I can't believe I didn't find that selector in all my surfing around. ::rolleyes:: &nbsp;Thanks.<br />
<br />
I am confused about why these features appear and disappear seemingly at random. &nbsp;What are the chances that the 6 or so IOS versions I tried would just happen to be the versions that don't support the features I need?<br />
<br />
Sounds like another case of Cisco doing whatever they want because they are the HNIC. &nbsp;Bah.

I am trying to connect to my new ISP using a Cisco 2600 series router and PPPoE. &nbsp;I am following these instructions: <br />

<a href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk175/tk15/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080126dc0.shtml" rel="ugc">http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk175/tk15/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080126dc0.shtml</a><br />
<br />
The tutorial begins:<br />
<br />
vpdn enable <br />
no vpdn logging <br />
! <br />
vpdn-group 1 <br />
request-dialin <br />
protocol pppoe <br />
<br />
I have tried several IOS versions and none of them will let me use the commands &quot;vpdn enable&quot; AND &quot;protocol PPPoE&quot;. &nbsp;To be honest, I don't know if I am doing something wrong or if I need a different IOS. &nbsp;Only one of the IOS versions I have tried allowed &quot;vpdn enable&quot; command.<br />
<br />
The router is currently configured to route from my main work network (outside) to a test network (inside) and it works just fine.

Cisco 2600 - What IOS for VPDN and PPPoE?

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
