Configure a PPPoE Interface
Let us learn to configure a PPPoE interface.
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)
is a configuration option for Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) circuits.
You can configure PPPoE only on WAN ports and physical interfaces.
You cannot configure it on sub-interfaces or logical interfaces
such as bypass pairs or an interface with Layer 3 configuration,
such as DHCP or static IP addresses.
Upon completing PPPoE
authentication, the system establishes a connection with the DSL
provider. In the event of PPPoE connection failures or termination,
this PPPoE logical interface displays as down.
A logical PPPoE
interface acts as the underlay interface for all Prisma SD-WAN-related
features, statistics, counters, and configuration.
- Navigate to , select a device and clickConfigure the device.
- Select theInterfacestab.
- Select a port.
- ForAdmin Up, selectYes.
- (Optional)Enter aDescription.
- ForInterface Type, selectPort.
- ForPPPOE Attached?, selectYesand thenSave Port.PPPoE is now attached to an interface. Proceed to configure PPPoE attributes.
- ForUse This Port For, selectInternetorPrivate WANfrom the drop-down.
- Select aCircuit Label.
- To enable this port to forward direct traffic and establish secure fabric links as per the site network policy, select a Circuit Label from the drop-down.
- If no label is selected, the port continues to be active and available for communication with the Prisma SD-WAN controller and for reporting statistics, but all network policy traffic ignores this interface.
- ForConfiguration, chooseNegotiatedorStatic.
- Negotiated indicates that the IP address is negotiated with the PPPoE server.
- Static indicates that the IP address is statically configured. If the IP address is static, the system ignores any PPPoE server-provided IP address and use the static IP address instead.
- (Optional)EnterUsernameandPassword.
- Proceed toAdvanced Options.
