you may have already noticed, 192.244.177.2 is equivalent to saying
2000192.244.177.2/32.
2001.It
2002As an exception, 0 is equivalent to 0.0.0.0/0, meaning that I have no
2003preferred IP address and will obey the remote peers selection.
2004When using zero, no routing table entries will be made until a connection
2005is established.
2006.It
2007192.244.177.2/0 means that I'll accept/permit any IP address but I'll
2008suggest that 192.244.177.2 be used first.
2009.El
2010.Pp
2011When negotiating IPv6 addresses, no control is given to the user.
2012IPV6CP negotiation is fully automatic.
2013.Sh CONNECTING WITH YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER
2014The following steps should be taken when connecting to your ISP:
2015.Bl -enum
2016.It
2017Describe your providers phone number(s) in the dial script using the
2018.Dq set phone
2019command.
2020This command allows you to set multiple phone numbers for
2021dialing and redialing separated by either a pipe
2022.Pq Dq \&|
2023or a colon
2024.Pq Dq \&: :
2025.Bd -ragged -offset indent
2026.No set phone Ar telno Ns Xo
2027.Oo \&| Ns Ar backupnumber
2028.Oc Ns ... Ns Oo : Ns Ar nextnumber
2029.Oc Ns ...
2030.Xc
2031.Ed
2032.Pp
2033Numbers after the first in a pipe-separated list are only used if the
2034previous number was used in a failed dial or login script.
2035Numbers
2036separated by a colon are used sequentially, irrespective of what happened
2037as a result of using the previous number.
2038For example:
2039.Bd -literal -offset indent
2040set phone "1234567|2345678:3456789|4567890"
2041.Ed
2042.Pp
2043Here, the 1234567 number is attempted.
2044If the dial or login script fails,
2045the 2345678 number is used next time, but *only* if the dial or login script
2046fails.
2047On the dial after this, the 3456789 number is used.
2048The 4567890
2049number is only used if the dial or login script using the 3456789 fails.
2050If the login script of the 2345678 number fails, the next number is still the
20513456789 number.
2052As many pipes and colons can be used as are necessary
2053(although a given site would usually prefer to use either the pipe or the
2054colon, but not both).
2055The next number redial timeout is used between all numbers.
2056When the end of the list is reached, the normal redial period is
2057used before starting at the beginning again.
2058The selected phone number is substituted for the \\\\T string in the
2059.Dq set dial
2060command (see below).
2061.It
2062Set up your redial requirements using
2063.Dq set redial .
2064For example, if you have a bad telephone line or your provider is
2065usually engaged (not so common these days), you may want to specify
2066the following:
2067.Bd -literal -offset indent
2068set redial 10 4
2069.Ed
2070.Pp
2071This says that up to 4 phone calls should be attempted with a pause of 10
2072seconds before dialing the first number again.
2073.It
2074Describe your login procedure using the
2075.Dq set dial
2076and
2077.Dq set login
2078commands.
2079The
2080.Dq set dial
2081command is used to talk to your modem and establish a link with your
2082ISP, for example:
2083.Bd -literal -offset indent
2084set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 4 \\"\\" \e
2085  ATZ OK-ATZ-OK ATDT\\\\T TIMEOUT 60 CONNECT"
2086.Ed
2087.Pp
2088This modem "chat" string means:
2089.Bl -bullet
2090.It
2091Abort if the string "BUSY" or "NO CARRIER" are received.
2092.It
2093Set the timeout to 4 seconds.
2094.It
2095Expect nothing.
2096.It
2097Send ATZ.
2098.It
2099Expect OK.
2100If that's not received within the 4 second timeout, send ATZ
2101and expect OK.
2102.It
2103Send ATDTxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the next number in the phone list from
2104above.
2105.It
2106Set the timeout to 60.
2107.It
2108Wait for the CONNECT string.
2109.El
2110.Pp
2111Once the connection is established, the login script is executed.
2112This script is written in the same style as the dial script, but care should
2113be taken to avoid having your password logged:
2114.Bd -literal -offset indent
2115set authkey MySecret
2116set login "TIMEOUT 15 login:-\\\\r-login: awfulhak \e
2117  word: \\\\P ocol: PPP HELLO"
2118.Ed
2119.Pp
2120This login "chat" string means:
2121.Bl -bullet
2122.It
2123Set the timeout to 15 seconds.
2124.It
2125Expect "login:".
2126If it's not received, send a carriage return and expect
2127"login:" again.
2128.It
2129Send "awfulhak"
2130.It
2131Expect "word:" (the tail end of a "Password:" prompt).
2132.It
2133Send whatever our current
2134.Ar authkey
2135value is set to.
2136.It
2137Expect "ocol:" (the tail end of a "Protocol:" prompt).
2138.It
2139Send "PPP".
2140.It
2141Expect "HELLO".
2142.El
2143.Pp
2144The
2145.Dq set authkey
2146command is logged specially.
2147When
2148.Ar command
2149or
2150.Ar chat
2151logging is enabled, the actual password is not logged;
2152.Sq ********
2153is logged instead.
2154.Pp
2155Login scripts vary greatly between ISPs.
2156If you're setting one up for the first time,
2157.Em ENABLE CHAT LOGGING
2158so that you can see if your script is behaving as you expect.
2159.It
2160Use
2161.Dq set device
2162and
2163.Dq set speed
2164to specify your serial line and speed, for example:
2165.Bd -literal -offset indent
2166set device /dev/cuaa0
2167set speed 115200
2168.Ed
2169.Pp
2170Cuaa0 is the first serial port on
2171.Dx .
2172If you're running
2173.Nm
2174on
2175.Ox ,
2176cua00 is the first.
2177A speed of 115200 should be specified
2178if you have a modem capable of bit rates of 28800 or more.
2179In general, the serial speed should be about four times the modem speed.
2180.It
2181Use the
2182.Dq set ifaddr
2183command to {define} the IP address.
2184.Bl -bullet
2185.It
2186If you know what IP address your provider uses, then use it as the remote
2187address (dst_addr), otherwise choose something like 10.0.0.2/0 (see below).
2188.It
2189If your provider has assigned a particular IP address to you, then use
2190it as your address (src_addr).
2191.It
2192If your provider assigns your address dynamically, choose a suitably
2193unobtrusive and unspecific IP number as your address.
219410.0.0.1/0 would be appropriate.
2195The bit after the / specifies how many bits of the
2196address you consider to be important, so if you wanted to insist on
2197something in the class C network 1.2.3.0, you could specify 1.2.3.1/24.
2198.It
2199If you find that your ISP accepts the first IP number that you suggest,
2200specify third and forth arguments of
2201.Dq 0.0.0.0 .
2202This will force your ISP to assign a number.
2203(The third argument will
2204be ignored as it is less restrictive than the default mask for your
2205.Sq src_addr ) .
2206.El
2207.Pp
2208An example for a connection where you don't know your IP number or your
2209ISPs IP number would be:
2210.Bd -literal -offset indent
2211set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
2212.Ed
2213.Pp
2214.It
2215In most cases, your ISP will also be your default router.
2216If this is the case, add the line
2217.Bd -literal -offset indent
2218add default HISADDR
2219.Ed
2220.Pp
2221to
2222.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
2223(or to
2224.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
2225for setups that don't use
2226.Fl auto
2227mode).
2228.Pp
2229This tells
2230.Nm
2231to add a default route to whatever the peer address is
2232(10.0.0.2 in this example).
2233This route is
2234.Sq sticky ,
2235meaning that should the value of
2236.Dv HISADDR
2237change, the route will be updated accordingly.
2238.It
2239If your provider requests that you use PAP/CHAP authentication methods, add
2240the next lines to your
2241.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
2242file:
2243.Bd -literal -offset indent
2244set authname MyName
2245set authkey MyPassword
2246.Ed
2247.Pp
2248Both are accepted by default, so
2249.Nm
2250will provide whatever your ISP requires.
2251.Pp
2252It should be noted that a login script is rarely (if ever) required
2253when PAP or CHAP are in use.
2254.It
2255Ask your ISP to authenticate your nameserver address(es) with the line
2256.Bd -literal -offset indent
2257enable dns
2258.Ed
2259.Pp
2260Do
2261.Em NOT
2262do this if you are running a local DNS unless you also either use
2263.Dq resolv readonly
2264or have
2265.Dq resolv restore
2266in
2267.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.linkdown ,
2268as
2269.Nm
2270will simply circumvent its use by entering some nameserver lines in
2271.Pa /etc/resolv.conf .
2272.El
2273.Pp
2274Please refer to
2275.Pa /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample
2276and
2277.Pa /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.linkup.sample

