The pppoe-server service-name-type command configures a service name matching mode.
The undo pppoe-server service-name-type command restores the default service name matching mode.
By default, approximate string matching is used for service names.
This command is supported only on the NetEngine 8000 F1A.
Usage Scenario
A PPPoE client and server negotiate the service name during PPPoE negotiation. PPPoE negotiation is successful only if the client and server have the same service name configured. A PPPoE server can have different service names configured to carry different types of services.
A VT can have a maximum of eight service names configured. To configure a service name matching mode, run the pppoe-server service-name-type command. **Table 1 ** Service name matching mode in a VTMatching Mode | Client | VT | Matching Result |
