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
Draft standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC)
interacts with a broadband modem (for example, xDSL, 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 it
correctly.
Select Nailed-Up Connection if you do not want the connection to time
out.
This value specifies the time in seconds that elapses before the router
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 Get automatically from ISP If your ISP did not assign you a
fixed IP address. This is the default selection.
Select Use fixed IP address 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 the route to this
remote node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private
and not included in RIP broadcast. If No, the route to this remote node
will be propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts.
