Configuring and Managing Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Ports
Displaying ATCP Counters
Use the SHOW PORT n ATCP Counters command to display ATCP counters for a
port. This command requires no privileges. The counters display shows all the
counters relevant to ATCP protocol operation. Most of this information is useful
as a diagnostic aid. The CONNECT or DISCONNECT command zeroes each of
these counters.
Example: Command to Display the ATCP Counters
The following example shows how to display the ATCP counters:
Local> SHOW PORT 5 ATCP COUNTERS

Fields in the ATCP Counters Display
The following table describes the fields in the ATCP counters display:
Field Description
Negotiation
Successes
The number of times that ATCP has successfully entered a round
of negotiations to bring up AppleTalk since the link was brought
up. Ordinarily the value of this counter is 1. However, you can
reconfigure ATCP and then cause ATCP to renegotiate. This
changes the performance characteristics for the link.
Negotiation
Failures
The number of times that ATCP tried to negotiate the link, but
failed.
Configures in This is the number of ATCP configure-requests received from the
peer.
Configures out The number of ATCP configure-requests sent to the peer from the
access server.
Acks in The number of ATCP configure-acks received from the peer.
