Host-initiated network structure

As shown in
carrier router (PPPoE server). The service provider assigns an account to each host for billing and
control. The host must be installed with PPPoE client software.

Protocols and standards

RFC 2516: A Method for Transmitting PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE)

Restrictions: Hardware compatibility with IPoE

•
PPPoE is only supported by CSPEX cards.
•
The PPPoE server supports the following interfaces:
Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces/subinterfaces.
Layer 3 aggregate interfaces/subinterfaces.
L3VE interfaces/subinterfaces.

Restrictions and guidelines: PPPoE configuration

•
The device can only act as a PPPoE server.
•
Make sure the statistics polling interval is 300 seconds when you configure the PPPoE server.
For more information about the statistics polling interval, see Ethernet interface configuration in
Interface Configuration Guide.
•
Set the keepalive interval on the VT interface to no less than 60 seconds when the following
requirements are met:
You need to separate the accounting for IPv4 and IPv6 traffic of a PPPoE user.
The PPPoE user goes online through a Layer 3 aggregate interface or a Layer 3 aggregate
subinterface.
For more information about the keepalive interval on a VT interface, see
Figure 87, a PPPoE session is established between each host (PPPoE client) and the
