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.
â—† 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.

Global Configuration
Command Usage
â—† 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.
â—† These messages are forwarded to all trusted ports designated by the pppoe
intermediate-agent trust command.
