PPP-phases

For each available interface, the Status/PPP-statistics/PPP-phases option provides a list of the current states of PPP protocol negotiation. The table maintained here has the following layout:

Ifc Phase to LCP IPCP IPXCP CCP BACP
Ch01 DEAD Initial Initial Initial Initial Initial
Ch02 DEAD Initial Initial Initial Initial Initial

Below is a detailed description of the meaning of each field:

Ifc Designates the associated channel.
Phase Indicates the current phase of the PPP. The possible values are AUTHENTICAT, NETWORK and TERMINATE.
LCP Status of the 'Link Control Protocol' subprotocol. The possible values are: Initial, Starting, Stopping, Stopped, Closing, Closed, ReqSent, AckRcvd, AckSent and Opened.
IPXCP Similarly to 'LCP', displays the status of the 'IPX Control Protocol' subprotocol
IPCP Similarly to 'LCP', displays the status of the 'IP Control Protocol' subprotocol
CCP Similarly to 'LCP', displays the status of the 'Compression Control Protocol' subprotocol
BACP Similarly to 'LCP', displays the status of the 'Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol' subprotocol

The current PPP phases are shown under Status/PPP-statistics/PPP-phases. As specified above, these phases are the idle (Dead), ready (Establish), access parameter verification (Authenticate) and network phase (Network). In the substatistics, the frames exchanged are encrypted separately by type and quantity.
