       interface-name

       interface-name config-file] debug-level] log-file] retry-number]

DESCRIPTION
       discovers  an  access concentrator that is willing to offer services to
       the client.  It obtains a unique session-id from	 the  selected	access
       concentrator.   then  forks  a  daemon which performs the session phase
       functionalities of PPPoE as mentioned in RFC 2516.

   Options
       supports the following options:

	      Specify the configuration file with absolute path
				to be used by The default  configuration  file
				is

	      Specify the debug level at which logging has to be
				enabled.  The three debug levels are:

				Logs all error messages.
					      To  log  these messages, type on

	      Specify the log file with absolute path, to which pppoec must
				log all messages.  The default log file is

	      Specify the frequency of PADI (PPPoE Active
				Discovery Initiation) or  PADR	(PPPoE	Active
				Discovery  Request) packet retransmission when
				an access concentrator does not respond to the
				client's request.  The default value is 3.

EXAMPLES
       An example usage of the command is as follows:
