Command Reference Updates

This section describes the changed portions of modified commands and output screens. The new parameters and options are shown in bold for modified commands.

add ppp acservice

Syntax ADD PPP ACSERVICE=service-nameTEMPLATE=ppp-template[ACRADIUS={OFFON}] [MAXSESSIONS=1..512]

[ACINTerface={NONEinterface}]

where:

■interface is an interface name formed by concatenating an interface type and an interface instance (e.g. eth0). Valid interface types are ETH and VLAN.

Description This command adds a new PPP over Ethernet Access Concentrator service to the router or switch. PPPoE hosts are able to connect to the router or switch using this service.

To allow a PPPoE host to be defined on the router or switch as well as on an Access Concentrator service, the acinterface parameter must be used. The acinterface parameter specifies the interface to be used by the Access Concentrator service. If none is specified, the Access Concentrator service uses all valid interfaces. A service can be offered on several interfaces, but it is necessary to issue one add ppp acservice command for each interface. For example:

add ppp acservice=bob template=1 acint=eth0

add ppp acservice=bob template=1 acint=vlan5

To offer the service on all the Ethernet interfaces only, there is no need to use the acinterface parameter, as it defaults to none.

The acinterface parameter supercedes the now deprecated vlan parameter in this command.
