PPPoE
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a method of connecting to the internet typically used with DSL
services where the client connects to the DSL modem. You can use PPPoE for your uplink connectivity in both
normal IAP and VPN IAP deployments. PPPoE is supported only in a single AP deployment.
When the Ethernet link is up, it is used as a PPPoE or DHCP uplink. Once the PPPoE settings are configured,
PPPoE has the highest priority for the uplink. The IAP can establish a PPPoE session with a PPPoE server at the
ISP and get authenticated using Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) or the Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol (CHAP). Depending upon the request from the PPPoE server, either the PAP or the
CHAP credentials are used for authentication. After you configure PPPoE, you have to reboot the IAP for the
configuration to take effect. The PPPoE connection is dialed after the AP comes up. The PPPoE configuration is
checked during bootup and if found incorrect, Ethernet is used for the uplink connection.
Configuring PPPoE
To configure the PPPOE settings:
1. Click the
Settings
link at the upper right corner of the Instant WebUI.
2. Click the

link.
3. In the
Uplink
tab, perform the following steps in the PPPoE section:
a. Enter the
PPPoE service name
provided to you by your service provider in the

field.
b. In the

and
Retype
fields, enter the
CHAP secret
and confirm it.
c. Enter the user name for the PPPoE connection in the User field.
d. In the
Password
and
Retype
fields, enter the PPPoE password and confirm it.
4. Click

.
5. Reboot the IAP for the configuration to take effect.
NOTE:
Uplink preferences can be set manually. This forces the IAP to use that uplink. Switchover and preemption do not work in
this configuration.
NOTE:
Uplink redundancy with the PPPoE link is not supported.
NOTE:
When you use PPPoE, do not configure the IP address of the Virtual Controller.
When you use PPPoE, do not use Dynamic RADIUS Proxy.
An SSID created with default VLAN is not supported with PPPoE.
