After you configure the Novell® Internet Access Server 4.1 routing software, verify that your router is configured in the way you intended. Using the monitoring and management tools available, you can view whether your router is working correctly according to your configuration. This topic contains the following sections:
To view the Remote System ID and Password parameters at the receiving end, complete the following steps:
Load NIASCFG and follow this path:
Select Configure NIAS > Protocols and Routing > Network Interfaces > PPP interface you want to view
The PPP Network Interface Configuration window appears.
Select the following path:
Authentication Options > Authentication Database > system entry you want to view
The PPP Inbound Authentication window appears.
Look at the Remote System ID parameter.
To view the Remote System ID parameter at the calling end, load NIASCFG and follow this path:

To find out whether data compression is turned on and what the compression ratio is for an active interface, load MONITOR and follow this path:
Select LAN/WAN Information > interface you want to view
If the Compression Algorithm in the Custom Statistics field on the MONITOR window has a value other than 0, you can also find the Send Compression Ratio and Receive Compression Ratio fields if data is being sent or received.
You can use PPPCON to determine which compression algorithm is being used. Load PPPCON and follow this path:
Select PPP Interfaces > interface you want to view > PPP Negotiated Parameters
The PPP Negotiated Parameters window displays the Data Compression Algorithm in use, if applicable.
To see which options were negotiated for a PPP WAN link, load PPPCON and follow this path:
Select PPP Interfaces > interface you want to view > PPP Negotiated Parameters
