NAME
pppoec - PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) client
SYNOPSIS
pppoec -i interface-name
pppoec -i interface-name [
-c config-file][
-d debug-level ][-l log-file][-r retry-number ]
DESCRIPTION
pppoec discovers an access concentrator that is willing to offer services to the client. It obtains a unique
session-id from the selected access concentrator.
pppoec then forks a pppd daemon which performs the
session phase functionalities of PPPoE as mentioned in RFC 2516.
Options
pppoec supports the following options:
-c config-file Specify the configuration file with absolute path to be used by
pppoec. The
default configuration file is
/etc/ppp/pppoec.conf
.
-d debug-level Specify the debug level at which logging has to be enabled. The three debug lev-
els are:
LOG_ERROR Logs all error messages. To log these messages, type -d 0 on the
command line.
LOG_WARN Logs all warning messages. To log these messages, type -d 1 on
the command line.
LOG_DEBUG Logs function level debug messages. To log these messages, type
-d 2 on the command line.
-i interface-name
Specify the name of the network interface (e.g., lan0) to be used for the PPPoE
session.
-l log-file Specify the log file with absolute path, to which pppoec must log all messages.
The default log file is /var/adm/pppoec.log
.
-r retry-number Specify the frequency of PADI (PPPoE Active Discovery Initiation) or PADR
(PPPoE Active Discovery Request) packet retransmission when an access concen-
trator does not respond to the client’s request. The default value is 3.
EXAMPLES
An example usage of the
pppoec command is as follows:
/usr/bin/pppoec -i lan4 -c /tmp/ppp/pppoec.conf -d 2
WARNINGS
Note that, you cannot run the client daemon without /etc/ppp/pppoec.conf file. See pppoec.conf (4)
for more information. Also, do not use
SIGKILL to terminate pppoec. Instead, use SIGTERM to kill
the pppoec client daemon.
