Best Practice: Configuring Authentication for DHCP Subscribers on a PPPoE Access Network

In most cases PPPoE is used to authenticate subscribers in a PPPoE access network. However, if you wish to use DHCP to perform the authentication, do not configure subscriber authentication at the [edit system services dhcp-local-server] or the [edit system services dhcp-local-server dhcpv6] hierarchy levels. Instead configure subscriber authentication at the [edit system services dhcp-local-server dhcpv6 group] hierarchy level. For example:

[edit system services dhcp-local-server dhcpv6]
group v6-dhcp-client {authentication {password joshua;username-include {user-prefix StaticUser;}}}
