Configuring your Allied Telesis Device
Before starting, ensure that your PC has a version of rp-pppoe.
If rp-pppoe isn’t on your PC, do one of the following;
•Download it from http://www.roaringpenguin.com/penguin/open_source_rp-pppoe.php , then
compile and install it.
•Use the prepackaged installer, for example RPM or deb.

Configuring Your Linux Device
1. Set a host name. The host name must be a user on the Allied Telesis device. To set a default
hostname on your linux device, use “hostname <newname>”:
2. Check the ppp options file. The options file is not used when this particular pppd link is started.
However, if it is used, it should look like this:
3. Check the CHAP secrets file. In this configuration there are a number of lines that are
commented out but only the last line is used. The last line of your CHAP secrets file should look
like this (as underlined in output below):
!Configure your Linux device as follows:
[root@linux_client michael]# hostname
linux_client
[root@linux_client michael]# cat /etc/ppp/options
lock
#debug
#novj
#require-pap
[root@linux_client michael]# cat /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client server secret IP addresses
#
#* test password *
#tester * 12345678 1.1.1.1
#* * eightbit *
#eightbit * eightbit 1.1.1.2
#manager pptpd friend *
linux_client * password *

Starting the Link
pppoe is actually another PPP daemon and we tell it to start pppoe discovery out eth1. The “pty”
part makes pppd converse via a pseudo terminal, otherwise all the PPP output goes to the screen
and hence the link will not come up.
!To configure your linux device, start the pppd (PPP daemon) process and tell it to start
pppoe:
[root@linux_client michael]# pppd pty 'pppoe -I eth1'
Loading PPP modules for linux kernel 2.4: [ OK ]
[root@linux_client michael]# ping 192.168.0.254

Debugging and Verifying
Apart from PING, you can also check the following on your linux PC:
On your Allied Telesis device, you can check the following:
[root@linux_client michael]# ifconfig
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:192.168.0.1 P-t-P:192.168.0.254 Mask:255.255.255.255

Other Hints
Here are some extra bits and pieces worthy of note.
The linux PPPoE Daemon
You can get PPPoE to display all the Access Concentrators who answer the PPPoE Active Discovery
Initiation:
If you get more than one PPPoE Active Discovery Offer, you can take that information and manually
select which Access Concentrator you want to respond to. For example:
You can always see other PPPoE options by consulting the manual:
[root@linux_client michael]# pppoe -I eth1 -A
--------------------------------------------------
Service-Name: test
Got a cookie: 00 00 33 2f
Access-Concentrator: -58245394
AC-Ethernet-Address: 00:00:cd:05:01:ff
--------------------------------------------------
[root@linux_client michael]# pppd pty 'pppoe -I eth1 -C -58245394'
[root@linux_client michael]# man pppoe

Multiple calls
1. Alter the configuration of the Allied Telesis device:
2. Configure the linux device:
The “idle 30” means that after 30 seconds, if no traffic goes over a ppp interface, that interface
is brought down.
3. Initiate the connection:
If you want to initiate more than one connection, simply repeat the above command, but
change the call name (as underlined).
!To make multiple calls to the Access Concentrator:
add user=tester1 password=password
set user=tester1 ipaddress=192.168.0.2 netmask=255.255.255.255
add user=tester2 password=password
set user=tester2 ipaddress=192.168.0.3 netmask=255.255.255.255
add user=tester3 password=password
set user=tester3 ipaddress=192.168.0.4 netmask=255.255.255.255
set ppp acservice=test maxsessions=3

More about idle times
In the previous section we set an idle timeout on PPP, on the Linux device This means that after
30 seconds of idle time PPP will send a Link Control Protocol (LCP) message with a Termination
Request. The Allied Telesis device responds with a Termination Ack. PPPoE then takes over and
both devices finish the connection with a PADT frame.
In Linux, you can set a PPPoE idle timeout. This means that PPPoE will go straight to sending a
PADT and PPP itself will not get the opportunity to send an LCP Termination Request. Allied
Telesis devices will ignore a PADT frame if it is not preempted by an LCP Termination Request,
so nothing will happen on the Allied Telesis device when pppoe takes down the connection on
the Linux device.
To set a PPPoE idle timeout (30 seconds in this example):
Compression
The Van Jacobson style TCP/IP header (VJ) compression is now standard on PPP links . It is
supported in both Allied Telesis and Linux PPP.
To turn on VJ compression on the Allied Telesis device:
VJ compression should be on your linux device by default. However, check the PPP options file
to ensure that the VJ compression has not been disabled.
[root@linux_client michael]# pppd pty 'pppoe -I eth1 –U –T 30'
