6 Configuring PPPoE Client
6.1 Overview
PPPoE: Point-to-point Protocol Over Ethernet
Ruijie products support the PPPoE client on Ethernet interfaces, and are therefore able to connect to a host network by
accessing a remote hub through a simple access device. The PPPoE protocol enables the PPPoE server to control each
access client and perform relevant accounting.
Ruijie products support the auto dialing mode: no Dial-on-Demand Routing (DDR) but always online.
The PPPoE client is applicable in scenarios where Internet access is implemented through ADSL.
The following sections describe the PPPoE client only.
6.1.1.1 Protocols and Standards
RFC2516: A Method for Transmitting PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE)
RFC1661: The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
6.2 Applications
In a scenario where Internet access is implemented through the Asymmetric Digital
Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology, the device provides dialup and packet forwarding
functions.
6.2.1 ADSL Scenario
6.2.1.1 Scenario
In a scenario where Internet access is implemented through ADSL, the device provides dialup and packet forwarding
functions.
The dialup networking scenario is illustrated with Figure 6-1 as an example.
