F.4 PPPoE Log (for PPP over Ethernet)
PPPoE is a protocol for connecting hosts on an Ethernet to the Internet through
a common broadband medium, such as a single DSL line, wireless device or
cable modem. It is defined in RFC 2516.
1.
“PPPoE start to dial-up”.
PPPoE task of the router starts to dial-up.
2.
“PADI sent SERVICE_NAME”.
The router broadcast a PADI packet with a Service-Name tag to seek Access
Concentrator. The SERVICE_NAME was configured at the Primary Setup page.
In most case, the Service Name is not necessary and has to be configured as
null string.
“PADI:3com sent” means the router tries to talk to DSL modem in 3COM’s
PPPoE dialect. (R1.91i)
3.
“PADO recv 0006 AC-NAME”.
The Access Concentrator AC-NAME sent PADO packet to acknowledge the pre-
vious PADI packet. If the router did not receive PADO packet, it means that
there is something wrong with the WAN connection. For example:
1. The connection between the router and DSL/Cable mode is not correct.
Action: check the LINK status both on the modem and the router.
2. The configured Service Name is not correct. Action: check whether
your ISP requires you to configure the Service Name.
3. The Access Concentrator was shut down. Action: try again later.
4. The WAN port of the router is damaged.
4.
“PADO error201: ERROR_MESSAGE”.
The Access Concentrator cannot offer the service. The error number and error
message is from the Access Concentrator. In most case, ERROR_MESSAGE
describes the detailed reason. The following errors are defined in RFC2516:
•
0x0201 Service-Name-Error
•
0x0202 AC-System-Error
•
0x0203 Generic-Error
5.
“PADR sent”.
The router sent PADR packet to Access Concentrator to request a PPPoE ses-
sion.
