	Configure PPPoE Client 181
Assign an IP address to the interface	ip address { address mask
	ppp-negotiate }
Configures a dialer bundle on the	dialer bundle bundle-number
interface
Assigns the interface to a dialer group	dialer-group group-number

Depending on the needs, it is probably required to configure the parameters such as PPP authentication on a dialer interface. The dialer interface configuration will not be covered in this section, however. Please see Operation Manual - Dial-upfor reference.

2Configure PPPoE Session

Perform the following configuration in Ethernet interface view.

Table 214 Configure PPPoE session

Operation	Command
Configure a PPPoE session (permanently	pppoe-client dial-bundle-number number
online)	[ no-hostuniq ]
Configure a PPPoE session (triggered by	pppoe-client dial-bundle-number number
packets)	[ no-hostuniq ] idle-timeout seconds [
	hold-queue packets ]
Delete the PPPoE session	undo pppoe-client dial-bundle-number
	number

The 3Com Router support two types of PPPoE connections, which are permanent connections and packet-triggered connections.

■In permanent connection, the router will originate a PPPoE call to automatically and immediately set up a PPPoE session. And this session will be always in place unless the user uses the undo pppoe-clientcommand to delete it.

■In packet-triggered connection, the router will not originate a PPPoE call immediately. Instead, the router will originate a PPPoE call to establish a PPPoE session only when there is data waiting for transmission. And the router will automatically terminate the PPPoE session if the PPPoE link has been idle for the specified period.

3Reset or delete PPPoE Session

Perform the reset pppoe-clientcommand in all views and the undo pppoe-clientcommand in Ethernet interface view.

Table 215 Reset or delete PPPoE session

Operation	Command
Reset a PPPoE session but it will be re-established	reset pppoe-client { all
later	dial-bundle-number number }
Delete a PPPoE session and it will not be	undo pppoe-client
re-established	dial-bundle-number number

The commands reset pppoe-client and undo pppoe-client differ in the sense that the former only resets a PPPoE session temporarily whereas the latter deletes a PPPoE session permanently.

If a permanent PPPoE session has been reset by executing the reset pppoe-clientcommand, the router will automatically re-establish the PPPoE session 16 seconds later. If a packet-triggered PPPoE session has been reset by executing the same command, however, the router will re-establish the session only when there is data waiting for transmission.
