config line for SBC DSL authentication

[encinitas]

hello-
is there a config line for authentication for SBC DSL line?
ie: username@sbcglobal.net and password

thanks in advance

oh- a quick google search brings up the fact the authentication (pppoe) is only needed if there's DHCP, but I have static IP's.
the SBC tech said the first address is used as authentication and is tied to the email account.
not exactly sure what that means...

Hello encinitas ,

A.F.A.I.K.
You would use this cfg solution foe pppoe

vpdn group pppoe_group request dialout pppoe
vpdn group pppoe_group localname username@sbcglobal.net
vpdn group pppoe_group ppp authentication pap
vpdn username username@sbcglobal.net password ********

If you have a static IP the the pix does not need to pass authentication info to your ISP, or it shouldn't have to. I do not think there is a config setting for passing authentication info using a static IP.
That being said, how a bout a little more info?
Is the PIX connected to the ISP's modem / router?
If yes then the ISP's device probably needs to have the authentication info config'd in it. Any additional info would be appreciated

Ok. So you need to configure static IP with PPPOE

ip address outside xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm pppoe

vpdn group groupname request dialout pppoe
vpdn group groupname ppp authentication {PAP|CHAP|MSCHAP}
vpdn group groupname localname USERNAME
vpdn username USERNAME password PASSWORD

update:
just talked to a sr. tech at SBC and he wondered why I was using their SpeedStream modem instead of their Netopia router, as the static IP's don't work well with the modem.
ok.
so I ordered a Netopia!

I assume the Netopia can pass the traffic/ports that I need so I don't have to use the PIX. is that true?

thanks.

SpeedStream modems do work with single fixed IP offered on DSL Service with PPPoE. My local ISP sends them to all of my clients that have single IP. I personally prefer the Cisco 800 Series ones but those are generaly for ADSL with multiple Fixed IPs without PPPoE.
