Installation

You do not need to manually install the PPP software if:

the LAN/9000 networking product was pre-installed on your system (instant ignition).
you used the HP-UX swinstall program to install the Core Networking Bundle. The PPP-RUN fileset is part of this software bundle.

To determine whether PPP-RUN software has been installed on your system and is included in your kernel, do one of the following:

Type the command:
ls /var/adm/sw/products/Networking
If PPP-RUN appears in the list of filesets, then the PPP software is already installed on your system.
Type the command:
grep tun /stand/system
If tun appears in the list of filesets, then the PPP software is already included in your HP-UX Kernel.

If the PPP software is not already installed or is not included in your HP-UX Kernel, install it by running the HP-UX swinstall program with the command:

/usr/sbin/swinstall

Highlight the PPP-RUN filesets from the Software Selection Window and choose "Install" from the menu. When you click OK, swinstall will install the PPP-RUN fileset and regenerate the kernel.

The PPP-RUN fileset includes the following components:

command program (/usr/bin/pppd)
startup script (/sbin/init.d/ppp)
device configuration file (/etc/ppp/tunconf)
migration script for pre 10.30 HP SLIP users (/usr/bin/ppl)
sample configuration files for communicating to PPP (for example, /etc/ppp/Devices.ex, /etc/ppp/Dialers.ex, and /etc/ppp/Systems.ex)
example configuration files for communicating to other PPP implementations (for example, /etc/ppp/Examples/Exec-Portmaster.ex)
