CHAPTER 28 PPPoE 28.1 PPPoE Intermediate Agent Overview This chapter describes how the Switch gives a PPPoE termination server additional information that the server can use to identify and authenticate a PPPoE client. A PPPoE Intermediate Agent (PPPoE IA) is deployed between a PPPoE server and PPPoE clients. It helps the PPPoE server identify and authenticate clients by adding subscriber line specific information to PPPoE discovery packets from clients on a per-port or per-port-per-VLAN basis before forwarding them to the PPPoE server. PPPoE Client PPPoE IA PPPoE Server 28.1.1 What You Can Do • Use the PPPoE screen (Section 28.2 on page 225) to display the main PPPoE screen. • Use the Intermediate Agent screen (Section 28.3 on page 226) to enable the PPPoE Intermediate Agent on the Switch. • Use the PPPoE Per-Port screen (Section 28.3.1 on page 227) to set the port state and configure PPPoE intermediate agent sub-options on a per-port basis. • Use the PPPoE Per-Port Per-VLAN screen (Section 28.3.2 on page 228) to configure PPPoE IA settings that apply to a specific VLAN on a port. • Use the PPPoE for VLAN screen (Section 28.3.3 on page 230) to enable the PPPoE Intermediate Agent on a VLAN. 28.1.2 What You Need to Know Read on for concepts on ARP that can help you configure the screen in this chapter. 28.1.2.1 PPPoE Intermediate Agent Tag Format If the PPPoE Intermediate Agent is enabled, the Switch adds a vendor-specific tag to PADI (PPPoE Active Discovery Initialization) and PADR (PPPoE Active Discovery Request) packets from PPPoE clients. This tag is defined in RFC 2516 and has the following format for this feature.
