IBM SC30-3681-08 Point-to-Point Monitoring Commands, Point-to-Point Monitoring Command Summary

Con®guring PPP Interfaces (Talk 6)

Terminate tries

Sets the number of terminate-request packets sent by NCP to a peer station to close a PPP link. The range is 1 to 100. The default value is 10.

This action indicates the desire to close an NCP connection. The retry timer is started after a terminate-request packet is transmitted. This is done to guard against packet loss.

Retry timer

Sets the amount of time, in milliseconds, that elapses before NCP's transmission of con®gure-request (to open the link) and terminate-request (to close the link) packets is timed out. Expiration of this timer causes a timeout and the halting of con®gure-request and terminate-request packet transmission. The range is 200 to 30000 milliseconds. The default is 3000 milliseconds.

Accessing the Interface Monitoring Process

To access the PPP interface monitoring process, do the following:

1.Enter interface at the + prompt to display a list of con®gured interfaces.

2.Enter network followed by the number of the PPP interface.

Point-to-Point Monitoring Commands

This section summarizes and then explains the Point-to-Point monitoring commands. Enter the commands at the PPP> prompt. Table 63 shows the commands.

Note: The options available for these commands depend on what protocols are available in the router software. For example, when the router software (image) does not contain APPN support, the list isrcp, list isr, list hprcp, list hpr, and llc commands are not available.
