Terminate tries
Sets the number of terminate-request packets sent by NCP to a
peer station to close a PPP link. The range is 1 to 100. The default
value is 10.
This action indicates the desire to close an NCP connection. The
retry timer is started after a terminate-request packet is transmitted.
This is done to guard against packet loss.
Retry timer
Sets the amount of time, in milliseconds, that elapses before NCP’s
transmission of configure-request (to open the link) and
terminate-request (to close the link) packets is timed out. Expiration
of this timer causes a timeout and the halting of configure-request
and terminate-request packet transmission. The range is 200 to
30000 milliseconds. The default is 3000 milliseconds.
Accessing the Interface Monitoring Process
To access the PPP interface monitoring process, do the following:

Point-to-Point Monitoring Commands
This section summarizes and then explains the Point-to-Point monitoring
commands. Enter the commands at the PPP> prompt. Table 63 shows the
commands.
Note: The options available for these commands depend on what protocols are
available in the router software. For example, when the router software
(image) does not contain APPN support, the list isrcp, list isr, list hprcp,
list hpr, and llc commands are not available.
