Configuring the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)

DNS options

The following options define how a host, usually a remote access server, should advertise DNS name server addresses:

Advertised DNS addresses

How to obtain the IP addresses of DNS name servers that are to be advertised:

none advertised: Do not advertise DNS name servers.
supplied addresses: Advertise the IP addresses that are specified as the Advertised primary DNS server and Advertised secondary DNS server entries.
locally configured: Use the IP addresses of name servers that are configured in /etc/resolv.conf (see resolv.conf(4tcp)).
obtained from DHCP: Use DHCP to obtain the IP addresses. This feature is not currently available.

Advertised primary DNS server

A DNS server to be advertised.

Advertised secondary DNS server

An alternative DNS server to be advertised.

The following option defines how a host should handle advertised DNS name server addresses:

Get addresses of DNS servers: Whether the addresses of advertised DNS servers should be obtained if available. If set to Yes, these addresses will be included as nameserver definitions in the host's resolv.conf(4tcp) file when the link is brought up.
