SLIP/PPP Problems
SLIP Connection Problems
Introduction
You can establish only one datalink session (either SLIP or PPP) on a port at a given time.
If you have a session established, another session is not permitted. In addition, SLIP and
PPP use the same IP address for a port. You can clear this address only when another
datalink session is not using it.
Verify SLIP/CSLIP Enabled
To determine if SLIP is enabled on the access server port, enter the following command.
Substitute the port number for 1:
Local> SHOW PORT 1
Verify Access Server Memory Usage
If you experience connection problems using the SLIP protocol, verify the access server.
See the section Verify Access Server Memory Usage (page 2-6).
Verify Internet Address
If you are unable to connect using the SLIP protocol, verify that the Internet address has
been set on the access server. See the section Ve r if y Internet Address (page 3-2).
Header Compression should be enabled. Use the SHOW PORT SLIP command to
verify that it is enabled.
If enabled, SLIP is displayed in the list under Enabled Characteristics. For more
information on configuring and managing SLIP ports, refer to the Network Access
Software Management Guide.
If you have SLIP/CSLIP enabled, verify that all systems (both ends) have
SLIP/CSLIP enabled; otherwise, significant system degradation will occur.
