PPPoE Profiles

---

The PPPoE Profiles feature introduces PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) profiles, which contain configuration information for a group of PPPoE sessions. Multiple PPPoE profiles can be defined on a device, allowing different virtual templates and other PPPoE configuration parameters to be assigned to different Ethernet interfaces, VLANs, and ATM permanent virtual circuits (PVCs).

Restrictions for PPPoE Profiles

The PPPoE Profiles feature separates the configuration of PPPoE from virtual private dial-up network (VPDN). The legacy method of configuring PPPoE in VPDN groups is still permitted, but you cannot configure PPPoE profiles and PPPoE in VPDN groups simultaneously.

If a PPPoE profile is assigned to a PPPoE port (Ethernet interface, VLAN, or PVC), virtual circuit (VC) class, or ATM PVC range and the profile has not yet been defined, the port, VC class, or range will not have any PPPoE parameters configured and will not use parameters from the global group.

PPPoE session limits cannot be configured both in PPPoE profiles and directly on PPPoE ports simultaneously.

Information About PPPoE Profiles

To configure the PPPoE Profiles feature, you should understand the following concepts:

•PPPoE Profiles

•Benefits of PPPoE Profiles

•PPPoE Vendor Tag Processing

PPPoE Profiles

PPPoE profiles contain configuration information for PPPoE sessions. Once a profile has been defined, it can be assigned to a PPPoE port (Ethernet interface, VLAN, or PVC), a VC class, or an ATM PVC range. PPPoE profiles can also be used for PPPoE sessions established by PPPoA/PPPoE autosense. Multiple PPPoE profiles can be created and assigned to different ports. A global PPPoE profile can also be created; it serves as the default profile for any port that has not been assigned a specific PPPoE profile.

Benefits of PPPoE Profiles

Before the introduction of this feature, PPPoE parameters were configured within a VPDN group. Configuring PPPoE in a VPDN group limited PPPoE configuration options because only one PPPoE VPDN group with one virtual template is permitted on a device. The PPPoE Profiles feature provides simplicity and flexibility in PPPoE configuration by separating PPPoE from VPDN configuration. The PPPoE Profiles feature allows multiple PPPoE profiles, each with a different configuration, to be used on a single device.

PPPoE Vendor Tag Processing

The PPPoE vendor tag processing feature enables Ethernet-based access network services by providing a mechanism for a PPPoE Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) to map a subscriber's circuit ID (that is, the line ID) to a specific Ethernet interface.

A Digital Subscriber Line Multiplexer (DSLAM) can be configured to insert a unique circuit-id tag into a PPPoE Active Discovery Initiation/PPPoE Active Discovery Request (PADI/PADR) frame. You can create a PPPoE profile to enable the PPPoE BRAS to process the vendor-tag and either to send the circuit-id portion of the tag (as the NAS-Port-ID attribute) to the RADIUS server in all AAA access requests, or to strip the vendor tag from outgoing PPPoE Active Discovery Offer (PADO) and PPPoE Active Discovery Session (PADS) frames.

Usage Guidelines

PPPoE profiles contain the configuration for a group of PPPoE sessions. Once a profile has been defined, it can be assigned to a PPPoE port (Ethernet interface, VLAN, or PVC), a virtual circuit (VC) class, or an ATM PVC range. PPPoE profiles can also be used with PPP over ATM (PPPoA)/PPPoE autosense. Multiple PPPoE profiles can be created and assigned to different ports.

The global PPPoE profile serves as the default profile for any port that has not been assigned a specific PPPoE profile.

Examples

The following example shows the configuration of a global PPPoE profile and a profile called "vpn1". PPPoE sessions established on PVCs that use the VC class "class-pppoe-global" will use the global profile. PVCs in the range "range-pppoe-1" will use the "vpn1" profile.

Usage Guidelines

---

Note To configure Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI), QSAAL, or Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS) encapsulations for an ATM PVC, use the pvc command.

