Setup guide

interface (name) - interface the PPPoE server can be connected through
mtu (integer; default: 1480) - Maximum Transmission Unit. The optimal value is the MTU of the
interface the tunnel is working over decreased by 20 (so, for 1500-byte ethernet link, set the MTU
to 1480 to avoid fragmentation of packets)
mru (integer; default: 1480) - Maximum Receive Unit. The optimal value is the MTU of the
interface the tunnel is working over decreased by 20 (so, for 1500-byte ethernet link, set the MTU
to 1480 to avoid fragmentation of packets)
user (text; default: "") - a user name that is present on the PPPoE server
password (text; default: "") - a user password used to connect the PPPoE server
profile (name) - default profile for the connection
allow (multiple choice: mschap2, mschap1, chap, pap; default: mschap2, mschap1, chap, pap) -
the protocol to allow the client to use for authentication
service-name (text; default: "") - specifies the service name set on the access concentrator. Leave it
blank unless you have many services and need to specify the one you need to connect to
ac-name (text; default: "") - this may be left blank and the client will connect to any access
concentrator that offers the "service" name selected
add-default-route (yes | no; default: no) - whether to add a default route automatically
dial-on-demand (yes | no; default: no) - connects to AC only when outbound traffic is generated
and disconnects when there is no traffic for the period set in the idle-timeout value
use-peer-dns (yes | no; default: no) - whether to set the router's default DNS to the PPP peer DNS
(i.e. whether to get DNS settings from the peer)
Notes
If there is a default route, add-default-route will not create a new one.
Example
To add and enable PPPoE client on the gig interface connecting to the AC that provides testSN
service using user name john with the password password:
[admin@RemoteOffice] interface pppoe-client> add interface=gig \
\... service-name=testSN user=john password=password disabled=no
[admin@RemoteOffice] interface pppoe-client> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 R name="pppoe-out1" mtu=1480 mru=1480 interface=gig user="john"
password="password" profile=default service-name="testSN" ac-name=""
add-default-route=no dial-on-demand=no use-peer-dns=no
Monitoring PPPoE Client
Command name: /interface pppoe-client monitor
Property Description
status (text) - status of the client
• Dialing - attempting to make a connection
• Verifying password... - connection has been established to the server, password verification in
progress
• Connected - self-explanatory
