DESCRIPTION
The PPPoE choice is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE. The router supports
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF standard (RFC
2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem
(for example, DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. Operationally, PPPoE saves
significant effort for both the end user and ISP/carrier, as it requires no specific
configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site. By implementing
PPPoE directly on the router rather than individual computers, the computers on
the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the router does that part of
the task. Further, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have access.
Type the PPPoE service name provided to you. PPPoE uses a service name to
identify and reach the PPPoE server.
Type the user name given to you by your ISP.
Type the password associated with the user name above.
Type your password again to make sure that you have entered is correctly.
Select this if you do not want the connection to time out.
This value specifies the time in seconds that elapses before the device
automatically disconnects from the PPPoE server.
Use the drop-down list box to select an authentication protocol for outgoing calls.
Options are:
CHAP/PAP - Your Vantage CNM accepts either CHAP or PAP when requested by
this remote node.
CHAP - Your Vantage CNM accepts CHAP only.
PAP - Your Vantage CNM accepts PAP only.
Select this option If your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address. This is the
default selection.
Select this option If the ISP assigned a fixed IP address.
Enter your WAN IP address in this field if you selected Use Fixed IP Address.
This parameter determines if the device will include this route to a remote node in
its RIP broadcasts.
Select this check box to keep this route private and not included in RIP broadcasts.
Clear this check box to propagate this route to other hosts through RIP broadcasts.
