Configuring PPPoE Access

Configuring PPPoE access allows access control and accounting for hosts.

Usage Scenario

As network data services are developing rapidly, broadband users are increasing explosively. Carriers need an access device that can provide access services for multiple remote hosts and also provide user access control and accounting. Ethernet is the most economical technology for connecting multiple hosts to access devices. PPP provides well-developed user access control and accounting, but it cannot be applied to Ethernet. To address this issue, PPPoE has been developed. PPPoE is a link layer protocol that transmits PPP datagrams through PPP sessions established over point-to-point connections on Ethernet networks. As a supplement to PPP, PPPoE allows a remote access device to provide access services for hosts on Ethernet networks and to implement user access control and accounting. With these features, PPPoE is widely acknowledged among broadband access carriers, and therefore widely applied.

Pre-configuration Tasks

Before configuring PPPoE access, complete the following tasks:

  • Configure AAA schemes.

  • Configure a server template.

  • Configure a local or remote IPv4 address pool.

  • Configure a domain.

  • Configure IP routing.
