Does Cisco 1811 know about PPPoE?

[wizard1983]

Who knows, can I use Cisco 1811 (or 18xx series) to establish PPP connection over Ethernet(PPPoE)?

If not, what model should I use to do it (Cheaper model is prefered).

[jheckart · Accepted solution]

Yes, you can absolutely use an 1811 to do PPPoE. You can also use a lower comparable line such as the 871. Both have dual-ethernet with managed switches. The 800 series has less capacity, and fewer features.

Thanks! - )

I will kill our partners, who integrate Cisco for us!

What was recommended?

[wizard1983]

We've got aprove for Cisco 1811(for PPPoE). But after about month post-buy our Cisco integrator told that it's impossible to use such model because it's not able to make PPPoE.

But couple of days ago they told us new IOSs or insertions solved this problem and we can make PPPoE.

But now after your answer I have new question for integrator. Why not 800 series?