2428.El
2429.Sh MULTI-LINK PPP
2430If you wish to use more than one physical link to connect to a
2431.Em PPP
2432peer, that peer must also understand the
2433.Em MULTI-LINK PPP
2434protocol.
2435Refer to RFC 1990 for specification details.
2436.Pp
2437The peer is identified using a combination of his
2438.Dq endpoint discriminator
2439and his
2440.Dq authentication id .
2441Either or both of these may be specified.
2442It is recommended that
2443at least one is specified, otherwise there is no way of ensuring that
2444all links are actually connected to the same peer program, and some
2445confusing lock-ups may result.
2446Locally, these identification variables are specified using the
2447.Dq set enddisc
2448and
2449.Dq set authname
2450commands.
2451The
2452.Sq authname
2453(and
2454.Sq authkey )
2455must be agreed in advance with the peer.
2456.Pp
2457Multi-link capabilities are enabled using the
2458.Dq set mrru
2459command (set maximum reconstructed receive unit).
2460Once multi-link is enabled,
2461.Nm
2462will attempt to negotiate a multi-link connection with the peer.
2463.Pp
2464By default, only one
2465.Sq link
2466is available
2467(called
2468.Sq deflink ) .
2469To create more links, the
2470.Dq clone
2471command is used.
2472This command will clone existing links, where all
2473characteristics are the same except:
2474.Bl -enum
2475.It
2476The new link has its own name as specified on the
2477.Dq clone
2478command line.
2479.It
2480The new link is an
2481.Sq interactive
2482link.
2483Its mode may subsequently be changed using the
2484.Dq set mode
2485command.
2486.It
2487The new link is in a
2488.Sq closed
2489state.
2490.El
2491.Pp
2492A summary of all available links can be seen using the
2493.Dq show links
2494command.
2495.Pp
2496Once a new link has been created, command usage varies.
2497All link specific commands must be prefixed with the
2498.Dq link Ar name
2499command, specifying on which link the command is to be applied.
2500When only a single link is available,
2501.Nm
2502is smart enough not to require the
2503.Dq link Ar name
2504prefix.
2505.Pp
2506Some commands can still be used without specifying a link - resulting
2507in an operation at the
2508.Sq bundle
2509level.
2510For example, once two or more links are available, the command
2511.Dq show ccp
2512will show CCP configuration and statistics at the multi-link level, and
2513.Dq link deflink show ccp
2514will show the same information at the
2515.Dq deflink
2516link level.
2517.Pp
2518Armed with this information, the following configuration might be used:
2519.Bd -literal -offset indent
2520mp:
2521 set timeout 0
2522 set log phase chat
2523 set device /dev/cuaa0 /dev/cuaa1 /dev/cuaa2
2524 set phone "123456789"
2525 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \\"\\" ATZ \e
2526           OK-AT-OK \\\\dATDT\\\\T TIMEOUT 45 CONNECT"
2527 set login
2528 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
2529 set authname ppp
2530 set authkey ppppassword
2531
2532 set mrru 1500
2533 clone 1,2,3		# Create 3 new links - duplicates of the default
2534 link deflink remove	# Delete the default link (called ``deflink'')
2535.Ed
2536.Pp
2537Note how all cloning is done at the end of the configuration.
2538Usually, the link will be configured first, then cloned.
2539If you wish all links
2540to be up all the time, you can add the following line to the end of your
2541configuration.
2542.Bd -literal -offset indent
2543  link 1,2,3 set mode ddial
2544.Ed
2545.Pp
2546If you want the links to dial on demand, this command could be used:
2547.Bd -literal -offset indent
2548  link * set mode auto
2549.Ed
2550.Pp
2551Links may be tied to specific names by removing the
2552.Dq set device
2553line above, and specifying the following after the
2554.Dq clone
2555command:
2556.Bd -literal -offset indent
2557 link 1 set device /dev/cuaa0
2558 link 2 set device /dev/cuaa1
2559 link 3 set device /dev/cuaa2
2560.Ed
2561.Pp
2562Use the
2563.Dq help
2564command to see which commands require context (using the
2565.Dq link
2566command), which have optional
2567context and which should not have any context.
2568.Pp
2569When
2570.Nm
2571has negotiated
2572.Em MULTI-LINK
2573mode with the peer, it creates a local domain socket in the
2574.Pa /var/run
2575directory.
2576This socket is used to pass link information (including
2577the actual link file descriptor) between different
2578.Nm
2579invocations.
2580This facilitates
2581.Nm Ns No 's
2582ability to be run from a
2583.Xr getty 8
2584or directly from
2585.Pa /etc/gettydefs
2586(using the
2587.Sq pp=
2588capability), without needing to have initial control of the serial
2589line.
2590Once
2591.Nm
2592negotiates multi-link mode, it will pass its open link to any
2593already running process.
2594If there is no already running process,
2595.Nm
2596will act as the master, creating the socket and listening for new
2597connections.
2598.Sh PPP COMMAND LIST
2599This section lists the available commands and their effect.
2600They are usable either from an interactive
2601.Nm
2602session, from a configuration file or from a
2603.Xr pppctl 8
2604or
2605.Xr telnet 1
2606session.
2607.Bl -tag -width 2n
2608.It accept|deny|enable|disable Ar option....
2609These directives tell
2610.Nm
2611how to negotiate the initial connection with the peer.
2612Each
2613.Dq option
2614has a default of either accept or deny and enable or disable.
2615.Dq Accept
2616means that the option will be ACK'd if the peer asks for it.
2617.Dq Deny
2618means that the option will be NAK'd if the peer asks for it.
2619.Dq Enable
2620means that the option will be requested by us.
2621.Dq Disable
2622means that the option will not be requested by us.
2623.Pp
2624.Dq Option
2625may be one of the following:
2626.Bl -tag -width 2n
2627.It acfcomp
2628Default: Enabled and Accepted.
2629ACFComp stands for Address and Control Field Compression.
2630Non LCP packets will usually have an address
2631field of 0xff (the All-Stations address) and a control field of
26320x03 (the Unnumbered Information command).
2633If this option is
2634negotiated, these two bytes are simply not sent, thus minimising
2635traffic.
2636.Pp
2637See
2638.Pa rfc1662
2639for details.
2640.It chap Ns Op \&05
2641Default: Disabled and Accepted.
2642CHAP stands for Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol.
2643Only one of CHAP and PAP (below) may be negotiated.
2644With CHAP, the authenticator sends a "challenge" message to its peer.
2645The peer uses a one-way hash function to encrypt the
2646challenge and sends the result back.
2647The authenticator does the same, and compares the results.
2648The advantage of this mechanism is that no
2649passwords are sent across the connection.
2650A challenge is made when the connection is first made.
2651Subsequent challenges may occur.
2652If you want to have your peer authenticate itself, you must
2653.Dq enable chap .
2654in
2655.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf ,
2656and have an entry in
2657.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret
2658for the peer.
2659.Pp
2660When using CHAP as the client, you need only specify
2661.Dq AuthName
2662and
2663.Dq AuthKey
2664in
2665.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf .
2666CHAP is accepted by default.
2667Some
2668.Em PPP
2669implementations use "MS-CHAP" rather than MD5 when encrypting the
2670challenge.
2671MS-CHAP is a combination of MD4 and DES.
2672If
2673.Nm
2674was built on a machine with DES libraries available, it will respond
2675to MS-CHAP authentication requests, but will never request them.
2676.It deflate
2677Default: Enabled and Accepted.
2678This option decides if deflate
2679compression will be used by the Compression Control Protocol (CCP).
2680This is the same algorithm as used by the
2681.Xr gzip 1
2682program.
2683Note: There is a problem negotiating
2684.Ar deflate
2685capabilities with
2686.Xr pppd 8
2687- a
2688.Em PPP
2689implementation available under many operating systems.
2690.Nm pppd
2691(version 2.3.1) incorrectly attempts to negotiate
2692.Ar deflate
2693compression using type
2694.Em 24
2695as the CCP configuration type rather than type
2696.Em 26
2697as specified in
2698.Pa rfc1979 .
2699Type
2700.Ar 24
2701is actually specified as
2702.Dq PPP Magna-link Variable Resource Compression
2703in
2704.Pa rfc1975 !
2705.Nm
2706is capable of negotiating with
2707.Nm pppd ,
2708but only if
2709.Dq deflate24
2710is
2711.Ar enable Ns No d
2712and
2713.Ar accept Ns No ed .
2714.It deflate24
2715Default: Disabled and Denied.
2716This is a variance of the
2717.Ar deflate
2718option, allowing negotiation with the
2719.Xr pppd 8
2720program.
2721Refer to the
2722.Ar deflate
2723section above for details.
2724It is disabled by default as it violates
2725.Pa rfc1975 .
2726.It dns
2727Default: Disabled and Denied.
2728This option allows DNS negotiation.
2729.Pp
2730If
2731.Dq enable Ns No d,
2732.Nm
2733will request that the peer confirms the entries in
2734.Pa /etc/resolv.conf .
2735If the peer NAKs our request (suggesting new IP numbers),
2736.Pa /etc/resolv.conf
2737is updated and another request is sent to confirm the new entries.
2738.Pp
2739If
2740.Dq accept Ns No ed,
2741.Nm
2742will answer any DNS queries requested by the peer rather than rejecting
2743them.
2744The answer is taken from
2745.Pa /etc/resolv.conf
2746unless the
2747.Dq set dns
2748command is used as an override.
2749.It enddisc
2750Default: Enabled and Accepted.
2751This option allows control over whether we
2752negotiate an endpoint discriminator.
2753We only send our discriminator if
2754.Dq set enddisc
2755is used and
2756.Ar enddisc
2757is enabled.
2758We reject the peers discriminator if
2759.Ar enddisc
2760is denied.
2761.It LANMan|chap80lm
2762Default: Disabled and Accepted.
2763The use of this authentication protocol
2764is discouraged as it partially violates the authentication protocol by
2765implementing two different mechanisms (LANMan & NT) under the guise of
2766a single CHAP type (0x80).
2767.Dq LANMan
2768uses a simple DES encryption mechanism and is the least secure of the
2769CHAP alternatives (although is still more secure than PAP).
2770.Pp
2771Refer to the
2772.Dq MSChap
2773description below for more details.
2774.It lqr
2775Default: Disabled and Accepted.
2776This option decides if Link Quality Requests will be sent or accepted.
2777LQR is a protocol that allows
2778.Nm
2779to determine that the link is down without relying on the modems
2780carrier detect.
2781When LQR is enabled,
2782.Nm
2783sends the
