Setting Global PPP Parameters
The pppglobal command is used to set global configuration parameters that are used by the
PPP protocol. These parameters are termed “global” because they are the default settings used
by the switch to establish connections with incoming calls. These global settings are not tied
to a specific peer (i.e., a PPP Entity; see Adding a PPP Entity on page 30-9).
To set the global PPP parameters, enter the following command:
pppglobal
A screen similar to the following displays:

The fields on this screen have the following meanings:
Default Authentication Type
Specifies the type of authentication that is to be expected on incoming calls. The options are
None, PAP, and CHAP. Set this parameter to the type of authentication that you expect your
callers to be using. If you enable either PAP or CHAP authentication, the next two parameters
must also be set (user ID and password) or the caller’s connection requests will be refused. If
you set this parameter to None, you must also set the Default Bridge, IP and IPX
Configuration Administration Status parameters or the caller’s connection requests will be
refused.
Global User ID sent to remote for Authentication
Specifies the user ID that will be sent to a peer on incoming calls. Enter the text you will
transmit on incoming calls. This parameter must contain a value if either PAP or CHAP
authentication is being used. The User ID and password received from the peer will be
checked against the list of peers (PPP Entities) to attempt to identify the remote peer.
Global Password sent to remote for Authentication
Specifies the password that will be sent to a peer on incoming calls. Enter the text you will
transmit on incoming calls. This parameter must contain a value if either PAP or CHAP
authentication is being used.
