IP Allocation Mode – This field specifies how IP adresses for the
PPPoE tunnel are configured on the RJ-45 interface. The
allocation mode depends on the type of service p rovided by the
PPPoE server. If automatic mode is selected, DHCP is used to
allocate the IP addresses for the PPPoE connection. If static
addresses have been assigned to you by the service provider,
you must manually enter the assigned addresses. (Default:
Automatic)
•Automatically allocated: IP addresses are dynamically
assigned by the service provider during PPPoE session
initialization.
•Static assigned: Fixed addresses are assigned by the service
provider for both the local and remote IP addresses.
Local IP Address – IP address of the local end of the PPPoE
tunnel. (Must be entered for static IP allocation mode.)
Remote IP Address – IP address of the remote end of the PPPoE
tunnel. (Must be entered for static IP allocation mode.)
CLI Commands for PPPoE – From the CLI configuration mode,
use the interface ethernet command to access interface
configuration mode. Use the ip pppoe command to enable
PPPoE on the Ethernet interface. Use the other PPPoE
commands shown in the example below to set a user name and
password, IP settings, and other PPPoE parameters as required
by the service provider. The pppoe restart command can then
be used to start a new connection using the modified setting s. To
display the current PPPoE settings, use the show pppoe
command from the Exec mode.
