4.2.3 PPPoE Encapsulation

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an
IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) draft standard specifying how a host personal
computer interacts with a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to
achieve access to high-speed data networks.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with
existing access control systems (for instance, Radius). For the user, PPPoE provides a login
and authentication method that the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking software can
activate, and therefore requires no new learning or procedures for Windows users.
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network
services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to
easily create and offer new IP services for specific users.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it
requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscriber's site.

DESCRIPTION
The fixed IP address should be in the same subnet as your broadband modem or
router. This should be provided to you by your ISP
Enter a Subnet Mask appropriate to your network.
Enter the Gateway IP Address of the neighboring device, if you know it. If you do
not, leave the Gateway IP Address field blank.
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding
IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because
without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it.
Enter your DNS Server IP address here.
