remote setBrOptions stp off <remoteName>
In addition, if the remote entry should be used only for PPPoE traffic, define it as ÒPPPoE onlyÓ using this
command:
remote setBrOptions pppoeOnly on <remoteName>
For a Dual-Ethernet router, an Ethernet interface can be designated as ÒPPPoE onlyÓ using this command:
eth br options pppoeOnly on <port#>
PPPoE Client
PPPoE configuration requires creation of a new remote router entry to serve as the PPPoE client. The PPPoE
client provides the user name, password, and domain name required for each PPPoE session. In our router, we
refer to the PPPoE domain name as a Òservice nameÓ as described later.
The user name and password can be the router name and password provided by the system name and system
passwd commands. Or a name and password can be specified for the remote router entry using the remote
setOurSysName and remote setOurPasswd commands.
To create the entry, begin by entering these two commands:
remote add <remoteName>
remote setPPPoEservice * <remoteName>
The preceding two commands create a remote router entry that can be used to connect to all PPPoE services. To
create an entry for a specific PPPoE service, use the following two commands:
remote add <remoteName>
remote setPPPoEservice <serviceName> <remoteName>
The service name is the domain name defined by your service provider.
After defining the remote entry with the remote add and remote setPPPoEservice commands, enter commands
to:
¥ Turn off authentication of the remote router by the target router (remote disauthen).
¥ Specify the user name and password for the service (remote setoursysname and remote setourpasswd).
¥ Define the IP route for the remote (remote addiproute). (IP routing must be enabled for the Ethernet interface
with eth ip enable.)
¥ Turn on Network Address Translation (NAT) if needed (remote setiptranslate).
¥ Permanently allocate a channel or allocate a channel only when needed (remote setminline).
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>
