Displaying PPP Frame Contents

Executing the ppptrace command with the -x option dumps the contents of the PPP frames to display the hexadecimal codes.

To dump the contents of the PPP frames, type:


prompt# ppptrace -x

The 21 at the beginning of the packet in this example indicates that it is an IP packet.
