Configuring PPP

There are a few choices for the administrator or designer to consider when deploying PPP. These
choices are above and beyond those that would be used with any other technology such as IP
addressing assignments (the actual addresses, not the method used) and the provisioning of routing
protocols. This section focuses on some of the more common issues regarding PPP, including
the selection of dedicated or interactive PPP and the implementation of layer 3 addressing. Later
in this chapter we will introduce authentication protocols and multilink technologies.
