Configuration Guide Configuring IP Addresses and Services
Global configuration mode
By default, the IP address pool function is enabled. You can configure an IP address pool to assign an IP
address to the peer end through PPP negotiation. To disable the IP address pool function, run the no ip
address-pool local command. All IP address pools configured previously will be deleted.
Creating an IP Address Pool
ip local pool pool-namelow-ip-address[high-ip-address]
pool-name: Name of a local IP address pool. default indicates the default address pool name.
low-ip-address: Smallest IP address in an IP address pool.
high-ip-address: Optional)Largest IP address in an IP address pool. If the largest IP address is not specified,
the IP address pool contains only one IP address, that is, low-ip-address.
Global configuration mode
The command is used to create one or more IP address pools to assign IP addresses to peer ends through
PPP negotiation.
Assigning an IP Address to the Peer End through PPP Negotiation
peer default ip address {ip-address | pool [pool-name] }
ip-address: IP address assigned to the peer end.
pool-name: (Optional) Specifies the address pool that assigns IP addresses. If this parameter is not set, IP
addresses are assigned from the default address pool.
Interface configuration mode
If the peer end is not configured with an IP address while the local device is configured with an IP address,
you can enable the local device to assign an IP address to the peer end. Run the ip address negotiate
command on the peer end and the peer default ip address command on the local device so that the peer
end can accept the IP address assigned through PPP negotiation.
The peer default ip address command can be configured on only PPP or SLIP interfaces.
The peer default ip address pool command is used to assign an IP address to the peer end from an IP
address pool. The IP address pool is configured through the ip local pool command.
The peer default ip address ip-address command is used to specify an IP address for the peer end. The
command cannot be run on virtual template interfaces or asynchronous interfaces.
Configuration Example
Assign an IP address from address pool “quark” to the peer end on interface “dialer1”.
