DESCRIPTION
Active
Select this option to enable the PPPoE intermediate agent globally on the Switch.
access-node-
identifier
Enter up to 20 ASCII characters to identify the PPPoE intermediate agent. Hyphens (-) and
spaces are also allowed. The default is the Switch’s host name.
circuit-id
Use this section to configure the Circuit ID field in the PADI and PADR packets.
The Circuit ID you configure for a specific port or for a specific VLAN on a port has priority over
this.
The Circuit ID you configure for a specific port (in the
Advanced Application > PPPoE >
Intermediate Agent > Port
screen) or for a specific VLAN on a port (in the
Advanced Application
> PPPoE > Intermediate Agent > Port > VLAN
screen) has priority over this. That means, if you also
want to configure PPPoE IA Per-Port or Per-Port Per-VLAN setting, leave the fields here empty
and configure circuit-id and remote-id in the Per-Port or Per-Port Per-VLAN screen.
Active
Select this option to have the Switch add the user-defined identifier string and variables
(specified in the
option
field) to PADI or PADR packets from PPPoE clients.
If you leave this option unselected and do not configure any Circuit ID string on the Switch, the
Switch will use the string specified in the
access-node-identifier
field.
identifier-
string
Specify a string that the Switch adds in the Agent Circuit ID sub-option. You can enter up to 53
ASCII characters. Spaces are allowed.
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. The Switch enters a zero into the PADI and
PADR packets for the slot value.
delimiter
Select a delimiter to separate the identifier-string, 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.
