The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 135 Advanced Application > PPPoE IA Configuration > Global
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Active Select this option to enable the PPPoE intermediate agent globally on the Switch.
Note: You cannot enable this function globally if you have configured a rule for a specific VLAN
on the port in the Advanced Application > PPPoE IA Configuration > VLAN screen.
Append Circuit
ID
Select this option to have the Switch add the user-defined identifier string (specified in the
Circuit ID Information 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 its host name.
Circuit ID
Information
Enter a string of up to 63 ASCII characters that the Switch adds into the Agent Circuit ID
sub-option for any PPPoE discovery packets it forwards. Spaces are allowed.
Otherwise, select the second option to have the Switch use its host name.
Tag 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 in ASCII code. Alternatively,
select private to have the Switch use the Agent Circuit ID old format (slot-port-VLAN) in
binary. The Switch uses a zero for the slot value in the PADI and PADR packets. An example
of the port number is 1 if you select private while it is 31 in ASCII code if you select SP, SV
or SPV.
Delimiter
Select a delimiter to separate the Circuit ID information, 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. Select none to not use any delimiter.
Append Remote
ID
Select Remote ID to have the Switch add the string (specified in the Remote ID
Information field) to PADI or PADR packets from PPPoE clients.
Remote ID
Information
Select one of the following options:
Append Remote ID by user identifier: to have the Switch add the specified Remote ID
user identifier into the Agent Remote ID sub-option for any PPPoE discovery packets it
forwards..
Append Remote ID by port name: to have the Switch use the name of the port on which
the PPPoE discovery packets are received and add it to the PPPoE discovery packets.
Append Remote ID by user identifier + port name + port TEL: to have the Switch add
the specified Remote ID user identifier, the port’s name, and the port’s telephone number
into the Agent Remote ID sub-option for any PPPoE discovery packets it forwards. You can
configure a telephone number for each port in the Advanced Application > PPPoE IA
Configuration > Port Tel screen (see Section 32.3 on page 290).
Remote ID user
identifier
Enter a string of up to 63 ASCII characters that the Switch adds into the Agent Remote ID
sub-option for PPPoE discovery packets received on this port. Spaces are allowed.
Remote ID
Delimiter
Select a delimiter to separate the Remote ID information, 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. Select none to not use any delimiter.
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.
