Configure Remote Site Profiles for PPPoE
Remote Site Profiles allow for the router to be configured to support
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) client on the router. The PPPoE feature
on the Perle routers provide a PPPoE client support on Ethernet
interfaces to a bridging DSL modem to the Internet. This feature will
create a PPP tunnel to an ISP located somewhere on the ATM network
side of the xDSL modem. This feature eliminates the hassle and
potential error of running a PPPoE client on each LAN workstation
that requires Internet access.
The following steps must be performed in order for the router to be
configured for PPPoE connection. The remote site set-up for the
PPPoE should refer to the section for Configure Remote Site Profiles
for Leased Line PPP as the initial guideline for setting up a remote site
configuration for PPP. Afterwards the following steps transform the
PPP remote site connection to a unique PPPoE remote site
configuration.

The Auto-Call field will be automatically setup to be enabled when a
LAN interface is selected as the primary link. This will allow the
PPPoE connection to be established automatically upon boot-up of the
router.
