Configure PPPoE Client 181
Depending on the needs, it is probably required to configure the parameters such
as PPP authentication on a dialer interface. The dialer interface configuration will
not be covered in this section, however. Please see Operation Manual - Dial-up for
reference.
2 Configure PPPoE Session
Perform the following configuration in Ethernet interface view.
Table 214 Configure PPPoE session
The 3Com Router support two types of PPPoE connections, which are permanent
connections and packet-triggered connections.
■ In permanent connection, the router will originate a PPPoE call to automatically
and immediately set up a PPPoE session. And this session will be always in place
unless the user uses the
undo pppoe-client command to delete it.
■ In packet-triggered connection, the router will not originate a PPPoE call
immediately. Instead, the router will originate a PPPoE call to establish a PPPoE
session only when there is data waiting for transmission. And the router will
automatically terminate the PPPoE session if the PPPoE link has been idle for
the specified period.
3 Reset or delete PPPoE Session
Perform the reset pppoe-client command in all views and the undo
pppoe-client
command in Ethernet interface view.
Table 215 Reset or delete PPPoE session
The commands reset pppoe-client and undo pppoe-client differ in the sense
that the former only resets a PPPoE session temporarily whereas the latter deletes
a PPPoE session permanently.
If a permanent PPPoE session has been reset by executing the reset
pppoe-client
command, the router will automatically re-establish the PPPoE
session 16 seconds later. If a packet-triggered PPPoE session has been reset by
executing the same command, however, the router will re-establish the session
only when there is data waiting for transmission.
