4. Refer to the Connection Status
The Connection Status table lists the MAC address, SID, Service information, MTU and status of each route destination
peer. To provide this point-to-point connection, each PPPoE session learns the Ethernet address of a remote PPPoE client,
and establishes a session. PPPoE uses both a discover and session phase to identify a client and establish a point-to-point
connection. By using such a connection, a Wireless WAN failover is available to maintain seamless network access if the
access point's Wired WAN were to fail.
5. Select the Refresh
The access point uses the listed timeout so it does not sit idle waiting for input from the PPPoE
client and the server, that may never come.
If a keep alive is utilized, the point-to-point connect to the PPPoE client is continuously
maintained and not timed out.
Displays the PPPoE client maximum transmission unit (MTU) from 500 - 1,492. The MTU is the
largest physical packet size in bytes a network can transmit. Any messages larger than the
MTU are divided into smaller packets before being sent. A PPPoE client should be able to
maintain its point-to-point connection for this defined MTU size.
