Thank you for the quick response... Ok I will have to check if the pppd is available in the remote (server )device, Now the current availabel options for remote device are Alctel-ISAM or Dslam-Dlink where my ATM path terminates. let me verify this... Again to clear the confusion.... yes with above remote devices I have tested for PPPoE on ATM can i call this test as PPPoEoA !!!!! -Arun On Wed, Jun 2, 2010 at 10:24 PM, James Chapman <jchapman@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > arun b wrote: >> Hi, >> Thanks for the info >> First of all let me try to clear your confusion .. >> 1) at the client side as i already told you its linux-box and i am >> running pppd (2.4) >> ie. pppd plugin pppoatm.so 9.45 user xxxxxx password xxxxxx >> >> now this box send LCP packets 10 times and the pppd terminates. as >> there is no responder.. >> 2) Now I need to setup responder (PPPoA-server i belive) my self >> similar to PPPoE-server in the case of pppoe test linuxPC. >> >> so if you know about server pls pass me the info > > At the server > > pppd plugin pppoatm.so 9.45 192.168.42.42:192.168.42.43 passive > > Run this on the server before starting the client.
