When configuring a PPPoE dialer pool, which command is used to assign the pool?

1. dialer pool 1

2. assign dialer pool 1

3. set dialer pool 1

4. create dialer pool 1

The correct answer is: dialer pool 1

When configuring a PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) dialer pool, the command used to assign the pool is "dialer pool 1." This command effectively designates a specific dialer pool to be used for the PPPoE connection. In the context of router configuration, the "dialer pool" command is part of an interface configuration mode where you specify certain characteristics of the dialer interface, including which dialer pool to apply. By issuing this command, you are instructing the router to use the specified pool of virtual access lines that were pre-defined for PPPoE. Other options reflect commands that are not recognized or don't follow the standard syntax used in Cisco devices for configuring dialer pools. Using the correct command ensures that the router recognizes the intended settings and operates within the correct parameters for establishing a PPPoE session. This understanding is crucial for managing connections effectively in a network environment where PPPoE is utilized.
