How to Configure the Access Server's Interfaces for PPPoE

  1. Become superuser on the access server.

  2. Add the name of the Ethernet interfaces that are dedicated to the PPPoE tunnels to the /etc/ppp/pppoe.if file.

    For example, you would use the following /etc/ppp/pppoe.if file for the access server dslserve that is shown in Example—Configuration for a PPPoE Tunnel.


    # cat /etc/ppp/pppoe.if
hme1
hme2

  3. Configure the interfaces for PPPoE use.


    # /etc/init.d/pppd start

  4. (Optional) Verify that interfaces on the server are now plumbed for PPPoE.


    # /usr/sbin/sppptun query
hme1:pppoe
hme1:pppoed
hme2:pppoe
hme2:pppoed

    The previous sample shows that interfaces hme1 and hme2 are currently plumbed for PPPoE. You can also use the /usr/sbin/sppptun command to manually plumb interfaces for PPPoE. For instructions, refer to /usr/sbin/sppptun Command.
