Note
Since you are configuring the T1/E1 port for PPP, the timeslots will
automatically be set to PPP, even if the timeslots were previously con-
figured for clear or FrameRelay.
4. In the Protocol Type column, you will see ppp-ipcp(1) which is the default protocol (ppp-ipcp(1) is for
routed PPP channels over the T1/E1 link). The other displayed parameters are IP Address, IP Mask, and
Status.
IP Address is the IP address of the remote end of the PPP link for IPCP applications.
IP Mask is 255.255.255.255 by default. Only in rare instances would the mask not be (that is,
255.255.255.255).
