Commands for PPP process
1. Console object types
The ppp process presents its setup in terms of a number of distinct
object types:
The upper limit on the number of each of these objects permitted in a
system is configured using the
‘config resource’ console command.
The current state of each object is saved by
‘config save’.
1.1 Channels
The ppp process provides a number of PPP connection channels. A
channel is a single PPP connection. Channels are numbered from 1.
Many ppp console commands affect only a single channel. The
command is prefixed with the channel number.

A user is a user name and password. All users must have distinct
names. The
user console command controls these.

be associated with an interface to be involved with bridging or
routing.

IP dial-out functions, and for this function should be attached to the
router interface named ‘ppp_device’.
