Hello All does somebody know an option for pppd to specify the access concentrator I didn't findone
Eric -- I don't have the answer, but I think you want to ask a different question. If I follow the discussion here --
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/slides/pppoe-slides.pdf
-- correctly, the Access Concentrator gets identified by the pppoe "wrapper" to pppd via a device-discovery step (that looks analogous to dpclient asking "are there any DHCP servers out there who can give me an address?"), not by pppd itself.
Or maybe I do have at least a candidate answer at that. The man page for pppoe (on Debian-Sid) lists the following options:
-S service_name
Specifies the desired service name. pppoe will only initiate
sessions with access concentrators which can provide the speci-
fied service. In most cases, you should not specify this
option. Use it only if you know that there are multiple access
concentrators or know that you need a specific service name. -C ac_name
Specifies the desired access concentrator name. pppoe will only
initiate sessions with the specified access concentrator. In
most cases, you should not specify this option. Use it only if
you know that there are multiple access concentrators. If both
the -S and -C options are specified, they must both match for
pppoe to initiate a session.The pppoe discussed here is probably the RP package, but the docs are not completely clear on that part.
Hope this is what you need. Good luck.
