Feature Information for Enabling PPPoE Relay Discovery and Service Selection Functionality
Enabling PPPoE Relay Discovery and Service Selection Functionality
The PPPoE Relay feature enables an L2TP access concentrator (LAC) to relay active discovery and service selection functionality for PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), over a Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) control channel, to an L2TP network server (LNS) or tunnel switch (multihop node). The relay functionality of this feature allows the LNS or tunnel switch to advertise the services it offers to the client, thereby providing end-to-end control of services between the LNS and a PPPoE client.

Information About Enabling PPPoE Relay Discovery and Service Selection Functionality
To configure PPPoE relay, you need to understand the following concept:
•
L2TP Active Discovery Relay for PPPoE
The PPPoE protocol described in RFC 2516 defines a method for active discovery and service selection of devices in the network by an LAC. A PPPoE client uses these methods to discover an access concentrator in the network, and the access concentrator uses these methods to advertise the services it offers.
The PPPoE Relay feature introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)T allows the active discovery and service selection functionality to be offered by the LNS, rather than just by the LAC. The PPPoE Relay feature implements the Network Working Group Internet-Draft titled L2TP Active Discovery Relay for PPPoE. The Internet-Draft describes how to relay PPPoE Active Discovery (PAD) and Service Relay Request (SRRQ) messages over an L2TP control channel (the tunnel). (See the "RFCs" section for information on how to access Network Working Group Internet-Drafts.)
The key benefit of the PPPoE Relay feature is end-to-end control of services between the LNS and a PPPoE client.
How to Enable PPPoE Relay Discovery and Service Selection Functionality
This section contains the following procedures:
•
•
•
Configuring the LAC and Tunnel Switch for PPPoE Relay
Perform this task to configure the LAC and tunnel switch for PPPoE Relay, which configures a subscriber profile that directs PAD messages to be relayed on an L2TP tunnel. The subscriber profile also will contain an authorization key for the outgoing L2TP tunnel.

Step 3
subscriber profile profile-name
Example:Router(config)# subscriber profile profile-1
Configures the subscriber profile name and enters subscriber profile configuration mode.
•
Step 4
service relay pppoe vpdn group vpdn-group-name
Example:Router(config-sss-profile)# service relay pppoe vpdn group Group-A
Provides PPPoE relay service using a VPDN L2TP tunnel for the relay. The VPDN group name specified is used to obtain outgoing L2TP tunnel information.
•
Step 5
exit
Example:Router(config-sss-profile)# exit
(Optional) Ends the configuration session and returns to privileged EXEC mode.
RADIUS Subscriber Profile Entry for the LAC
The following example shows how to enter Subscriber Service Switch subscriber service attributes in a AAA RADIUS server profile.
profile-1 = profile-name...Cisco:Cisco-Avpair = "sss:sss-service=relay-pppoe"
What to Do Next
Configure the LNS side of the configuration by performing the tasks described in the "Configuring the LNS (or Multihop Node) to Respond to Relayed PAD Messages" section.
Configuring the LNS (or Multihop Node) to Respond to Relayed PAD Messages
On the router that responds to relayed PAD messages, perform this task to configure a PPPoE group and attach it to a VPDN group that accepts dial-in calls for L2TP. The relayed PAD messages will be passed from the VPDN L2TP tunnel and session to the PPPoE broadband group for receiving the PAD responses.

The PPPoE Relay feature enables an L2TP access concentrator (LAC) to relay active discovery and service selection functionality for PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), over a Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) control channel, to an L2TP network server (LNS) or tunnel switch (multihop node).
