Can Cisco Router support multiple PPPoE connection?

Dear all,

If yes, can it also support load-sharing for outgoing support to different PPPoE connection?

Thanks,

Eric

I think you can , but i didn't use it

You can try from SDM create another Dialer and try binding to one other physical interface .

For load balancing you can refer the below doc.

Hello Eric,

in 12.4T support for multiple PPPoE clients over the same ATM/ADSL interface has been introduced

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_4t/12_4t15/mpppoec.html

if instead you want to use multiple DSL lines you can follow the suggestions of the previous post: you define a dialer interface for each DSL interface.

The more difficult part can be NAT configuration.

Routing redundancy is as simple as adding a second defaul static route

Hope to help

Thanks for your prompt reply. It is very helpful.

Besides, do you know if Cisco ASA also have such features?

Thanks,

Eric

Hello Eric,

I don't think ASA supports the PPPoE client feature, it can support multiple default routes out the same interface

see
