17.4.5 DSL
TIP: IBM System z: DSL
The configuration of this type of hardware is not supported on IBM System z
platforms.
To configure your DSL device, select the DSL module from the YaST Network Devices
section. This YaST module consists of several dialogs in which to set the parameters
of DSL links based on one of the following protocols:
• PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
• PPP over ATM (PPPoATM)
• CAPI for ADSL (Fritz Cards)
• Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)—Austria
In the DSL Devices tab of the DSL Configuration Overview dialog, you will find a list
of installed DSL devices. To change the configuration of a DSL device, select it in the
list and click Edit. If you click Add, you can manually configure a new DSL device.
The configuration of a DSL connection based on PPPoE or PPTP requires that the
corresponding network card be set up in the correct way. If you have not done so yet,
first configure the card by selecting Configure Network Cards (see
"Configuring the Network Card with YaST"
addresses may be assigned automatically but not via DHCP, which is why you should
not enable the option Dynamic Address. Instead, enter a static dummy address for the
interface, such as 192.168.22.1. In Subnet Mask, enter 255.255.255.0. If you
are configuring a stand-alone workstation, leave Default Gateway empty.
TIP
Values in IP Address and Subnet Mask are only placeholders. They are only
needed to initialize the network card and do not represent the DSL link as such.
In the first DSL configuration dialog (see
select the PPP Mode and the Ethernet Card to which the DSL modem is connected (in
(page 217)). In the case of a DSL link,
