NAME
pppoesd - PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) server daemon
SYNOPSIS
pppoesd [-c config-file][
-d debug-level ][-l log-file]
DESCRIPTION
pppoesd performs the server side discovery phase functionalities of PPPoE as mentioned in RFC 2516.
The pppoesd daemon responds to PADI and PADR packets from clients if it can offer services desired by
the client. pppoesd generates a unique session-id for every client that it services. It then forks a
pppd
daemon which performs the session phase functionalities of PPPoE as mentioned in RFC 2516.
Options
pppoesd supports the following command-line options:
-c config-file Specifies the configuration file with absolute path to be used by
pppoesd. The

-d debug-level Specifies the debug level at which logging has to be enabled. The three debug
levels 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.
-l log-file Specifies the log-file with absolute path to which pppoesd logs messages. The
default log file is /var/adm/pppoesd.log
.
