How to Obtain Diagnostic Information From pppd


Note - PPP was removed in the Oracle Solaris 11.4 SRU 24 release.

The following procedure shows how to view the current operation of a link on the local system.

  1. Become an administrator on the local system.

    For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.4.

  2. Run pppd with the serial device configured for PPP as the argument:
    # pppd cua/b debug updetach

    The following examples show the resulting displays for a dial-up link and a leased-line link when pppd runs in the foreground. If you run pppd debug in the background, the output that is produced is sent to the /etc/ppp/connect-errors file.

Example 1  Output From a Properly Operating Dial-Up Link
