Configuring a PPPoE session
PPP can run over Ethernet (PPPoE). The active discovery protocol identifies the PPP remote peer on the Ether-
net and establishes a PPPoE session with it. The PPPoE session provides a logical point-to-point link that to
runs PPP as if it was a physical point-to-point link (e.g. a serial link).
This procedure describes how to configure an Ethernet port and a session for PPPoE

Purpose
Sets the credentials to be provided during the
authentication procedure: the user name user
and the password password .
The keywords 'inbound' and 'outbound' define
the direction of authentication:
'inbound': The local peer checks the creden-
•
tials that the remote peer sends.
'outbound': The local peer sends its creden-
•
tials if the remote peer requests them.
The following restrictions apply to the direction of
authentication:
- PPP over Ethernet: 'outbound' only
•
- PPP over Serial: 'inbound only'
•
Binds the subscriber to the IP interface to be used
for this PPP connection. The IP interface must
already exist and shall have the configuration as
outlined in section
"Creating an IP interface for
PPP" on page 267.
