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.

and variables (specified in the option field) to PADI or PADR packets from

You can enter up to 53 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.

 

 

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.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
