Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a point-to-point link layer protocol. It provides user authentication, supports synchronous/asynchronous communication, and allows for easy extension.

PPP protocols

PPP includes the following protocols:

· Link control protocol (LCP)—Establishes, tears down, and monitors data links.

· Network control protocol (NCP)—Negotiates the packet format and type for data links.

· Authentication protocols—Authenticate users. Protocols include the following:

¡ Password Authentication Protocol (PAP).

¡ Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP).

¡ Microsoft CHAP (MS-CHAP).

¡ Microsoft CHAP Version 2 (MS-CHAP-V2).

PPP link establishment process

Figure 1 shows the PPP link establishment process.

Figure 1 PPP link establishment process

‌

1. Initially, PPP is in Link Dead phase. After the physical layer goes up, PPP enters the Link Establishment phase (Establish).

2. In the Link Establishment phase, the LCP negotiation is performed. The LCP configuration options include Authentication-Protocol, Async-Control-Character-Map (ACCM), Maximum-Receive-Unit (MRU), Magic-Number, Protocol-Field-Compression (PFC), Address-and-Control-Field-Compression (ACFC), and MP.

¡ If the negotiation fails, LCP reports a Fail event, and PPP returns to the Dead phase.

¡ If the negotiation succeeds, LCP enters the Opened state and reports an Up event, indicating that the underlying layer link has been established. At this time, the PPP link is not established for the network layer, and network layer packets cannot be transmitted over the link.

3. If authentication is configured, the PPP link enters the Authentication phase, where PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP, or MS-CHAP-V2 authentication is performed.

¡ If the client fails to pass the authentication, LCP reports a Fail event and enters the Link Termination phase. In this phase, the link is torn down and LCP goes down.

¡ If the client passes the authentication, LCP reports a Success event.

4. If a network layer protocol is configured, the PPP link enters the Network-Layer Protocol phase for NCP negotiation, such as IPCP negotiation and IPv6CP negotiation.

¡ If the NCP negotiation succeeds, the link goes up and becomes ready to carry negotiated network-layer protocol packets.

¡ If the NCP negotiation fails, NCP reports a Down event and enters the Link Termination phase.

If the interface is configured with an IP address, the IPCP negotiation is performed. IPCP configuration options include IP addresses and DNS server IP addresses. After the IPCP negotiation succeeds, the link can carry IP packets.

5. After the NCP negotiation is performed, the PPP link remains active until either of the following events occurs:

¡ Explicit LCP or NCP frames close the link.

¡ Some external events take place (for example, the intervention of a user).

PPP authentication

PPP supports the following authentication methods:

PAP

PAP is a two-way handshake authentication protocol using the username and password.

PAP sends username/password pairs in plain text over the network. If authentication packets are intercepted in transit, network security might be threatened. For this reason, it is suitable only for low-security environments.

CHAP

CHAP is a three-way handshake authentication protocol.

CHAP transmits usernames but not passwords over the network. It transmits the result calculated from the password and random packet ID by using the MD5 algorithm. It is more secure than PAP. The authenticator may or may not be configured with a username. As a best practice, configure a username for the authenticator, which makes it easier for the peer to verify the identity of the authenticator.

MS-CHAP

MS-CHAP is a three-way handshake authentication protocol. MS-CHAP differs from CHAP as follows:

· MS-CHAP uses CHAP Algorithm 0x80.

· MS-CHAP provides authentication retry. If the peer fails authentication, it is allowed to retransmit authentication information to the authenticator for reauthentication. The authenticator allows a peer to retransmit a maximum of three times.

MS-CHAP-V2

MS-CHAP-V2 is a three-way handshake authentication protocol. MS-CHAP-V2 differs from CHAP as follows:

· MS-CHAP-V2 uses CHAP Algorithm 0x81.

· MS-CHAP-V2 provides two-way authentication by piggybacking a peer challenge on the Response packet and an authenticator response on the Acknowledge packet.

· MS-CHAP-V2 supports authentication retry. If the peer fails authentication, it is allowed to retransmit authentication information to the authenticator for reauthentication. The authenticator allows a peer to retransmit a maximum of three times.

