SLIP/PPP Problems
Failure Reasons
Introduction
When you display status, a failure reason field appears. Table: Failure Reasons describes
the possible failure reasons.
Failure Reason Description
None No failure reason.
Resources Insufficient resources. This error condition occurs when setting up an address
for a port fails, typically due to insufficient system resources.
Not converging Option negotiations are not converging. The server and attached client are not
currently in agreement as to changing optional values away from their defaults.
This error typically occurs when the client has proposed an option the server
either wishes to NAK (providing a counter-proposal) or REJect the requested
client options.
No peer response The peer is not responding to protocol negotiations. This can occur due to the
client going away or being temporarily stopped. This can also occur if there is a
problem with the connection.
Rx invalid data The server has received what appears to be an invalid packet from the attached
device. This may occur if the client is using a proprietary extension (that is, an
undefined PPP code) or a new PPP code has been defined.
Unauthenticated
IPCP disabled
An attached device fails to properly authenticate itself.
IPCP is disabled on this port.
ATCP disabled ATCP is disabled on this port.
ATK disabled AppleTalk is not enabled on the server. AppleTalk must be defined ENABLED
and the server rebooted.
IPXCP disabled IPXCP is disabled on this port.
LCP disabled LCP is disabled on this port.
Stopped by peer The server side of the PPP link has been stopped by the peer. Typically, this is
the result of the peer sending a Terminate request.
IPX disabled IPX is not enabled on the server. IPX must be either SET or DEFINED (with
reboot) ENABLED.
