Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is used by many Asymmetrical
Digital Subscriber Line (ASDL) providers. It is a specification for connecting
many users on a network to the Internet through a single dedicated medium,
such as a DSL account.
You can specify whether you connect or disconnect your PPPoE account
manually or automatically. This is useful to verify connectivity.
You can configure the appliance to connect only when an Internet request is
made from a user on the LAN (for example, browsing to a Web site) and
disconnect when the connection is idle (unused). This feature is useful if your
ISP charges on a per-usage time basis.
You can use multiple logins (if your ISP account allows multi-session PPPoE) to
obtain additional IP addresses for the WAN. These are called PPPoE sessions.
The login may be the same user name and password as the main session or may
be different for each session, depending on your ISP. Up to five sessions or IP
addresses are allowed for model 320 and up to three sessions for each WAN port
on models 360 and 360R. LAN hosts are bound to a session on the Computers
tab. See "Configuring LAN IP settings"
Note: Multiple IP addresses on a WAN port are only supported for PPPoE
connections.
