2.4.3 PPPoE Mode

In this mode, ISP provides the Global IP address automatically using PPPoE Protocol.

PPPoE protocol is a method of transmitting PPP packets over Ethernet network. Hence PPPoE is an acronym for PPP over Ethernet. It provides the ability to connect multiple hosts at a remote site through the same customer premise access device. In addition, it provides access control, billing and type of service on a per-user, rather than a per-site, basis.

PPPhas three main components:

•A method for encapsulating datagram over serial links.

•A Link Control Protocol (LCP) for establishing, configuring, and testing the data- link connection.

•A family of Network Control Protocols (NCP) for establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols. PPP is designed to allow the simultaneous use of multiple network layer protocols.

PPPoE has two distinct stages. There is a Discovery stage and a PPP Session stage. When a Host wishes to initiate a PPPoE session, it must first perform Discovery to identify the Ethernet MAC address of the peer and establish a PPPoE SESSION_ID. While PPP defines a peer-to-peer relationship, Discovery is inherently a client-server relationship. In the Discovery process, a Host (the client) discovers an Access Concentrator (the server). Based on the network topology, there may be more than one Access Concentrator that the Host can communicate with. The Discovery stage allows the Host to discover all Access Concentrators and then select one. When Discovery completes successfully, both the Host and the selected Access Concentrator have the information they will use to build their point-to-point connection over Ethernet.

Unnumbered Interfaces:

Point-to-point links are like pipes – any traffic sent through one end will be received at the other end. So the IP Addresses of interfaces at either end of the point-to-point link can be of local significance. The PPPoE interface at the router can be configured as an unnumbered interface. In this case, the unnumbered interface can borrow the LAN IP Address, and does not require a Global IP Addresses to be assigned by the ISP.

Select Interface → WAN1 and choose IP Setting Mode as PPPoE. Configure PPPoE Settings for WAN1 Interface as explained below.
