You can use PPPoE for your uplink connectivity in both OAW-IAP and IAP-VPN deployments. PPPoE is supported
only in a single AP deployment.
Uplink redundancy with the PPPoE link is not supported.
When the Ethernet link is up, it is used as a PPPoE or DHCP uplink. After the PPPoE settings are configured,
PPPoE has the highest priority for the uplink connections. The OAW-IAP can establish a PPPoE session with a
PPPoE server at the ISP and get authenticated using Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) or the Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). Depending upon the request from the PPPoE server, either the PAP or
the CHAP credentials are used for authentication. After configuring PPPoE, reboot the OAW-IAP for the
configuration to affect. The PPPoE connection is dialed after the AP comes up. The PPPoE configuration is checked
during OAW-IAP boot and if the configuration is correct, Ethernet is used for the uplink connection.
When PPPoE is used, do not configure Dynamic RADIUS Proxy and IP address of the Virtual Controller. An SSID
created with default VLAN is not supported with PPPoE uplink.
You can also configure an alternate Ethernet uplink to enable uplink failover when an Ethernet port fails.
Configuring PPPoE Uplink Profile
You can configure PPPOE settings from the AOS-W Instant UI or CLI.
In the AOS-W Instant UI
1. Click the System link at the top right corner of the AOS-W Instant main window. The System window is
displayed.
2. Click the Show advanced options link. The advanced options are displayed.
3. In the Uplink tab, perform the following steps in the PPPoE section:
a. Enter the PPPoE service name provided by your service provider in the Service name field.
b. In the CHAP secret and Retype fields, enter the secret key used for Challenge Handshake Authentication
Protocol (CHAP) authentication. You can use a maximum of 34 characters for the CHAP secret key.
c. Enter the user name for the PPPoE connection in the User field.
d. In the Password and Retype fields, enter a password for the PPPoE connection and confirm it.
4. To set a local interface for the PPPoE uplink connections, select a value from the Local Configuration drop-
down. The selected DHCP scope will be used as a local interface on the PPPoE interface and the Local,L3
DHCP gateway IP address as its local IP address. When configured, the local interface acts as an unnumbered
PPPoE interface and allows the entire Local,L3 DHCP subnet to be allocated to clients.
The options in the Local Configuration drop-down are displayed only if a Local,L3 DHCP scope is configured on
the OAW-IAP.
5. Click OK.
6. Reboot the OAW-IAP for the configuration to affect.
In the CLI
To configure a PPPoE uplink connection:
(Instant Access Point)(config) # pppoe-uplink-profile
(Instant Access Point)(pppoe-uplink-profile)# pppoe-svcname <service-name>
(Instant Access Point)(pppoe-uplink-profile)# pppoe-username <username>
(Instant Access Point)(pppoe-uplink-profile)# pppoe-passwd <password>
(Instant Access Point)(pppoe-uplink-profile)# pppoe-chapsecret <password>
