LABEL
DESCRIPTION
PPPoE Intermediate Agent
Active
Enable the switch button to enable the PPPoE intermediate agent globally on the Switch.
Access-
Node-
Identifier
Enter up to 20 ASCII printable characters (except [ ? ], [ | ], [ ' ], [ " ], or [ , ]) to identify the PPPoE
intermediate agent. Hyphens (-) and spaces are also allowed. The default is the Switch’s host
name.
Circuit-ID
Use this section to configure the Circuit ID field in the PADI and PADR packets.
The Circuit ID you configure for a specific port (in the
SWITCHING
>
PPPoE
Intermediate Agent
>
PPPoE IA Port
screen) or for a specific VLAN on a port (in the
SWITCHING
>
PPPoE
Intermediate Agent
>
PPPoE IA Port
VLAN
screen) has priority over this. That means, if you also want to configure PPPoE IA Per-Port or Per-Port Per-VLAN
setting, leave the fields here empty and configure circuit-id and remote-id in the Per-Port or Per-Port Per-VLAN
screen.
Active
Enable the switch button to have the Switch add the user-defined identifier string and variables
(specified in the
Option
field) to PADI or PADR packets from PPPoE clients.
If you leave this option unselected and do not configure any Circuit ID string (using CLI
commands) on the Switch, the Switch will use the string specified in the
Access-Node-Identifier
field.
Identifier-
String
Specify a string that the Switch adds in the Agent Circuit ID sub-option. You can enter up to 53
printable ASCII characters (except [ ? ], [ | ], [ ' ], [ " ], or [ , ]). Spaces are allowed.
Option
Select the variables that you want the Switch to generate and add in the Agent Circuit ID sub-
option. The variable options include
sp
,
sv
,
pv
and
spv
which indicate combinations of slot-port,
slot-VLAN, port-VLAN and slot-port-VLAN respectively. The Switch enters a zero into the PADI and
PADR packets for the slot value.
Delimiter
Select a delimiter to separate the identifier-string, slot ID, port number and/or VLAN ID from each
other. You can use a pound key (
#
), semi-colon (
;
), period (
.
), comma (
,
), forward slash (
/
) or
space.
Apply
Click
Apply
to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the
Save
link on the top navigation panel to save
your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel
Click
Cancel
to begin configuring this screen afresh.