2784.Em QUALPROTO
2785option (see
2786.Dq set lqrperiod
2787below) as part of the LCP request.
2788If the peer agrees, both sides will
2789exchange LQR packets at the agreed frequency, allowing detailed link
2790quality monitoring by enabling LQM logging.
2791If the peer doesn't agree,
2792.Nm
2793will send ECHO LQR requests instead.
2794These packets pass no information of interest, but they
2795.Em MUST
2796be replied to by the peer.
2797.Pp
2798Whether using LQR or ECHO LQR,
2799.Nm
2800will abruptly drop the connection if 5 unacknowledged packets have been
2801sent rather than sending a 6th.
2802A message is logged at the
2803.Em PHASE
2804level, and any appropriate
2805.Dq reconnect
2806values are honoured as if the peer were responsible for dropping the
2807connection.
2808.It mppe
2809Default: Enabled and Accepted.
2810This is Microsoft Point to Point Encryption scheme.
2811MPPE key size can be
281240-, 56- and 128-bits.
2813Refer to
2814.Dq set mppe
2815command.
2816.It MSChapV2|chap81
2817Default: Disabled and Accepted.
2818It is very similar to standard CHAP (type 0x05)
2819except that it issues challenges of a fixed 16 bytes in length and uses a
2820combination of MD4, SHA-1 and DES to encrypt the challenge rather than using the
2821standard MD5 mechanism.
2822.It MSChap|chap80nt
2823Default: Disabled and Accepted.
2824The use of this authentication protocol
2825is discouraged as it partially violates the authentication protocol by
2826implementing two different mechanisms (LANMan & NT) under the guise of
2827a single CHAP type (0x80).
2828It is very similar to standard CHAP (type 0x05)
2829except that it issues challenges of a fixed 8 bytes in length and uses a
2830combination of MD4 and DES to encrypt the challenge rather than using the
2831standard MD5 mechanism.
2832CHAP type 0x80 for LANMan is also supported - see
2833.Dq enable LANMan
2834for details.
2835.Pp
2836Because both
2837.Dq LANMan
2838and
2839.Dq NT
2840use CHAP type 0x80, when acting as authenticator with both
2841.Dq enable Ns No d ,
2842.Nm
2843will rechallenge the peer up to three times if it responds using the wrong
2844one of the two protocols.
2845This gives the peer a chance to attempt using both protocols.
2846.Pp
2847Conversely, when
2848.Nm
2849acts as the authenticatee with both protocols
2850.Dq accept Ns No ed ,
2851the protocols are used alternately in response to challenges.
2852.Pp
2853Note: If only LANMan is enabled,
2854.Xr pppd 8
2855(version 2.3.5) misbehaves when acting as authenticatee.
2856It provides both
2857the NT and the LANMan answers, but also suggests that only the NT answer
2858should be used.
2859.It pap
2860Default: Disabled and Accepted.
2861PAP stands for Password Authentication Protocol.
2862Only one of PAP and CHAP (above) may be negotiated.
2863With PAP, the ID and Password are sent repeatedly to the peer until
2864authentication is acknowledged or the connection is terminated.
2865This is a rather poor security mechanism.
2866It is only performed when the connection is first established.
2867If you want to have your peer authenticate itself, you must
2868.Dq enable pap .
2869in
2870.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf ,
2871and have an entry in
2872.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret
2873for the peer (although see the
2874.Dq passwdauth
2875and
2876.Dq set radius
2877options below).
2878.Pp
2879When using PAP as the client, you need only specify
2880.Dq AuthName
2881and
2882.Dq AuthKey
2883in
2884.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf .
2885PAP is accepted by default.
2886.It pred1
2887Default: Enabled and Accepted.
2888This option decides if Predictor 1
2889compression will be used by the Compression Control Protocol (CCP).
2890.It protocomp
2891Default: Enabled and Accepted.
2892This option is used to negotiate
2893PFC (Protocol Field Compression), a mechanism where the protocol
2894field number is reduced to one octet rather than two.
2895.It shortseq
2896Default: Enabled and Accepted.
2897This option determines if
2898.Nm
2899will request and accept requests for short
2900(12 bit)
2901sequence numbers when negotiating multi-link mode.
2902This is only applicable if our MRRU is set (thus enabling multi-link).
2903.It vjcomp
2904Default: Enabled and Accepted.
2905This option determines if Van Jacobson header compression will be used.
2906.El
2907.Pp
2908The following options are not actually negotiated with the peer.
2909Therefore, accepting or denying them makes no sense.
2910.Bl -tag -width 2n
2911.It filter-decapsulation
2912Default: Disabled.
2913When this option is enabled,
2914.Nm
2915will examine UDP frames to see if they actually contain a
2916.Em PPP
2917frame as their payload.
2918If this is the case, all filters will operate on the payload rather
2919than the actual packet.
2920.Pp
2921This is useful if you want to send PPPoUDP traffic over a
2922.Em PPP
2923link, but want that link to do smart things with the real data rather than
2924the UDP wrapper.
2925.Pp
2926The UDP frame payload must not be compressed in any way, otherwise
2927.Nm
2928will not be able to interpret it.
2929It's therefore recommended that you
2930.Ic disable vj pred1 deflate
2931and
2932.Ic deny vj pred1 deflate
2933in the configuration for the
2934.Nm
2935invocation with the udp link.
2936.It idcheck
2937Default: Enabled.
2938When
2939.Nm
2940exchanges low-level LCP, CCP and IPCP configuration traffic, the
2941.Em Identifier
2942field of any replies is expected to be the same as that of the request.
2943By default,
2944.Nm
2945drops any reply packets that do not contain the expected identifier
2946field, reporting the fact at the respective log level.
2947If
2948.Ar idcheck
2949is disabled,
2950.Nm
2951will ignore the identifier field.
2952.It iface-alias
2953Default: Enabled if
2954.Fl nat
2955is specified.
2956This option simply tells
2957.Nm
2958to add new interface addresses to the interface rather than replacing them.
2959The option can only be enabled if network address translation is enabled
2960.Pq Dq nat enable yes .
2961.Pp
2962With this option enabled,
2963.Nm
2964will pass traffic for old interface addresses through the NAT
2965ifdef({LOCALNAT},{engine,},{engine
2966(see
2967.Xr libalias 3 ) ,})
2968resulting in the ability (in
2969.Fl auto
2970mode) to properly connect the process that caused the PPP link to
2971come up in the first place.
2972.Pp
2973Disabling NAT with
2974.Dq nat enable no
2975will also disable
2976.Sq iface-alias .
2977.It ipcp
2978Default: Enabled.
2979This option allows
2980.Nm
2981to attempt to negotiate IP control protocol capabilities and if
2982successful to exchange IP datagrams with the peer.
2983.It ipv6cp
2984Default: Enabled.
2985This option allows
2986.Nm
2987to attempt to negotiate IPv6 control protocol capabilities and if
2988successful to exchange IPv6 datagrams with the peer.
2989.It keep-session
2990Default: Disabled.
2991When
2992.Nm
2993runs as a Multi-link server, a different
2994.Nm
2995instance initially receives each connection.
2996After determining that
2997the link belongs to an already existing bundle (controlled by another
2998.Nm
2999invocation),
3000.Nm
3001will transfer the link to that process.
3002.Pp
3003If the link is a tty device or if this option is enabled,
3004.Nm
3005will not exit, but will change its process name to
3006.Dq session owner
3007and wait for the controlling
3008.Nm
3009to finish with the link and deliver a signal back to the idle process.
3010This prevents the confusion that results from
3011.Nm Ns No 's
3012parent considering the link resource available again.
3013.Pp
3014For tty devices that have entries in
3015.Pa /etc/ttys ,
3016this is necessary to prevent another
3017.Xr getty 8
3018from being started, and for program links such as
3019.Xr sshd 8 ,
3020it prevents
3021.Xr sshd 8
3022from exiting due to the death of its child.
3023As
3024.Nm
3025cannot determine its parents requirements (except for the tty case), this
3026option must be enabled manually depending on the circumstances.
3027.It loopback
3028Default: Enabled.
3029When
3030.Ar loopback
3031is enabled,
3032.Nm
3033will automatically loop back packets being sent
3034out with a destination address equal to that of the
3035.Em PPP
3036interface.
3037If disabled,
3038.Nm
3039will send the packet, probably resulting in an ICMP redirect from
3040the other end.
3041It is convenient to have this option enabled when
3042the interface is also the default route as it avoids the necessity
3043of a loopback route.
3044.It passwdauth
3045Default: Disabled.
3046Enabling this option will tell the PAP authentication
3047code to use the password database (see
3048.Xr passwd 5 )
3049to authenticate the caller if they cannot be found in the
3050.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret
3051file.
3052.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret
3053is always checked first.
3054If you wish to use passwords from
3055.Xr passwd 5 ,
3056but also to specify an IP number or label for a given client, use
3057.Dq \&*
3058as the client password in
3059.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret .
3060.It proxy
3061Default: Disabled.
3062Enabling this option will tell
3063.Nm
3064to proxy ARP for the peer.
3065This means that
3066.Nm
3067will make an entry in the ARP table using
3068.Dv HISADDR
3069and the
3070.Dv MAC
3071address of the local network in which
3072.Dv HISADDR
3073appears.
3074This allows other machines connected to the LAN to talk to
3075the peer as if the peer itself was connected to the LAN.
3076The proxy entry cannot be made unless
3077.Dv HISADDR
3078is an address from a LAN.
3079.It proxyall
3080Default: Disabled.
3081Enabling this will tell
3082.Nm
3083to add proxy arp entries for every IP address in all class C or
3084smaller subnets routed via the tun interface.
3085.Pp
3086Proxy arp entries are only made for sticky routes that are added
3087using the
3088.Dq add
3089command.
3090No proxy arp entries are made for the interface address itself
3091(as created by the
3092.Dq set ifaddr
3093command).
3094.It sroutes
3095Default: Enabled.
3096When the
3097.Dq add
3098command is used with the
3099.Dv HISADDR ,
3100.Dv MYADDR ,
3101.Dv HISADDR6
3102or
3103.Dv MYADDR6
3104values, entries are stored in the
3105.Sq sticky route
3106list.
3107Each time these variables change, this list is re-applied to the routing table.
3108.Pp
3109Disabling this option will prevent the re-application of sticky routes,
3110although the
3111.Sq stick route
3112list will still be maintained.

