Parameters
dial-bundle-number number: Specifies the dialer bundle number corresponding to a PPPoE session, in
the range of 1 to 255. A dialer bundle number uniquely identifies a PPPoE session, it can also be used
as a PPPoE session ID.
no-hostuniq: Specifies the client not to carry the Host-Uniq field. By default, the Host-Uniq field is carried.
idle-timeout seconds: Specifies the PPPoE session idle time. The seconds argument ranges from 1 to
65535. If this option is specified, the PPPoE session works in packet-triggered mode; if this option and the
diagnose keyword are not specified, the PPPoE session established works in permanent mode.
queue-length packets: Specifies the number of the packets that can be cached before the PPPoE session
is established. The packets argument ranges from 1 to 100 and defaults to 10. This option becomes valid
only when the idle-timeout keyword is configured.
Description
Use pppoe-client to establish a PPPoE session and specify the dialer bundle corresponding to the session.
Use undo pppoe-client to remove a PPPoE session.
By default, no PPPoE session is established.
You can establish multiple PPPoE sessions on an Ethernet interface, or an Ethernet interface can belong
to multiple dialer bundles. However, a dialer bundle can correspond to only one Ethernet interface. Each
PPPoE session uniquely corresponds to a dialer bundle. If an Ethernet interface in a dialer bundle of a
dialer interface is used to establish a PPPoE session, you cannot add any interfaces to the dialer bundle.
Likewise, if a dialer bundle contains interfaces other than the PPPoE Ethernet interface, this dialer bundle
can not be added to an Ethernet interface operating as a PPPoE client.
A PPPoE session operates in one of these three modes: permanent, packet-triggered, and diagnostic.
• Permanent mode—If you execute the pppoe-client command without specifying the idle-timeout
seconds option or the diagnose keyword, the firewall initiates a PPPoE call to establish a PPPoE
session immediately if the physical line is up. After the PPPoE session is established, it can only be
terminated by the undo pppoe-client command.
• Packet-triggered mode—If you execute the pppoe-client command with the idle-timeout seconds
option specified, the firewall tries to establish the PPPoE session only when it has data to transmit.
For a PPPoE session working in this mode, if no data is transmitted across it within the period
specified by the seconds argument, the PPPoE session will be terminated automatically.
• Diagnostic mode—If you execute the pppoe-client command with the diagnose keyword specified,
the firewall initiates a PPPoE call to establish a PPPoE session immediately after this command is
configured, and terminates the current PPPoE session and then establishes another PPPoE session
each time the interval specified by interval seconds expires. By periodically establishing and
terminating PPPoE sessions, this function can be used to detect whether the PPPoE link is normal.
Only one diagnostic PPPoE session can be established on each device.