---

Use the aal5mux encapsulation option to dedicate the specified PVC to a single protocol; use the aal5snap encapsulation option to multiplex two or more protocols over the same PVC. Whether you select aal5mux or aal5snap encapsulation might depend on practical considerations, such as the type of network and the pricing offered by the network. If the pricing of the network depends on the number of PVCs set up, aal5snap might be the appropriate choice. If pricing depends on the number of bytes transmitted, aal5mux might be the appropriate choice because it has slightly less overhead.

Encapsulation for PPPoA

When configuring Cisco PPP over ATM, use the aal5ciscoppp keyword and specify the virtual template number.

It is possible to implicitly create a virtual template when configuring Cisco PPP over ATM. In other words, if the parameters of the virtual template are not explicitly defined before you configure the ATM PVC, the PPP interface will be brought up using default values from the virtual template identified. However, some parameters (such as an IP address) take effect only if they are specified before the PPP interface comes up. Therefore, we recommend that you explicitly create and configure the virtual template before configuring the ATM PVC to ensure that such parameters take effect.

If you specify virtual template parameters after the ATM PVC is configured, you should enter a shutdown command followed by a no shutdown command on the ATM subinterface to restart the interface, causing the newly configured parameters (such as an IP address) to take effect.

Configuring PPPoA/PPPoE Autosense

Use the encapsulation aal5autoppp virtual-template template-number command to configure PPPoA/PPPoE autosense. PPPoA/PPPoE autosense enables a router to distinguish between incoming PPPoA and PPPoE sessions and create virtual access for both PPP types based on demand.

If a PPPoE profile is not specified by using the group group-name option, PPPoE sessions will be established using parameters from the global PPPoE profile. PPPoE profiles must be configured using the bba-group pppoe command.

---

Note Do not use this command on a router that initiates PPPoA sessions.

---

Entering the no encapsulation aal5autoppp virtual-template command will terminate the PPPoA or PPPoE session and detach the virtual-access interface from the PVC.

Configuring Encapsulation for VC Bundles

Before using this command to configure a VC bundle, enter the bundle subinterface configuration command to create a new bundle or modify an existing one and to enter bundle configuration mode.

A VC bundle can have only one encapsulation configured for it: either aal5snap or aal5mux.

Encapsulation Rules of Precedence

If the encapsulation command is not explicitly configured on an ATM PVC, SVC, or VC bundle, the VC inherits the following default configuration (listed in order of precedence from lowest to highest):

•Configuration of the encapsulation command in a VC class assigned to the PVC, PVC bundle, or SVC itself.

•Configuration of the encapsulation command in a VC class assigned to the ATM subinterface of the PVC, SVC, or VC bundle.

•Configuration of the encapsulation command in a VC class assigned to the ATM main interface of the PVC, SVC, or VC bundle.

•Global encapsulation option default: aal5snap

---

Note When a VC is a member of a VC bundle, configuration using the encapsulation command in VC-class mode no longer applies to the VC. Bundle configuration takes precedence.

---

Configuring Encapsulation for a PVC Range

When a PVC range or an individual PVC within a PVC range is being configured, the following options are available:

•encapsulation aal5ciscoppp

•encapsulation aal5mux

•encapsulation aal5snap

Examples

Usage Guidelines

Interface Range Configuration Mode

IEEE 802.1q encapsulation is configurable on Fast Ethernet interfaces. IEEE 802.1q is a standard protocol for interconnecting multiple switches and routers and for defining VLAN topologies.

Use the encapsulation dot1q command in interface range configuration mode to apply a VLAN ID to each subinterface within the range specified by the interface range command. The VLAN ID specified by the vlan-id argument is applied to the first subinterface in the range. Each subsequent interface is assigned a VLAN ID, which is the specified vlan-id plus the subinterface number minus the first subinterface number (VLAN ID + subinterface number - first subinterface number).