3232It is possible to allow user-level access,
3233depending on the configuration file label and on the mode that
3234.Nm

3262.Dq allow users
3263commands are cumulative in a given section, but users allowed in any given

3310NAT is done on the external interface only, and is unlikely to make sense
3311if used with the

3440This is done dynamically by installing temporary firewall rules which
3441allow a particular connection (and only that connection) to go through
3442the firewall.
3443The rules are removed once the corresponding connection terminates.

3455.It nat same_ports yes|no
3456When enabled, this command will tell the network address translation engine to
3457attempt to avoid changing the port number on outgoing packets.
3458This is useful

3460connections to come from a well known port.
3461.It nat target Op Ar address

3465to specify how to NAT incoming packets by default.
3466If a target address is not set or if

3740.Bl -tag -width 2n
3741.It iface add Ns Xo
3742.Op !\&
3743.Ar addr Ns Op / Ns Ar bits
3744.Op Ar peer
3745.Xc
3746.It iface add Ns Xo
3747.Op !\&
3748.Ar addr
3749.Ar mask
3750.Ar peer
3751.Xc
3752Add the given
3753.Ar addr mask peer
3754combination to the interface.
3755Instead of specifying
3756.Ar mask ,
3757.Ar /bits
3758can be used
3759(with no space between it and
3760.Ar addr ) .
3761If the given address already exists, the command fails unless the
3762.Dq !\&
3763is used - in which case the previous interface address entry is overwritten
3764with the new one, allowing a change of netmask or peer address.
3765.Pp
3766If only
3767.Ar addr
3768is specified,
3769.Ar bits
3770defaults to
3771.Dq 32
3772and
3773.Ar peer
3774defaults to
3775.Dq 255.255.255.255 .
3776This address (the broadcast address) is the only duplicate peer address that
3777.Nm
3778allows.
3779.It iface clear Op INET | INET6
3780If this command is used while
3781.Nm
3782is in the OPENED state or while in
3783.Fl auto
3784mode, all addresses except for the NCP negotiated address are deleted
3785from the interface.
3786If
3787.Nm
3788is not in the OPENED state and is not in
3789.Fl auto
3790mode, all interface addresses are deleted.
3791.Pp
3792If the INET or INET6 arguments are used, only addresses for that address
3793family are cleared.
3794.Pp
3795.It iface delete Ns Xo
3796.Op !\& Ns
3797.No |rm Ns Op !\&
3798.Ar addr
3799.Xc
3800This command deletes the given
3801.Ar addr
3802from the interface.
3803If the
3804.Dq !\&
3805is used, no error is given if the address isn't currently assigned to
3806the interface (and no deletion takes place).
3807.It iface show
3808Shows the current state and current addresses for the interface.
3809It is much the same as running
3810.Dq ifconfig INTERFACE .
3811.It iface help Op Ar sub-command
3812This command, when invoked without
3813.Ar sub-command ,
3814will show a list of possible
3815.Dq iface
3816sub-commands and a brief synopsis for each.
3817When invoked with
3818.Ar sub-command ,
3819only the synopsis for the given sub-command is shown.
3820.El
3821.It Op data Ns Xo
3822.No link
3823.Ar name Ns Op , Ns Ar name Ns
3824.No ... Ar command Op Ar args
3825.Xc
3826This command may prefix any other command if the user wishes to
3827specify which link the command should affect.
3828This is only applicable after multiple links have been created in Multi-link
3829mode using the
3830.Dq clone
3831command.
3832.Pp
3833.Ar Name
3834specifies the name of an existing link.
3835If
3836.Ar name
3837is a comma separated list,
3838.Ar command
3839is executed on each link.
3840If
3841.Ar name
3842is
3843.Dq * ,
3844.Ar command
3845is executed on all links.
3846.It load Op Ar label Ns Xo
3847.No ...
3848.Xc
3849Load the given
3850.Ar label Ns No (s)
3851from the
3852.Pa ppp.conf
3853file.
3854If
3855.Ar label
3856is not given, the
3857.Ar default
3858label is used.
3859.Pp
3860Unless the
3861.Ar label
3862section uses the
3863.Dq set mode ,
3864.Dq open
3865or
3866.Dq dial
3867commands,
3868.Nm
3869will not attempt to make an immediate connection.
3870.It log Ar word Ns No ...
3871Send the given word(s) to the log file with the prefix
3872.Dq LOG: .
3873Word substitutions are done as explained under the
3874.Dq !bg
3875command above.
3876.It open Op lcp|ccp|ipcp
3877This is the opposite of the
3878.Dq close
3879command.
3880All closed links are immediately brought up apart from second and subsequent
3881.Ar demand-dial
3882links - these will come up based on the
3883.Dq set autoload
3884command that has been used.
3885.Pp
3886If the
3887.Dq lcp
3888argument is used while the LCP layer is already open, LCP will be
3889renegotiated.
3890This allows various LCP options to be changed, after which
3891.Dq open lcp
3892can be used to put them into effect.
3893After renegotiating LCP,
3894any agreed authentication will also take place.
3895.Pp
3896If the
3897.Dq ccp
3898argument is used, the relevant compression layer is opened.
3899Again, if it is already open, it will be renegotiated.
3900.Pp
3901If the
3902.Dq ipcp
3903argument is used, the link will be brought up as normal, but if
3904IPCP is already open, it will be renegotiated and the network
3905interface will be reconfigured.
3906.Pp
3907It is probably not good practice to re-open the PPP state machines
3908like this as it's possible that the peer will not behave correctly.
3909It
3910.Em is
3911however useful as a way of forcing the CCP or VJ dictionaries to be reset.
3912.It passwd Ar pass
3913Specify the password required for access to the full
3914.Nm
3915command set.
3916This password is required when connecting to the diagnostic port (see the
3917.Dq set server
3918command).
3919.Ar Pass
3920is specified on the
3921.Dq set server
3922command line.
3923The value of
3924.Ar pass
3925is not logged when
3926.Ar command
3927logging is active, instead, the literal string
3928.Sq ********
3929is logged.
3930.It quit|bye Op all
3931If
3932.Dq quit
3933is executed from the controlling connection or from a command file,
3934ppp will exit after closing all connections.
3935Otherwise, if the user
3936is connected to a diagnostic socket, the connection is simply dropped.
3937.Pp
3938If the
3939.Ar all
3940argument is given,
3941.Nm
3942will exit despite the source of the command after closing all existing
3943connections.
3944.It remove|rm
3945This command removes the given link.
3946It is only really useful in multi-link mode.
3947A link must be in the
3948.Dv CLOSED
3949state before it is removed.
3950.It rename|mv Ar name
3951This command renames the given link to
3952.Ar name .
3953It will fail if
3954.Ar name
3955is already used by another link.
3956.Pp
3957The default link name is
3958.Sq deflink .
3959Renaming it to
3960.Sq modem ,
3961.Sq cuaa0
3962or
3963.Sq USR
3964may make the log file more readable.
3965.It resolv Ar command
3966This command controls
3967.Nm Ns No 's
3968manipulation of the
3969.Xr resolv.conf 5
3970file.
3971When
3972.Nm
3973starts up, it loads the contents of this file into memory and retains this
3974image for future use.
3975.Ar command
3976is one of the following:
3977.Bl -tag -width readonly
3978.It Em readonly
3979Treat
3980.Pa /etc/resolv.conf
3981as read only.
3982If
3983.Dq dns
3984is enabled,
3985.Nm
3986will still attempt to negotiate nameservers with the peer, making the results
3987available via the
3988.Dv DNS0
3989and
3990.Dv DNS1
3991macros.
3992This is the opposite of the
3993.Dq resolv writable
3994command.
3995.It Em reload
3996Reload
3997.Pa /etc/resolv.conf
3998into memory.
3999This may be necessary if for example a DHCP client overwrote
4000.Pa /etc/resolv.conf .
4001.It Em restore
4002Replace
4003.Pa /etc/resolv.conf
4004with the version originally read at startup or with the last
4005.Dq resolv reload
4006command.
4007This is sometimes a useful command to put in the
4008.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.linkdown
4009file.
4010.It Em rewrite
4011Rewrite the
4012.Pa /etc/resolv.conf
4013file.
4014This command will work even if the
4015.Dq resolv readonly
4016command has been used.
4017It may be useful as a command in the
4018.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
4019file if you wish to defer updating
4020.Pa /etc/resolv.conf
4021until after other commands have finished.
4022.It Em writable
4023Allow
4024.Nm
4025to update
4026.Pa /etc/resolv.conf
4027if
4028.Dq dns
4029is enabled and
4030.Nm
4031successfully negotiates a DNS.
4032This is the opposite of the
4033.Dq resolv readonly
4034command.
4035.El
4036.It save
4037This option is not (yet) implemented.
4038.It sendident
4039This command tells
4040.Nm
4041to identify itself to the peer.
4042The link must be in LCP state or higher.
4043If no identity has been set (via the
4044.Ic ident
4045command),
4046.Ic sendident
4047will fail.
4048.Pp
4049When an identity has been set,
4050.Nm
4051will automatically identify itself when it sends or receives a configure
4052reject, when negotiation fails or when LCP reaches the opened state.
4053.Pp
4054Received identification packets are logged to the LCP log (see
4055.Ic set log
4056for details) and are never responded to.
4057.It set Ns Xo
4058.Op up
4059.Ar var value
4060.Xc
4061This option allows the setting of any of the following variables:
4062.Bl -tag -width 2n
4063.It set accmap Ar hex-value
4064ACCMap stands for Asynchronous Control Character Map.
4065This is always
4066negotiated with the peer, and defaults to a value of 00000000 in hex.
4067This protocol is required to defeat hardware that depends on passing
4068certain characters from end to end (such as XON/XOFF etc).
4069.Pp
4070For the XON/XOFF scenario, use
4071.Dq set accmap 000a0000 .
4072.It set Op auth Ns Xo
4073.No key Ar value
4074.Xc
4075This sets the authentication key (or password) used in client mode
4076PAP or CHAP negotiation to the given value.
4077It also specifies the
4078password to be used in the dial or login scripts in place of the
4079.Sq \eP
4080sequence, preventing the actual password from being logged.
4081If
4082.Ar command
4083or
4084.Ar chat
4085logging is in effect,
4086.Ar value
4087is logged as
4088.Sq ********
4089for security reasons.
4090.Pp
4091If the first character of
4092.Ar value
4093is an exclamation mark
4094.Pq Dq !\& ,
4095.Nm
4096treats the remainder of the string as a program that must be executed
4097to determine the
4098.Dq authname
4099and
4100.Dq authkey
4101values.
4102.Pp
4103If the
4104.Dq !\&
4105is doubled up
4106(to
4107.Dq !! ) ,
4108it is treated as a single literal
4109.Dq !\& ,
4110otherwise, ignoring the
4111.Dq !\& ,
4112.Ar value
4113is parsed as a program to execute in the same was as the
4114.Dq !bg
4115command above, substituting special names in the same manner.
4116Once executed,
4117.Nm
4118will feed the program three lines of input, each terminated by a newline
4119character:
4120.Bl -bullet
4121.It
4122The host name as sent in the CHAP challenge.
4123.It
4124The challenge string as sent in the CHAP challenge.
4125.It
4126The locally defined
4127.Dq authname .
4128.El
4129.Pp
4130Two lines of output are expected:
4131.Bl -bullet
4132.It
4133The
4134.Dq authname
4135to be sent with the CHAP response.
4136.It
4137The
4138.Dq authkey ,
4139which is encrypted with the challenge and request id, the answer being sent
4140in the CHAP response packet.
4141.El
4142.Pp
4143When configuring
4144.Nm
4145in this manner, it's expected that the host challenge is a series of ASCII
4146digits or characters.
4147An encryption device or Secure ID card is usually
4148required to calculate the secret appropriate for the given challenge.
4149.It set authname Ar id
4150This sets the authentication id used in client mode PAP or CHAP negotiation.
4151.Pp
4152If used in
4153.Fl direct
4154mode with CHAP enabled,
4155.Ar id
4156is used in the initial authentication challenge and should normally be set to
4157the local machine name.
4158.It set autoload Xo
4159.Ar min-percent max-percent period
4160.Xc
4161These settings apply only in multi-link mode and default to zero, zero and
4162five respectively.
4163When more than one
4164.Ar demand-dial
4165(also known as
4166.Fl auto )
4167mode link is available, only the first link is made active when
4168.Nm
4169first reads data from the tun device.
4170The next
4171.Ar demand-dial
4172link will be opened only when the current bundle throughput is at least
4173.Ar max-percent
4174percent of the total bundle bandwidth for
4175.Ar period
4176seconds.
4177When the current bundle throughput decreases to
4178.Ar min-percent
4179percent or less of the total bundle bandwidth for
4180.Ar period
4181seconds, a
4182.Ar demand-dial
4183link will be brought down as long as it's not the last active link.
4184.Pp
4185Bundle throughput is measured as the maximum of inbound and outbound
4186traffic.
4187.Pp
4188The default values cause
4189.Ar demand-dial
4190links to simply come up one at a time.
4191.Pp
4192Certain devices cannot determine their physical bandwidth, so it
4193is sometimes necessary to use the
4194.Dq set bandwidth
4195command (described below) to make
4196.Dq set autoload
4197work correctly.
4198.It set bandwidth Ar value
4199This command sets the connection bandwidth in bits per second.
4200.Ar value
4201must be greater than zero.
4202It is currently only used by the
4203.Dq set autoload
4204command above.
4205.It set callback Ar option Ns No ...
4206If no arguments are given, callback is disabled, otherwise,
4207.Nm
4208will request (or in
4209.Fl direct
4210mode, will accept) one of the given
4211.Ar option Ns No s .
4212In client mode, if an
4213.Ar option
4214is NAK'd
4215.Nm
4216will request a different
4217.Ar option ,
4218until no options remain at which point
4219.Nm
4220will terminate negotiations (unless
4221.Dq none
4222is one of the specified
4223.Ar option ) .
4224In server mode,
4225.Nm
4226will accept any of the given protocols - but the client
4227.Em must
4228request one of them.
4229If you wish callback to be optional, you must {include}
4230.Ar none
4231as an option.
4232.Pp
4233The
4234.Ar option Ns No s
4235are as follows (in this order of preference):
4236.Bl -tag -width Ds
4237.It auth
4238The callee is expected to decide the callback number based on
4239authentication.
4240If
4241.Nm
4242is the callee, the number should be specified as the fifth field of
4243the peers entry in
4244.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret .
4245.It cbcp
4246Microsoft's callback control protocol is used.
4247See
4248.Dq set cbcp
4249below.
4250.Pp
4251If you wish to negotiate
4252.Ar cbcp
4253in client mode but also wish to allow the server to request no callback at
4254CBCP negotiation time, you must specify both
4255.Ar cbcp
4256and
4257.Ar none
4258as callback options.
4259.It E.164 *| Ns Xo
4260.Ar number Ns Op , Ns Ar number Ns

