Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)
is a configuration option for Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) circuits.
You can configure PPPoE only on WAN ports and physical interfaces.
You cannot configure it on sub-interfaces or logical interfaces
such as bypass pairs or an interface with Layer 3 configuration,
such as DHCP or static IP addresses.
Upon completing PPPoE
authentication, the system establishes a connection with the DSL
provider. In the event of PPPoE connection failures or termination,
this PPPoE logical interface displays as down.
A logical PPPoE
interface acts as the underlay interface for all Prisma SD-WAN-related
features, statistics, counters, and configuration.
- Select , select the device you want to configure.Select the Interfaces tab.Select a port.For Admin Up, select Yes.(Optional) Enter a Description.For Interface Type, select Port.For PPPOE Attached?, select Yes and then Save Port.PPPoE is now attached to an interface. Proceed to configure PPPoE attributes.

For Use This Port For, select Internet or Private WAN from the given list.Select a Circuit Label.- To enable this port to forward direct traffic and establish secure fabric links as per the site network policy, select a Circuit Label from the provided list.
- If no label is selected, the port continues to be active and available for communication with the Prisma SD-WAN controller and for reporting statistics, but all network policy traffic ignores this interface.
For IPv4 Configuration, choose Negotiated or Static.- Negotiated indicates that the IP address is negotiated with the PPPoE server.
- Static indicates that the IP address is statically configured. If the IP address is static, the system ignores any PPPoE server-provided IP address and use the static IP address instead.
Select Enable IPv6 On This Interface to configure IPv6.For IPv6 Configuration, select AutoConf or Static.In both the cases, PPPoE server provides the linklocal address.Autoconf indicates the Global IP address is derived using stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC).Static indicates the IP address is statically configured. Additionally specify the IPv6 Address/Mask, Default Gateway (IPv6), and DNS server(s)(IPv6).(Optional) Enter Username and Password.Proceed to Advanced Options.
