# pppoe sessions

#### Syntax

pppoe sessions sessions

no pppoe sessions

#### Release Information

Command introduced before JunosE Release 7.1.0.

#### Description

Specifies the number of subinterfaces permitted on a PPPoE interface. The command affects only subinterfaces that are created after the command is entered. Previously created interfaces remain, even if their number exceeds the new value of the parameter. The no version restores the default value, 8000 (ERX routers) and 16,000 (E120 and E320 routers). For ES2 10G ADV LM, the default value is 32,000 (E120 and E320 routers).

#### Options

- sessions—Number of subinterfaces permitted on the interface in the range 1–8000 (ERX routers) or 1–32,000 (E120 and E320 routers). On the ES2 10G ADV LM (E120 and E320 routers), you can have PPPoE subinterfaces in the range 1–32,000. The default value is 8000 (ERX routers) or 16,000 (E120 and E320 routers). For ES2 10G ADV LM, the default value is 32,000 (E120 and E320 routers).

  | Note: The number of subinterfaces permitted on the interface for E120 and E320 routers is in the range 1–32,000 irrespective of the type of line module. However, if you specify a value greater than the number of subinterfaces supported by a line module, the number of subinterfaces created is the default maximum value for that line module. For example, if you specify the number of subinterfaces for a ES2 4G LM as 32,000 interfaces, the number of subinterfaces created is 16,000, which is the default maximum value for the ES2 4G LM.
