layer-2-only

This command allows the device's underlying interfaces (e.g., Gigabit Ethernet) using PPPoE to start the establishment of the PPPoE connection after Layer 2 of the underlying interface (e.g., when the cable is connected). This is instead of waiting for the PPPoE process to start after Layer 3 of the underlying interface has established.

Example

This example enables this feature on the Gigabit Ethernet interface 0/0 using PPPoE:

(conf-pppoe-0)# underlying gigabitethernet 0/0
((conf-pppoe-0)# layer-2-only
