3.<channel> disable

Syntax:

<channel> disable

Description:

Clear the enable flag for a PPP channel. This is the default setting. Disabling does not remove other configured information about this channel. In the PPP state machine, this sets the PPP link to ‘closed’. If it is already closed, there is no effect.

Configuration saving saves this information. By default all channels are disabled.

4.<channel> discard

Syntax:

<channel> discard [<size>]

Description:

Discard is a PPP LCP packet type, which is like the Echo packet type but does not generate a return. This can be used for more careful tests of data transfer on the link, for instance at sizes near the negotiated MRU. This command sends an LCP Discard packet, of the specified size. If no size is given, a minimal sized packet is sent. Arrival of a Discard packet is logged locally as a level 2 event. The link must be up and operational in order to do the discard test.

5.<channel> echo

Syntax:

<channel> echo [<size>]

Description:

Echo is an LCP packet, which is used to test an established PPP link. It solicits a ping-like reply from the far end. This command sends an LCP Echo packet, of the specified size. If no size is given, a minimal sized packet is sent. If a size greater than the remote Maximum Receive Unit size is specified, the value is reduced to the remote MRU before sending. The command waits for 1 second for a reply packet to arrive, and prints whether the reply arrived. If a reply arrives subsequent to this, it is logged as a level 2 event. The link must be up and operational in order to do the echo test. See also the discard test.
