If your service provider charges by the hour, you may want a PPPoE session to
timeout after a period of no traffic. However, if you do use a timeout, bringing up a
PPPoE session takes 2-3 seconds longer.
To permanently allocate a channel, use:
-> remote setminline 1 <remotename>
To set up a timeout, set the minline value to 0 and specify the timeout period in
seconds, as follows:
-> remote setminline 0 <remotename>
-> remote settimer <seconds> <remotename>
Sample PPPoE Configuration Script
The following script is an example showing commands for a PPPoE configuration.
The script assumes the following:
• The VPI/VCI for the connection is 0/35.
• The domain name for the service is DialUpPPP.net.
• The CHAP user name is JaneDoe and the CHAP password is Secret.
• Network Address Translation is desired for the PPPoE session.
• Only PPPoE traffic should pass through the bridge interface.
• Default IP route is used for the PPPoE session.
# Sample PPPoE Configuration Script
# ---------------------------------
# Enable IP routing for the Ethernet interface.
eth ip enable
#
# Define a remote router entry (named PPPoEbridge) to serve as
# the bridge for PPPoE traffic only.
remote add PPPoEbridge
#
# Set the link protocol (PPP, RFC 1483, RFC 1490).
remote setprotocol rfc1483mer PPPoEbridge
#
# Specify the VPI/VCI for ATM. (For Frame Relay, you would set the DLCI).
