Logging PPP Connections
The set ppp log and set ppp nolog commands control the logging of
PPP events. Enable the syslog function must first before the PPP log
records Link Control Protocol (LCP), authentication, and Internet
Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP) packets that are sent or received.
If PPP logging is not enabled, then only connection information is
sent to the syslog.
Displaying the PPP Status
Use the show ppp command to query the status of a PPP connection.
The output of this command depends on the current state of the PPP
connection, as shown in the table below.
Current PPP State
PPP status for the last
connection.
Connection is being
authenticated.
PPP link has been established.
PPP link is terminating.
Output to Console
PPP is waiting for LCP to open.
The message “PPP is
authenticating the host.”
PPP status for the current
connection.
The message “PPP is
terminating.”
If a PPP connection is not currently open, the show ppp command
displays the status of the last connection attempt. If the previous PPP
connection failed, then the reason why it failed is displayed.
Domain Name Service
The switch supports contacting a server running the Domain Name
Service (DNS) to substitute host names instead of network IP
addresses as arguments for most commands.
