Question

How to enable Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) in OpenVZ 7 container in SolusVM?

Answer

  1. Create a container (CentOS 7 is used in the below instruction).
  2. Inside the container install the PPP package:

    # yum install ppp -y

  3. Stop the container from the host node:

    # vzctl stop VMID

    VMID can be found on SolusVM > Virtual Servers page.
  4. In SolusVM > Virtual Servers > your container click on Turn PPP on.
  5. On host node enable additional modules:

    # modprobe ppp_async
    # modprobe ppp_deflate
    # modprobe ppp_mppe

  6. Enter the container (either from the node or via SSH from another server) and try to execute the command line below to verify that Point-to-Point Protocol is enabled:

    The output should be some random characters:

    # /usr/sbin/pppd
    ~▒}#▒!}!}!} }4}"}&} } } } }%}&ݑS▒}

    for 30 seconds.
