Wrong!
PPP has 2 processes which take care of link establishment and Ip Address
assignment.: LCP and IPCP
IPCP is the one which takes care of Ip address assignment from the pool defined
, if any, or from the peer Ip Address.
TO confirmm this , follow the below steps.
Enable : debug PPP nego on a router.
make a call ( modem or digital) from another router or a modem and see the debug
messages.
It will clearly show you the IPCP component
Coming to the DHCP part you mentioned : DHCP / Static Pools / Dynamic Pools /
using peer IP addresses/ are merely different ways to *get* the IP address , but
assigning the IP address to the incoming USER / Call is done by PPP.
hope this helps
p.s: x'cuse my spellings..my keyboard is all screwed up today....
