pppoe connection

English Network/Internet

Hi
please Teach make a pppoe connection By command line in OpenSuse 12.3.

Bear in mind, most of us have a router used to handle connectivity, so this type of connectivity is not so familiar (to me at least).

For openSUSE, I think you are better to use the graphical YaST tools. For KDE, there is a dialler called ‘qinternet’ that can be installed, and will call up YaST automatically to configure modems and DSL connections.

If you’re still determined to do this via CLI, then I think the easiest way is to install ‘rp-pppoe’ RPM package first. It can help with configuring and starting the DSL connection.

# pppoe-setup

then

# pppoe-start

If you really want to do this by hand, then this ArchWiki page may be enough to get you going

YaST is available in the ncurses form from the CLI. Anything you can do in the graphical mode(GUI) can be done in the
CLI. From the command line just enter:


yast
or
YaST

Navigate with <tab> keys, <arrow> keys and <enter>.

I don’t think the OP wants to use YaST, but rather configure by hand. (I believe Debian/Ubuntu users can use CLI tools such as pppoeconf which helps with the necessary edits to edits /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/peers/provider, but rp-pppoe can be used in much the same way, which is why I suggested it.)
