How to enable PPP feature in a VPS/Container?

In order to enable PPP feature for a VPS/Container, the Hardware node should have the

ppp_async

ppp_deflate

modules loaded in the kernel. To load the modules on the hardware node, execute

# modprobe ppp_async

# modprobe ppp_deflate

lsmod will list the modules those are active.

# lsmod | grep ppp

ppp_deflate 39168 0

zlib_deflate 52760 1 ppp_deflate

ppp_async 45184 0

crc_ccitt 6337 1 ppp_async

ppp_generic 20165 6 ppp_deflate,ppp_async

slhc 30561 1 ppp_generic

You now need to enable PPP feature for the VPS:

# vzctl set VEID –features ppp:on –save

Now, set ppp within the VPS:

# vzctl set VEID –devices c:108:0:rw –save

# vzctl exec VEID mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0

# vzctl exec VEID chmod 600 /dev/ppp

Now, restart the VPS

# vzctl restart VEID

Login to the VPS:

# vzctl enter VEID

See if the PPP module works in the VPS:

# /usr/sbin/pppd

You should now receive a message asking for the password or some garbage characters. If you see something else, then something is wrong
