NITIATION
IPCP address negotiation initiation defines when IPCP will initiate “IP address” IPCP option
negotiation. The possible choices are:
•
always initiate: IPCP will always initiate the IP address option negotiation (on a PPP link).
•
If IP Address Unknown: IPCP will initiate the negotiation only when the peer’s IP address is
unknown (for example, the system is running in the no-security mode, or the device entry does
not have an IP address configured.
Note:
The default value is “Always Initiate.”
