Enabling the PPPoE Client
To authenticate the BRAS and request a dynamic IP address, the controller must have the following configured:
l PPPoE user name and password to connect to the DSL network
l PPPoE service name: either an ISP name or a class of service configured on the PPPoE server
When you shut down the VLAN, the PPPoE session terminates.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Network > IP > IP Interfaces page.
2. Click Edit for a previously-created VLAN.
3. Select Obtain an IP address with PPPoE.
4. Enter the service name, username, and password for the PPPoE session.
5. Enter a priority value for the VLAN ID in the Uplink Priority field. All wired uplink interfaces have the same
priority by default. If you want to use an active-standby topology, then prioritize each uplink interfaces by
entering a different priority value (1– 4) for each uplink interface.
6. Click Apply.
In the CLI
In this example, a PPoE service name, username, and password are assigned, and the interface VLAN 14 has an
uplink priority of 3:
(host)(config) #interface vlan 14
ip address pppoe
(host)(config) #interface vlan 14 ip pppoe-service-name <service_name>
(host)(config) #interface vlan 14 ip pppoe-username <username>
(host)(config) #interface vlan 14 ip pppoe-password *****
(host)(config) #uplink wired vlan 14 priority 3
Default Gateway from DHCP/PPPoE
You can specify that the router IP address obtained from the DHCP or PPPoE server be used as the default
gateway for the controller.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Network > IP > IP Routes page.
2. For Default Gateway, select (Obtain an IP address automatically).
3. Click Apply.
In the CLI
(host) (config) #ip default-gateway import
Configuring DNS/WINS Server from DHPC/PPPoE
The DHCP or PPPoE server can also provide the IP address of a DNS server or NetBIOS name server, which can
be passed to wireless clients through the controller’s internal DHCP server.
For example, the following configures the DHCP server on the controller to assign addresses to authenticated
employees; the IP address of the DNS server obtained by the controller via DHCP/PPPoE is provided to clients
along with their IP address.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Network > IP > DHCP Server page.