4262.Xc
4263The caller specifies the
4264.Ar number .
4265If
4266.Nm
4267is the callee,
4268.Ar number
4269should be either a comma separated list of allowable numbers or a
4270.Dq \&* ,
4271meaning any number is permitted.
4272If
4273.Nm
4274is the caller, only a single number should be specified.
4275.Pp
4276Note, this option is very unsafe when used with a
4277.Dq \&*
4278as a malicious caller can tell
4279.Nm
4280to call any (possibly international) number without first authenticating
4281themselves.
4282.It none
4283If the peer does not wish to do callback at all,
4284.Nm
4285will accept the fact and continue without callback rather than terminating
4286the connection.
4287This is required (in addition to one or more other callback
4288options) if you wish callback to be optional.

4296If no arguments are given, CBCP (Microsoft's CallBack Control Protocol)
4297is disabled - ie, configuring CBCP in the
4298.Dq set callback
4299command will result in
4300.Nm
4301requesting no callback in the CBCP phase.

4313.Pp
4314In client mode,
4315.Nm
4316will attempt to use one of the given numbers (whichever it finds to
4317be agreeable with the peer), or if
4318.Dq \&*

4327checks for the existence of carrier depending on the type of device
4328that has been opened:
4329.Bl -tag -width XXX -offset XXX
4330.It Terminal Devices
4331Carrier is checked one second after the login script is complete.
4332If it's not set,
4333.Nm
4334assumes that this is because the device doesn't support carrier (which
4335is true for most
4336.Dq laplink
4337NULL-modem cables), logs the fact and stops checking
4338for carrier.
4339.Pp
4340As ptys don't support the
4341.Dv TIOCMGET
4342ioctl, the tty device will switch all
4343carrier detection off when it detects that the device is a pty.
4344.It ISDN (i4b) Devices
4345Carrier is checked once per second for 6 seconds.
4346If it's not set after
4347the sixth second, the connection attempt is considered to have failed and
4348the device is closed.
4349Carrier is always required for i4b devices.
4350.It PPPoE (netgraph) Devices
4351Carrier is checked once per second for 5 seconds.
4352If it's not set after
4353the fifth second, the connection attempt is considered to have failed and
4354the device is closed.
4355Carrier is always required for PPPoE devices.
4356.El
4357.Pp
4358All other device types don't support carrier.
4359Setting a carrier value will
4360result in a warning when the device is opened.
4361.Pp
4362Some modems take more than one second after connecting to assert the carrier
4363signal.
4364If this delay isn't increased, this will result in
4365.Nm Ns No 's
4366inability to detect when the link is dropped, as
4367.Nm
4368assumes that the device isn't asserting carrier.
4369.Pp
4370The

4372command overrides the default carrier behaviour.
4373.Ar seconds
4374specifies the maximum number of seconds that
4375.Nm
4376should wait after the dial script has finished before deciding if
4377carrier is available or not.

4383will not check for carrier on the device, otherwise
4384.Nm
4385will not proceed to the login script until either carrier is detected
4386or until
4387.Ar seconds
4388has elapsed, at which point
4389.Nm
4390assumes that the device will not set carrier.
4391.Pp
4392If no arguments are given, carrier settings will go back to their default
4393values.
4394.Pp
4395If
4396.Ar seconds
4397is followed immediately by an exclamation mark
4398.Pq Dq !\& ,
4399.Nm
4400will
4401.Em require
4402carrier.
4403If carrier is not detected after
4404.Ar seconds
4405seconds, the link will be disconnected.
4406.It set choked Op Ar timeout
4407This sets the number of seconds that
4408.Nm
4409will keep a choked output queue before dropping all pending output packets.
4410If
4411.Ar timeout
4412is less than or equal to zero or if
4413.Ar timeout
4414isn't specified, it is set to the default value of
4415.Em 120 seconds .
4416.Pp
4417A choked output queue occurs when
4418.Nm
4419has read a certain number of packets from the local network for transmission,
4420but cannot send the data due to link failure (the peer is busy etc.).
4421.Nm
4422will not read packets indefinitely.
4423Instead, it reads up to
4424.Em 30
4425packets (or
4426.Em 30 No +
4427.Em nlinks No *
4428.Em 2
4429packets in multi-link mode), then stops reading the network interface
4430until either
4431.Ar timeout
4432seconds have passed or at least one packet has been sent.
4433.Pp
4434If
4435.Ar timeout
4436seconds pass, all pending output packets are dropped.
4437.It set ctsrts|crtscts on|off
4438This sets hardware flow control.
4439Hardware flow control is
4440.Ar on
4441by default.
4442.It set deflate Ar out-winsize Op Ar in-winsize
4443This sets the DEFLATE algorithms default outgoing and incoming window
4444sizes.
4445Both
4446.Ar out-winsize
4447and
4448.Ar in-winsize
4449must be values between
4450.Em 8
4451and
4452.Em 15 .
4453If
4454.Ar in-winsize
4455is specified,
4456.Nm
4457will insist that this window size is used and will not accept any other
4458values from the peer.
4459.It set dns Op Ar primary Op Ar secondary
4460This command specifies DNS overrides for the
4461.Dq accept dns
4462command.
4463Refer to the
4464.Dq accept
4465command description above for details.
4466This command does not affect the IP numbers requested using
4467.Dq enable dns .
4468.It set device|line Xo
4469.Ar value Ns No ...
4470.Xc
4471This sets the device(s) to which
4472.Nm
4473will talk to the given
4474.Dq value .
4475.Pp
4476All ISDN and serial device names are expected to begin with
4477.Pa /dev/ .
4478ISDN devices are usually called
4479.Pa i4brbchX
4480and serial devices are usually called
4481.Pa cuaXX .
4482.Pp
4483If
4484.Dq value
4485does not begin with
4486.Pa /dev/ ,
4487it must either begin with an exclamation mark
4488.Pq Dq !\& ,
4489be of the format
4490.No PPPoE: Ns Ar iface Ns Xo
4491.Op \&: Ns Ar provider Ns
4492.Xc
4493(on
4494.Xr netgraph 4
4495enabled systems), or be of the format
4496.Sm off
4497.Ar host : port Op /tcp|udp .
4498.Sm on
4499.Pp
4500If it begins with an exclamation mark, the rest of the device name is
4501treated as a program name, and that program is executed when the device
4502is opened.
4503Standard input, output and error are fed back to
4504.Nm
4505and are read and written as if they were a regular device.
4506.Pp
4507If a
4508.No PPPoE: Ns Ar iface Ns Xo
4509.Op \&: Ns Ar provider Ns
4510.Xc
4511specification is given,
4512.Nm
4513will attempt to create a
4514.Em PPP
4515over Ethernet connection using the given
4516.Ar iface
4517interface by using
4518.Xr netgraph 4 .
4519If
4520.Xr netgraph 4
4521is not available,
4522.Nm
4523will attempt to load it using
4524.Xr kldload 2 .
4525If this fails, an external program must be used such as the
4526.Xr pppoe 8
4527program available under
4528.Ox .
4529The given
4530.Ar provider
4531is passed as the service name in the PPPoE Discovery Initiation (PADI)
4532packet.
4533If no provider is given, an empty value will be used.
4534.Pp
4535When a PPPoE connection is established,
4536.Nm
4537will place the name of the Access Concentrator in the environment variable
4538.Ev ACNAME .
4539.Pp
4540Refer to
4541.Xr netgraph 4
4542and
4543.Xr ng_pppoe 4

