PPPoE Session Limiting on Inner QinQ VLAN

First Published: December 4, 2006
Last Updated: October 2, 2009

The PPPoE Session Limiting on Inner QinQ VLAN feature allows a service provider to limit each customer to one PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) client in use by providing the ability to limit the number of PPPoE over QinQ (IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tunnel) sessions based on the inner VLAN ID configured under a subinterface. This capability eliminates the need to configure large numbers of subinterfaces.

Restrictions for PPPoE Session Limiting on Inner QinQ VLAN

•Do not configure the inner VLAN session limit to be greater than the outer session limit.

Information About PPPoE Session Limiting on Inner QinQ VLAN

To configure the PPPoE Session Limiting on Inner QinQ VLAN feature, you should understand the following concepts:

•Benefits of PPPoE Session Limiting on Inner QinQ VLAN

•Feature Design of PPPoE Session Limiting on Inner QinQ VLAN

Benefits of PPPoE Session Limiting on Inner QinQ VLAN

•Facilitates the ability to provision thousands of PPPoE over QinQ sessions having unique inner VLANs using simpler and easier to manage configurations.

•Allows service providers to limit PPPoE sessions based on the QinQ inner VLAN ID.

Feature Design of PPPoE Session Limiting on Inner QinQ VLAN

Prior to the PPPoE Session Limiting on Inner QinQ VLAN feature, PPPoE session limiting required a QinQ subinterface to be configured for each QinQ inner VLAN to be session limited, resulting in configuration requirements that did not scale to large numbers of QinQ VLAN ID pairs. The PPPoE Session Limiting on Inner QinQ VLAN feature adds broadband remote access server (BRAS) capability for configuring a single subinterface for all the unique inner VLAN IDs per outer VLAN while limiting one session per inner VLAN.

Figure 1 shows a typical implementation of the PPPoE Session Limiting on Inner QinQ VLAN feature.

•show pppoe summary

Configuration Examples for PPPoE Session Limiting on Inner QinQ VLAN

This section provides the following configuration example:

•PPPoE Session Limiting on Inner QinQ VLAN: Example

PPPoE Session Limiting on Inner QinQ VLAN: Example

The following example shows how to enable PPPoE over QinQ session limiting on Ethernet interface 3/1.1 with outer VLAN ID 10 and a unique inner VLAN ID for each session. 

bba-group pppoe group1	

 virtual-template 1

 sessions per-vlan limit 1000 inner 65

interface ethernet3/1.1

 encapsulation dot1q 10 second-dot1q any

 enable group group1

The following example shows how to configure the PPPoE Session Limiting on Inner QinQ VLAN feature on the Cisco 10000: 

bba-group pppoe PPPOE-LIMIT

 virtual-template 1

sessions per-mac limit 1000 inner 65

!

interface FastEthernet1/1.201

 description connected to Cat Switch

 encapsulation dot1Q 201

 pppoe enable group PPPOE-LIMIT

!

interface FastEthernet1/1.202

 description connected to Cat Switch

 encapsulation dot1Q 202

 pppoe enable group PPPOE-LIMIT

!

interface Virtual-Template1

 ip address negotiated

 no logging event link-status

 ppp chap hostname pppoeuser

 ppp chap password 0 cisco

!

end

The following example shows how to configure a Catalyst switch (see Figure 1) to transport PPPoE over inner QinQ: 

interface FastEthernet0/1

 description connected to UUT

 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

 switchport trunk allowed vlan 301

 switchport mode trunk

!

interface FastEthernet0/2

 description connected to Client

 switchport access vlan 301

switchport mode dot1q-tunnel
