There is another mechanism that is used in conjunction with PPP to assign IP
addresses, but it is Not PPP alone. IPCP (Internet Protocol Configuration
Protocol) is used assign IP addresses to hosts over a PPP link. So, yes you
were correct and the Headhunter should revise his question. Hope this
helps.

I think you are right. I do not know of any mechanism within PPP to
actually perform the address assignment. In my experience, I have always
had to use a DHCP server or assign a static pool of addresses to use, which
would indicate another mechanism external to PPP at work here.
Nice catch!

Subject: I think I was right??? (PPP question)
Hey Groupies, 8)
I've got a question for you. Today I was called by a headhunter. After
talking about what I was looking for he asked me if he could test me on my
CCNA knowledge. The questions were multiple choice. There were 10 questions
and I got 8/10 right. One of the wrong ones, I know I got wrong, but the
other I'm skeptical about. It was something about PPP, and the answer was
that PPP assigns IP addresses itself for it's communication. I don't think
this is right. I have worked on labs where we configure the encapsulation
for
PPP, and we assign our own IP addresses. So I don't know why the answer
could
be "totally" correct. I tried to go through my CCNA books, and even tried to
find this in my CCDA/CCNP books but found nothing on PPP assigning it's own
IP's. Can somebody let me know if I was right, and if I am wrong could you
point me towards a link, or page numbers proving this info. I want to call
this guy back and let him know if his test was wrong. I think it would make
me look a lot better, even though he said I did great. So basically my
question is: Does PPP assign it's own IP addresses? Thanks for the help
group,
