Displaying SLIP Characteristics

Displaying SLIP Characteristics

Introduction

The LIST/SHOW/MONITOR SLIP CHARACTERISTICS command enables you to display the SLIP configuration for a given port. The characteristics that you manage are the host address, the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) and the compression.

If you change SLIP characteristics while a SLIP session is already established, the changes have no effect until you start a new SLIP session.

Command

Use the SHOW PORT n SLIP CHARACTERISTICS command to display SLIP characteristics.
