PPP(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual PPP(4) NAME ppp -- point to point protocol network interface SYNOPSIS device ppp DESCRIPTION The ppp interface allows serial lines to be used as network interfaces using the point-to-point protocol. The ppp interface can use various types of compression and has many features over the sl(4) protocol. Each ppp interface is created at runtime using interface cloning. This is most easily done with the ifconfig(8) create command or using the cloned_interfaces variable in rc.conf(5). DIAGNOSTICS ppp%d: af%d not supported. The interface was handed a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address family; the packet was dropped. SEE ALSO inet(4), intro(4), sl(4), pppd(8), pppstats(8) BUGS Currently, only the ip(4) protocol is supported. FreeBSD 11.1 August 10, 1996 FreeBSD 11.1
