Who doesn’t need a little PPPoE love in their day
In the following blog I will be configuring PPPoE with the constraints in the drawing. Included are the initial requirements and a drawing. I have also done some packet captures utilizing wireshark in order to demonstrate some of the more significant packets such as PADI and PADO.
R1 Configuration
R1#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Verification
R2#show ip interface brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Ethernet0/0 unassigned YES NVRAM up up
***output omitted*****
Dialer5 10.1.1.10 YES IPCP up up
Virtual-Access1 unassigned YES unset up up
R2#ping 10.1.1.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 2/4/5 ms

SHOW PPPOE SESSION OUTPUTS
I also did a wireshark capture and you can see the process of PPPoE packets. I marked in Red the different message types. I used the Mac-Addresses of 0000.1111.1111 and 0000.2222.2222 in order to make it easy to see who the sender and receiver is. 1111 is the Server and 2222 is the Receiver.
Here is the PPPoE Request Packet. Notice it is under IP Control Protocol Portion
Which is followed by an ACK.
