Configuring PPPoE over Ethernet and IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
PPPoE over IEEE 802.1Q VLANs
The PPPoE over IEEE 802.1Q VLANs feature enables the Cisco 10000 series router to support PPPoE
over IEEE 802.1Q encapsulated VLAN interfaces. IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation is used to interconnect a
VLAN-capable router with another VLAN-capable networking device. The packets on the 802.1Q link
contain a standard Ethernet frame and the VLAN information associated with that frame.
Note
PPPoE is disabled by default on a VLAN.

Description
This feature was introduced on the Cisco 10000 series
router.
This feature was integrated into Cisco IOS Release
12.3(7)XI1.
This feature was integrated into Cisco IOS Release
12.2(28)SB.
The Cisco 10000 series router currently supports the PPPoE over IEEE 802.1Q VLANs feature on
Gigabit Ethernet line cards and Fast Ethernet 8-port half-height line cards. The Fast Ethernet port
of the performance routing engine (PRE) does not support this feature.
The Cisco 10000 series router supports this feature for PPPoE dialin only. PPPoE dialout (client) is
not supported.
