access-node-

Enter up to 20 ASCII characters to identify the PPPoE intermediate agent. Hyphens (-) and

identifierspaces are also allowed. The default is the Switch’s host name.

 

 

circuit-id

Use this section to configure the Circuit ID field in the PADI and PADR packets.

 

The Circuit ID you configure for a specific port or for a specific VLAN on a port has priority

 

over this.

 

The Circuit ID you configure for a specific port (in the Advanced Application > PPPoE >

 

Intermediate Agent > Port screen) or for a specific VLAN on a port (in the Advanced

 

Application > PPPoE > Intermediate Agent > Port > VLAN screen) has priority over

 

this. That means, if you also want to configure PPPoE IA Per-Port or Per-Port Per-VLAN

 

setting, leave the fields here empty and configure circuit-id and remote-id in the Per-Port or

 

Per-Port Per-VLAN screen.

 

 

Active

Select this option to have the Switch add the user-defined identifier string and variables

 

(specified in the option field) to PADI or PADR packets from PPPoE clients.

 

If you leave this option unselected and do not configure any Circuit ID string (using CLI

 

commands) on the Switch, the Switch will use the string specified in the access-node-

 

identifier field.

 

 

identifier-

Specify a string that the Switch adds in the Agent Circuit ID sub-option. You can enter up to

string53 ASCII characters. Spaces are allowed.

 

 

option

Select the variables that you want the Switch to generate and add in the Agent Circuit ID

 

sub-option. The variable options include sp, sv, pv and spv which indicate combinations of

 

slot-port, slot-VLAN, port-VLAN and slot-port-VLAN respectively. The Switch enters a zero

 

into the PADI and PADR packets for the slot value.

 

 

delimiter

Select a delimiter to separate the identifier-string, slot ID, port number and/or VLAN ID

 

from each other. You can use a pound key (#), semi-colon (;), period (.), comma (,),

 

forward slash (/) or space.
