SYNOPSIS

       kpppoed [ arguments ]

DESCRIPTION

       kl2tpd for L2TP protocol support.

       kpppoed and is driven by a configuration file which describes the PPPoE service to offer.

       -config string
              specify configuration file path (default “/etc/kpppoed/kpppoed.toml”)

       -verbose
              toggle verbose log output

CONFIGURATION

       The kpppoed file, kpppoed.toml is written in the TOML markup language (https://toml.io/en/).

       It uses a small set of key:value pairs to configure the PPPoE server:

              # ac_name is the name that kpppoed will use in the PPPoE AC Name tag sent
              # in PADO packets.  If not specified it will default to "kpppoed".
              ac_name = "MyAccessConcentrator.2000"

              # interface_name is the name of the network interface that kpppoed will listen
              # on for PPPoE discovery packets.  It must be specified.
              interface_name = "eth0"

              # services is a list of service names that kpppoed will advertise in PADO packets
              # At least one service must be specified.
              services = [ "serviceA", "serviceB", "serviceC" ]

              # lns_ipaddr is the IP address and port of the L2TP server to tunnel
              # pppoe sessions to.  The LNS address must be specified.
              lns_ipaddr = "3.22.1.9:1701"
