Telnet Page 6 Link Connections
Telnet Page 6 displays the status of each B channel and the MPPP Protocol
(MultiLink PPP) connection and is updated every 1 second.
NOTE: In all the examples below items enclosed in square brackets '[' are alternative formats that may appear on a display.

KEY
Bundle line:
B = Unit no of Bundle
S= text description of state of Bundle Values of S may be
| Name |
Meaning |
| fre |
Bundle not being used
|
| init
|
Initialising (if bundle is a PROXY this is the
normal state)
|
| open
|
Fully available for transmission and reception of
traffic types indicated by CFG flags
|
| bump
|
Bundle is waiting for a bumped link to be free’d
|
F = Count of fragments currently queued for the bundle
T = current entries on the transmit queue (to be dispatched to the isdn system)
L = Number of links currently connected and active.
Fl = The setting of MP flags used to
control the Bundle
I = Index number of the currently active Time of Day slot.
M = The maximum number of links for the currently active Time of Day slot.
P = The number of Permanent/fixed links for the currently active Time of Day
slot.
R = The remaining minutes before the current Time of Day slot expires (0 =
continuous).
If the bundle is acting as a Proxy for a
ROUTE_MASTER in a HotPools configuration then the IP address (in dotted
decimal) of the MASTER is displayed as ‘Proxy = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ In this case
also the values Fl=, I=, M=, P= and R= are meaningless and are not displayed.
Stats line
tp = number of packets transmitted (all
Links) (includes protocol data).
tb= number of bytes transmitted (all
Links) (includes protocol related
data).
rp= number of packets received by Bundle
(all Links) (includes protocol
data).
rb= number of bytes received by Bundle
(all Links) (includes protocol
data).
C= Number of seconds of contiguous zero
byte transfers for Bundle.
secs= elapsed seconds in current
capacity check period (countdown timer).
NOTE:Stats line
counts tp,tb,rp,rb are reset to 0 at end of each capacity check period.
IPCP line
S= Status of IPCP connection (IP Control Protocol) may be:
| Name |
Meaning |
| init
|
Initial state (not used)
|
| strt
|
Starting
|
| clsd
|
Closed. Connection has been closed for the
transmission of IP data (Connection may still carry other, NON IP, traffic)
|
| stpd
|
Stopped.
|
| clsg
|
Closing
|
| stpg
|
Stopping
|
| rsnt
|
Configuration Request sent
|
| arcv
|
Configure ACK Received
|
| asnt
|
Configure ACK Sent
|
| open
|
Connection (Bundle or single Link) open for
carrying IP traffic
|
NOTE: Above values are defined in rfc 1661. If IPCP not Open
then IP traffic cannot be carried on the connection, even if LCP is fully
active.
L = the logical
Link number on which IPCP was negotiated (may be local or remote).
RIP = Remote IP
address in dotted decimal.
Links may be LOCAL
or REMOTE. If a Link is LOCAL then
LCP stats are displayed (and will be followed by a line providing statistics on
the local physical device e.g. ISDN). In the case of a REMOTE Link ‘Remote’
information is provided. No physical device information is displayed for a
Remote Link (this data is displayed in the peer Router where the Link is
Local).
L = Link number in this Router (if Link is Remote will have a
corresponding link in the Remote (Peer) Router.
P= Phase of connection. Value may be as follows:
| Name |
Meaning |
| wait |
Waiting for response
|
| dead
|
No active connection
|
| estb
|
Connection Established (waiting for Authentication
to complete)
|
| auth
|
Authentication phase (this is the normal state for
a Remote Link)
|
| netw
|
fully available (Authentication completed)
|
| term
|
Terminate (Terminating)
|
Rx= Number of bytes received in previous 8 seconds
Tx= Number of bytes transmitted in previous 8 seconds
T= Make be ‘In’ (in which case call was incoming) or ‘Out’ in
which this router made call.
NOTE: Tx and Rx stats are reset to 0 every 8 seconds.
LCP Information
LCP information is displayed for Local Links only.
S= State of LCP (Link Control Protocol). Value may be
| Name |
Meaning |
| init
|

Remote Link Information
The following fields are displayed for Remote Links:
L= Link number in the Remote (or Peer) Router.
IP= The IP address of the Remote (or Peer) Router containing
this link.
For a remote link the values of Tx and Rx in the ROUTE_MASTER
will not be updated.
ISDN Line
ISDN Line information is displayed for Local Links only.
U= Unit number
P= Port number (B1 or B2)
S= State of ISDN Channel. Values may be :
| Name |
Meaning |
| aval
|
Available (not used)
|
| init
|
