Trace outputs may be used to monitor the internal processes in the router during or after configuration. One such trace can be used to display the individual steps involved in negotiating the PPP. Experienced users may interpret these outputs to trace any errors occurring in the establishment of a connection. A particular advantage of this is: The errors being tracked may stem from the configuration of your own router or that of the remote site.
Note: The trace outputs are slightly delayed after the actual event, but are
always in the correct sequence. This will not usually hamper interpretation of the
displays but should be taken into consideration if making precise analyses.
