 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      pppoesd.conf - PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) server
      configuration file

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      pppoesd.conf is the configuration file for the pppoesd daemon.  This
      file is read by pppoesd to initialize the server.  The default file is
      /etc/ppp/pppoesd.conf.  You can use this file to set parameters for
      each network interface used by pppoesd during PPPoE sessions.  Each
      entry in the pppoesd.conf file is of the following format:

           parameter=value

      Each entry in the configuration file is separated by a blank line.
      Blank lines and lines that begin with # are ignored.

    Parameters    [Toc]    [Back]
      pppoesd.conf contains the following parameters:

      service           Specify the name of the service that the server can
                        offer to the client.  A value of any implies that
                        the server is ready to offer any service to the
                        client.

      acname            Specify the name of the access concentrator from
                        which you wish to make services available.

      host-unique       Specify a tag used by the client to uniquely
                        associate an access concentrator's response (PADO or
                        PADS) to a particular client request (PADI or PADR).

      retry-number      Specify the number of times pppoec tries to
                        retransmit either a PADI or PADR packet when an
                        access concentrator does not respond to the client's
                        request.

      timeout           Specify the timeout value in seconds.  pppoec waits
                        for this duration to receive either a PADO or PADS
                        packet before retransmitting a PADI/PADR packet.
                        The default value is 15 seconds.

      pppd-options      Specify the command-line options of pppd.  See
                        pppd(1M) for more information.
