Configuring PPPoEoA

PPPoE uses the Client/Server model. It encapsulates PPP packets into Ethernet frames and provides point-to-point connection on Ethernet. Perform this task to enable a PVC or PVC group to carry PPPoE and configure a PPPoE mapping for the PVC or PVC group.

To configure PPPoEoA:

Step

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2. Create a VT interface.

interface virtual-template vt-number

N/A

3. Configure PPP authentication and IP address. For the PPP server, configure an address pool to assign an IP address to the remote node. For the PPP client, configure address negotiation to accept the IP address assigned by the server end.

For more information, see "Configuring PPP and MP."

Configure PPP authentication and IP address on the VT interface instead of an ATM interface. The IP address configuration does not take effect on ATM interfaces.

When you configure a static route for the VT interface, specify the next hop instead of the output interface. If you have to specify an output interface, make sure the physical interface bound to the VT is valid to ensure correct packet transmission.

4. Return to system view.

quit

N/A

5. Create a VE interface.

interface virtual-ethernet interface-number

N/A

6. Configure PPPoE parameters on the VE interface. Bind the PPPoE server to a VT interface, and bind the PPPoE client to a Dialer interface for dial-in access.

For more information, see "Configuring PPPoE."

N/A

7. Return to system view.

quit

N/A

8. Enter ATM interface view or ATM subinterface view.

interface atm { interface-number | interface-number.subnumber }

N/A

9. Enter PVC view or PVC group view.

  • Enter PVC view:pvc { pvc-name [ vpi/vci ] | vpi/vci }

  • Enter PVC group view:pvc-group group-number

N/A

10. Configure a PPPoEoA mapping.

map bridge virtual-ethernet interface-number

By default, no mappings exist.

This command references the VE interface previously created.