· MS-CHAP-V2 supports password change. If the peer fails authentication because of an expired password, it will send the new password entered by the user to the authenticator for reauthentication.

PPP for IPv4

On IPv4 networks, PPP negotiates the IP address and DNS server address during IPCP negotiation.

IP address negotiation

IP address negotiation enables one end to assign an IP address to the other.

An interface can act as a client or a server during IP address negotiation:

· Client—Obtains an IP address from the server. Use the client mode when the device accesses the Internet through an ISP.

· Server—Assigns an IP address to the client. Before you configure the IP address of the server, you must perform one of the following tasks:

¡ Configure a local address pool and associate the pool with the ISP domain.

¡ Specify an IP address or an address pool for the client on the interface.

When IP address negotiation is enabled on a client, the server selects an IP address for the client in the following sequence:

1. If the AAA server configures an IP address or address pool for the client, the server selects that IP address or an IP address from the pool. The IP address or address pool is configured on the AAA server instead of the PPP server. For information about AAA, see Security Configuration Guide.

2. If an address pool is associated with the ISP domain used during client authentication, the server selects an IP address from the pool.

3. If an IP address or address pool is specified for the client on the interface of the server, the server selects that IP address or an IP address from that pool.

DNS server address negotiation

IPCP negotiation can determine the DNS server IP address.

When the device is connected to a host, configure the device as the server to assign the DNS server IP address to the host.

When the device is connected to an ISP access server, configure the device as the client. Then, the device can obtain the DNS server IP address from the ISP access server.

PPP for IPv6

On IPv6 networks, PPP negotiates only the IPv6 interface identifier instead of the IPv6 address and IPv6 DNS server address during IPv6CP negotiation.

IPv6 address assignment

PPP cannot negotiate the IPv6 address.

The client can get an IPv6 global unicast address through the following methods:

· Method 1—The client obtains an IPv6 prefix in an RA message. The client then generates an IPv6 global unicast address by combining the IPv6 prefix and the negotiated IPv6 interface identifier. The IPv6 prefix in the RA message is determined in the following sequence:

¡ IPv6 prefix authorized by AAA.

¡ RA prefix configured on the interface.

¡ Prefix of the IPv6 global unicast address configured on the interface.

For information about the ND protocol, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

· Method 2—The client requests an IPv6 global unicast address through DHCPv6. The server assigns an IPv6 address to the client from the address pool authorized by AAA. If no AAA-authorized address pool exists, DHCPv6 uses the address pool that matches the server's IPv6 address to assign an IPv6 address to the client. For information about DHCPv6, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

· Method 3—The client requests prefixes through DHCPv6 and assigns them to downstream hosts. The hosts then uses the prefixes to generate global IPv6 addresses. This method uses the same principle of selecting address pools as method 2.

The device can assign a host an IPv6 address in either of the following ways:

· When the host connects to the device directly or through a bridge device, the device can use method 1 or method 2.

· When the host accesses the device through a router, the device can use method 3 to assign an IPv6 prefix to the router. The router assigns the prefix to the host to generate an IPv6 global unicast address.

IPv6 DNS server address assignment

On IPv6 networks, two methods are available for the IPv6 DNS address assignment:

· AAA authorizes the IPv6 DNS address and assigns this address to the host through RA messages.

· The DHCPv6 client requests an IPv6 DNS address from the DHCPv6 server.

Configuring a VT interface

Creating a VT interface

About this task

A virtual-template (VT) interface is a template for creating VA interfaces. In PPPoE, L2TP, and MP networks, VA interfaces are needed for exchanging data with peers. In this case, the system will select a VT interface and dynamically create VA interfaces based on the VT interface.

In PPPoE and L2TP applications, you can use VT interfaces to implement related functions of PPP. For more information about PPPoE and L2TP, see "Configuring PPPoE" and "Configuring L2TP."

MP can create multiple bundles using the same VT interface. For more information about MP, see "Configuring MP."

