Monitoring PPP Interfaces (Talk 5)

Packets

Indicates the total number of ECP packets transmitted (out) and received (in) over the current point-to-point interface.

Octets

Indicates the total number of bytes transmitted and received in the

ECP packets.

Reset Reqs

Indicates the number of Reset requests transmitted and received on this interface. A Reset Request will be sent whenever ECP discard an EDP packet.

Note: Because DES, the only supported encryption algorithm, does not send reset requests this number will be zero.

Reset Acks

Indicates the reset acknowledgments transmitted and received on this interface. A Reset Ack packet will be sent for every Reset Request packet received.

Note: Because DES, the only supported encryption algorithm, does not send any Reset Requests this number will be zero.

Prot Rejects

Indicates the total number of protocol reject packets transmitted and received over the current point-to-point interface.

Local (transmit) encrypter

This encryption algorithm will be used to encrypt the data being sent on this point-to-point interface.

Remote (receive) encrypter

This encryption algorithm will be used to decrypt the received data on this point-to-point interface.

edp Lists statistics associated with the ECP-encrypted packets being sent or received on the interface.

Example:

Packets

Indicates the total number of IP packets transmitted (out) and received (in) over the current point-to-point interface.

Octets

Indicates the total number of octets of data bytes transmitted and received over the current IP connection.

Encrypted Octets

Indicates the number of encrypted octets transmitted or received on this interface.

Discarded Packets

Indicates the number of packets that were discarded because they could not be successfully decrypted.
