PPIPEMON(8)

NAME
ppipemon - PPP Monitor for Sangoma WAN Cards

SYNOPSIS
ppipemon { option } ip-address upd-port For flushing specific monitor statistics: ppipemon [ f ] { option } ip-address udp-port For running FT1 specific monitor commands: ppipemon [ t ] { option } ip-address udp-port

DESCRIPTION
ppipemon is a UDP management monitor for PPP. The above section demonstrates the different ways of running the ppipemon command. We will discuss each method in detail below:

ppipemon {option} ip-address udp-port

ip-address
    Specify the Point-to-Point address of your defined PPP interface. To verify this run ifconfig.

udp-port
    Specify the udp-port as defined in device section of the router.conf in /etc directory. No value for this defaults to 9000.

option
    The following are the different monitoring options available to the user:

    g Display PPP general configuration.

    u Display PPP timers and counters.

    a Display PPP authentication configuration.

    i Display IP configuration.

    x Display IPX configuration.

    s Display PPP FSM current state.

    n Display parameters negotiated on last connection or attempt.

    c Display cause for last disconnection.

    c Display Communications error statistics.

    m Display modem status.

    q Run Line trace displaying PPP data.

    qr Run Line trace displaying Raw data.

    ds Display If_Send Driver statistics.(mainly used for debugging purposes)

    di Display Interrupt Driver statistics.(mainly used for debugging purposes)

    dg Display General Driver statistics.(mainly used for debugging purposes)

    j Display the time since last "router start".

    l Display General statistics.

    e Display Communication Error statistics.

    p Display Packet statistics.

    r Display LCP statistics.

    b Display Loopback detection/ LCP error statistics.

    o Display IP Control Protocol (IPCP) statistics.

    y Display IPX Control Protocol (IPXCP) statistics.

    w Display Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) statistics.

    h Display Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) statistics.

ppipemon f {option} ip-address udp-port

f   This option flushes all the values associated with the command specified in the option field.

ip-address
    Specify the Point-to-Point address of your defined PPP interface. To verify this run ifconfig.

udp-port
    Specify the udp-port as defined in device section of the router.conf in /etc directory. No value for this defaults to 9000.

option
    The following are the different options available to the user:

    l Flush General statistics.

    e Flush Communication Error statistics.

    p Flush Packet statistics.

    r Flush LCP statistics.

    b Flush Loopback detection/ LCP error statistics.

    o Flush IP Control Protocol (IPCP) statistics.

    y Flush IPX Control Protocol (IPXCP) statistics.

    w Flush Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) statistics.

    h Flush Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) statistics.

    d Flush all driver specific statistics.

ppipemon t {option} ip-address udp-port

t   This option allows execution of FT1 specific commands specified in the option field.

ip-address
    Specify the Point-to-Point address of your defined PPP interface. To verify this run ifconfig.

udp-port
    Specify the udp-port as defined in device section of the router.conf in /etc directory. No value for this defaults to 9000.

option
    The following are the different FT1 monitoring options available to the user:

    v View status of the FT1 CSU/DSU.

    s Perform self test on the FT1.

    l Peform Line Loop test on the FT1.

    d Perform Digital Loop test on the FT1.

    r Perform Remote test on the FT1.

    o Place FT1 in Operational mode.

EXAMPLES
The following are few examples to illustrate the different usage of the ppipemon command:

ppipemon e 192.168.1.27 9002 :  This displays the communications error statistics.

ppipemon f e  192.138.1.27 9005: This flushes the communications error statistics.

ppipemon t l 192.128.1.27 9004: This runs the line loop test on a FT1 board.
