show ppp [{ stats | lcp | ipcp }]
Displays information about open PPP links. You can display a subset of the PPP statistics by including
an optional
stats , lcp , or ipcp argument for the show ppp command.
start ppp vccn
Opens a PPP link on the specified vir tual circuit.
About CONFIG Commands
You reach the configuration mode of the command line inter face by typing configure (or any trunca-
tion of configure , such as con or config ) at the CLI SHELL prompt.
CONFIG Mode Prompt
When you are in CONFIG mode, the CLI prompt consists of the name of the Motorola Netopia® Gateway
followed by your current
node in the hierarchy and two right angle brackets (>>). For example, when you
enter CONFIG mode (by typing config at the SHELL prompt), the Netopia-3000/9437188
(top)>> prompt reminds you that you are at the top of the CONFIG hierarchy. If you move to the ip
node in the CONFIG hierarchy (by typing ip at the CONFIG prompt), the prompt changes to Netopia-
3000/9437188 (ip)>> to identify your current location.
Some CLI commands are not available until cer tain conditions are met. For example, you must enable
IP for an inter face before you can enter IP settings for that inter face.
Navigating the CONFIG Hierarchy
❑ Moving from CONFIG to SHELL — You can navigate from anywhere in the CONFIG hierarchy back
to the SHELL level by entering quit at the CONFIG prompt and pressing R ETURN .
Netopia-3000/9437188 (top)>> quit
Netopia-3000/9437188 >
❑ Moving from top to a subnode — You can navigate from the top node to a subnode by entering
the node name (or the significant letters of the node name) at the CONFIG prompt and pressing
R
ETURN . For example, you move to the IP subnode by entering ip and pressing R ETURN .
Netopia-3000/9437188 (top)>> ip
Netopia-3000/9437188 (ip)>>
As a shor tcut, you can enter the significant letters of the node name in place of the full node name at
the CONFIG prompt. The significant characters of a node name are the letters that uniquely identify the
node. For example, since no other CONFIG node star ts with b, you could enter one letter (“ b ”) to move
to the bridge node.
❑ Jumping down several nodes at once — You can jump down several levels in the CONFIG hierar-
chy by entering the complete path to a node.
❑ Moving up one node — You can move up through the CONFIG hierarchy one node at a time by
entering the up command.
❑ Jumping to the top node — You can jump to the top level from anywhere in the CONFIG hierarchy
by entering the top command.
❑ Moving from one subnode to another — You can move from one subnode to another by entering
a par tial path that identifies how far back to climb.
