+Ethernet Interfaces
+-------------------
+.. _interfaces-ethernet:
+
+Ethernet interfaces allow for the configuration of speed, duplex, and hw-id
+(MAC address). Below is an example configuration:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '192.168.0.1/24'
+ set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '2001:db8:1::ffff/64'
+ set interfaces ethernet eth1 description 'INSIDE'
+ set interfaces ethernet eth1 duplex 'auto'
+ set interfaces ethernet eth1 speed 'auto'
+
+Resulting in:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ ethernet eth1 {
+ address 192.168.0.1/24
+ address 2001:db8:1::ffff/64
+ description INSIDE
+ duplex auto
+ hw-id 00:0c:29:44:3b:19
+ smp_affinity auto
+ speed auto
+ }
+
+In addition, Ethernet interfaces provide the extended operational commands:
+
+* `show interfaces ethernet <name> physical`
+* `show interfaces ethernet <name> statistics`
+
+Statistics available are driver dependent.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces ethernet eth0 physical
+ Settings for eth0:
+ Supported ports: [ TP ]
+ Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
+ 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
+ 1000baseT/Full
+ Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
+ Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
+ 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
+ 1000baseT/Full
+ Advertised pause frame use: No
+ Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
+ Speed: 1000Mb/s
+ Duplex: Full
+ Port: Twisted Pair
+ PHYAD: 0
+ Transceiver: internal

+VLAN Sub-Interfaces (802.1Q)
+----------------------------
+.. _interfaces-vlan:
+
+802.1Q VLAN interfaces are represented as virtual sub-interfaces in VyOS. The
+term used for this is `vif`. Configuration of a tagged sub-interface is
+accomplished using the configuration command
+`set interfaces ethernet <name> vif <vlan-id>`.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 description 'VLAN 100'
+ set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 address '192.168.100.1/24'
+ set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 address '2001:db8:100::1/64'
+
+Resulting in:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ ethernet eth1 {
+ address 192.168.100.1/24
+ address 2001:db8:100::1/64
+ description INSIDE
+ duplex auto
+ hw-id 00:0c:29:44:3b:19
+ smp_affinity auto
+ speed auto
+ vif 100 {
+ address 192.168.100.1/24
+ description "VLAN 100"
+ }
+ }
+
+VLAN interfaces are shown as `<name>.<vlan-id>`, e.g. `eth1.100`:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces
+ Codes: S - State, L - Link, u - Up, D - Down, A - Admin Down
+ Interface IP Address S/L Description
+ --------- ---------- --- -----------
+ eth0 172.16.51.129/24 u/u OUTSIDE
+ eth1 192.168.0.1/24 u/u INSIDE
+ eth1.100 192.168.100.1/24 u/u VLAN 100
+ lo 127.0.0.1/8 u/u
+ ::1/128

+
+QinQ
+----
+
+QinQ (802.1ad_) — allows multiple VLAN tags to be inserted into a single frame.
+
+QinQ can be used to tunnel vlans in a vlan.
+
+**vif-s** and **vif-c** stand for the ethertype tags that get set:
+
+The inner tag is the tag which is closest to the payload portion of the frame; it is officially called C-TAG (Customer tag, with ethertype 0x8100).
+The outer tag is the one closer/closest to the Ethernet header; its name is S-TAG (Service tag, ethertype 0x88a8).
+
+Configuration commands:

+PPPoE
+=====
+
+There are two main ways to setup VyOS to connect over a PPPoE internet connection. This is due to most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) providing a DSL modem that is also a wireless router.
+
+**First Method:** (Common for Homes)
+
+In this method, the DSL Modem/Router connects to the ISP for you with your credentials preprogrammed into the device. This gives you an RFC1918_ address, such as 192.168.1.0/24 by default.
+
+For a simple home network using just the ISP's equipment, this is usually desirable. But if you want to run VyOS as your firewall and router, this will result in having a double NAT and firewall setup. This results in a few extra layers of complexity, particularly if you use some NAT or tunnel features.
+
+**Second Method:** (Common for Businesses)
+
+In order to have full control and make use of multiple static public IP addresses, your VyOS will have to initiate the PPPoE connection and control it.
+In order for this method to work, you will have to figure out how to make your DSL Modem/Router switch into a Bridged Mode so it only acts as a DSL Transceiver device to connect between the Ethernet link of your VyOS and the phone cable.
+Once your DSL Transceiver is in Bridge Mode, you should get no IP address from it.
+Please make sure you connect to the Ethernet Port 1 if your DSL Transeiver has a switch, as some of them only work this way.
+Once you have an Ethernet device connected, i.e. eth0, then you can configure it to open the PPPoE session for you and your DSL Transceiver (Modem/Router) just acts to translate your messages in a way that vDSL/aDSL understands.
+
+**Here is an example configuration:**
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ set interface ethernet eth0 description "DSL Modem"
+ set interface ethernet eth0 duplex auto
+ set interface ethernet eth0 smp_affinity auto
+ set interface ethernet eth0 speed auto
+ set interface ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 default-route auto
+ set interface ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 mtu 1492
+ set interface ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 name-server auto
+ set interface ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 user-id <PPPoE Username>
+ set interface ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 password <PPPoE Password>
+
+
+* You should add a firewall to your configuration above as well by assigning it to the pppoe0 itself as shown here:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ set interface ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 firewall in name NET-IN
+ set interface ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 firewall local name NET-LOCAL
+ set interface ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 firewall out name NET-OUT
+
+* You need your PPPoE credentials from your DSL ISP in order to configure this. The usual username is in the form of name@host.net but may vary depending on ISP.
+* The largest MTU size you can use with DSL is 1492 due to PPPoE overhead. If you are switching from a DHCP based ISP like cable then be aware that things like VPN links may need to have their MTU sizes adjusted to work within this limit.
+* With the ``default-route`` option set to ``auto``, VyOS will only add the Default Gateway you receive from your DSL ISP to the routing table if you have no other WAN connections. If you wish to use a Dual WAN connection, change the ``default-route`` option to ``force``.
+
+Handling and troubleshooting
+----------------------------
+
+You can test connecting and disconnecting with the below commands:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ disconnect interface 0
+ connect interface 0
+
+
+You can check the PPPoE connection logs with the following:
+
+This command shows the current statistics, status and some of the settings (i.e. MTU) for the current connection on pppoe0.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ show interfaces pppoe 0
+
+This command shows the entire log for the PPPoE connection starting with the oldest data. Scroll down with the <space> key to reach the end where the current data is.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ show interfaces pppoe 0 log
+
+
+This command shows the same log as without the 'tail' option but only starts with the last few lines and continues to show added lines until you exit with ``Ctrl + x``
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ show interfaces pppoe 0 log tail
