The PPPoE server settings are adjusted in LANconfig under .
In this view, you have the following configuration options:
- PPPoE server enabled
- Using these settings you globally enable or disable the PPPoE server.
- Port table
- Using this table the PPPoE server can be independently enabled or disabled for every physical or logical interface.
- Server name
- This input field provides the option to give the PPPoE server a name that is independent of the device name (AC-Name = access concentrator name). If you leave this field blank, the PPPoE server uses the device name as the server name.
- Service name
- Enter the name of the service being offered in this input field. The service name makes it possible for a PPPoE client to select a specific PPPoE server. Configure the service name directly on the client.
- Session limit
- This setting specifies how often a client can be logged on simultaneously with the same MAC address. Once the limit has been reached, the server no longer responds to any client requests it receives. A Session limit of 0 stands for an unlimited number of sessions.
- Remote sites (PPPoE)
- In this table you define the individual clients which the PPPoE server allows to access the desired services (such as Internet, e-mail) or specific remote stations.
-
Note: The MAC address000000000000 allows a remote station to login to the device with any MAC address. If a specific MAC address is entered, then the PPP negotiation is terminated if the user logs on from a different MAC address.
-
Note: After login, the device attempts to set the Hold time of the remote station. If there is no entry, the device uses the remote site DEFAULT.
- In addition to this table, you must make an entry into the PPP table containing the password, the permissions (IP, IPX,NetBIOS), and other PPP parameters (LCP polling, etc.). Alternatively, you also have the option to authenticate users through a RADIUS server. To do this, you configure the server under . Set the operating mode to Exclusive (RADIUS only) or Activated (mixed data storage, RADIUS/PPP table).
