Creating a PPPoE Interface

 NOTE: Although this chapter discusses working with PPPoE on an ATM subinterface, PPPoE interfaces can be created on these other interfaces: FE, GE, VLAN, bridged IP, and ATM.



 

To create a PPPoE interface:

1. Navigate to an ATM interface.
2. Right-click, select List All, and click ATM Sub Interfaces.

All available ATM subinterfaces appear in the list area.

3. From the list, right-click a subinterface, select Create, and click PPPoE Interface.

The Create PPPoE Interface dialog box appears.

4. Set the Max PPP Sessions parameter (Table 81).
