NAME

pppinterface − Point-to-Point interface database

SYNOPSIS

/etc/inet/pppinterface

DESCRIPTION

The /etc/inet/pppinterface file contains information used by the PPP startup script to configure the PPP interfaces.  Each line in the file describes and causes to be configured, a separate PPP interface.  Each line is composed of six colon separated fields as follows:
ppp:n:source-addr:/dev/ppp:dest-addr:add_ppp:

The first field is "ppp" and is required as is.  The second field, n is the interface number starting at zero.  It is ignored but has been retained for historical reasons.  The third field, source-addr is the source ip address of the interface expressed in decimal dot notation.  The fourth field is "/dev/ppp" and is required as is.  The fifth field dest-addr is the destination ip address of the interface expressed in decimal dot notation.  This field can optionally include a netmask specification appended to the destination address.  The sixth field is "add_ppp" and is required as is.  The sixth field must be followed by a colon.
