•
Point-to-Point Admin Status — Indicates whether a point-to-point link is established, or if the device is per-

–
Enable — The device is permitted to establish a point-to-point link, or is configured to automatically
establish a point-to-point link. To establish communications over a point-to-point link, the originating PPP
first sends
Link Control Protocol (LCP) packets to configure and test the data link. After a link is
established and optional facilities are negotiated as needed by the LCP, the originating PPP sends
Network Control Protocol (NCP) packets to select and configure one or more network layer protocols.
When each of the chosen network layer protocols has been configured, packets from each network layer
protocol can be sent over the link. The link remains configured for communications until explicit LCP or
NCP packets close the link, or until some external event occurs. This is the actual switch port link type. It
may differ from the administrative state.
–
Disable — Disables point-to-point link.
•
Point-to-Point Operational Status — Displays the point-to-point operating state.
