NAME
pppoesd.conf - PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) server configuration file
DESCRIPTION
pppoesd.conf is the configuration file for the
pppoesd daemon. This file is read by pppoesd to ini-
tialize the server. The default file is
/etc/ppp/pppoesd.conf
. You can use this file to set parame-
ters for each network interface used by
pppoesd during PPPoE sessions. Each entry in the
pppoesd.conf file is of the following format:
parameter
=value
Each entry in the configuration file is separated by a blank line. Blank lines and lines that begin with
#
are ignored.
Parameters
pppoesd.conf contains the following parameters:
service Specify the name of the service that the server can offer to the client. A value of
any
implies that the server is ready to offer any service to the client.
acname Specify the name of the access concentrator from which you wish to make services
available.
host-unique Specify a tag used by the client to uniquely associate an access concentrator’s response
(PADO or PADS) to a particular client request (PADI or PADR).
retry-number Specify the number of times pppoec tries to retransmit either a PADI or PADR
packet when an access concentrator does not respond to the client’s request.
timeout Specify the timeout value in seconds. pppoec waits for this duration to receive
either a PADO or PADS packet before retransmitting a PADI/PADR packet. The
default value is 15 seconds.
pppd-options Specify the command-line options of pppd. See pppd (1) for more information.
