7.3.2 PPPoE Encapsulation
The NBG-418N v2 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
(DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. The PPP over Ethernet option is for a dial-up connection
using PPPoE.

DESCRIPTION
Enter the first and second DNS server's IP address in the fields.
The MAC address section allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by either
using the NBG-418N v2's MAC address, copying the MAC address from a computer on
your LAN or manually entering a MAC address.
Select Factory default to use the factory assigned default MAC Address.
Select this option to clone the MAC address of the computer (displaying in the screen)
from which you are configuring the NBG-418N v2. Once it is successfully configured, the
address will be copied to the rom file. It will not change unless you change the setting or
upload a different ROM file.
Select this option and enter the MAC address you want to use.
Choose the Ethernet (Dynamic) option when the WAN port is used as a regular
Ethernet.
Type the host name or domain name that is associated with this Ethernet connection.
Type the MTU or maximum size of each data packet, in bytes, that can move through this
interface. If a larger packet arrives, the NBG-418N v2 divides it into smaller fragments.
Allowed values are 576 to 1500. By default this value is 1500
Click the Attain DNS Automatically button if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server
information (and the NBG-418N v2's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the
(read-only) DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select Set DNS Manually if you have the IP address of a DNS server. You will need to
enter the first and secondary DNS server's IP address in the fields to the bottom.
Enter the first and second DNS server's IP address in the box fields.
The MAC address section allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by either
using the NBG-418N v2's MAC address, copying the MAC address from a computer on
your LAN or manually entering a MAC address.
Select Factory default to use the factory assigned default MAC Address.
Select this option to clone the MAC address of the computer (displaying in the screen)
from which you are configuring the NBG-418N v2. Once it is successfully configured, the
address will be copied to the rom file. It will not change unless you change the setting or
upload a different ROM file.
Select this option and enter the MAC address you want to use.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG-418N v2.
Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
