8.7.3 Monitoring PPTP Client
Command name: /interface pptp-client monitor
Property Description
encoding (text) - encryption and encoding (if asymmetric, separated with '/') being used in this
connection
idle-time (read-only: time) - time since the last packet has been transmitted over this link
mru (read-only: integer) - effective MRU of the link
mtu (read-only: integer) - effective MTU of the link
status (text) - status of the client
dialing - attempting to make a connection
verifying password... - connection has been established to the server, password verification in progress
connected - self-explanatory
terminated - interface is not enabled or the other side will not establish a connection
uptime (time) - connection time displayed in days, hours, minutes and seconds
Example
Example of an established connection:
[admin@AT-WR4562] interface pptp-client> monitor test2
status: "connected"
uptime: 6h44m9s
idle-time: 6h44m9s
encoding: "MPPE128 stateless"
mtu: 1460
mru: 1460
[admin@AT-WR4562] interface pptp-client>
8.7.4 PPTP Server Setup
Submenu level: /interface pptp-server server
Description
The PPTP server creates a dynamic interface for each connected PPTP client. The PPTP connection count
from clients depends on the license level you have. Level1 license allows 1 PPTP client, Level3 or Level4
licenses up to 200 clients, and Level5 or Level6 licenses do not have PPTP client limitations.
Property Description
authentication (multiple choice: pap | chap | mschap1 | mschap2; default: mschap2) - authentication
algorithm
default-profile - default profile to use
enabled (yes | no; default: no) - defines whether PPTP server is enabled or not
keepalive-timeout (time; default: 30) - defines the time period (in seconds) after which the router is
starting to send keepalive packets every second. If no traffic and no keepalive responses has came for that
period of time (i.e. 2 * keepalive-timeout), not responding client is proclaimed disconnected
max-mru (integer; default: 1460) - Maximum Receive Unit. The optimal value is the MRU of the
interface the tunnel is working over decreased by 40 (so, for 1500-byte ethernet link, set the MRU to
1460 to avoid fragmentation of packets)
max-mtu (integer; default: 1460) - Maximum Transmission Unit. The optimal value is the MTU of the
interface the tunnel is working over decreased by 40 (so, for 1500-byte ethernet link, set the MTU to
1460 to avoid fragmentation of packets)
mrru (integer: 512..65535; default: disabled) - maximum packet size that can be received on the link. If a
packet is bigger than tunnel MTU, it will be split into multiple packets, allowing full size IP or Ethernet
packets to be sent over the tunnel
disabled - disable MRRU on this link
