PPPoE
Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a Layer 2 protocol which uses the PPP
(Point to Point) protocol to connect a client system to a server system over a one to
one network link. All traffic for a PPPoE connected client must go through the PPPoE
server to reach the client. A PPPoE server can therefore be used to route, NAT, firewall,
and perform QoS traffic shaping.
If a PPPoE server is used to distribute Internet access to subscribers, the Access Point
can be configured with a PPPoE username and password to authenticate with the
PPPoE server.
PPPoE is available only for the IPv4 connection type; PPPoE is not supported in IPv6
environments.
To set the IPv4 connection type to PPPoE
1. Go to Configuration > Internet.
2. Under IPv4 Connection Type, select PPPoE.
3. Enter an IPv4 Primary DNS Server address. Secondary DNS server is optional.
4. Enter a PPPoE Username.
5. Enter a PPPoE Password.
6. Retype the password in PPPoE Password Confirmation.
7. Click Update Settings to save your changes.

Configuring L2TP Connection Settings

You can implement transparent bridging with ZoneFlex through the use of L2TP (Layer
2 Tunneling Protocol) tunneling. By tunneling traffic from a ZoneFlex AP to a central-
ized data center, access controllers with policy enforcement software can apply rules
and services. In a typical WLAN implementation, these rules include a captive portal
to authenticate users' credentials.
In the case of L2TP, the ZoneFlex AP functions as a remote bridge. As such, it forwards
traffic into PPP sessions over the L2TP tunnel. This implementation ensures that you
have complete visibility into MAC addresses of users, as individual Wi-Fi clients are
essentially placed (bridged) onto the ISP's core network.
