Configuring The Trusted Network - Watchguard Firebox X15 User Manual

Changing Your Network Settings
Edge must get a PPPoE or PPP session termination request from
the ISP to identify a broken connection.
LCP echo interval
When you enable LCP echoes, this value sets the interval
between LCP echo requests sent by the Edge to the ISP. The
more frequently the LCP echo requests are sent, the faster the
Edge can identify a broken link. A shorter interval uses more
bandwidth on the external interface, but even the shortest
interval does not significantly decrease performance.
LCP echo retries
When you enable LCP echoes, this value sets the number of
times the Edge tries to get a response to an LCP echo request
before the PPPoE connection is considered inactive. If an ISP
does not send a reply to three LCP requests, there is a low
probability that it will reply to subsequent LCP echo requests. In
most cases, the default setting of three is the best.
Reconnect lost PPPoE link
This setting controls how and when the Edge tries to restart a
PPPoE connection after it is broken. The default value is on
outgoing packet. With this option, the Edge tries to connect
when a computer on the trusted or optional networks sends
traffic to the external network. If you set the Edge to connect
immediately, the Edge tries to connect when it finds that the
PPPoE connection is broken.
Enable PPPoE debug trace
WatchGuard Technical Support uses this check box to
troubleshoot PPPoE problems. With this option on, the Edge
makes a file that you can send to Technical Support. Use this
option only when Technical Support tells you because it
decreases Edge performance.
Click Submit when you have completed the configuration of the
Advanced PPPoE settings.
