To configure a line to start an ARA, PPP, or SLIP session, use the autoselect line configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable this function on a line.
autoselect {arap | ppp | slip | during-login }
no autoselect
arap Configures the Cisco IOS software to allow an ARA session to start up automatically.
ppp Configures the Cisco IOS software to allow a PPP session to start up automatically.
slip Configures the Cisco IOS software to allow a SLIP session to start up automatically.
during-login The username and/or password prompt is displayed without pressing the Return key. After the user logs in, the autoselect function begins.

This command eliminates the need for users to enter an EXEC command to start an ARA, PPP, or SLIP session.
SLIP does not support authentication. For PPP and ARAP, you must enable authentication.
The autoselect command configures the Cisco IOS software to identify the type of connection being requested. For example, when a user on a Macintosh running ARA selects the Connect button, the Cisco IOS software automatically starts an ARAP session. If, on the other hand, the user is running SLIP or PPP and uses the autoselect ppp or autoselect slip command, the Cisco IOS software automatically starts a PPP or SLIP session, respectively. This command is used on lines making different types of connections.
A line that does not have autoselect configured views an attempt to open a connection as noise. The router does not respond and the user client times out.
After the modem connection is established, a Return is required to evoke a response, such as to get the username prompt. You might need to update your scripts to include this requirement. Additionally, the activation character should be set to the default andthe exec-character-bits set to 7. If you change these defaults, the application cannot recognize the activation request.
The following example enables ARA on a line:
line 3 arap enable autoselect arap
The following example enables PPP on a line:
line 7 autoselect ppp
The following example enables ARA on a line and allows logins from users with a modified CCL script and an unmodified script to log in:
line 3 arap enable autoselect arap autoselect during-login arap noguest if-needed
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| arap warningtime | Sets when a disconnect warning message is displayed. |
| ppp bap call | Sets PPP BACP call parameters. |
