Server Configuration File
You cannot run pppoesd without a configuration file. The default
configuration file is /etc/ppp/pppoesd.conf. Use this file to set the
server parameters. A blank line separates each entry in the
pppoesd.conf file. pppoesd.conf ignores lines that begin with #.
Each entry is of the following format:
<parameter>=<value>
Table 3-2 lists the parameters that the server configuration file supports.
