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.
