NAME

ppl.ipool − pool of local Internet addresses

DESCRIPTION

Local addresses for serial connections can be assigned in one of two ways:

• Local administrator specifies the IP address in file ppl.remotes. 

• Local administrator does not specify the local address in file ppl.remotes, but leaves that field blank and specifies a pool of IP addresses to be allocated for serial connections.  In this case, ppl chooses the first unallocated address from that pool and uses it for the local address (see ppl(1)).

The ppl.ipool file contains Internet addresses in dot notation, one address per line.  Lines that begin with a # are ignored.
