Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 10.2.

Description

Configure the maximum number of active PPPoE sessions using either static or dynamic PPPoE interfaces that the router can establish with the specified named service, empty service, or any service entry in a PPPoE service name table. The router maintains a count of active PPPoE sessions for each service entry to determine when the maximum sessions limit has been reached.

The router uses the max-sessions value for a PPPoE service name table entry in conjunction with the max-sessions value configured for the PPPoE underlying interface, and with the maximum number of PPPoE sessions supported on your router. If your configuration exceeds any of these maximum session limits, the router is unable to establish the PPPoE session.

Options

number—Maximum number of active PPPoE sessions that the router can establish with the specified PPPoE service name table entry, in the range 1 to the platform-specific maximum PPPoE sessions supported for your router. The default value is equal to the maximum number of PPPoE sessions supported on your routing platform.

For information about scaling values for PPPoE interfaces, access the Subscriber Management Scaling Values (XLS) spreadsheet from the Downloads box on the Junos OS Subscriber Management pathway page for the current release.
