Fields in the IPCP Counters Display

The following table describes the fields in the IPCP counters display:

Field

Description

 

 

Negotiation Successes

The number of times that IPCP has

 

successfully entered a round of negotiations

 

to bring up IP since the link was brought up.

 

Ordinarily the value of this counter is 1.

 

However, you can reconfigure IPCP and then

 

cause IPCP to renegotiate. This changes the

 

performance characteristics for the link.

Negotiation Failures

The number of times that IPCP tried to

 

negotiate the link, but failed.

Configures in

This is the number of IPCP configure-

 

requests received from the peer.

Configures out

The number of IPCP configure-requests sent

 

to the peer from the access server.

Acks in

The number of IPCP configure-acks received

 

from the peer.

Acks out

The number of IPCP configure-acks sent to

 

the peer from the access server.
