Remote-id

Enter a string of up to 63 ASCII characters that the Switch adds into the

 

 

 

Agent Remote ID sub-option for PPPoE discovery packets received on this

 

 

 

VLAN on the specified port. Spaces are allowed.

 

 

 

If you do not specify a string here or in the Remote-idfield for a specific

 

 

 

port, the Switch automatically uses the PPPoE client’s MAC address.

 

 

 

The Remote ID you configure for a specific VLAN on a port has the highest

 

 

 

priority.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The

 

 

 

Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the

 

 

 

Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-

 

 

 

volatile memory when you are done configuring.
