Introduction

The following information provides PPPoE configuration examples from the Web interface.

Prerequisites

This document is not restricted to specific software or hardware versions. Procedures and information in the examples might be slightly different depending on the software or hardware version of the device.

The configuration examples were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

The following information is provided based on the assumption that you have basic knowledge of PPPoE.

Software version used

This configuration example was created and verified on ER3200G3 Release 0136.
