Configuring a PPPoE Client

The PPPoE client configuration is simple and straightforward. First, you need to create a 

dialer interface and then tie it to a physical interface.

Here are the easy steps:

1.

  Create a dialer interface using the 

interface dialer 

number

 command.

2.

  Instruct the client to use an IP address provided by the PPPoE server with the 

ip 

address negotiated

 command.

3.

  Set the encapsulation type to PPP.

4.

  Configure the dialer pool and number.

5.

  Under the physical interface, use the 

pppoe-client dial-pool number 

number

 

command.

On your PPPoE client router, enter the following commands:

R1# 

conf t

R1(config)# 

int dialer1

R1(config-if)#
