PPPoE Connection

Point-to-Point Protocol [=PPP] is a method of establishing a network connection between network

hosts. PPPoE, also known as RFC 2516, adapts PPP to work over Ethernet for ADSL connections.

Among other things, PPPoE provides a mechanism for authenticating users by providing User Name

and Password fields and is a connection type provided by many ISPs.

To setup PPPoE, select WAN Setup >New Connection. From Type: select PPPoE [already selected

by default]

Enter the PPPoE connection name: the name must be unique, must not contain spaces and must not

begin with a number [e.g. PPPoE_1].

NAT Option: Network Address Translation is on by default [recommended].

Firewall [SPI]: Firewall is on by default [recommended].

Allow Incoming Ping: Unchecked by default [recommended]. Check only if this function is required

for testing purposes.

Select the Quality of Service [QoS] type; if in doubt leave as default