4545.Pp
4546If a
4547.Ar host Ns No : Ns Ar port Ns Oo
4548.No /tcp|udp
4549.Oc
4550specification is given,
4551.Nm
4552will attempt to connect to the given
4553.Ar host
4554on the given
4555.Ar port .
4556If a
4557.Dq /tcp
4558or
4559.Dq /udp
4560suffix is not provided, the default is
4561.Dq /tcp .
4562Refer to the section on
4563.Em PPP OVER TCP and UDP
4564above for further details.
4565.Pp
4566If multiple
4567.Dq values
4568are specified,
4569.Nm
4570will attempt to open each one in turn until it succeeds or runs out of
4571devices.
4572.It set dial Ar chat-script
4573This specifies the chat script that will be used to dial the other
4574side.
4575See also the
4576.Dq set login
4577command below.
4578Refer to
4579.Xr chat 8
4580and to the example configuration files for details of the chat script
4581format.
4582It is possible to specify some special
4583.Sq values
4584in your chat script as follows:
4585.Bl -tag -width 2n
4586.It Li \ec
4587When used as the last character in a
4588.Sq send
4589string, this indicates that a newline should not be appended.
4590.It Li \ed
4591When the chat script encounters this sequence, it delays two seconds.
4592.It Li \ep
4593When the chat script encounters this sequence, it delays for one quarter of
4594a second.
4595.It Li \en
4596This is replaced with a newline character.
4597.It Li \er
4598This is replaced with a carriage return character.
4599.It Li \es
4600This is replaced with a space character.
4601.It Li \et
4602This is replaced with a tab character.
4603.It Li \eT
4604This is replaced by the current phone number (see
4605.Dq set phone
4606below).
4607.It Li \eP
4608This is replaced by the current
4609.Ar authkey
4610value (see
4611.Dq set authkey
4612above).
4613.It Li \eU
4614This is replaced by the current
4615.Ar authname
4616value (see
4617.Dq set authname
4618above).
4619.El
4620.Pp
4621Note that two parsers will examine these escape sequences, so in order to
4622have the
4623.Sq chat parser
4624see the escape character, it is necessary to escape it from the
4625.Sq command parser .
4626This means that in practice you should use two escapes, for example:
4627.Bd -literal -offset indent
4628set dial "... ATDT\\\\T CONNECT"
4629.Ed
4630.Pp
4631It is also possible to execute external commands from the chat script.
4632To do this, the first character of the expect or send string is an
4633exclamation mark
4634.Pq Dq !\& .
4635If a literal exclamation mark is required, double it up to
4636.Dq !!\&
4637and it will be treated as a single literal
4638.Dq !\& .
4639When the command is executed, standard input and standard output are
4640directed to the open device (see the
4641.Dq set device
4642command), and standard error is read by
4643.Nm
4644and substituted as the expect or send string.
4645If
4646.Nm
4647is running in interactive mode, file descriptor 3 is attached to
4648.Pa /dev/tty .
4649.Pp
4650For example (wrapped for readability):
4651.Bd -literal -offset indent
4652set login "TIMEOUT 5 \\"\\" \\"\\" login:--login: ppp \e
4653word: ppp \\"!sh \\\\-c \\\\\\"echo \\\\-n label: >&2\\\\\\"\\" \e
4654\\"!/bin/echo in\\" HELLO"
4655.Ed
4656.Pp
4657would result in the following chat sequence (output using the
4658.Sq set log local chat
4659command before dialing):
4660.Bd -literal -offset indent
4661Dial attempt 1 of 1
4662dial OK!
4663Chat: Expecting:
4664Chat: Sending:
4665Chat: Expecting: login:--login:
4666Chat: Wait for (5): login:
4667Chat: Sending: ppp
4668Chat: Expecting: word:
4669Chat: Wait for (5): word:
4670Chat: Sending: ppp
4671Chat: Expecting: !sh \\-c "echo \\-n label: >&2"
4672Chat: Exec: sh -c "echo -n label: >&2"
4673Chat: Wait for (5): !sh \\-c "echo \\-n label: >&2" --> label:
4674Chat: Exec: /bin/echo in
4675Chat: Sending:
4676Chat: Expecting: HELLO
4677Chat: Wait for (5): HELLO
4678login OK!
4679.Ed
4680.Pp
4681Note (again) the use of the escape character, allowing many levels of
4682nesting.
4683Here, there are four parsers at work.
4684The first parses the original line, reading it as three arguments.
4685The second parses the third argument, reading it as 11 arguments.
4686At this point, it is
4687important that the
4688.Dq \&-
4689signs are escaped, otherwise this parser will see them as constituting
4690an expect-send-expect sequence.
4691When the
4692.Dq !\&
4693character is seen, the execution parser reads the first command as three
4694arguments, and then
4695.Xr sh 1
4696itself expands the argument after the
4697.Fl c .
4698As we wish to send the output back to the modem, in the first example
4699we redirect our output to file descriptor 2 (stderr) so that
4700.Nm
4701itself sends and logs it, and in the second example, we just output to stdout,
4702which is attached directly to the modem.
4703.Pp
4704This, of course means that it is possible to execute an entirely external
4705.Dq chat
4706command rather than using the internal one.
4707See
4708.Xr chat 8
4709for a good alternative.
4710.Pp
4711The external command that is executed is subjected to the same special
4712word expansions as the
4713.Dq !bg
4714command.
4715.It set enddisc Op label|IP|MAC|magic|psn value
4716This command sets our local endpoint discriminator.
4717If set prior to LCP negotiation, and if no
4718.Dq disable enddisc
4719command has been used,
4720.Nm
4721will send the information to the peer using the LCP endpoint discriminator
4722option.
4723The following discriminators may be set:
4724.Bl -tag -width indent
4725.It Li label
4726The current label is used.
4727.It Li IP
4728Our local IP number is used.
4729As LCP is negotiated prior to IPCP, it is
4730possible that the IPCP layer will subsequently change this value.
4731If
4732it does, the endpoint discriminator stays at the old value unless manually
4733reset.
4734.It Li MAC
4735This is similar to the
4736.Ar IP
4737option above, except that the MAC address associated with the local IP
4738number is used.
4739If the local IP number is not resident on any Ethernet
4740interface, the command will fail.
4741.Pp
4742As the local IP number defaults to whatever the machine host name is,
4743.Dq set enddisc mac
4744is usually done prior to any
4745.Dq set ifaddr
4746commands.
4747.It Li magic
4748A 20 digit random number is used.
4749Care should be taken when using magic numbers as restarting
4750.Nm
4751or creating a link using a different
4752.Nm
4753invocation will also use a different magic number and will therefore not
4754be recognised by the peer as belonging to the same bundle.
4755This makes it unsuitable for
4756.Fl direct
4757connections.
4758.It Li psn Ar value
4759The given
4760.Ar value
4761is used.
4762.Ar Value
4763should be set to an absolute public switched network number with the
4764country code first.
4765.El
4766.Pp
4767If no arguments are given, the endpoint discriminator is reset.
4768.It set escape Ar value...
4769This option is similar to the
4770.Dq set accmap
4771option above.
4772It allows the user to specify a set of characters that will be
4773.Sq escaped
4774as they travel across the link.
4775.It set filter dial|alive|in|out Ar rule-no Xo

4788.Xc
4789.Nm
4790supports four filter sets.
4791The
4792.Em alive
4793filter specifies packets that keep the connection alive - resetting the
4794idle timer.
4795The
4796.Em dial
4797filter specifies packets that cause
4798.Nm
4799to dial when in
4800.Fl auto
4801mode.
4802The
4803.Em in
4804filter specifies packets that are allowed to travel
4805into the machine and the
4806.Em out
4807filter specifies packets that are allowed out of the machine.
4808.Pp
4809Filtering is done prior to any IP alterations that might be done by the
4810NAT engine on outgoing packets and after any IP alterations that might
4811be done by the NAT engine on incoming packets.
4812By default all empty filter sets allow all packets to pass.
4813Rules are processed in order according to
4814.Ar rule-no
4815(unless skipped by specifying a rule number as the
4816.Ar action ) .
4817Up to 40 rules may be given for each set.
4818If a packet doesn't match
4819any of the rules in a given set, it is discarded.
4820In the case of
4821.Em in
4822and
4823.Em out
4824filters, this means that the packet is dropped.
4825In the case of
4826.Em alive
4827filters it means that the packet will not reset the idle timer (even if
4828the
4829.Ar in Ns No / Ns Ar out
4830filter has a
4831.Dq timeout
4832value) and in the case of
4833.Em dial
4834filters it means that the packet will not trigger a dial.
4835A packet failing to trigger a dial will be dropped rather than queued.
4836Refer to the
4837section on
4838.Sx PACKET FILTERING
4839above for further details.
4840.It set hangup Ar chat-script
4841This specifies the chat script that will be used to reset the device
4842before it is closed.
4843It should not normally be necessary, but can
4844be used for devices that fail to reset themselves properly on close.
4845.It set help|? Op Ar command
4846This command gives a summary of available set commands, or if
4847.Ar command
4848is specified, the command usage is shown.
4849.It set ifaddr Oo Ar myaddr Ns
4850.Op / Ns Ar \&nn
4851.Oo Ar hisaddr Ns Op / Ns Ar \&nn
4852.Oo Ar netmask
4853.Op Ar triggeraddr
4854.Oc Oc
4855.Oc
4856This command specifies the IP addresses that will be used during
4857IPCP negotiation.
4858Addresses are specified using the format
4859.Pp
4860.Dl a.b.c.d/nn
4861.Pp
4862Where
4863.Dq a.b.c.d
4864is the preferred IP, but
4865.Ar nn
4866specifies how many bits of the address we will insist on.
4867If
4868.No / Ns Ar nn
4869is omitted, it defaults to
4870.Dq /32
4871unless the IP address is 0.0.0.0 in which case it defaults to
4872.Dq /0 .
4873.Pp
4874If you wish to assign a dynamic IP number to the peer,
4875.Ar hisaddr
4876may also be specified as a range of IP numbers in the format
4877.Bd -ragged -offset indent
4878.Ar \&IP Ns Oo \&- Ns Ar \&IP Ns Xo
4879.Oc Ns Oo , Ns Ar \&IP Ns
4880.Op \&- Ns Ar \&IP Ns
4881.Oc Ns ...
4882.Xc
4883.Ed
4884.Pp
4885for example:
4886.Pp
4887.Dl set ifaddr 10.0.0.1 10.0.1.2-10.0.1.10,10.0.1.20
4888.Pp
4889will only negotiate
4890.Dq 10.0.0.1
4891as the local IP number, but may assign any of the given 10 IP
4892numbers to the peer.
4893If the peer requests one of these numbers,
4894and that number is not already in use,
4895.Nm
4896will grant the peers request.
4897This is useful if the peer wants
4898to re-establish a link using the same IP number as was previously
4899allocated (thus maintaining any existing tcp or udp connections).
4900.Pp
4901If the peer requests an IP number that's either outside
4902of this range or is already in use,
4903.Nm
4904will suggest a random unused IP number from the range.
4905.Pp
4906If
4907.Ar triggeraddr
4908is specified, it is used in place of
4909.Ar myaddr
4910in the initial IPCP negotiation.
4911However, only an address in the
4912.Ar myaddr
4913range will be accepted.
4914This is useful when negotiating with some
4915.Dv PPP
4916implementations that will not assign an IP number unless their peer
4917requests
4918.Dq 0.0.0.0 .
4919.Pp
4920It should be noted that in
4921.Fl auto
4922mode,
4923.Nm
4924will configure the interface immediately upon reading the
4925.Dq set ifaddr
4926line in the config file.
4927In any other mode, these values are just
4928used for IPCP negotiations, and the interface isn't configured
4929until the IPCP layer is up.
4930.Pp
4931Note that the
4932.Ar HISADDR
4933argument may be overridden by the third field in the
4934.Pa ppp.secret
4935file once the client has authenticated itself
4936(if PAP or CHAP are
4937.Dq enabled ) .
4938Refer to the
4939.Sx AUTHENTICATING INCOMING CONNECTIONS
4940section for details.
4941.Pp
4942In all cases, if the interface is already configured,
4943.Nm
4944will try to maintain the interface IP numbers so that any existing
4945bound sockets will remain valid.
4946.It set ifqueue Ar packets
4947Set the maximum number of packets that
4948.Nm
4949will read from the tunnel interface while data cannot be sent to any of
4950the available links.
4951This queue limit is necessary to flow control outgoing data as the tunnel
4952interface is likely to be far faster than the combined links available to
4953.Nm .
4954.Pp
4955If
4956.Ar packets
4957is set to a value less than the number of links,
4958.Nm
4959will read up to that value regardless.
4960This prevents any possible latency problems.
4961.Pp
4962The default value for
4963.Ar packets
4964is
4965.Dq 30 .

