Configuring Dynamic PPPoE Subscriber Interfaces Using Dynamic Profiles

You can configure dynamic PPP-over-Ethernet (PPPoE) subscriber interfaces by using dynamic profiles. To enable the router to create a dynamic PPPoE logical interface on a static underlying Ethernet interface, you define the attributes of the PPPoE logical interface in a dynamic profile, and then configure the underlying interface to use the dynamic profile.

To configure a dynamic PPPoE logical interface:

  1. Configure a dynamic profile to define the attributes of the PPPoE logical interface.
  2. Configure the underlying Ethernet interface to use the dynamic profile for PPPoE.

    See Configuring an Underlying Interface for Dynamic PPPoE Subscriber Interfaces.

  3. (Optional) Verify the dynamic PPPoE configuration by displaying or clearing PPPoE session statistics, and displaying information about the underlying Ethernet interface and PPPoE logical interface.

    See Verifying and Managing Dynamic PPPoE Configuration.
