I was about to refer you to the PA-4.1_Administrators_Guide.pdf but then I found the following documentation loop :smileygrin:

At page 87:

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet Support
You can configure the firewall to be a Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) termination point
to support connectivity in a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) environment where there is a DSL modem
but no other PPPoE device to terminate the connection.
You can choose the PPPoE option and configure the associated settings when an interface is defined as
a Layer 3 interface. For instructions, refer to “Configuring Layer 3 Interfaces” on page 91.

At page 91:

Configuring Layer 3 Interfaces
->Network > Interfaces > Ethernet
You can configure one or more Ethernet ports as Layer 3 interfaces for untagged routed traffic. You can
then define Layer 3 subinterfaces for traffic with specific VLAN tags (refer to “Configuring Layer 3
Subinterfaces” on page 94). For information on configuring Layer 3 interfaces for PPPoE, refer to
“Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet Support” on page 87.

C'mon, seriously PaloAlto? 😃

Page 92 have a better description:

IPv4 Tab

PPPoE
Choose PPPoE if the interface will be used for PPPoE and configure the
following settings:
General subtab:
• Enable—Select the check box to activate the interface for PPPoE termination.
• Username—Enter the user name for the point-to-point connection.
• Password/Confirm Password—Enter and then confirm the password for the
user name.
Advanced subtab:
• Authentication—Choose CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Pro-
tocol), PAP (Password Authentication Protocol), or the default Auto (to have
the firewall determine the authentication protocol for PPPoE communications).
• Static Address—Specify the static IP address that was assigned by the service
provider (optional, no default).
• Automatically create default route pointing to peer—Select the check box
to automatically create a default route that points to the PPPoE peer when con-
nected.
• Default Route Metric—Specify the route metric to be associated with the
default route and used for path selection (optional, range 1-65535).
• Access Concentrator—Specify the name of the access concentrator to which
the connection is made (optional, no default).
• Service—Specify the service string (optional, no default).
• Passive—Select the check box to use passive mode. In passive mode, a PPPoE
end point waits for the access concentrator to send the first frame.
