set ppp module [vccn] connection-type
{ instant-on | always-on }
Specifies whether a PPP connection is maintained by the Motorola Netopia® Gateway when it is unused for
extended periods. If you specify always-on, the Motorola Netopia® Gateway never shuts down the PPP
link. If you specify instant-on, the Motorola Netopia® Gateway shuts down the PPP link after the number
of seconds specified in the time-out setting (below) if no traffic is moving over the circuit.
set ppp module [vccn] time-out integer
If you specified a connection type of instant-on, specifies the number of seconds, in the range 30 -
3600, with a default value of 300, the Motorola Netopia® Gateway should wait for communication activity
before terminating the PPP link.
Configuring Port Authentication. You can use the following command to specify how your Motorola Neto-
pia® Gateway should respond when it receives an authentication request from a remote peer.
The settings for por t authentication on the local Motorola Netopia® Gateway must match the authentica-
tion that is expected by the remote peer. For example, if the remote peer requires CHAP authentication and
has a name and CHAP secret for the Motorola Netopia® Gateway, you must enable CHAP and specify the
same name and secret on the Motorola Netopia® Gateway before the link can be established.
set ppp module [vccn] port-authentication
option [ off | on | pap-only | chap-only ]
Specifying on turns both PAP and CHAP on, or you can select PAP or CHAP. Specify the username and
password when por t authentication is turned on (both CHAP and PAP, CHAP or PAP.) Authentication must
be enabled before you can enter other information.
set ppp module [vccn] port-authentication username username
The username argument is 1 – 255 alphanumeric characters. The information you enter must match the
username configured in the PPP peer's authentication database.
set ppp module [vccn] port-authentication password password
The password argument is 1 – 128 alphanumeric characters. The information you enter must match the
password used by the PPP peer.
