Internet Protocol Control Protocol in PPP links.


 this blog we will look the PPP link's ip route / address negotiation .

In the above diagram, there is not static routing / protocol implemented just serial interface with ppp encapsulation link brought up .
  if you try to ping the R1 interface ip 192.168.100.1  from R2 interface ip 192.168.1.1 will it succeed ?


R2#ping 192.168.100.1
Lets check the router interface:
R1#show run int s1/0
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 160 bytes
!
interface Serial1/0
ip address 192.168.200.1 255.255.255.0 secondary
ip address 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0
encapsulation ppp
serial restart-delay 0

R2#show run int s1/0
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 110 bytes
!
interface Serial1/0
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.254
encapsulation ppp
serial restart-delay 0
end

Answer is Yes you can ping.
R2#ping 192.168.100.1

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.100.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/36/84 ms
R2#

Check the routing table: " 192.168.100.1" directly connected !!

R2#show ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route
Gateway of last resort is not set
192.168.1.0/30 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 192.168.1.0 is directly connected, Serial1/0
192.168.100.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 192.168.100.1 is directly connected, Serial1/0

How it works :
ip address negotiated through IPCP as defined in RFC 1332
“The IP Control Protocol (IPCP) is responsible for configuring, enabling, and disabling the IP protocol modules on both ends of the point-to-point link.“

enabled the debugging to what is going on :
*Mar 1 00:31:48.207: Se1/0 PPP: I pkt type 0x8021, datagramsize 14 link[ip]
*Mar 1 00:31:48.211: Se1/0 IPCP: I CONFREQ [Open] id 3 len 10
*Mar 1 00:31:48.211: Se1/0 IPCP: Address 192.168.100.2 (0x0306C0A86402)

l2tpv3 configuration reference

Reference Comparing , Designing and Deploying VPNs chap - 02 : L2TPv3 is the enhanced version of L2TPv2 protocol. Mikrotik uses L2TPv2 i suppose but it offer another similar tunneling mechanism as EOIP. L2TPv3 in cisco provides Pseudo-wire services to the customer. L2TPv3 only require the IP connectivity between peers but it can transport Ethernet, 802.1Q , HDLC, PPP framerelay etc. Advantage over MPLS is the customer having the full control of their routing domain. L2TP depolyment methods having 3 topologies LAC - LNS , LNS - LNS , LAC - LAC Following Diagram explain simple LAC - LAC L2TPv3 setup. It uses two types of messages: control connection messages - used for signaling between LCEs session data messages - Used to transport layer 2 protocols and connections Data channel Message Header having Session ID & cookie to correctly associate with the tunnel Deploying dynamic Pseudowires session 1) configure CEF - Its default in IOSs now. 2) configure a loopback in

proxy arp

Image
In the above diagram , both hosts don't have default routes. But both are in the same /16 subnet. When host1 tries to ping host2 will it be able to ping ? Yes this behaviour due to the Proxy Arp feature. Note: Cisco by default enabled the proxy arp feature you have to disable it manually . Check the following Debug messages "debug arp" from the router. When the Arp request for 192.168.20.101 received on the router Fa0/1 it replies with its own mac address of fa0/1.