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

3. (Optional.) Set the interface description.

description text

By default, the description of a VT interface is interface name Interface, for example, Virtual-Template1 Interface.

4. (Optional.) Set the MTU size of the interface.

mtu size

By default, the MTU size of an interface is 1500 bytes.

5. (Optional.) Set the expected bandwidth of the VT interface.

Specifying traffic processing slots for a VT interface

About this task

Specify traffic processing slots if a feature requires that all traffic on a VT interface be processed on the same slot.

For high availability, you can specify one primary and one backup traffic processing slot by using the service command and the service standby command, respectively.

If you specify both primary and backup slots for an interface, traffic on that interface is processed as follows:

· The backup slot takes over when the primary slot becomes unavailable. The backup slot continues to process traffic for the interface after the primary slot becomes available again. The switchover will not occur until the backup slot becomes unavailable.

· When no specified traffic processing slots are available, the traffic is processed on the slot at which it arrives. Then, the processing slot that first becomes available again takes over.

If you do not specify a primary or a backup traffic processing slot for an interface, traffic on that interface is processed on the slot at which the traffic arrives.

Restrictions and guidelines

To avoid processing slot switchover, specify the primary slot before specifying the backup slot. If you specify the backup slot before specifying the primary slot, traffic is switched over to the primary slot immediately after you specify the primary slot.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter VT interface view.

By default, no backup traffic processing slot is specified for an interface.

Configuring PPP authentication

About PPP authentication

PPP supports authentication methods PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP, and MS-CHAP-V2. You can configure several authentication modes simultaneously. In LCP negotiation, the authenticator negotiates with the peer in the sequence of configured authentication modes until the LCP negotiation succeeds. If the response packet from the peer carries a recommended authentication mode, the authenticator directly uses the authentication mode if it finds the mode configured.

Configuring PAP authentication

Restrictions and guidelines for PAP authentication

For local AAA authentication, the username and password of the peer must be configured on the authenticator.

For remote AAA authentication, the username and password of the peer must be configured on the remote AAA server.

The username and password configured for the peer must be the same as those configured on the peer by using the ppp pap local-user command.

For security purposes, the password specified in plaintext form and ciphertext form will be stored in encrypted form.

Configuring CHAP authentication (authenticator name is configured)

Restrictions and guidelines for CHAP authentication (authenticator name is configured)

When you configure the authenticator, follow these guidelines:

· For local AAA authentication, the username and password of the peer must be configured on the authenticator.

· For remote AAA authentication, the username and password of the peer must be configured on the remote AAA server.

· The username and password configured for the peer must meet the following requirements:

¡ The username configured for the peer must be the same as that configured on the peer by using the ppp chap user command.

¡ The passwords configured for the authenticator and peer must be the same.

When you configure the peer, follow these guidelines:

· For local AAA authentication, the username and password of the authenticator must be configured on the peer.

· For remote AAA authentication, the username and password of the authenticator must be configured on the remote AAA server.

· The username and password configured for the authenticator must meet the following requirements:

¡ The username configured for the authenticator must be the same as that configured on the authenticator by using the ppp chap user command.

¡ The passwords configured for the authenticator and peer must be the same.

· The peer does not support the CHAP authentication password configured by using the ppp chap password command. CHAP authentication (authenticator name is configured) will apply even if the authentication name is configured.

Configuring the polling feature

About this task

The polling feature checks PPP link state.

On an interface that uses PPP encapsulation, the link layer sends keepalive packets at keepalive intervals to detect the availability of the peer. If the interface receives no response to keepalive packets when the keepalive retry limit is reached, it determines that the link fails and reports a link layer down event.

To set the keepalive retry limit, use the timer-hold retry command.

The value 0 disables an interface from sending keepalive packets. In this case, the interface can respond to keepalive packets from the peer.

Restrictions and guidelines

On a slow link, increase the keepalive interval to prevent false shutdown of the interface. This situation might occur when keepalive packets are delayed because a large packet is being transmitted on the link.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter interface view.

