Implementing Cisco IP Routing (CCNP ROUTE, legacy) — Question 137

What is the purpose of configuring the router as a PPPoE client?

Answer options

• A. to provide VPN access over L2TP
• B. to enable PPP session from the router to the termination device at the headend for metro Ethernet connectivity
• C. for DSL connectivity and removing the need for the end-user PC to run the PPPoE client software

Correct answer:

Explanation

Configuring the router as a PPPoE client allows for DSL connectivity, which eliminates the need for the end-user PC to handle PPPoE client software. Option A is incorrect because it refers to VPN access, which is unrelated to the PPPoE client function. Option B, while mentioning a PPP session, is focused on metro Ethernet connectivity, which does not directly address the purpose of PPPoE in this context.
