NAME

       interfaces-ppp - PPP extensions for the interfaces(5) file format

DESCRIPTION

       The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) usually is used for dial-up lines, most common for over
       Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL) to connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). The
       following options allow to set up PPP dial-up connections.

PPP-RELATED OPTIONS

       ppp-provider provider
           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.

       ppp-physdev interfaces
           Denotes the physical (underlay) interface which is used to set up the PPP connection.

EXAMPLES

       A PPP connection to local-ISP:

           auto ppp0
           iface ppp0
                ppp-provider local-ISP
