Configuring a dialer interface
Before establishing a PPPoE session, you must first create a dialer interface and configure a dialer bundle
on the interface. Each PPPoE session uniquely corresponds to a dialer bundle and each dialer bundle
uniquely corresponds to a dialer interface. A PPPoE session uniquely corresponds to a dialer interface.
Configuring a dialer interface for an IPv4 PPPoE client
Ste
p
Command
1. Enter system view.
system-view
2. Configure a dialer rule.
dialer-rule dialer-group { protocol-name { deny | permit }
| acl acl-number }
3. Create a dialer interface and enter its view.
interface dialer number
4. Create a dialer user.
dialer user username
5. Assign an IP address to the interface.
ip address { address mask | ppp-negotiate }
6. Associate the interface with a dialer bundle.
dialer bundle bundle-number
7. Assign the interface to a dialer group.
dialer-group group-number
Configuring a dialer interface for an IPv6 PPPoE client
Ste
p
Command
1. Enter system view.
system-view
2. Enable IPv6 forwarding.
ipv6
3. Create a dialer interface and enter its view.
interface dialer number
4. Create a dialer user.
dialer user username
5. Specify an IPv6 address for the interface.
See "Configuring IPv6 basics."
6. Associate the interface with a dialer bundle.
dialer bundle bundle-number
You can also configure PPP authentication or set other parameters on the dialer interface as needed.
For information about more IPv6-related commands, see "IPv6 basics configuration commands."
Configuring a PPPoE session
PPPoE sessions include these categories:
• Permanent PPPoE session—Established immediately when the line is physically up. It remains valid
till a user terminates it explicitly.
• Packet-triggered PPPoE session—Established when there is a demand for data transmitting. It is
terminated when idled for a specific period of time. That is, a packet-triggered PPPoE session might
not be established even if the line is physically up.
You can establish a PPPoE session on an Ethernet interface or a VE interface created on an ADSL
interface. To enable a device to access the Internet through an ADSL interface, establish a PPPoE session
on a virtual Ethernet interface. To enable a device to access the Internet through an ADSL modem
attached to an Ethernet interface, you must establish the PPPoE session on the Ethernet interface.
