SLIP/PPP Problems
4-14
Checking the Port’s PPP/IPX Configuration
Type SHOW PORT n LCP CHARACTERISTICS and SHOW PORT n IPXCP
CHARACTERISTICS to check the current PPP characteristics and verify that both LCP
and IPXCP are enabled. Substitute the number of the port for ‘n’.
Monitoring PPP/IPX Negotiations for Failure Reason
If possible, you may want to monitor the port as the PPP negotiations occur after modem
login. Type MONITOR PORT n LCP STATUS or MONITOR PORT n IPXCP STATUS.
If PPP is failing, note the failure reason code in the display. Descriptions of these codes are
in the section Failure Reasons.
Checking to See if PPP/PAP Password Authentication is Enabled
Type SHOW PORT n LCP CHARACTERISTICS. If authentication is enabled, make sure
the PC client user configures the password for the remote node access software in use.
Note that verification of password is case sensitive.
Refer to Chapter 14 for further information on IPX problems.
