Configuring a dialer interface

Before establishing a PPPoE session, you must first create a dialer interface and configure a dialer bundle on the interface. Each PPPoE session uniquely corresponds to a dialer bundle and each dialer bundle uniquely corresponds to a dialer interface. A PPPoE session uniquely corresponds to a dialer interface.

Configuring a dialer interface for an IPv4 PPPoE client

Step

Command

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Configure a dialer rule.

dialer-rule dialer-group { protocol-name { deny | permit } | acl acl-number }

3. Create a dialer interface and enter its view.

interface dialer number

4. Create a dialer user.

dialer user username

5. Assign an IP address to the interface.

ip address { address mask | ppp-negotiate }

6. Associate the interface with a dialer bundle.

dialer bundle bundle-number

7. Assign the interface to a dialer group.

dialer-group group-number

Configuring a dialer interface for an IPv6 PPPoE client

Step

Command

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enable IPv6 forwarding.

ipv6

3. Create a dialer interface and enter its view.

interface dialer number

4. Create a dialer user.

dialer user username

5. Specify an IPv6 address for the interface.

See Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

6. Associate the interface with a dialer bundle.

dialer bundle bundle-number

You can also configure PPP authentication or set other parameters on the dialer interface as needed. For more information about dialer interfaces, see "Configuring DCC."
