ppp(4)
NAME
ppp - point to point protocol network interface
SYNOPSIS
device ppp
DESCRIPTION
- The ppp interface allows serial lines to be used as network
- interfaces
using the point-to-point protocol. The ppp interface can - use various
types of compression and has many features over the sl(4) - protocol.
- Each ppp interface is created at runtime using interface
- cloning. This
is most easily done with the ifconfig(8) create command or - using the
cloned_interfaces variable in rc.conf(5).
DIAGNOSTICS
- ppp%d: af%d not supported. The interface was handed a mes
- sage with
addresses formatted in an unsuitable address family; the - packet was
dropped.

BUGS
