Hey,

I'm trying to configure a Cisco running IOS 12.2(11)T to terminate a PPPoE session from a nearby Linux box.

How do I set up the Service Name on the router that will match what the Client will send out in the PADI?

Been search through the Cisco site for a while now - anyone done this before?

cheers

Finally figured this one out with a bit of tcpdump

tcpdump -i eth0 ether proto 0x8863 '||' ether proto 0x8864

Cisco Routers send back their host name as the AC_NAME - so long as your PPPoE Client is configured to use that AC_NAME then the Cisco just echoes back the Service Name that the PPPoE client originally requested.

Not exactly what I wanted but hey I've now got multiple PPPoE sessions running into the router which is what I needed to keep my customer happy

best
Ex
