Command Line Interface
Command Usage
The access point uses a PPPoE connection, or tunnel, only for management traffic between the access point and a remote PPPoE server (typically at an ISP). Examples of management traffic that may initiated by the access point and carried over a PPPoE tunnel are RADIUS, Syslog, or DHCP traffic.
Example
AP#
pppoe ip allocation mode
This command specifies how IP addresses for the PPPoE tunnel are configured on this interface.
Syntax
pppoe ip allocation mode {automatic static}
•automatic - IP addresses are dynamically assigned by the ISP during PPPoE session initialization.
•static - Fixed addresses are assigned by the ISP for both the local and remote IP addresses.
Default Setting
automatic
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet)
Command Usage
The IP address allocation mode depends on the type of service provided by the ISP. If automatic mode is selected, DHCP is used to allocate the IP addresses for the PPPoE connection. If static addresses have been assigned to by the ISP, these must be entered using the pppoe local ip and pppoe remote ip commands.
