I had 1 hour and 20 minutes wasted trying to figure out the problem with my configuration and it turned out to be that for DHCP request to work the ip address must be on the virtual-template else how would the router know which DHCP pool it'd assign to the client.


Server config



interface Virtual-Template1
 ip address 155.1.35.1 255.255.255.0
 no peer default ip address
 ppp authentication chap


bba-group pppoe 1
 virtual-template 1


interface FastEthernet0/1.54
 encapsulation dot1Q 54
 pppoe enable group 1


ip dhcp pool 1
   network 155.1.35.0 255.255.255.0


username R3 password 0 CISCO


Client Config


interface Dialer1
 ip address dhcp
 encapsulation ppp
 dialer pool 1
 ppp chap hostname R3
 ppp chap password 0 CISCO
!


interface FastEthernet0/1
 no ip address
 duplex auto
 speed auto
 pppoe enable group global
 pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1
