!
interface Virtual-Template1

 ipv6 unnumbered FastEthernet2/0
 ipv6 enable
 ipv6 nd reachable-time 30
 no ipv6 nd suppress-ra
 peer default ip address pool DIAL-IN
 peer default ipv6 pool DIAL-IN6
 ppp encrypt mppe 128
 ppp authentication ms-chap
 ppp ipcp dns 129.250.35.250 129.250.35.251
!
ip local pool DIAL-IN 10.10.15.72 10.10.15.79
