Chapter 7 Establishing Switch Access

36 Avaya P332G-ML User’s Guide

Establishing a Modem (PPP) Connection with the P330

Overview

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a Layer 2 method for transporting multi-

protocol datagrams over modem links.

Connecting a Modem to the Console Port

A PPP connection with a modem can be established only after the Avaya P330 is

configured with an IP address and net-mask, and the PPP parameters used in the

Avaya P330 are compatible with the modem’s PPP parameters.

1 Connect a terminal to the console port of the Avaya P330 switch as described in

Connecting a Terminal to the Avaya P330 Serial port.

2 When you are prompted for a Login Name, enter the default name root.

3 When you are prompted for a password, enter the password root. You are

now in Supervisor Level.

4 At the prompt, type:

set interface ppp <ip_addr><net-mask>

with an IP address and netmask to be used by the Avaya P330 to connect via its

PPP interface.

Note: The PPP interface configured with the set interface ppp command

must be on a different subnet from the stack inband interface.

5 Set the baud rate, ppp authentication, and ppp time out required to match your

modem. These commands are described in the “Command Line Interface”

chapter.

6 At the prompt, type:

set interface ppp enable

The CLI responds with the following:

Entering the Modem mode within 60 seconds...

Please check that the proprietary modem cable is plugged

into the console port

7 Use the DB-25 to RJ-45 connector to plug the console cable to the modem’s DB-

25 connector. Plug the other end of the cable RJ-45 connector to the

Avaya P330 console’s RJ-45 port.

8 The Avaya P330 enters modem mode.

9 You can now dial into the switch from a remote station, and open a Telnet

session to the PPP interface IP address.
