    Broadband Subscriber Management PPPoE Layer 3 Wholesale Topology and Configuration Elements

    The network topology for the subscriber management PPPoE Layer 3 wholesale solution includes configuring separate routing instances for individual retailers that use a portion of the router.

    To explain the concept, but to limit complexity, this solution provides a configuration with one wholesaler and only two retailers. Figure 1 illustrates a basic PPPoE Layer 3 wholesale topology model from which you can expand.

Subscriber Management PPPoE Layer 3 Wholesale Solution Topology

    When you are configuring a PPPoE Layer 3 wholesale network solution, the following configuration elements are required:

    • Subscriber network VLAN configuration
    • Addressing server or addressing server access configuration
    • RADIUS server access configuration
    • Dynamic profile configuration for default (wholesaler) access
    • Routing instance configuration for individual retailers
    • Group configuration and forwarding options for the network
    • Core network configuration

    This implementation of PPPoE Layer 3 wholesale supports the following:

    • Dynamic PPPoE interface creation.
    • Static VLAN use only.
    • AAA server assignment of subscribers to different routing instances within the same (default) logical system only.
