Start or stop requesting LCP Extensions in PPP

Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 7

You can use this procedure to enable or disable the use of the Link Control Protocol (LCP) extensions that can be used as part of a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) session.

LCP allows the two communicating computers to negotiate some additional performance parameters and detect some common configuration errors.

Any user account can be used to complete this procedure.

To start or stop requesting LCP extension in PPP

1. If you want to modify the connection you are currently using, disconnect from the server.

2. Open the Network Connections folder and view available connections.

3. Right-click the connection that you want to modify, and then click Properties.

4. On the Options tab, click PPP Settings.

5. Select or clear the Enable LCP extensions check box.

Additional considerations

• LCP extensions to PPP are defined in RFC 1548, and updated in RFC 1570. For more information, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=121.
