NAME

pppoec.conf — PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) client configuration file

DESCRIPTION

pppoec.conf is the configuration file for the pppoec daemon. This file is read by pppoec to initialize the client. The default file is /etc/ppp/pppoec.conf. Note that, you cannot run pppoec without this configuration file. Each entry in the pppoec.conf file is separated by a new line. Blank lines and lines that begin with # are ignored.

Parameters

pppoec.conf contains the following parameters:

service

Specify the name of the service that the client requires. A value of any implies that the client is ready to accept any service from the access concentrator.

acname

Specify the name of the access concentrator from which you wish to avail service.

host-unique

Specify a tag used by the client to uniquely associate an access concentrator's response (PADO or PADS) to a particular client request (PADI or PADR). pppoec generates a unique binary value and includes this value in the Host-Uniq tag in a PADI or PADR packet.

retry-number

Specify the number of times pppoec tries to retransmit either a PADI or PADR packet when an access concentrator does not respond to the client's request. The default value is 3.

timeout

Specify the timeout value in seconds. pppoec waits for this duration to receive either a PADO or PADS packet before retransmitting a PADI/PADR packet. The default value is 15 seconds.

pppd-options

Specify the command-line options of pppd. See pppd(1) for more information. The mru option of pppd will be included and it will be set to 1492.
