Is PPP negotiating properly?
If Layer 1 is up and you have the correct VPI/VCI, the next step is to make sure PPP is coming up properly.
To accomplish this, you need to run a series of debug commands on the Cisco DSL Router and interpret the
output. The primary debug you will use is debug ppp negotiation. The following output of this command is
an example of a successful PPP negotiation:
Router#debug ppp negotiation
PPP protocol negotiation debugging is on

Router#
There are four main points of failure in a PPP negotiation:
No response from the remote device (your ISP).1.
Link Control Protocol (LCP) not open2.
Authentication failure3.
IP Control Protocol (IPCP) failure4.
No Response from Your ISP
Your ISP not responding should not be a problem since you already verified that packets are incrementing on
the ATM0 interface in the inbound direction. However, if you see packets incrementing on ATM0 in the
inbound direction, and when you run a debug ppp negotiation you receive the following output, contact your
ISP to verify that packets are being sent to the Cisco DSL Router.
