PPPoE
If you configure the interface to use PPPoE, the FortiWiFi unit automatically
broadcasts a PPPoE request. You can disable connect to server if you are configuring
the FortiWiFi unit offline and you do not want the FortiWiFi unit to send the PPPoE
request.
FortiWiFi units support many of the PPPoE RFC features (RFC 2516) including
unnumbered IPs, initial discovery timeout that times and PPPoE Active Discovery
Terminate (PADT).

User Name The PPPoE account user name.
Password The PPPoE account password.
Unnumbered IP Specify the IP address for the interface. If your ISP has assigned you a
block of IP addresses, use one of them. Otherwise, this IP address can be
the same as the IP address of another interface or can be any IP address.
Initial Disc Initial discovery timeout. The time to wait before retrying to start a PPPoE
discovery. Set Initial Disc to 0 to disable.
Timeout
Initial PADT Initial PPPoE Active Discovery Terminate (PADT) timeout in seconds. Use
this timeout to shut down the PPPoE session if it is idle for this number of
timeout
seconds. PADT must be supported by your ISP. Set initial PADT timeout to
0 to disable.
Distance Enter the administrative distance for the default gateway retrieved from the
PPPoE server. The administrative distance, an integer from 1-255,
specifies the relative priority of a route when there are multiple routes to the
same destination. A lower administrative distance indicates a more
preferred route. The default distance for the default gateway is 1.
Retrieve default Enable Retrieve default gateway from server to retrieve a default gateway
IP address from a PPPoE server. The default gateway is added to the static
gateway from
routing table.
