Cisco router as PPTP client

vachadorf

Hi,

is it possible to use a Cisco router as a PPTP client?

The problem: To get a fixed IP from an ISP in Asia we need to dial in via PPTP. The fixed IP gets assigned at the PPTP interface. Actually we have a PC connected and it works. I want now to replace the PC with a router.

Sample configs are welcome.

Regards

Markus

PPTP was initially supported in Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0(5)XE5 on the Cisco 7100/7200 routers. It then moved to Cisco IOS general platform support in Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(5)T.
