[cisco-bba] How can Cisco CPE PPPoE MTU size adapt to MRU of LNS?

[Frank Bulk - iNAME]

Unless you manage all the CPE, too, I think configuring your LNs using "ip
mss adjust" is the safest way to accomplish wide-spread functionality.
Providing working PPP services generally results a lowest-common-denominator
configuration.

Hello Christopher

 

I was looking for a way that takes care of all types of traffic. I have seen
in previous IOS versions that

the pppoe-client requires the definition of a vpdn-group.

 

In the vpdn-group definition there is a command "ip mtu adjust"

 

vpdn-group PPPoE

 request-dialin

  protocol pppoe

 ip mtu adjust 

 

I was hoping this to provide a solution but I was not able to test it
though.

 

I am not sure how other CPEs (apart from Cisco) behave. At least when the

PPPoE session is initiated from my windows PC it does not take into account

the MRU of the LNS

 

Thnx

I use the ip mss adjust command on the LNS to resolve MTU problems from my
CPEs, not exactly sure if this would help you or not but this seems pretty
flexible.

Hello 

 

I have a question regarding the ability to adapt the MTU for a PPPoE
session.

 

>From the LNS side using the commands:

 

Virtual-template X

  ppp mtu adaptive

 

The LNS can apapt the length of the its MTU, according to the value set by
the CPE.

 

The question is how a cisco CPE (using IOS >= 12.4) can do the same, adapt

its MTU to the MRU value advertised by the LNS?

 

I am using cisco 1700 for CPE with IOS 12.4.  I could not find a command
similar

to the "ppp mtu adaptive" that could be used inside the Dialer interface of
the PPPoE client.

 

Does anyone knows how can a CISCO CPE adapt its MTU to the MRU value
advertised

by the LNS?

 

Kind Regards
