Example of a PPPoE Server Configuration

To implement the business arrangement FarISP has with Phone East, the system administrator at FarISP configures the access server dslserve. This server has the following four interfaces:

• eri0 – Primary network interface that connects to the local network

• hme0 – Interface through which FarISP provides Internet service for its customers

• hme1 – Interface contracted by MiddleCo for authenticated PPPoE tunnels

• hme2 – Interface contracted by other customers for their PPPoE tunnels
