Configuring PPP > Viewing PPP Statistics

Viewing PPP Statistics

The NMC-RX application allows you to view and monitor information about PPP interfaces. Once you select a configured device, you list the objects, request statistics, and a Statistics tab is displayed in the work area.

To view PPP statistics:

1. From the Device-wide Explorer, select PPP, right-click, and select List All.

A list of all PPP interfaces configured on the device appears in the list area.

2. From the list, select the interface for which you want to view statistics, right-click, and select Statistics.

The PPP Statistics tab appears (Table 80).
