LCP The link is in LCP negotiation. This state occurs when first
bringing up an interface. The interface may be in self-test at
this time.
Authenticate

ECP The link is negotiating an ECP encryption algorithm.
Note: Encryption support is optional. If your software load
does not include encryption, you will not see
encryption-related parameters.

traffic associated with can flow after successful NCP
negotiation.
Terminate
The link is being shut down.
LCP State
Displays the current state of the point-to-point link. These states
include the following:
OPEN - Indicates that a connection has been made and data can
be sent. The retry timer does not run in this state.
CLOSED - Indicates that the link is down and no attempt is being
made to open it. In this state, all connection requests from peers
are rejected.
LISTEN - Indicates that the link is down and no attempt is being
made to open it. In contrast to the CLOSED state, however, all
connection requests from peers are accepted.
REQUEST-SENT - Indicates that an active attempt is being made
to open the link. A Configure-request packet has been sent but a
Configure-Ack has not yet been received nor has one been sent.
The retry timer is running at this time.
ACK-RECEIVED - Indicates that a Configure-request packet has
been sent and a Configure-Ack packet has been received. The retry
timer is still running since a Configure-Ack packet has not been
transmitted.
ACK-SENT - Indicates that a Configure-Ack packet and a
Configure-request packet have been sent but a Configure-Ack
packet has not been received. The retry timer always runs in this
state.
CLOSING - Indicates that an attempt is being made to close the
connection. A Terminate-request packet has been sent but a
Terminate-Ack packet has not been received. The retry timer is
running in this state.
