This article describes how to configure a point to point PPPoE connection between two Cisco routers.

This article is a part of my article collection: Cisco configuration snippets. The snippets show just and only just how to do a basic configuration on a specific topic.

Server side

!
username myuser password 0 cisco
!
!
bba-group pppoe global
 virtual-template 1
!
!
!
interface FastEthernet0/0
  no shutdown
  no ip address
  duplex full
 
!
!
interface Virtual-Template1
  mtu 1492 
  ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
  peer default ip address pool clientpool
  ppp authentication pap chap
!
!
ip local pool clientpool 10.0.0.10 10.0.0.200

The MTU is lowered to 1492 due to PPP header taking up 8 biytes

Client side

!
username ISP password 0 cisco
!
!
interface FastEthernet0/0
  no ip address
  duplex full
  pppoe enable group global
  pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1