4986will wait before resending Finite State Machine (FSM) Request packets.
4987The default
4988.Ar timeout
4989for all FSMs is 3 seconds (which should suffice in most cases).

4995how many configuration request attempts it should make while receiving
4996no reply from the peer before giving up.
4997The default is 5 attempts for
4998CCP, LCP and IPCP and 3 attempts for PAP and CHAP.
4999.Pp
5000If
5001.Ar trmtries
5002is specified, it tells
5003.Nm
5004how many terminate requests should be sent before giving up waiting for the
5005peers response.
5006The default is 3 attempts.
5007Authentication protocols are
5008not terminated and it is therefore invalid to specify
5009.Ar trmtries
5010for PAP or CHAP.
5011.Pp
5012In order to avoid negotiations with the peer that will never converge,
5013.Nm
5014will only send at most 3 times the configured number of
5015.Ar reqtries
5016in any given negotiation session before giving up and closing that layer.
5017.It set log Xo
5018.Op local
5019.Op +|- Ns
5020.Ar value Ns No ...
5021.Xc
5022This command allows the adjustment of the current log level.
5023Refer to the Logging Facility section for further details.
5024.It set login Ar chat-script
5025This
5026.Ar chat-script
5027compliments the dial-script.
5028If both are specified, the login
5029script will be executed after the dial script.
5030Escape sequences available in the dial script are also available here.
5031.It set logout Ar chat-script
5032This specifies the chat script that will be used to logout
5033before the hangup script is called.
5034It should not normally be necessary.
5035.It set lqrperiod Ar frequency
5036This command sets the
5037.Ar frequency
5038in seconds at which
5039.Em LQR
5040or
5041.Em ECHO LQR
5042packets are sent.
5043The default is 30 seconds.
5044You must also use the
5045.Dq enable lqr
5046command if you wish to send LQR requests to the peer.
5047.It set mode Ar interactive|auto|ddial|background
5048This command allows you to change the
5049.Sq mode
5050of the specified link.
5051This is normally only useful in multi-link mode,
5052but may also be used in uni-link mode.
5053.Pp
5054It is not possible to change a link that is
5055.Sq direct
5056or
5057.Sq dedicated .
5058.Pp
5059Note: If you issue the command
5060.Dq set mode auto ,
5061and have network address translation enabled, it may be useful to
5062.Dq enable iface-alias
5063afterwards.
5064This will allow
5065.Nm
5066to do the necessary address translations to enable the process that
5067triggers the connection to connect once the link is up despite the
5068peer assigning us a new (dynamic) IP address.
5069.It set mppe Op 40|56|128|* Op stateless|stateful|*
5070This option selects the encryption parameters used when negotiation
5071MPPE.
5072MPPE can be disabled entirely with the
5073.Dq disable mppe
5074command.
5075If no arguments are given,
5076.Nm
5077will attempt to negotiate a stateful link with a 128 bit key, but
5078will agree to whatever the peer requests (including no encryption
5079at all).
5080.Pp
5081If any arguments are given,
5082.Nm
5083will
5084.Em insist
5085on using MPPE and will close the link if it's rejected by the peer (Note;
5086this behaviour can be overridden by a configured RADIUS server).
5087.Pp
5088The first argument specifies the number of bits that
5089.Nm
5090should insist on during negotiations and the second specifies whether
5091.Nm
5092should insist on stateful or stateless mode.
5093In stateless mode, the
5094encryption dictionary is re-initialised with every packet according to
5095an encryption key that is changed with every packet.
5096In stateful mode,
5097the encryption dictionary is re-initialised every 256 packets or after
5098the loss of any data and the key is changed every 256 packets.
5099Stateless mode is less efficient but is better for unreliable transport
5100layers.
5101.It set mrru Op Ar value
5102Setting this option enables Multi-link PPP negotiations, also known as
5103Multi-link Protocol or MP.
5104There is no default MRRU (Maximum Reconstructed Receive Unit) value.
5105If no argument is given, multi-link mode is disabled.
5106.It set mru Xo
5107.Op max Ns Op imum
5108.Op Ar value
5109.Xc
5110The default MRU (Maximum Receive Unit) is 1500.
5111If it is increased, the other side *may* increase its MTU.
5112In theory there is no point in decreasing the MRU to below the default as the
5113.Em PPP
5114protocol says implementations *must* be able to accept packets of at
5115least 1500 octets.
5116.Pp
5117If the
5118.Dq maximum
5119keyword is used,
5120.Nm
5121will refuse to negotiate a higher value.
5122The maximum MRU can be set to 2048 at most.
5123Setting a maximum of less than 1500 violates the
5124.Em PPP
5125rfc, but may sometimes be necessary.
5126For example,
5127.Em PPPoE
5128imposes a maximum of 1492 due to hardware limitations.
5129.Pp
5130If no argument is given, 1500 is assumed.
5131A value must be given when
5132.Dq maximum
5133is specified.
5134.It set mtu Xo
5135.Op max Ns Op imum
5136.Op Ar value
5137.Xc
5138The default MTU is 1500.
5139At negotiation time,
5140.Nm
5141will accept whatever MRU the peer requests (assuming it's
5142not less than 296 bytes or greater than the assigned maximum).
5143If the MTU is set,
5144.Nm
5145will not accept MRU values less than
5146.Ar value .
5147When negotiations are complete, the MTU is used when writing to the
5148interface, even if the peer requested a higher value MRU.
5149This can be useful for
5150limiting your packet size (giving better bandwidth sharing at the expense
5151of more header data).
5152.Pp
5153If the
5154.Dq maximum
5155keyword is used,
5156.Nm
5157will refuse to negotiate a higher value.
5158The maximum MTU can be set to 2048 at most.
5159.Pp
5160If no
5161.Ar value
5162is given, 1500, or whatever the peer asks for is used.
5163A value must be given when
5164.Dq maximum
5165is specified.
5166.It set nbns Op Ar x.x.x.x Op Ar y.y.y.y
5167This option allows the setting of the Microsoft NetBIOS name server
5168values to be returned at the peers request.
5169If no values are given,
5170.Nm
5171will reject any such requests.
5172.It set openmode active|passive Op Ar delay
5173By default,
5174.Ar openmode
5175is always
5176.Ar active
5177with a one second
5178.Ar delay .
5179That is,
5180.Nm
5181will always initiate LCP/IPCP/CCP negotiation one second after the line
5182comes up.
5183If you want to wait for the peer to initiate negotiations, you
5184can use the value
5185.Ar passive .
5186If you want to initiate negotiations immediately or after more than one
5187second, the appropriate
5188.Ar delay
5189may be specified here in seconds.
5190.It set parity odd|even|none|mark
5191This allows the line parity to be set.
5192The default value is
5193.Ar none .
5194.It set phone Ar telno Ns Xo
5195.Oo \&| Ns Ar backupnumber
5196.Oc Ns ... Ns Oo : Ns Ar nextnumber
5197.Oc Ns ...
5198.Xc
5199This allows the specification of the phone number to be used in
5200place of the \\\\T string in the dial and login chat scripts.
5201Multiple phone numbers may be given separated either by a pipe
5202.Pq Dq \&|
5203or a colon
5204.Pq Dq \&: .
5205.Pp
5206Numbers after the pipe are only dialed if the dial or login
5207script for the previous number failed.
5208.Pp
5209Numbers after the colon are tried sequentially, irrespective of
5210the reason the line was dropped.
5211.Pp
5212If multiple numbers are given,
5213.Nm
5214will dial them according to these rules until a connection is made, retrying
5215the maximum number of times specified by
5216.Dq set redial
5217below.
5218In
5219.Fl background
5220mode, each number is attempted at most once.
5221.It set Op proc Ns Xo

