Click the link below to examine the following output from a Linux machine, which shows a configured PPP interface:
Linux Machine Output
- The link-layer protocol (Point-to-Point Protocol=PPP)
- The IP address of the two ends of the PPP connection (128.248.9.157 and 128.248.9.13, respectively)
- The netmask (255.255.0.0)
- The interface status, plus other flags (UP, RUNNING, POINTTOPOINT)
- The maximum transmission unit (MTU), which is the largest link-layer frame the protocol supports (1500 bytes)
- The metric, an artificial number representing the distance between the two ends of the connection. The metric is used by the routing protocols.
- Statistics on packets received (RX)
- Statistics on packets transmitted (TX)
