ISP Parameters for Internet Access

Encapsulation

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 (i.e.

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.

Service Name

Type the PPPoE service name provided to you. PPPoE uses a service name to identify

and reach the PPPoE server.
