8.6.3 Monitoring PPPoE Client

Command name: /interface pppoe-client monitor

Property Description

ac-mac(MAC address) - MAC address of the access concentrator (AC) the client is connected to ac-name(text) - name of the AC the client is connected to

encoding (text) - encryption and encoding (if asymmetric, separated with '/') being used in this connection

mru (read-only: integer) - effective MRU of the link

mtu (read-only: integer) - effective MTU of the link service-name(text) - name of the service the client is connected to status (text) - status of the client

dialing - attempting to make a connection

verifying password... - connection has been established to the server, password verification in progress connected - self-explanatory

terminated - interface is not enabled or the other side will not establish a connection uptime (time) - connection time displayed in days, hours, minutes and seconds

Example

To monitor the pppoe-out1connection:

[admin@AT-WR4562] interface pppoe-client> monitor pppoe-out1 status: "connected"

uptime: 6s idle-time: 6s

encoding: "MPPE128 stateless" service-name: "testSN"

ac-name: "AT-WR4562" ac-mac: 00:0C:42:04:00:73

mtu: 1480

mru: 1480 [admin@AT-WR4562] interface pppoe-client>

8.6.4 PPPoE Server Setup (Access Concentrator)

Submenu level: /interface pppoe-server server

Description

The PPPoE server (access concentrator) supports multiple servers for each interface - with differing service names. Currently the throughput of the PPPoE server has been tested to 160 Mb/s on a Celeron 600 CPU. Using higher speed CPUs, throughput should increase proportionately.

The access concentrator name and PPPoE service name are used by clients to identity the access concentrator to register with. The access concentrator name is the same as the identity of the router displayed before the command prompt. The identity may be set within the /system identity submenu.
