5.6.6PPP

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is one of several protocols used to enable communication between ISPs and their customers. PPP performs tasks such as the following:

zIdentifying the type of service the ISP provides to a given customer.

zIdentifying the customer to the ISP through a username and password login.

zEnabling the ISP to assign Internet information to the customer's computers.

You can configure the following settings on the PPP Configuration page:

Inactivity TimeOut...: The time in minutes that must elapse before a PPP connection times-out due to inactivity. This setting applies only to PPP interfaces that are configured as "start-on-data" interfaces. This type of interface starts up only when it receives data, and then returns to a down state after the specified amount of time. This setting works with the following setting to determine what type of data can activate a start-on-data interface.

Ignore WAN to LAN traffic...: When enabled, data traffic traveling in the incoming direction -- from a WAN interface to the LAN interface -- will not count as activity on the WAN port for the purposes of determining whether to make it inactive; i.e., WAN to LAN traffic will not activate a start-on-data interface. Only LAN-to-WAN traffic will start the interface.

The PPP Configuration table displays the following fields:

Interface: The predefined name of the PPP interface.
