How to Provide Services to Clients of the Access Server

  1. Become superuser on the access server.

  2. Define global services that are provided by the access server in the /etc/ppp/pppoe file.

    The following /etc/ppp/pppoe file lists the services that are provided by access server dslserve, which was shown in Figure 30–5.


    device hme1,hme2
service internet
	pppd "proxyarp 192.168.1.1:"
service debugging
	pppd "debug proxyarp 192.168.1.1:"

    In the file example, Internet service is announced for dslserve's Ethernet interfaces hme1 and hme2. Debugging is turned on for PPP links on the Ethernet interfaces.

  3. Set up the PPP configuration files in the same way that you would for a dial-in server.

    For steps to use, see Configuring Communications Over the Dial-in Server.

  4. Start the pppoed daemon.


    # /etc/init.d/pppd start

    pppd also plumbs the interfaces that are listed in /etc/ppp/pppoe.if.
