Configuring an IPv6 PPPoE Client

This section describes how to configure an IPv6 PPPoE client.

Context

Before establishing a PPPoE session, configure a dialer interface and its dialer bundle.

Each PPPoE session maps to a single dialer bundle, and each dialer bundle maps to a single dialer interface. A PPPoE session can be created using a dialer interface.

Procedure

Access the system view.
```
system-view
```

Configure a dialer ACL for the dialer access group.

dialer-rule rule-number { ipv6 { deny | permit } | acl6 acl6-number }

Create a dialer interface and display the dialer interface view.
```
interface dialer number
```
Configure an authentication mode. The server may use PAP or CHAP authentication. Configuring both PAP and CHAP user names and passwords is recommended.
- Configure PAP authentication.
  
  Specify a PAP user name and a password.
```
ppp pap local-user user-name password cipher password
```
- Configure CHAP authentication.
  - Specify a CHAP user name.
```
ppp chap user user-name
```
  - Set a CHAP password.
```
ppp chap password cipher password
```
Specify a dial-up user name.
```
dialer user username
```
You can set username to any value within the range.
Configure the device to automatically obtain an IPv6 address as follows:
Configures an interface to automatically generate a link-local address.
```
ipv6 address auto link-local
```
Set an automatically generated IPv6 global address for the interface.
```
ipv6 address auto global
```
Configure the dialer bundle.
```
dialer bundle bundle-number
```
Return to the system view.
```
quit
```

Display the Ethernet interface view.
