Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 10.1.

Support for the [edit ... family pppoe] hierarchies introduced in Junos OS Release 11.2.

Support at the [edit dynamic-profiles ... interfaces interface-set ... pppoe-underlying-options] hierarchy level introduced in Junos OS Release 12.2.

Description

Configure the maximum number of dynamic PPPoE logical interfaces that the router can activate on the underlying interface. The max-sessions value does not affect the maximum number of static PPPoE logical interfaces that can be configured on the underlying interface.

Note: The [edit ... family pppoe] hierarchies and the [edit dynamic-profiles ... interfaces interface-set ... pppoe-underlying-options] hierarchy level are supported only on MX Series routers with MPCs/MICs.

Options

number—Maximum number of dynamic PPPoE logical interfaces (sessions) that the router can activate on the underlying interface. The default value is equal to the maximum number of PPPoE sessions supported on your routing platform. You can configure from 1 to the platform-specific default for your routing platform. Changing the max-sessions value has no effect on dynamic PPPoE logical interfaces that are already active.

For information about scaling values for PPPoE interfaces, access the Subscriber Management Scaling Values (XLS) spreadsheet from the Downloads box on the Junos OS Subscriber Management pathway page for the current release.

Required Privilege Level
