What does the letter "R" indicate in the menu of PPP Active Connections?

The letter "R" in the menu of PPP Active Connections signifies "Radius." In the context of Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connections, this letter indicates that the connection is managed through a Radius server, which is commonly used for authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) purposes.

When a user attempts to initiate a PPP connection, the Radius server validates their credentials and provides access based on the configured policies. This process is integral to managing user sessions and ensuring secure connections over a network. Understanding this allows network administrators to effectively monitor and manage active PPP sessions, particularly in larger networks where Radius is frequently deployed to centralize user management.

The other options relate to different concepts but do not accurately represent the function indicated by the "R" in this specific context. For example, while "Running" could describe the status of a connection, it is not the terminology used in the PPP Active Connections menu. Similarly, "Remote" and "Response" do not directly relate to the management and authentication aspects intrinsic to PPP connections overseen by a Radius server.
