IPv6 interface identifier, even if the remote IPv6 interface
identifier was specified in an option.
.TP
+.B ipv6cp\-noremote
+Allow pppd to operate without having an IPv6 link local address for the peer.
+This option is only available under Linux. Normally, pppd will request the
+peer's IPv6 interface identifier (used for composing IPv6 link local address),
+and if the peer does not supply it, pppd will generate one for the peer.
+With this option, if the peer does not supply its IPv6 interface identifier,
+pppd will not ask the peer for it, and will not set the destination IPv6
+link local address of the ppp interface. In this situation, the ppp interface
+can be used for routing by creating device routes, but the peer itself cannot
+be addressed directly for IPv6 traffic until the peer starts announcing ICMPv6
+Router Advertisement or ICMPv6 Neighbor Advertisement packets. Note that IPv6
+router must announce ICMPv6 Router Advertisement packets.
+.TP
+.B ipv6cp\-nosendip
+Don't send our local IPv6 interface identifier to peer during IPv6 interface
+identifier negotiation.

.B ipv6cp\-max\-configure \fIn
Set the maximum number of IPv6CP configure-request transmissions to
\fIn\fR (default 10).
Set the IPv6CP restart interval (retransmission timeout) to \fIn\fR
seconds (default 3).
.TP
-.B ipx
-Enable the IPXCP and IPX protocols. This option is presently only
-supported under Linux, and only if your kernel has been configured to
-include IPX support.
-.TP
-.B ipx\-network \fIn
-Set the IPX network number in the IPXCP configure request frame to
-\fIn\fR, a hexadecimal number (without a leading 0x). There is no
-valid default. If this option is not specified, the network number is
-obtained from the peer. If the peer does not have the network number,
-the IPX protocol will not be started.
-.TP
-.B ipx\-node \fIn\fB:\fIm
-Set the IPX node numbers. The two node numbers are separated from each
-other with a colon character. The first number \fIn\fR is the local
-node number. The second number \fIm\fR is the peer's node number. Each
-node number is a hexadecimal number, at most 10 digits long. The node
-numbers on the ipx\-network must be unique. There is no valid
-default. If this option is not specified then the node numbers are
-obtained from the peer.
-.TP
-.B ipx\-router\-name \fI<string>
-Set the name of the router. This is a string and is sent to the peer
-as information data.
-.TP
-.B ipx\-routing \fIn
-Set the routing protocol to be received by this option. More than one
-instance of \fIipx\-routing\fR may be specified. The '\fInone\fR'
-option (0) may be specified as the only instance of ipx\-routing. The
-values may be \fI0\fR for \fINONE\fR, \fI2\fR for \fIRIP/SAP\fR, and
-\fI4\fR for \fINLSP\fR.
-.TP
-.B ipxcp\-accept\-local
-Accept the peer's NAK for the node number specified in the ipx\-node
-option. If a node number was specified, and non-zero, the default is
-to insist that the value be used. If you include this option then you
-will permit the peer to override the entry of the node number.
-.TP
-.B ipxcp\-accept\-network
-Accept the peer's NAK for the network number specified in the
-ipx\-network option. If a network number was specified, and non-zero, the
-default is to insist that the value be used. If you include this
-option then you will permit the peer to override the entry of the node
-number.
-.TP
-.B ipxcp\-accept\-remote
-Use the peer's network number specified in the configure request
-frame. If a node number was specified for the peer and this option was
-not specified, the peer will be forced to use the value which you have
-specified.
-.TP
-.B ipxcp\-max\-configure \fIn
-Set the maximum number of IPXCP configure request frames which the
-system will send to \fIn\fR. The default is 10.
-.TP
-.B ipxcp\-max\-failure \fIn
-Set the maximum number of IPXCP NAK frames which the local system will
-send before it rejects the options. The default value is 3.
-.TP
-.B ipxcp\-max\-terminate \fIn
-Set the maximum number of IPXCP terminate request frames before the
-local system considers that the peer is not listening to them. The
-default value is 3.

.B kdebug \fIn
Enable debugging code in the kernel-level PPP driver. The argument
values depend on the specific kernel driver, but in general a value of
address during IPCP negotiation (unless it specified explicitly on the

-.B noipx
-Disable the IPXCP and IPX protocols. This option should only be
-required if the peer is buggy and gets confused by requests from pppd
-for IPXCP negotiation.

.B noktune
Opposite of the \fIktune\fR option; disables pppd from changing system
settings.
