Monitoring PPP Interfaces

Use the following versions of the show ppp interface command to monitor PPP interfaces:

show ppp interface
show ppp interface summary

You can set a statistics baseline for PPP interfaces using the baseline ppp commands. Use the optional delta keyword with PPP show commands to show baselined statistics.

You can use the output filtering feature of the show command to include or exclude lines of output based on a text string that you specify. Refer to the show Commands in JUNOSe System Basics Configuration Guide, for details.

Note: The E120 router and E320 router output for monitor and show commands is identical to output from other E-series routers, except that the E120 and E320 router output also includes information about the adapter identifier in the interface specifier (slot/adapter/port).

baseline ppp interface

Use to establish a baseline for PPP statistics on an interface.
The router implements the baseline by reading and storing the statistics at the time the baseline is set, then subtracting this baseline whenever baseline-related statistics are retrieved.
Use the optional delta keyword with PPP show commands to show baselined statistics.
Exampleshost1#baseline ppp interface atm 3/3.20 host1#baseline ppp interface atm 3/0/3.20
There is no no version.
See baseline ppp interface.

show ppp interface

Use to display selective PPP interface information.
You can filter the command display for characteristics of particular interest, such as interface type, data type, configured protocol, or interface state.
