Release Information

Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Support at the [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number pppoe-underlying-options] and [edit logical-systems logical-system-name interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number pppoe-underlying-options] hierarchy levels introduced in Junos OS Release 10.1.

Support at the [edit ... family pppoe] hierarchies introduced in Junos OS Release 11.2.

Description

(J Series Services Routers with Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) interfaces) Configure the name of the access concentrator. If you configure a specific access concentrator name on the client and the same access concentrator name server is available, then a PPPoE session is established. If there is a mismatch between the access concentrator names of the client and the server, the PPPoE session gets closed.

If you do not configure the access concentrator name, the PPPoE session starts using any available server in the network.

(Intelligent Queuing 2 (IQ2) PICs on M120 and M320 routers; MPCs on MX Series routers) Configure an alternative access concentrator name in the AC-NAME tag in a PPPoE control packet for use with a dynamic PPPoE subscriber interface. If you do not configure the access concentrator name, the AC-NAME tag contains the system name.

Note: The [edit ... family pppoe] hierarchies are supported only on MX Series routers with MPCs.
