VPN

Configuration Guide.

Troubleshooting PPP configuration

Symptom 1

PPP authentication always fails, preventing the link from going up.

Solution

This problem may occur if the parameters for authentication are incorrect.

Enable the debugging of PPP, and you can see the information describing that LCP went up upon a
successful LCP negotiation but went down after PAP or CHAP negotiation.

Check the PPP authentication settings at the local and peer ends to make sure that they are

consistent. See "

Configuring PAP authentication

" and "

Configuring CHAP authentication

" for

reference.

Symptom 2

Physical link is down.

Solution

Check that:

The interface has been brought up.

The interface has not been administratively shut down.

LCP negotiation has passed.

Execute the display interface serial command to check the state of the interface. The output information

can be:

serial number is administratively down, line protocol is down

, which indicates that the

interface is shut down by the administrator.

serial number is down, line protocol is down

, which indicates that the interface is not activated

or the physical layer has not gone up yet.

Virtual-template number is down, line protocol is spoofing up

, which indicates that the

interface is a dialer interface and the call establishment attempt has failed.

serial number is up, line protocol is up

, which indicates that LCP negotiation succeeded.

serial number is up, line protocol is down

, which indicates that the interface is active, but

LCP negotiation failed.

NOTE:

The firewall does not support serial interfaces.
