Configuring Controllers and Interfaces: PPPoE Overview

PPPoE Overview
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a protocol for encapsulating PPP
frames in Ethernet. PPP is a data-link-level protocol typically used to encapsulate
network-level packets over an asynchronous serial line.
PPPoE is commonly used with ADSL services. It offers standard PPP features such
as authentication, encryption and compression. In other words, PPPoE is used to
virtually “dial” to another Ethernet machine and make a point to point connection,
which is then used to transport IP packets, based on the features of PPP.
The main driver for PPPoE is for interfacing with third party modem equipment for
various DSL and wireless providers. This allows Remote RMX-3200 to create a
PPPoE for purposes such as backhaul and public network connections.
Figure 7-1
provides a high level example of a PPPoE configuration.
Figure 7-1 PPPoE High Level Configuration
To create a PPPoE scenario on Remote RMX-3200, you need to first remove an
Ethernet controller from the bridge, configure it to have encapsulation for PPP and
then configure the associated PPP parameters for the link. Finally, you need to enable
the Ethernet interface corresponding to the controller.
