100 packets input, 5600 bytes, 0 no buffer

0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort
250 packets output, 1400 bytes, 0 underruns
0 output errors, 0 collisions, 2 interface resets
0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out
If the input packet counters are incrementing, you should be receiving PPPoE negotiation packets from your
ISP. If this isn't the case, call your ISP.
If the output bound counters are incrementing, you should be sending PPPoE negotiation packets. If this isn't
the case, check the configuration on the router. If PPP is configured properly, PPP negotiation packets are
continually sent out the ATM0 interface.
If packets are incrementing in only the outbound direction, continue with the troubleshooting steps in this
document.
Is a PPPoE session up?
PPPoE is executed in two phases. The first phase is PPPoE session establishment, and the second phase is the
PPP negotiation. PPPoE must be established prior to the negotiation of standard PPP parameters. The easiest
way to determine if you have an active PPPoE session is to issue the show vpdn command.
Router#show vpdn
%No active L2TP tunnels
%No active L2F tunnels
%No active PPTP tunnels

In the example above, no PPPoE sessions are active. This is indicated by an SID of 0, and the RemMAC and
LocMAC of 0000.0000.0000. If you are in this state, proceed to the next section.
A PPPoE session that has been successfully negotiated looks like the following:
Router#show vpdn
%No active L2TP tunnels
%No active L2F tunnels
