Prerequisites for Setting Up the PPPoE Client

    Before you set up the PPPoE client, you must have done the following:

  • Installed Oracle Solaris release on the client systems to use the PPPoE tunnel.

  • Contacted the service provider for information about its PPPoE access server.

  • Had the telephone company or service provider assemble the devices that are used by the client systems. These devices include, for example, the DSL modem and the splitter, which the telephone company rather than you might assemble.

To provide PPP to client systems over DSL, you must first configure PPPoE on the interface that is connected to the modem or hub. Then you need to change the PPP configuration files to define the access server on the opposite end of the PPPoE.
