Which command would you run to display the PPPoE session details?

  1. show pppoe details

  2. show pppoe session

  3. display pppoe sessions

  4. list pppoe session

The correct answer is: show pppoe session

The command to display PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) session details is designed to provide specific information about the current PPPoE connections on a router. Using "show pppoe session" retrieves a comprehensive overview of the active PPPoE sessions, including details such as the status, the number of sessions, and any related interface information. This command is particularly useful for network administrators to troubleshoot connectivity issues or to verify that sessions are established correctly. Each command option presents a variation, but only "show pppoe session" adheres to the syntax and conventions of Cisco IOS commands, ensuring that it can be executed successfully in the command line interface of a Cisco device. The other options, while they sound plausible, do not conform to recognized command syntax in Cisco IOS, which leads to them being invalid and therefore unexecuted. Hence, "show pppoe session" stands out as the accurate command to obtain the desired details regarding PPPoE sessions.
