[c-nsp] 12.40(20T), pppoe woes

[David Freedman]

Have just moved to testing 12.4(20)T for the HQF functionality, have now hit another stumbling point.

Was previously doing multiple pppoe sessions (multiple pppoe client feature) using the HWIC-4ESW
which mandates that the pppoe-client functionality *must* come from SVI,
in 12.4(20)T this no longer works:

router(config)# interface Vlan2
router(config-if)# pppoe-client dial-pool-number 2
%PPPoE-Client not supported on vlan interfaces

Placing the client on the actual interface does not work (either PADI does not get transmitted
or PADO is not interpreted correctly , either way, timeout occurs)

Has this feature been removed? can't find any reference in 12.4T release notes against feature documentation
or caveats nor does bugtool come back with anything useful.

Many thanks,

Dave.
