The only thing that I can think of is the use of auto select ppp with peers
when used in Remote Access designs. As you say, I am unaware of 1 command
which will allow ppp to assign ip addresses but in this remote access
situation the guy might have been getting mixed up. Anyway this is my 2p
worth!

I think you are right. I do not know of any mechanism within PPP to
actually perform the address assignment. In my experience, I have always
had to use a DHCP server or assign a static pool of addresses to use, which
would indicate another mechanism external to PPP at work here.
Nice catch!

Subject: I think I was right??? (PPP question)
Hey Groupies, 8)
I've got a question for you. Today I was called by a headhunter. After
talking about what I was looking for he asked me if he could test me on my
CCNA knowledge. The questions were multiple choice. There were 10 questions
and I got 8/10 right. One of the wrong ones, I know I got wrong, but the
other I'm skeptical about. It was something about PPP, and the answer was
that PPP assigns IP addresses itself for it's communication. I don't think
this is right. I have worked on labs where we configure the encapsulation
for
PPP, and we assign our own IP addresses. So I don't know why the answer
could
be "totally" correct. I tried to go through my CCNA books, and even tried to
find this in my CCDA/CCNP books but found nothing on PPP assigning it's own
IP's. Can somebody let me know if I was right, and if I am wrong could you
point me towards a link, or page numbers proving this info. I want to call
this guy back and let him know if his test was wrong. I think it would make
me look a lot better, even though he said I did great. So basically my
question is: Does PPP assign it's own IP addresses? Thanks for the help
group,