5223.Xc
5224The current process title as displayed by
5225.Xr ps 1
5226is changed according to
5227.Ar value .
5228If
5229.Ar value
5230is not specified, the original process title is restored.
5231All the
5232word replacements done by the shell commands (see the
5233.Dq bg
5234command above) are done here too.
5235.Pp
5236Note, if USER is required in the process title, the
5237.Dq set proctitle
5238command must appear in
5239.Pa ppp.linkup ,
5240as it is not known when the commands in
5241.Pa ppp.conf
5242are executed.
5243.It set radius Op Ar config-file
5244This command enables RADIUS support (if it's compiled in).
5245.Ar config-file
5246refers to the radius client configuration file as described in
5247.Xr radius.conf 5 .
5248If PAP, CHAP, MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 are

5259.Pp
5260If none of PAP, CHAP, MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 are enabled,
5261.Dq set radius
5262will do nothing.
5263.Pp
5264.Nm
5265uses the following attributes from the RADIUS reply:
5266.Bl -tag -width XXX -offset XXX
5267.It RAD_FRAMED_IP_ADDRESS
5268The peer IP address is set to the given value.
5269.It RAD_FRAMED_IP_NETMASK
5270The tun interface netmask is set to the given value.
5271.It RAD_FRAMED_MTU
5272If the given MTU is less than the peers MRU as agreed during LCP
5273negotiation, *and* it is less that any configured MTU (see the
5274.Dq set mru
5275command), the tun interface MTU is set to the given value.
5276.It RAD_FRAMED_COMPRESSION
5277If the received compression type is
5278.Dq 1 ,
5279.Nm
5280will request VJ compression during IPCP negotiations despite any
5281.Dq disable vj
5282configuration command.
5283.It RAD_FILTER_ID
5284If this attribute is supplied,
5285.Nm
5286will attempt to use it as an additional label to load from the
5287.Pa ppp.linkup
5288and
5289.Pa ppp.linkdown
5290files.
5291The load will be attempted before (and in addition to) the normal
5292label search.
5293If the label doesn't exist, no action is taken and
5294.Nm
5295proceeds to the normal load using the current label.
5296.It RAD_FRAMED_ROUTE
5297The received string is expected to be in the format
5298.Ar dest Ns Op / Ns Ar bits

5305are understood as valid values for
5306.Ar dest
5307and
5308.Ar gw ,
5309.Dq default
5310can be used for
5311.Ar dest
5312to specify the default route, and
5313.Dq 0.0.0.0
5314is understood to be the same as
5315.Dq default
5316for
5317.Ar dest
5318and
5319.Dv HISADDR
5320for
5321.Ar gw .
5322.Pp
5323For example, a returned value of
5324.Dq 1.2.3.4/24 0.0.0.0 1 2 -1 3 400
5325would result in a routing table entry to the 1.2.3.0/24 network via
5326.Dv HISADDR
5327and a returned value of
5328.Dq 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
5329or
5330.Dq default HISADDR
5331would result in a default route to
5332.Dv HISADDR .
5333.Pp
5334All RADIUS routes are applied after any sticky routes are applied, making
5335RADIUS routes override configured routes.
5336This also applies for RADIUS routes that don't {include} the
5337.Dv MYADDR
5338or
5339.Dv HISADDR
5340keywords.
5341.Pp
5342.It RAD_SESSION_TIMEOUT
5343If supplied, the client connection is closed after the given number of

5345.It RAD_REPLY_MESSAGE
5346If supplied, this message is passed back to the peer as the authentication
5347SUCCESS text.
5348.It RAD_MICROSOFT_MS_CHAP_ERROR
5349If this
5350.Dv RAD_VENDOR_MICROSOFT
5351vendor specific attribute is supplied, it is passed back to the peer as the

5353.It RAD_MICROSOFT_MS_CHAP2_SUCCESS
5354If this
5355.Dv RAD_VENDOR_MICROSOFT
5356vendor specific attribute is supplied and if MS-CHAPv2 authentication is
5357being used, it is passed back to the peer as the authentication SUCCESS text.
5358.It RAD_MICROSOFT_MS_MPPE_ENCRYPTION_POLICY
5359If this
5360.Dv RAD_VENDOR_MICROSOFT
5361vendor specific attribute is supplied and has a value of 2 (Required),
5362.Nm
5363will insist that MPPE encryption is used (even if no
5364.Dq set mppe
5365configuration command has been given with arguments).
5366If it is supplied with a value of 1 (Allowed), encryption is made optional
5367(despite any
5368.Dq set mppe
5369configuration commands with arguments).
5370.It RAD_MICROSOFT_MS_MPPE_ENCRYPTION_TYPES
5371If this
5372.Dv RAD_VENDOR_MICROSOFT
5373vendor specific attribute is supplied, bits 1 and 2 are examined.
5374If either or both are set, 40 bit and/or 128 bit (respectively) encryption
5375options are set, overriding any given first argument to the
5376.Dq set mppe
5377command.
5378Note, it is not currently possible for the RADIUS server to specify 56 bit
5379encryption.
5380.It RAD_MICROSOFT_MS_MPPE_RECV_KEY
5381If this
5382.Dv RAD_VENDOR_MICROSOFT
5383vendor specific attribute is supplied, it's value is used as the master
5384key for decryption of incoming data.  When clients are authenticated using
5385MSCHAPv2, the RADIUS server MUST provide this attribute if inbound MPPE is
5386to function.
5387.It RAD_MICROSOFT_MS_MPPE_SEND_KEY
5388If this
5389.Dv RAD_VENDOR_MICROSOFT
5390vendor specific attribute is supplied, it's value is used as the master

5398.It set reconnect Ar timeout ntries
5399Should the line drop unexpectedly (due to loss of CD or LQR

5401.Ar timeout .
5402The line will be re-connected at most
5403.Ar ntries
5404times.
5405.Ar Ntries
5406defaults to zero.
5407A value of
5408.Ar random
5409for
5410.Ar timeout
5411will result in a variable pause, somewhere between 1 and 30 seconds.
5412.It set recvpipe Op Ar value
5413This sets the routing table RECVPIPE value.
5414The optimum value is just over twice the MTU value.

5457.Pp
5458Note, the
5459.Ar secs
5460delay will be effective, even after
5461.Ar attempts
5462has been exceeded, so an immediate manual dial may appear to have
5463done nothing.
5464If an immediate dial is required, a

5487.Pp
5488The word

5495instructs
5496.Nm
5497to attempt to re-open the port.
5498The word
5499.Dq closed
5500instructs
5501.Nm
5502to close the open port.
5503.Pp
5504If you wish to specify a local domain socket,
5505.Ar LocalName
5506must be specified as an absolute file name, otherwise it is assumed
5507to be the name or number of a TCP port.
5508You may specify the octal umask to be used with a local domain socket.
5509Refer to
5510.Xr umask 2
5511for umask details.
5512Refer to
5513.Xr services 5
5514for details of how to translate TCP port names.
5515.Pp
5516You must also specify the password that must be entered by the client
5517(using the
5518.Dq passwd
5519variable above) when connecting to this socket.
5520If the password is
5521specified as an empty string, no password is required for connecting clients.
5522.Pp
5523When specifying a local domain socket, the first
5524.Dq %d
5525sequence found in the socket name will be replaced with the current
5526interface unit number.
5527This is useful when you wish to use the same
5528profile for more than one connection.
5529.Pp
5530In a similar manner TCP sockets may be prefixed with the
5531.Dq +
5532character, in which case the current interface unit number is added to
5533the port number.
5534.Pp
5535When using
5536.Nm
5537with a server socket, the
5538.Xr pppctl 8
5539command is the preferred mechanism of communications.
5540Currently,
5541.Xr telnet 1
5542can also be used, but link encryption may be implemented in the future, so
5543.Xr telnet 1
5544should be avoided.

5552This sets the speed of the serial device.
5553If speed is specified as
5554.Dq sync ,
5555.Nm
5556treats the device as a synchronous device.
5557.Pp
5558Certain device types will know whether they should be specified as
5559synchronous or asynchronous.
5560These devices will override incorrect
5561settings and log a warning to this effect.
5562.It set stopped Op Ar LCPseconds Op Ar CCPseconds
5563If this option is set,
5564.Nm
5565will time out after the given FSM (Finite State Machine) has been in
5566the stopped state for the given number of
5567.Dq seconds .
5568This option may be useful if the peer sends a terminate request,
5569but never actually closes the connection despite our sending a terminate
5570acknowledgement.
5571This is also useful if you wish to
5572.Dq set openmode passive
5573and time out if the peer doesn't send a Configure Request within the
5574given time.
5575Use
5576.Dq set log +lcp +ccp

5579log the appropriate state transitions.
5580.Pp
5581The default value is zero, where

5606This command controls the ports that
5607.Nm
5608prioritizes when transmitting data.
5609The default priority TCP ports
5610are ports 21 (ftp control), 22 (ssh), 23 (telnet), 513 (login), 514 (shell),
5611543 (klogin) and 544 (kshell).
5612There are no priority UDP ports by default.
5613See

5631is specified, only that list is cleared).
5632If the first
5633.Ar port
5634argument is prefixed with a plus
5635.Pq Dq \&+
5636or a minus
5637.Pq Dq \&- ,
5638the current list is adjusted, otherwise the list is reassigned.
5639.Ar port Ns No s
5640prefixed with a plus or not prefixed at all are added to the list and
5641.Ar port Ns No s
5642prefixed with a minus are removed from the list.
5643.Pp
5644If
5645.Dq none
5646is specified, all priority port lists are disabled and even
5647.Dv IPTOS_LOWDELAY
5648packets are not prioritised.
5649.It set vj slotcomp on|off
5650This command tells
5651.Nm
5652whether it should attempt to negotiate VJ slot compression.
5653By default, slot compression is turned
5654.Ar on .
5655.It set vj slots Ar nslots
5656This command sets the initial number of slots that
5657.Nm
5658will try to negotiate with the peer when VJ compression is enabled (see the
5659.Sq enable
5660command above).
5661It defaults to a value of 16.
5662.Ar Nslots
5663must be between

5681command as described above.
5682.Pp
5683Use of the ! character
5684requires a following space as with any of the other commands.
5685You should note that this command is executed in the foreground;
5686.Nm
5687will not continue running until this process has exited.
