Wendry,

This is the first note I have written concerning the PPP IPCP. The next topic I intend to cover is the assignment of ip address from a local or remote DHCP pool. In order if someone dialin, an address should be assigned from a DHCP pool to this client.

Hi Dani

Thanks for the comment. Prior to posting the original note, I actually knew the command and I tried it but I don’t seem to be getting the expected result. If it really works well, I expect to see the installed route on R3 be set to /24 not /32. However, I do not expect this to stop the installation of the peer hos route.

The fact that it did not work was why I did not include it in the original note

Thanks as I am still trying to figure this out.

Hi
please have a look at the following Cisco documentation about IPCP network mask negotiation.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_1/12_1dc/feature/guide/ipcp_msk.pdf
The command is:

ppp ipcp mask

I don’t have a router with a serial interface and can not test it but according to Cisco it can be applied in Template and Interface configuration mode

Thanks Sesano.
Let me know when you have started the discussion for this ppp ipcp especially for dialin. For the time being, I use dial profile where I end up have to put all of the branch profile in HQ router just to accommodate /30 subnet mask so that Routing Protocol can be brought up on this link.

I am happy you found this useful.

There is actually a lot to this interaction between PPP (IPCP) and addressing with DHCP and access authentication escpecially for dialin.

My plan is to take discuss these areas one after theother in the next few topics.

Hi Sesano, your topic is what I desperately need at this time. I have case where branches need to dial to HQ. HQ does not have many lines to support all of them. And we have bought pvdm2-36dm to terminate E1 as with async interfaces. Problem is routing protocol can’t be bring up since HQ always be assigned /32 as opposed to /30. The ip address needs to be assigned by branches due to the limitation of lines at HQ.
Please help. I have been working on this for days..

Hi Sesano,

Congratulations on passing your written test last May. I hope you founc success with you lab test as well.

I am beginning my journey to CCIE-hood and would like to take you up on your offer to recommend test software.

I’m 75% through the Odom, et al book and have started saving for a Intenetworkexpert package.

The next step for me is to pass the written test. Can you recommend any good software for this?

Many Thanks,

Fabio
