This manual describes how to install and configure the Point-to-Point Protocol
over Ethernet (PPPoE/v6) software on your HP-UX 11i operating system.
This manual assumes that the HP-UX 11i operating system software and
the appropriate files, scripts, and subsets are installed.
Audience
This manual is intended for system and network administrators responsible
for installing, configuring, and managing the Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPPoE/v6) software. Administrators are expected to have knowledge
of operating system concepts, commands, and Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP) configuration. It is also helpful to have knowledge of Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) networking concepts
and network configuration; this manual is not a TCP/IP or PPPoE
tutorial.
Organization
PPPoE/v6 Administrator’s Guide is
divided into several chapters, each of which contains information
about installing or configuring PPPoE and using the existing PPP
with IPv6 support.
The following list describes the content in more detail.