Configuring PPP negotiation

Configuring the PPP negotiation timeout time

About this task

The device starts the PPP negotiation timeout timer after sending a packet. If no response is received before the timer expires, the device sends the packet again.

If two ends of a PPP link vary greatly in the LCP negotiation packet processing rate, configure this command on the end with a higher processing rate. The LCP negotiation delay timer prevents frequent LCP negotiation packet retransmission. After the physical layer comes up, PPP starts LCP negotiation when the delay timer expires. If PPP receives LCP negotiation packets before the delay timer expires, it starts LCP negotiation immediately.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

3. Configure the negotiation timeout time.

Configuring IP address negotiation on the server

About this task

Configure the server to assign an IP address to a client by using the following methods:

· Method 1: Specify an IP address for the client on the server interface.

· Method 2: Specify a PPP or DHCP address pool on the server interface.

· Method 3: Associate a PPP or DHCP address pool with an ISP domain.

Restrictions and guidelines for IP address negotiation on the server

For clients requiring no authentication, you can use either method 1 or method 2. When both method 1 and method 2 are configured, the most recent configuration takes effect.

For clients requiring authentication, you can use one or more of the three methods. When multiple methods are configured, method 3 takes precedence over method 1 or method 2. When both method 1 and method 2 are configured, the most recent configuration takes effect.

PPP supports IP address assignment from a PPP or DHCP address pool. If you use a pool name that identifies both a PPP address pool and a DHCP address pool, the system uses the PPP address pool.

When assigning IP address to users through a PPP address pool, make sure the PPP address pool excludes the gateway IP address of the PPP address pool.

Configuring ACFC negotiation

About this task

PPP can compress the address and control fields of PPP packets to increase the payload size.

ACFC negotiation notifies the peer that the local end can receive packets carrying compressed address and control fields.

ACFC negotiation is implemented at the LCP negotiation stage. After the ACFC negotiation succeeds, PPP does not include the address and control fields in non-LCP packets. To ensure successful LCP negotiation, PPP does not apply the compression to LCP packets.

Restrictions and guidelines for ACFC negotiation

Configuring PFC negotiation

About this task

PPP can compress the protocol field of PPP packets from 2 bytes to 1 byte to increase the payload size.

PFC negotiation notifies the peer that the local end can receive packets with a single-byte protocol field.

PFC negotiation is implemented at the LCP negotiation stage. After PFC negotiation is completed, the device compresses the protocol field of sent non-LCP packets. If the first eight bits of the protocol field are all zeros, the device does not add those bits into the packet. To ensure successful LCP negotiation, PPP does not apply the compression to LCP packets.

Enabling IP header compression

About this task

IP header compression (IPHC) compresses packet headers to speed up packet transmission. IPHC is often used for voice communications over low-speed links.

IPHC provides the following compression features:

· RTP header compression—Compresses the IP header, UDP header, and RTP header of an RTP packet, which have a total length of 40 bytes.

· TCP header compression—Compresses the IP header and TCP header of a TCP packet, which have a total length of 40 bytes.

Restrictions and guidelines

To use IPHC, you must enable it on both sides of a PPP link.

Enabling or disabling IPHC on a VT, dialer, or ISDN interface does not immediately take effect. You must execute the shutdown and undo shutdown commands on the interface or the bound physical interface to apply the new setting.

After you enable IPHC, you can configure the maximum number of connections for RTP or TCP header compression. The configuration takes effect after you execute the shutdown and undo shutdown command on the interface. The configuration is removed after IPHC is disabled.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

Configuring PPPoE

About PPPoE

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) extends PPP by transporting PPP frames encapsulated in Ethernet over point-to-point links.

PPPoE specifies the methods for establishing PPPoE sessions and encapsulating PPP frames over Ethernet. PPPoE requires a point-to-point relationship between peers instead of a point-to-multipoint relationship as in multi-access environments such as Ethernet. PPPoE provides Internet access for the hosts in an Ethernet through a remote access device and implement access control, authentication, and accounting on a per-host basis. Integrating the low cost of Ethernet and scalability and management functions of PPP, PPPoE gained popularity in various application environments, such as residential access networks.

