180 CHAPTER 13: CONFIGURING PPPOE CLIENT
implement the client dial-up function of PPPoE), so the subscribers can access the
Internet without installing a PPPoE client software on PCs. Furthermore, all the PCs
on the same LAN can share an ADSL account.
Figure 52 Networking for PPPoE
As shown in the above figure, the PCs on an Ethernet are connected to a 3Com
Router running PPPoE client. The data destined for the Internet first reach the
router where PPPoE encapsulates the data, and then go through the ADSL access
server via the ADSL Modem attached to the router, and finally access the Internet.
The overall Internet-accessing process can be implemented, without requiring the
subscribers to install any PPPoE client dial-up software.
Configure PPPoE
Client The fundamental PPPoE configuration includes:
Configure dialer interface
Configure PPPoE session
The high-level PPPoE configuration includes:
Reset or delete PPPoE session
1Configure Dialer Interface
Before configuring a PPPoE session, you should configure a dialer interface and a
dialer bundle on the interface. Each PPPoE session should uniquely associates with
a dialer bundle, which is uniquely associated to a dialer interface. In other words,
only a PPPoE session can be created on a dialer interface.
Perform the commands dialer-rule and interface dialer in system view and
other commands in dialer interface view.
