PPP IP Unique Address and Prefix Detection

The PPP IP Unique Address and Prefix Detection feature checks the uniqueness of IPv4 addresses and IPv6 prefixes on the broadband remote access server (BRAS). PPP disconnects the session if it detects a duplicate IPv4 address and IPv6 prefix.

Information About PPP IP Unique Address and Prefix Detection

  • IPv6 checks if the prefix is unique when it is installed on an interface. If the prefix installation fails, PPP disconnects the session.

  • PPP also checks if the IPv4 address is unique. PPP disconnects the session if a duplicate IPv4 address is detected.

How to Configure PPP IP Unique Address and Prefix Detection

Perform this task to configure the PPP IP Unique Address and Prefix Detection feature.

SUMMARY STEPS

    1.    enable

    2.    configure terminal

    3.    interface virtual-template interface-number

    4.    ppp ipcp address required

    5.    ppp ipcp address unique

    6.    ppp ipv6cp address unique

    7.    ppp timeout ncp seconds

    8.    exit

    9.    ppp ncp override local

    10.    end


DETAILED STEPS
     Command or ActionPurpose
    Step 1 enable


    Example:
    Router> enable
     

    Enables privileged EXEC mode.

    • Enter your password if prompted.

     
    Step 2 configure terminal


    Example:
    Router# configure terminal
     

    Enters global configuration mode.

     
    Step 3 interface virtual-template interface-number


    Example:
    Router(config)# interface virtual-template 7
     

    Selects the Virtual Template interface and enters interface configuration mode.

     
    Step 4 ppp ipcp address required


    Example:
    Router(config-if)# ppp ipcp address required
     

    PPP disconnects the peer if no IP address is negotiated.

     
    Step 5 ppp ipcp address unique


    Example:
    Router(config-if)# ppp ipcp address unique
     

    PPP disconnects the peer if the IP address is already in use.

     
    Step 6 ppp ipv6cp address unique


    Example:
    Router(config-if)# ppp ipv6cp address unique
     

    PPP disconnects the peer if the IPv6 prefix is already in use.

     
    Step 7 ppp timeout ncp seconds


    Example:
    Router(config-if)# ppp timeout ncp 30
     

    PPP sets the maximum time in seconds to wait for the network layer to negotiate.

     
    Step 8 exit


    Example:
    Router(config-if)# exit
     

    Exits interface configuration mode and returns to global configuration mode.

     
    Step 9 ppp ncp override local


    Example:
    Router(config)# ppp ncp override local
     

    PPP overrides the local dual-stack configuration, checks the permitted Network Control Programs (NCP), and rejects user-initiated NCP negotiation.

     
    Step 10 end


    Example:
    Router(config)# end
     

    Exits global configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.