For more information about PPPoE, see RFC 2516.

PPPoE network structure

PPPoE uses the client/server model. The PPPoE client initiates a connection request to the PPPoE server. After session negotiation between them is complete, a session is established between them, and the PPPoE server provides access control, authentication, and accounting to the PPPoE client.

PPPoE network structures are classified into router-initiated and host-initiated network structures depending on the starting point of the PPPoE session.

Router-initiated network structure

As shown in Figure 2, the PPPoE session is established between devices (Device A and Device B). All hosts share one PPPoE session for data transmission without being installed with PPPoE client software. This network structure is typically used by enterprises.

Figure 2 Router-initiated network structure

‌

Host-initiated network structure

As shown in Figure 3, a PPPoE session is established between each host (PPPoE client) and the carrier device (PPPoE server). The service provider assigns an account to each host for billing and control. The host must be installed with PPPoE client software.

Configuring a VA pool

About this task

The PPPoE server creates a VA interface for a PPPoE session to transmit packets between PPPoE and PPP, and removes the VA interface when the user goes offline. Creating and removing VA interfaces take time.

You can configure VA pools to improve the performance of PPPoE session establishment and termination. A VA pool contains a group of automatically numbered VA interfaces. The PPPoE server selects a VA interface from the pool for a requesting user and release the VA interface when the user goes offline. When a VA pool is exhausted, the system creates VA interfaces for new PPPoE sessions, and removes those VA interfaces when the users go offline.

On a VT interface, you can create one global VA pool and one regional VA pool per member device for interfaces bound with the VT interface.

· The global VA pool contains VA interfaces for logical interfaces that might span multiple devices, such as Ethernet aggregate interfaces.

· The regional VA pool contains VA interfaces for interfaces that do not span multiple devices, such as Ethernet interfaces.

Restrictions and guidelines

To change the capacity of a VA pool, you must delete the previous configuration and reconfigure the VA pool.

Creating or removing a VA pool takes time. During the process of creating or removing a VA pool, users can go online or offline, but the VA pool does not take effect.

If the system fails to create a VA pool because of insufficient resources, you can view the available resources by using the display pppoe-server va-pool command.

VA pools are memory intensive. Set their capacity depending on your network requirements.

Deleting a VA pool does not log off the users who are using VA interfaces in the VA pool.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

Enabling the function of querying and configuring VA interfaces through MIB nodes

About this task

When a large VA pool is configured or a large number of users come online, a large number of VA interfaces are created on the device. In most cases, the administrator is not concerned with VA interfaces when obtaining device information through MIB nodes. Therefore, you cannot query and configure VA interfaces through MIB nodes by default. In this case, the device ignores the VA interface configuration and query requests from the NMS. This improves the efficiency of obtaining information about the other interfaces, improves the user experience, reduces the device workload, and saves CPU resources.

To query and configure VA interfaces through MIB nodes, enable this function.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enable the function of querying and configuring VA interfaces through MIB nodes.

· Limit for a VLAN on an interface.

· Limit on an interface.

· (In IRF mode.) Limit on an IRF member device.

· (In standalone mode.) Limit on a device.

Restrictions and guidelines for maximum number of PPPoE sessions

New maximum number settings apply only to subsequently established PPPoE sessions.

(In standalone mode.) The maximum number of PPPoE sessions set for a device cannot be greater than the maximum number of PPPoE sessions supported by the device. The maximum number of PPPoE sessions supported by a device varies by license or device model.

(In IRF mode.) The total maximum number of PPPoE sessions set for all IRF member devices cannot be greater than the maximum number of PPPoE sessions supported by the device. The maximum number of PPPoE sessions supported by a device varies by license or device model.

Limiting the PPPoE access rate

About this task

The device can limit the rate at which a user (identified by an MAC address) can create PPPoE sessions on an interface. If the number of PPPoE requests within the monitoring time exceeds the configured threshold, the device discards the excessive requests, and outputs log messages. If the blocking time is set to 0, the device does not block any requests, and it only outputs log messages.

