.B ipv6 \fI<local_interface_identifier>\fR,\fI<remote_interface_identifier>
Set the local and/or remote 64-bit interface identifier. Either one may be
-omitted. The identifier must be specified in standard ascii notation of
+omitted. The identifier must be specified in standard ASCII notation of
IPv6 addresses (e.g. ::dead:beef). If the
\fIipv6cp\-use\-ipaddr\fR
option is given, the local identifier is the local IPv4 address (see above).

Initiate the link only on demand, i.e. when data traffic is present.

configure the interface and enable it for IP traffic without
connecting to the peer. When traffic is available, pppd will
connect to the peer and perform negotiation, authentication, etc.
The \fIdemand\fR option implies the \fIpersist\fR option. If this
behaviour is not desired, use the \fInopersist\fR option after the
\fIdemand\fR option. The \fIidle\fR and \fIholdoff\fR

.B noremoteip
Allow pppd to operate without having an IP address for the peer. This
option is only available under Linux. Normally, pppd will request the

+With this option, if the peer does
not supply its IP address, pppd will not ask the peer for it, and will
not set the destination address of the ppp interface. In this
situation, the ppp interface can be used for routing by creating

pseudo-tty master as its standard input and output. An explicit
device name may not be given if this option is used. (Note: if the
-\fIrecord\fR option is used in conjuction with the \fIpty\fR option,

the child process will have pipes on its standard input and output.)
