This chapter describes commands that are specific to PPPoE type links. These commands apply to the currently active link, and are only valid if the currently active link has type pppoe.
Your kernel must be compiled with ``options NETGRAPH'' to
netgraph-enable the Ethernet interfaces (if your system is new enough
to have the /modules/ng_ether.ko
KLD installed, then
this is no longer true; you only need load this KLD).
PPPoE requires two pieces of configuration information: the name of the Ethernet interface to use, and a service name, which should be supplied by your ISP. If you do not have a service name, then the empty string (the default) often suffices.
Note: There is a bug in Windows 2000 PPPoE implementation which makes connection impossible due to LCP mru negotiation failure. Other Windows version have no this bug.
set pppoe iface interface-name
Set the name of the Ethernet interface to use. PPPoE does not affect normal use of the interface.
set pppoe service service-name
Sets the requested PPPoE service name. Setting service name to "*" on link with allowed incoming connections allows to accept incoming connection requests with any service name specified.
set pppoe acname name
Set name of this PPPoE access concentrator to be sent to clients. If not specified, local hostname will be used.
