💅 interfaces-ppp(5) — the PPP glow-up for your interfaces(5) file

okay bestie, so this is a File Formats Manual page, and it's literally called interfaces-ppp. It's the PPP extensions situation for the interfaces(5) file format. iykyk 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

interfaces-ppp — PPP extensions for the interfaces(5) file format. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is usually used for dial-up lines, and it's most commonly used over Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL) to connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). no cap, that's the classic use case. 🔥

The options below let you set up PPP dial-up connections. that's the whole point of this page, and honestly? slay.

  • ppp-provider provider — this denotes the file name of the provider configuration file within the /etc/ppp/peers/ directory, which should be used to set up the PPP connection. so like, that's the file it's gonna go read. periodt. 📁
  • ppp-physdev interfaces — this denotes the physical (underlay) interface which is used to set up the PPP connection. the underlay in question, fr fr. 🧚

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

a PPP connection to local-ISP, just like this, bestie:

auto ppp0
iface ppp0
     ppp-provider local-ISP

that's the whole example. iconic. ⭐
