PPPoE can establish a session when none of the following limits are reached:
Limit for a user on an interface.
Limit for a VLAN on an interface.
Limit on an interface.
Limit on a card. (Distributed devices in standalone or IRF mode.)
Limit on an IRF member device. (Centralized devices in IRF mode.)
Limit on a device. (Centralized devices in standalone mode.)
New maximum number settings apply only to subsequently established PPPoE sessions.
The maximum number of PPPoE sessions supported by a device varies by license or device model.
The maximum number of PPPoE sessions set for a device cannot be greater than the maximum number of PPPoE sessions supported by the device. (Centralized devices in standalone mode.)
The total maximum number of PPPoE sessions set for all cards or IRF member devices cannot be greater than the maximum number of PPPoE sessions supported by the device. (Distributed devices in IRF mode/centralized devices in IRF mode.)
