Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
In intra-board Eth-Trunk scenarios, to limit the number of users allowed to go online through a board, run the pppoe-server max-sessions command.When a board is used for BRAS user information backup,the maximum number of users allowed to go online through the board is counted as follows:- The maximum allowable number of users specified by max-sessions <maxsessnum> covers the number of users going online through the board and the number of users backed up from other devices.- If the number of users going online through a board has reached the value specified by max-sessions <maxsessnum>, subsequent users cannot go online through this board. However, user information can still be backed up to this board.
Configuration Impact
If the configured maximum allowable number of users is less than the number of online users on the board, the online users are not affected, but no subsequent users can go online through this board. If an online user goes offline and the number of online users is still greater than the configured maximum allowable number of users, the user cannot go online again.
Precautions
In VS mode, this command is supported only by the admin VS.
The pppoe-server slotid max-sessions maxsessnum command does not take effect in inter-board Eth-Trunk scenarios.
