Chapter 33. Configuring and Monitoring Point-to-PointProtocol Interfaces
This chapter describes Point-to-Point Protocol interface configuration and
operational commands in the device. Sections in this chapter include:
v“Accessing the Interface Configuration Process”
v“Point-to-Point Configuration Commands” on page466
v“Accessing the Interface Monitoring Process” on page483

Accessing the Interface Configuration Process
Use the following procedure to access the router’s configuration process. This
process gives you access to a specific interface’s
configuration
process.
1. At the OPCON prompt (*), enter the status command to find the PID for
CONFIG. (See page 9 forsample output of the status command.)
2. At the OPCON prompt, enter the OPCON talk command and the PID for
CONFIG. (For more detail on this command, refer to “Chapter 3. The OPCON
Process” on page25.) For example:
*talk 6
After you enter the talk 6 command, the CONFIG prompt (Config>) displays on
the console. If the prompt does not appear when you first enter CONFIG, press
Return again.
3. At the CONFIG prompt, enter the list devices command to display the network
interface numbers for which the router is currently configured. For example:
Config> list devices
Ifc 0 Ethernet CSR 81600, CSR2 80C00, vector 94
Ifc 1 WAN X.25 CSR 81620, CSR2 80D00, vector 93
Ifc 2 WAN X.25 CSR 81640, CSR2 80E00, vector 92
Ifc 3 WAN PPP CSR 381620, CSR2 380D00, vector 125
Ifc 4 WAN Frame Relay CSR 381640, CSR2 380E00, vector 124
Ifc 5 Token Ring CSR 600000, vector 95
4. Record the interface numbers.
5. Enter the CONFIG network command and the number of the interface you want
to configure. For example:
Config> network 1
The appropriate configuration prompt (such as TKR Config> for token-ring), now
displays on the console.
Note: Not all network interfaces are user-configurable. For interfaces that cannot
be configured, you receive the message:
That network is not configurable
