Cisco ASA 5505 PPPOE configuration

Hi Experts
I was given a PPPOE was modem on which I had to configure the ASA 5505 , While following below steps .. I could not establish the PPOE connection ...

I followed the below link .. but I couldnt create  PPPOE connection .

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa80/configuration/guide/pppoe.html


it explains for below step which is meant to be created on eth port . but when I issue this command , it gives error to supply this command in Vlan interface ...

hostname(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/0
hostname(config-if)# ip address pppoe

Also below command is both can be issued on Global config mode and vlan interface mode

Step 1      Enable the PPPoE client by entering the following command from interface configuration mode:

hostname(config-if)# ip address pppoe [setroute]


any quick tip what can be missing in the config , I am not able to paste the config as i am not sitting with device ??

the only difference I am encountering is .. guide does not explain to define vlan configurations and setting interface as outside , and I am not able to config eth0/0 and only can work on vlan2 .

and also I assigned  vlan 2 to the eth 0/0  with switchport access valn 2 command ..

well , I did the same configuration ...

what I extra did is  ... to create eth 0/0 to under Vlan 2 . because I believed that if I am doing interface mode commands on vlan 2 , then I have to assign ethernet 0/0 to vlan 2 and for this i supplied below command on eth 0/0  

switchport mode acces vlan 2  

now I am not sure if I have to do this or not , but I just thought to associate logical interface to port because how vlan 2 wil map the config on eth 0/0 ??

and also I dont need to supply any commands on eth 0/0 ??

I am not clear whats the difference here in eth 0/0 and vlan2 and their relationship

thanks PL

above is useful , however  I believe the sequence of entering these commands is very essential
specially when you issue command ,

ip address setroute

that should be the last command on vlan2 interface , any chunk missing or adding after this command does not let you establish the PPPOE connection

but I thought may be that can be mixed by restarting the firewall , but I think I was wrong , it did not help me , untill i spent it doing again and again

but I have not configured the internet on this ... So in order to enable internet running

do I need below three commands only ?


object network obj_any
 subnet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
 nat (inside,outside) dynamic interface
