PPPoE Configurations - Maipu and Cisco

In last post we saw, PPPoE theory, In this post we will see Maipu and Cisco router configurations for PPPoE.

Command	Description	Configuration Mode
pppoe enable	Enable PPPoE server.	config-if-××
pppoe-client dial-pool-number number	Configure PPPoE client.	config-if-××

vpdn enable	*Enable VPDN.	Config
vpdn-group number	Configure VPDN group	Config
accept-dialin	*Configure VPDN as accepting dial-in	config-vpdn

pppoe limit per-mac number	*Configure the maximum connection number of the same mac address at PPPoE client	config-vpdn
virtual-template number	*Configure the template number used when VPDN accepting dial-in	config-vpdn-acc-in
local name host-name	Configure VPDN  device name	config-vpdn

PPPoE Normal Configuration - Maipu

Configuration instance 1

Description -

As shown in the above figure, PPPoE client (Router-a) sets up the PPPoE connection with the PPPoE server via the Ethernet interface.

The configuration of Router-a:

Command	Description
Router (config)#dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit	Configure the data type of triggering dialer
Router (config)#interface dialer0	Configure dialer interface
Router (config-if-dialer0)#ip address negotiated	Configure IP address
Router (config-if-dialer0)# encapsulation ppp	Encapsulate the PPP protocol.
Router (config-if-dialer0)#dialer in-band	Enable DDR dialer
Router (config-if-dialer0)#dialer-group 1	Reference triggering list
Router (config-if-dialer0)#dialer pool 1	Configure dialer pool
Router (config-if-dialer0)#exit	Exit interface
Router (config)#interface fastethernet0	Enter into Ethernet interface
Router (config-if-fastethernet0)# pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1	Configure PPPoE client and put F0 interface into dialer group 1
Router (config-if-fastethernet0)#exit	Exit interface
Router (config )#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dialer0	Configure the default route

The configuration of Router-b:

Command	Description
Router(config)#int loopback 0	Configure loopback 0
Router(config-if-loopback0)#ip address 12.1.1.1 255.0.0.0	Configure the IP address of the loopback port
Router(config-if-loopback0)#exit
router(config)# ip local pool pppoe-pool 172.16.20.10 172.16.20.100	Configure address pool
Router (config)#int virtual-template 1	Configure PPPoE virtual template interface
Router (config-if-virtual-template1)#ip unnumber loopback0	Configure the IP address of the interface. It is recommended to use the ip unnumber command. Configure IP address directly for virtual template. The load balance results in the PPPOE server can only enable the sixth valid connection.
Router (config-if-virtual-template1)#encapsulation ppp	Encapsulate the PPP protocol
Router (config-if-virtual-template1)#peer default ip address pool pppoe-pool	The address pool adopted when distributing the IP address to the client
Router (config-if-virtual-template1)#exit
Router (config)#vpdn enable	Enable VPDN virtual tunnel
Router (config)#vpdn-group 1	Create virtual channel group
Router (config-vpdn)# pppoe limit per-mac 2	The same mac of the client is allowed to create two PPPoE connections.
Router (config-vpdn)#local name pppoe-server	The command is used to configure ac-name on the Ethernet interface when configuring the PPPoE client
Router (config-vpdn)#accept-dialin	Configure VPDN as accepting dialin
Router (config-vpdn-acc-in)#protocol pppoe	Specify the application protocol over VPDN
Router (config-vpdn-acc-in)#virtual-template 1	Specify the virtual template interface number used during the PPPoE  session
Router (config-vpdn-acc-in)#exit
Router (config-vpdn)#exit
Router (config)#interface fastethernet0	Configure fastethernet0 as the PPPoE server port
Router (config-if-fastethernet0)#pppoe enable	Enable the PPPoE protocol
Router (config-if-fastethernet0)#exit
