Displaying PPP Entity Status
Page 30-19
BCP Oper State
Indicates the operational state of the Bridging Control Protocol option. Open means that the
bridging operation is active. Closed means that the bridging operation has not yet reached the
open state. The reasons why the state may be closed are: 1) the call has been disconnected,
2) the protocol is in the process of making a connection, or 3) the Bridging option was not
configured.
CCP Oper State
The operational state of the compression control protocol option. Open means that
compression is active. Closed means that compression has not reached the open state. The
reasons why the state may be closed are: 1) the call has been disconnected, 2) the protocol is
in the process of making a connection, or 3) the compression option was not configured.