The device uses a monitoring table and a blocking table to control PPP access rates:

· Monitoring table—Stores a maximum of 8000 monitoring entries. Each entry records the number of PPPoE sessions created by a user within the monitoring time. When the monitoring entries reach the maximum, the system stops monitoring and blocking session requests from new users. The aging time of monitoring entries is determined by the session-request-period argument. When the timer expires, the system starts a new round of monitoring for the user.

· Blocking table—Stores a maximum of 8000 blocking entries. The system creates a blocking entry if the access rate of a user reaches the threshold, and blocks requests from that user. When the blocking entries reach the maximum number, the system stops blocking session requests from new users and it only outputs log messages. The aging time of the blocking entries is determined by the blocking-period argument. When the timer expires, the system starts a new round of monitoring for the user.

Restrictions and guidelines

If the access rate setting is changed, the system removes all monitoring and blocking entries, and uses the new settings to limit PPPoE access rates.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

Configuring the NAS-Port-ID attribute

About this task

The PPPoE server on a BAS device uses the RADIUS NAS-Port-ID attribute to send the access line ID received from a DSLAM device to the RADIUS server. The access line ID includes the circuit-id and remote-id. The RADIUS server compares the received NAS-Port-ID attribute with the local line ID information to verify the location of the user.

You can configure the content of the NAS-Port-ID attribute that the PPPoE server sends to the RADIUS server.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

By default, the NAS-Port-ID attribute contains only the circuit-id.

4. Configure the NAS-Port-ID attribute to include the BAS information automatically.

pppoe-server access-line-id bas-info [ cn-163 ]

By default, the NAS-Port-ID attribute does not include the BAS information automatically.

5. Configure the PPPoE server to trust the access line ID in received packets.

pppoe-server access-line-id trust

By default, the PPPoE server does not trust the access line ID in received packets.

6. Configure the format that is used to parse the circuit-id.

pppoe-server access-line-id circuit-id parse-mode { cn-telecom | tr-101 }

The default mode is TR-101.

7. Configure the transmission format for the circuit-id.

pppoe-server access-line-id circuit-id trans-format { ascii | hex }

The default format is a string of characters.

8. Configure the transmission format for the remote-id.

pppoe-server access-line-id remote-id trans-format { ascii | hex }

The default format is a string of characters.

Configuring a PPPoE client

Operation mode

A PPPoE session can operate in one of the following modes:

· Permanent mode—A PPPoE session is established immediately when the line is physically up. This type of session remains until the physical link comes down or until the session is disconnected.

· On-demand mode—A PPPoE session is established when there is a demand for data transmission instead of when the line is physically up. It is terminated when idled for a specific period of time.

· Diagnostic mode—A PPPoE session is established immediately after the device configurations finish. The device automatically terminates the PPPoE session and then tries to re-establish a PPPoE session at a pre-configured interval. By establishing and terminating PPPoE sessions periodically, you can monitor the operating status of the PPPoE link.

The PPPoE session operating mode is determined by your configuration on the dialer interface:

· Permanent mode—Used when you set the link idle time to 0 by using the dialer timer idle command and do not configure the dialer diagnose command.

· On-demand mode—Used when you set the link idle time to a non-zero value by using the dialer timer idle command and do not configure the dialer diagnose command.

· Diagnostic mode—Used when you configure the dialer diagnose command.

PPPoE client tasks at a glance

To configure a PPPoE client, perform the following tasks:

1. Configuring a dialer interface

2. Configuring a PPPoE session

3. (Optional.) Resetting a PPPoE session

Configuring a dialer interface

About this task

Before establishing a PPPoE session, you must first create a dialer interface and configure bundle DDR on the interface. Each PPPoE session uniquely corresponds to a dialer bundle, and each dialer bundle uniquely corresponds to a dialer interface. A PPPoE session uniquely corresponds to a dialer interface.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Create a dialer group and configure a dial rule.

dialer-group group-number rule { ip | ipv6 } { deny | permit | acl { acl-number | name acl-name } }

Configure this command only when the PPPoE session operates in on-demand mode.

