PPPoA Overview
When configured for PPP over ATM, the ATU-R acts as a router, and additionally provides
DHCP and NAT services to the LAN side. In the case of PPP routing, IP packets are
encapsulated into a PPP frame and then are segmented into ATM cells through AAL5. The PPP
sessions initiated by the subscriber are terminated at the service provider that authenticates
users, either using a local database on the router or through a RADIUS server. After the user is
authenticated, IPCP negotiation takes place, and then the IP address gets assigned to the CPE.
Figure 8-7 illustrates the PPPoA protocol stack.

Follow the next steps to configure PPPoA. (Note that local authentication is used here and that
the IP address for the CPE is assigned by the router. RADIUS can be used for these tasks.)
Step 1 Configure a username and password for local authentication:
