NAME
pppoec.conf - PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) client configuration file
DESCRIPTION
pppoec.conf is the configuration file for the
pppoec daemon. This file is read by pppoec to initialize
the client. The default file is
/etc/ppp/pppoec.conf
. Note that, you cannot run pppoec without
this configuration file. Each entry in the
pppoec.conf file is separated by a new line. Blank lines and
lines that begin with
# are ignored.
Parameters
pppoec.conf contains the following parameters:
service Specify the name of the service that the client requires. A value of
any
implies that the client is ready to accept any service from the access concentra-
tor.
acname Specify the name of the access concentrator from which you wish to avail ser-
vice.
host-unique Specify a tag used by the client to uniquely associate an access concentrator’s
response (PADO or PADS) to a particular client request (PADI or PADR).
pppoec generates a unique binary value and includes this value in the
Host-Uniq tag in a PADI or PADR packet.
retry-number Specify the number of times pppoec tries to retransmit either a PADI or
PADR packet when an access concentrator does not respond to the client’s
request. The default value is 3.
timeout Specify the timeout value in seconds. pppoec waits for this duration to
receive either a PADO or PADS packet before retransmitting a PADI/PADR
packet. The default value is 15 seconds.
pppd-options Specify the command-line options of pppd. See pppd (1) for more information.
The mru option of pppd will be included and it will be set to 1492.
