restrict bandwidth and packet size; and they can verify the gateway is available.
There are two main differences between PPPoE/PPTP interfaces and other
interfaces.
• You must set up an ISP account before you create a PPPoE/PPTP interface.
Each ISP account specifies the protocol (PPPoE or PPTP), as well as your ISP
account information. If you change ISPs later, you only have to create a new
ISP account, not a new PPPoE/PPTP interface. You should not have to change
any network policies.
• You do not set up the subnet mask or gateway.
PPPoE/PPTP interfaces are interfaces between the ZyWALL and only one
computer. Therefore, the subnet mask is always 255.255.255.255. In addition,
the ZyWALL always treats the ISP as a gateway.
At the time of writing, it is possible to set up the IP address of the gateway (ISP)
using CLI commands but not in the web configurator.
