Abstract
Dynamic interfaces such as PPP interfaces are configured by (1) saving routing configuration information using symbolic names; (2) determining when a symbolically named interface becomes active; (3) resolving the symbolic name to an operational IP address for routing and RIP traffic; and thereafter (4) communicating dynamic protocol packets over the dynamic interface.
