Does the F5 Edge Client Support PPPoE?

Can anyone tell me if the F5 Edge Client supports PPPoE? Documentation states F5 BIG-IP supports PPPoE though I was not sure if this is specific to network tunnels or also includes client VPN.

  • The Edge Client has very little configuration, so the question is more if the APM supports VPNs with PPPoE.

     

    This is first time a see a question about PPPoE and APM. As far as I know, the only protocol that is used for the VPN is SSL.

     

    However, based on this ID:

     

    https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/releasenotes/product/relnote-apm-11-6-0.html

     

    "445399Support was added for Network Access over PPPoE."

     

    We can conclude that there was a limitation when using the SSL VPN on top of a PPPoE connection. Like if you have a ADSL modem, and connect to the Internet from your PC using PPPoE connection, and do the APM SSL VPN after.
