PPPoE CLI commands
Root level command
First level command
Description
interface fastethernet
Enter the context of the FastEthernet interface
encapsulation pppoe
Change the encapsulation to PPPoE
ip address
Configure an IP address and subnet mask for the interface
ip address negotiated
Obtain an IP address via PPP/IPCP negotiation
keepalive (PPPoE)
Enable PPPoE keepalive in order to maintain a persistent connection
keepalive-track
Bind interface status to an object tracker to check whether the interface is up
mtu
Set the interface’s MTU to 1492 which ensures that overall packet size for the PPPoE interface does not exceed 1500, which is the MTU for Ethernet
ppp chap hostname
Override the device hostname for PPP CHAP authentication
ppp chap password
Set the CHAP password for authentication with a remote peer
ppp chap refuse
Prevent the device from authenticating with CHAP after the device is requested by the remote peer
ppp ipcp dns request
Request the list of available DNS servers from the remote peer during the PPP/IPCP session
ppp pap refuse
Prevent the device from authenticating with PAP after the device is requested by the remote peer
ppp pap sent-username
Set the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) password for authentication with the remote peer
ppp timeout ncp
Set the maximum time, in seconds, that PPP allows for negotiation of a network layer protocol
ppp timeout retry
Set the maximum time to wait for a response during PPP negotiation
pppoe-client persistent delay
Set the interval between PPPoE client dial attempts
pppoe-client persistent max-attempts
Limit the number of consecutive connection establishment retries
pppoe-client service-name
Set the PPPoE client service-name
pppoe-client wait-for-ipcp
Set the amount of time (in seconds) between establishment of the PPPoE tunnel and establishment of the IPCP tunnel. If this time is exceeded, the PPPoE client terminates the PPPoE tunnel.
shutdown (interface)
Shut down the port, and the PPPoE client, if configured
show interfaces
Display interface configuration and statistics for a particular interface or all interfaces
