FreeBSD Handbook

+ August 8, 1995Welcome to FreeBSD! This handbook covers the
installation and day to day use of FreeBSD Release
2.0.5.
This manual is a work in progress and is the
work of many individials. Many sections do not yet exist
and some of those that do exist need to be updated. If
you are interested in helping with this project, send

PPP and SLIP
If your connection to the internet is through a modem, or
you wish to provide other people with dialup connections to
the internet using FreeBSD, you have the option of using PPP
or SLIP. Furthermore, two varieties of PPP are provided:
user (sometimes referred to as iijppp) and
kernel. The procedures for configuring both types
of PPP, and for setting up SLIP are described in this
chapter.

Setting up a SLIP client

The following is one way to set up a FreeBSD machine for SLIP on a
static host network. For dynamic hostname assignments (i.e., your
address changes each time you dial up), you probably need to do
something much fancier.
-Note: for 1.1 systems (not 1.1.5), you need to use /dev/tty01 instead
-of /dev/cuaa1.
-
-Note: the default 1.1.5(.1) system only comes with cua/ttyd pairs for
-the last two ports (2 and 3), so if your modem is at sio0/sio1
-(COM1/COM2), you need to make the devices. Try "cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV
-cuaa1" to make the new special files for sio1 (ditto for sio0). This
-will delete tty01, but you shouldn't need it anymore...or you can make
-a symbolic link /dev/tty01 -> ttyd1 if you don't want to hunt down all
-occurences of tty01 in your setup files.
-
-I actually have a symbolic link /dev/modem -> cuaa1 (and /dev/mouse ->
-ttyd0). I use only the modem/mouse names in my configuration files.
-This helped a lot when I switched from 1.1 to 1.1.5.1 (tty01 => cuaa1)
-and when I had to move my modem temporarily to sio2 to enable the
-RS-232C port on the serial card. It can become quite cumbersome when
-you need to fix a bunch of files in /etc and .kermrc's all over the
-system!

Things you have to do only once

/etc/hosts file. Mine looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost
136.152.64.181 silvia.HIP.Berkeley.EDU silvia.HIP silvia
136.152.64.1 inr-3.Berkeley.EDU inr-3 slip-gateway
128.32.136.9 ns1.Berkeley.edu ns1
128.32.136.12 ns2.Berkeley.edu ns2
By the way, silvia is the name of the car that I had when I was
back in Japan (it's called 2?0SX here in U.S.).

-gateway=slip-gateway
-ifconfig sl0 inet $hostname $gateway netmask 0xffffff00
-route add default $gateway
+ifconfig_sl0="inet ${hostname} slip-gateway netmask 0xffffff00 up"
- Note that because of the "slip-gateway" entry in /etc/hosts, there
- is no local dependency in the netstart file. Also, you might want
- to un-comment the "route add $hostname localhost" line.
- Make a file /etc/resolv.conf which contains:

Making a SLIP connection

environment. I use kermit, with a script like this:
# kermit setup
set modem hayes

-set speed 57600
+set line /dev/modem
+set speed 115200
set parity none
set flow rts/cts
set terminal bytesize 8
set file type binary
# The next macro will dial up and login
define slip dial 643-9600, input 10 =>, if failure stop, -
output slip\x0d, input 10 Username:, if failure stop, -
output silvia\x0d, input 10 Password:, if failure stop, -
output ***\x0d, echo \x0aCONNECTED\x0a
(of course, you have to change the hostname and password to fit
yours). Then you can just type "slip" from the kermit prompt to
get connected.
Note: leaving your password in plain text anywhere in the
filesystem is generally a BAD idea. Do it at your own risk. I'm
just too lazy.
- Note: If you have an 1.1 machine, and kermit doesn't give you a
- prompt, try "stty -f /dev/tty01 clocal". I put this in
- /etc/rc.local so that it works the first time I boot the machine.
- This doesn't apply to 1.1.5(.1) systems, as cua0? are already
- configured for dialouts.
-

How to shutdown the connection
-
Type "ps gx" (as root) to find out the PID of slattach, and use
- "kill -INT" to kill it.
- Then go back to kermit ("fg" if you suspended it) and exit from it
- ("q").

Type "kill -INT `cat /var/run/slattach.modem.pid`" (as root) to
+ kill slattach. Then go back to kermit ("fg" if you suspended it)
+ and exit from it ("q").
The slattach man page says you have to use "ifconfig sl0 down" to
mark the interface down, but this doesn't seem to make any
difference for me. ("ifconfig sl0" reports the same thing.)
Some times, your modem might refuse to drop the carrier (mine
often does). In that case, simply start kermit and quit it again.
It usually goes out on the second try.
- When you want to connect again, go back to (XXX). You may have to
- watch out for clocal mode. If "stty -f /dev/tty01" doesn't tell
- you it's clocal, you need to re-set it before kermitting. Again,
- this is only for 1.1 machines.

tripped over so far:

"no route to host" messages from ping. Mine looks like:
