Well my ultimate aim is to test my client (linux-box ) i need responder i don't care what it is as long as it responds ... NOw just thought came to me that, what if i use 2 of linux-box one as server and other as client ... i don't know how to configure VCI/VPI on my server .. thses values where 9.45 as this are confiugred in our by the admin DSLAM/ ISAM. pls know me if it can be configured. -Arun On Wed, Jun 2, 2010 at 11:11 PM, James Chapman <jchapman@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > arun b wrote: >> 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... > > Oh, I assumed your server was a Linux box with pppd etc. If not, we > won't be able to help you with server config here. > >> Again to clear the confusion.... >> yes with above remote devices I have tested for PPPoE on ATM >> can i call this test as PPPoEoA !!!!! > > Perhaps you mean PPPoE over an RFC1483 bridged encap ATM link?