3. Create a dialer interface and enter its view.

interface dialer number

4. Assign an IP address to the interface.

ip address { address mask | ppp-negotiate }

By default, no IP address is configured.

5. Enable bundle DDR on the interface.

dialer bundle enable

By default, bundle DDR is disabled.

6. Associate the interface with the dial rule by associating the interface with the corresponding dialer group.

dialer-group group-number

By default, a dialer interface is not assigned to any dialer group.

Configure this command only when the PPPoE session operates in on-demand mode.

7. Configure the link-idle timeout timer.

dialer timer idle idle [ in | in-out ]

The default setting is 120 seconds.

When this timer is set to 0 seconds, the PPPoE session operates in permanent mode. Otherwise, the PPPoE session operates in on-demand mode.

8. Configure the DDR application to operate in diagnostic mode.

dialer diagnose [ interval interval ]

By default, the DDR application operates in non-diagnostic mode.

Execute this command only when the PPPoE session operates in diagnostic mode.

9. (Optional.) Set the auto-dial interval.

dialer timer autodial autodial-interval

The default setting is 300 seconds.

DDR starts the auto-dial timer after the link is disconnected and originates a new call when the auto-dial timer expires.

As a best practice, set a shorter auto-dial interval for DDR to soon originate a new call.

10. (Optional.) Set the MTU for the dialer interface

mtu size

By default, the MTU on a dialer interface is 1500 bytes.

The dialer interface fragments a packet that exceeds the configured MTU, and adds a 2-byte PPP header and a 6-byte PPPoE header to each fragment. You should modify the MTU of a dialer interface to make sure the total length of any fragment packet is less than the MTU of the physical interface.

Configuring a PPPoE session

About this task

After a PPPoE session is successfully established, the system automatically creates a VA interface for exchanging packets with the peer. To display information about VA interfaces, execute the display interface virtual-access command. VA interfaces cannot be manually configured.

After the PPPoE session is terminated, the corresponding VA interface is automatically deleted.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

3. Create a PPPoE session and specify a dialer bundle for the session.

pppoe-client dial-bundle-number number [ no-hostuniq ]

Resetting a PPPoE session

About this task

After you reset a PPPoE session in permanent mode, the device establishes a new PPPoE session when the autodial timer expires.

After you reset a PPPoE session in on-demand mode, the device establishes a new PPPoE session when there is a demand for data transmission.

Procedure

To reset a PPPoE session, execute the following command in user view:

reset pppoe-client { all | dial-bundle-number number }

Example: Configuring PPPoE server to assign address pools and VPNs

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 10, configure the PPPoE server to meet the following requirements:

· The PPPoE server uses the RADIUS server to perform authentication, authorization, and accounting for access users

· The RADIUS server assigns access users a PPP address pool named pool1 and a VPN instance named vpn1.

· Users in vpn1 obtain IP addresses from PPP address pool pool1.

Figure 10 Network diagram

‌

Procedure

1. Configure the MPLS L3VPN feature.

For the two ends of VPN 1 to communicate with each other, specify the same route target attributes on the two PEs (Router A and Router B). This example describes only the authentication-related configuration on the PE that is connected to the PPPoE client. For information about configuring MPLS L3VPN, see MPLS Configuration Guide.

2. Configure the RADIUS server:

This example uses Free RADIUS that runs in the Linux operating system.

# Add the following text to the client.conf file to configure RADIUS client information.

client 10.1.1.1/24 {

secret = radius

shortname = device

}

Where, secret represents the shared key for authentication, authorization, and accounting.

# Add the following text to the users.conf file to configure legal user information.

user1 Auth-Type == CHAP,User-Password := pass1

Service-Type = Framed-User,

Framed-Protocol = PPP,

Framed-Pool = "pool1",

H3C-VPN-Instance = "vpn1",

3. Configure Router A:

a. Configure the PPPoE server:

# Configure Virtual-Template 1 to use CHAP for authentication and use ISP domain dm1 as the authentication domain.