Do not configure encapsulation on the native VLAN of an IEEE 802.1q trunk without using the native keyword. (Always use the native keyword when vlan-id is the ID of the IEEE 802.1q native VLAN.)

Subinterface Configuration Mode

Use the second-dot1q keyword to configure the IEEE 802.1Q-in-Q VLAN Tag Termination feature. Q-in-Q VLAN tag termination adds another layer of 802.1q tag (called "metro tag" or "PE-VLAN") to the 802.1q tagged packets that enter the network. Double tagging expands the VLAN space, allowing service providers to offer certain services such as Internet access on specific VLANs for some customers and other types of services on other VLANs for other customers.

After a subinterface is defined, use the encapsulation dot1q command to add outer and inner VLAN ID tags to allow one VLAN to support multiple VLANs. You can assign a specific inner VLAN ID to the subinterface; that subinterface is unambiguous. Or you can assign a range or ranges of inner VLAN IDs to the subinterface; that subinterface is ambiguous.

Examples

The following example shows how to create the subinterfaces within the range 0.11 and 0.60 and apply VLAN ID 101 to the Fast Ethernet0/0.11 subinterface, VLAN ID 102 to Fast Ethernet0/0.12 (vlan-id = 101 + 12 - 11 = 102), and so on up to VLAN ID 150 to Fast Ethernet0/0.60 (vlan-id = 101 + 60 - 11 = 150):

Router(config)# interface range fastethernet0/0.11 - fastethernet0/0.60

Router(config-int-range)# encapsulation dot1q 101

The following example shows how to terminate a Q-in-Q frame on an unambiguous subinterface with an outer VLAN ID of 100 and an inner VLAN ID of 200:

Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/0.1

Router(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 100 second-dot1q 200

The following example shows how to terminate a Q-in-Q frame on an ambiguous subinterface with an outer VLAN ID of 100 and an inner VLAN ID in the range from 100 to 199 or from 201 to 600:

Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/0.1

Router(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 100 second-dot1q 100-199,201-600

Command History

Release	Modification
12.3(7)XI3	This command was introduced.
12.2(27)SBA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(27)SBA.

Usage Guidelines

The PPPoE vendor tag processing feature enables Ethernet-based access network services by providing a mechanism for a PPPoE Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) to map a subscriber's circuit ID (that is, the line ID) to a specific Ethernet interface.

A Digital Subscriber Line Multiplexer (DSLAM) can be configured to insert a unique circuit-id tag into a PPPoE Active Discovery Initiation/PPPoE Active Discovery Request (PADI/PADR) frame. When enabled with the vendor-tag circuit-id service command, the PPPoE BRAS will process the vendor-tag and send the circuit-id portion of the tag (as the NAS-Port-ID attribute) to the RADIUS server in all AAA access requests.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the PPPoE server to process received vendor tags and forward the circuit-id field to the RADIUS server as the NAS-Port-ID attribute:

bba-group pppoe pppoe-tag

 sessions per-mac limit 50

 vendor-tag circuit-id service

vendor-tag circuit-id strip

To enable the PPPoE server to strip the vendor-specific function (VSF) tag from outgoing PPPoE Active Discovery Offer (PADO) and PPPoE Active Discovery Session (PADS) frames, use the vendor-tag circuit-id strip command in global configuration mode. To disable vendor-tag stripping, use the no form of this command.

vendor-tag circuit-id strip

no vendor-tag circuit-id strip

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Vendor-tag stripping is disabled by default.

12.2(27)SBA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(27)SBA.

Usage Guidelines

Each PPPoE profile can clone virtual-access interfaces using only one virtual template. If you enter a second virtual-template command in a PPPoE profile, it will replace the first virtual-template command.

You can configure different PPPoE profiles to use different virtual templates. You can also configure multiple PPPoE profiles to use the same virtual template.

Examples

The following example shows the configuration of two PPPoE profiles:

bba-group pppoe vpn1 

 virtual-template 1 

 sessions per-vc limit 2 

 sessions per-mac limit 1
