PPPoE Intermediate Agent
– 271 –
forwards this information to all trusted ports designated by the pppoe
intermediate-agent trust command. The BRAS detects the presence of the
subscriber’s circuit-ID tag inserted by the switch during the PPPoE discovery
phase, and sends this tag as a NAS-port-ID attribute in PPP authentication and
AAA accounting requests to a RADIUS server.
◆
PPPoE IA must be enabled globally by this command before this feature can be
enabled on an interface using the
pppoe intermediate-agent port-enable
command.
Example
Console(config)#pppoe intermediate-agent
Console(config)#
pppoe intermediate-
agent format-type
This command sets the access node identifier and generic error message for the
switch. Use the
no form to restore the default settings.

generic-error-message error-message }
no pppoe intermediate-agent format-type { access-node-identifier |

Command Usage
◆
The switch uses the access-node-identifier to generate the circuit-id for PPPoE
discovery stage packets sent to the BRAS, but does not modify the source or
destination MAC address of these PPPoE discovery packets.
◆
These messages are forwarded to all trusted ports designated by the pppoe
intermediate-agent trust command.
