  • 1.  Configure PPPoE Intermedia Agent (IA) on Switch ?

    Posted 05-21-2014 04:17

    Dear all !

     

    I'm looking for a way to add attribute agent-circuit-id/remote-circuit-id to PPPoE packet on EX switch like PPPoE intermedia agent on Cisco switch but cannot.

     

    Please help me

    Very likely this is not supported on EX platform. Or at least not configuring it directly on the switch.

     

    Others can comment on this if they've used any workaround.

    PPPOE is not supported on EX platforms.  The best place to confirm feature availabiltiy is to use Feature Explorer on the documentation site.

     

    a quick search for PPPOE yeilds this matrix.

    Thank you for your replies. 

     

    I know some cheap switch support this feature so why Juniper doesn't support it 🙂

    I'm not sure if adding PPPOE will be on the EX roadmap or not.  You can check with your sales engineer or partner.

     

    I would guess that Juniper sees this feature as one that needs to have the security package features on the device to use.  Since you would generally be connecting to the internet with such a protocol they would expect it would be terminated on a device with security policy enabled.  Hence the SRX, J series and ScreenOS implementations.
