Strings
Strings
This chapter provides a reference list of PPP and modem initialization
strings used to configure out-of-band (OOB) management.
strings used to configure out-of-band (OOB) management.
The PPP client for Linux is called Pppd.
PPP Initialization Strings
These are the strings and syntaxes available for use when configuring a
Firebox for out-of-band management in Policy Manager:
Firebox for out-of-band management in Policy Manager:
asyncmap <map>
Set the async character map to <map>. This map describes which
control characters cannot be successfully received over the serial
line. Pppd will ask the peer to send these characters as a 2-byte
escape sequence. The argument is a 32-bit hex number with each
bit representing a character to escape. Bit 0 (00000001) represents
the character 0x00; bit 31 (80000000) represents the character 0x1f
or ^_. If multiple asyncmap options are given, the values are
ORed together. If no asyncmap option is given, no async character
map will be negotiated for the receive direction; the peer should
then escape all control characters. To escape transmitted
characters, use the escape option.
