Missing Virtual-Access1

Level 1

I am new learning the Cisco products and the configuration.   I am needig help trying to figure out why the Virtual-Access1 is mssing.  At one point it was down.  When we reset the router thru the RELOAD process... the Virutal-Access1 was removed.

Here is the configuration and the command...

Hello Donnie,

The Virtual-Access interface is, as the name implies, a virtual interface that is created on demand when the router needs to terminate a connection using some other interface's configuration as a template. Usually, this is done for PPP connections.

In any case, I would not worry at all if you have no connectivity issues. Your router will create the Virtual-Access interface when it needs it. There is no command to create it yourself, nor is any necessary.

Best regards,

Peter
