This memo + does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of + this memo is unlimited. + +Abstract + + The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] provides a standard method for + transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links. PPP + defines an extensible Link Control Protocol and a family of Network + Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing and configuring different + network-layer protocols. + + This document extends the NCP for establishing and configuring the + Internet Protocol over PPP [2], defining the negotiation of primary + and secondary Domain Name System (DNS) [3] and NetBIOS Name Server + (NBNS) [4] addresses. + +Table of Contents + + 1.

Additional IPCP Configuration Options + + The four name server address configuration options, 129 to 132, + provide a method of obtaining the addresses of Domain Name System + (DNS) servers and (NetBIOS Name Server (NBNS) nodes on the remote + network. + + + + + + +Cobb Informational [Page 1] + +RFC 1877 PPP IPCP Extensions December 1995 + + + Primary and secondary addresses are negotiated independently. They + serve identical purposes, except that when both are present an + attempt SHOULD be made to resolve names using the primary address + before using the secondary address. + + For implementational convenience, these options are designed to be + identical in format and behavior to option 3 (IP-Address) which is + already present in most IPCP implementations. + + Since the usefulness of name server address information is dependent + on the topology of the remote network and local peer's application, + it is suggested that these options not be included in the list of + "IPCP Recommended Options". + +1.1. Primary DNS Server Address + + Description + + This Configuration Option defines a method for negotiating with + the remote peer the address of the primary DNS server to be used + on the local end of the link.
