	Chapter 15.  Dialing in with PPP

---

We don't need to add any additional routes, as these were built when the link was created, but we do need to control what traffic can run across them. By default, RIP is enabled on the system and will run over all the network interfaces that it finds. What this means for us is that packets will be directed toward the PPP interfaces and will force the connection to be made. Again, this isn't the behavior that we would like, so we have two choices. These are to either disable RIP, or to stop it from querying the dialup connection.

We are going to disable RIP; in fact, at the beginning of this chapter we said that the systems would be built to our standard build, which includes disabling both RDISC and RIP. If we had wanted to let these processes carry on running, we would have edited the gateways file instead and disabled RIP over the dialup interface, as shown here:

 cesium# cat /etc/gateways norip ipdptp0 cesium#
