/etc/ppp/pppoec.conf is the configuration file for the pppoec daemon. Upon startup, pppoec reads pppoec.conf to initialize itself. Also, it uses the parameters
specified in this file during the PPPoE session.
Table 3-3 “Client Parameters” lists the parameters
that the client configuration file supports.
Table 3-3 Client Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|
| service | Specifies the name of the service that the client
requires. A value of any means that the client is ready to accept any of the
available services. |
| acname | Specifies the name of the access concentrator
from which the client wishes to avail service. This name uniquely
identifies an access concentrator from its peers. |
| host-unique | Specifies a tag that the host uses to uniquely
associate an access concentrator response (PADO or PADS) to a particular host request (PADI or PADR).
To include the tag, set host-unique=1.
To exclude the tag, set host-unique=0. |
| retry-number | Specifies the number of times a PADI or PADR packet is transmitted when the access concentrator
does not respond to the client’s request. |
| timeout | Specifies the timeout value in seconds. pppoec waits for this duration to receive either a PADO or PADS packet before retransmitting a PADI or PADR packet. The default value is 15. |
| pppd-options | Specifies the command-line options of pppd. For more information, type man 1m pppd at the HP-UX prompt. |
Each entry in pppoec.conf is of the following format:
<parameter>=<value>
A blank line separates each entry in the configuration file.
The pppoec.conf file ignores lines that begin with a number sign
(#).
