This document describes how to configure PPPoE (Point-to-Point over Ethernet) on a Cisco 910 Industrial Router. It discusses configuring a VPDN group, Ethernet WAN interface, dialer interface, connecting to the PPPoE service, and monitoring the PPPoE client. The configuration includes setting the tunneling protocol to PPPoE, specifying the dialer interface and pool, setting the authentication method to CHAP, and defining the CHAP hostname and password.

This section describes how to configure the Point-to-Point over Ethernet (PPPoE) client on the Cisco 910 Industrial Routers (hereafter referred to as the router). It includes the following topics: • PPPoE Client Overview, page 17-1 • Configuring PPPoE, page 17-1 • Monitoring the PPPoE Client, page 17-3
PPPoE Client Overview
The Point-to-Point over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a network protocol for encapsulating PPP frames inside Ethernet frame. PPPoE combines Ethernet and PPP, to provide an authenticated method of assigning IP addresses to client systems. The Cisco 910 Industrial Router can be configured as a PPPoE client, so that a tunnel can be established for the router to access the WAN. At system initialization, the PPPoE client establishes a session with the access concentrator by exchanging a series of packets. Once the session is established, a PPP link is set up, which includes authentication using Password Authentication protocol (PAP). Once the PPP session is established, each packet is encapsulated in the PPPoE and PPP headers.
Configuring PPPoE This section contains the following information: • Configuring VPDN Group, page 17-2 • Configuring Ethernet WAN Interface, page 17-2 • Configuring the Dialer Interface, page 17-2 • Connecting to the PPPoE Service, page 17-3
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the VPDN group:
Command Purpose Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode. Step 2 vpdn-group number Create and associate a Virtual Private Dialup Network (VPDN) group with a customer or VPDN profile. For number, enter the group number. Step 3 request dialin Create a request dial-in VPDN subgroup that configures the router to request the establishment of a dial-in tunnel to a tunnel server, and enters VPDN request-dialin group configuration mode. Step 4 protocol pppoe Specify the PPPoE tunneling protocol that a VPDN subgroup will use. Step 5 exit Return to global configuration mode. Step 6 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Configuring Ethernet WAN Interface
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the Ethernet WAN interface:
Command Purpose Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode. Step 2 interface type number Enter interface configuration mode for the WAN interface. Step 3 pppoe-client dial-pool-number number Configure the PPPoE client and specifies the dialer interface to use for cloning Step 4 exit Return to global configuration mode. Step 5 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Configuring the Dialer Interface
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the dialer interface: Specifies the dialing pool to use to connect to a specific destination subnetwork
Command Purpose Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode. Step 2 interface dialer number Enter interface configuration mode for the dialer interface. Step 3 ip address negotiated Specify that the IP address for a particular interface is obtained via PPP/IPCP address negotiation. Step 4 dialer-pool number Specify the dialer pool to use to connect to a specific destination subnetwork. Step 5 dialer-group number Assign the dialer interface to a dialer group. This command applies the interesting traffic definition to the interface.

Command Purpose Step 6 ppp authentication chap Set the PPP authentication method to Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) Step 7 ppp chap hostname username Define an interface-specific CHAP hostname. Step 8 ppp chap password password Define an interface-specific CHAP password. Step 9 exit Return to global configuration mode. Step 10 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Connecting to the PPPoE Service
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to connect to the PPPoE service:
Command Purpose Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode. Step 2 pppoe profile_name Connect to the PPPoE service. For profile_name, specify the target tunnel profile. Step 3 exit Return to global configuration mode. Step 4 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
To disconnect from the PPPoE service, use the no pppoe privileged EXEC command.
Monitoring the PPPoE Client
Use the show interface Dialer global configuration command to display the dialer interface statistics. The following example shows a sample output of the show interface Dialer command: Router# show interface Dialer 0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:10.100.11.16 P-t-P:10.100.11.10 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1492 Metric:1 RX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:125 (125.0 B) TX bytes:113 (113.0 B)
