Description

This article describes how to use config pppoe-interface to set up pppoe connection.

Scope

Firmware 6.2 and above. Currently only available via CLI.

Results

Port3 will be used in this example.

Start by configuring pppoe-interface for the port 3 connected with the PPPOE:

# config system pppoe-interface
    edit "PPPOE"
      set device "port3"
      set username <username>
      set password <password>

next
end

When configuring pppoe-interface, one can select the port with using the command 'set device <port>'. After that a sub-interface will appear.

Check under the 'diagnose netlink interface list <pppoe>' for the newly created interface:

Wira-kvm15 # diag netlink interface list PPPOE
