Major Tasks for Setting Up a PPPoE Tunnel (Task Maps)

The following tables list the major tasks for configuring PPPoE clients and the PPPoE access server. To implement PPPoE at your site, you need to set up only your end of the PPPoE tunnel, either the client side or access-server side.

Table 6-1 Task Map for Setting Up a PPPoE Client

Task
Description
For Instructions
1. Configure an interface for PPPoE
Define the Ethernet interface to be used for the PPPoE tunnel.
2. Configure information about the PPPoE access server
Define parameters for the access server at the service provider end of the PPPoE tunnel.
3. Set up the PPP configuration files
Define the PPP configuration files for the client, if you have not done so already.
4. Create the tunnel
Call the access server.

Table 6-2 Task Map for Setting Up a PPPoE Access Server

Task
Description
For Instructions
1. Set up a PPPoE access server
Define the Ethernet interface to be used for the PPPoE tunnel and define the services that the access server offers.
2. Set up the PPP configuration files
Define the PPP configuration files for the client, if you have not done so already.
3. (Optional) Restrict use of an interface
Use PPPoE options and PAP authentication to restrict use of a particular Ethernet interface to certain clients.
