4.4.1.3 PPPoE Connection Setup

PPPoE is also known as RFC 2516. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets over Ethernet.

PPPor Point-to-Point Protocol is a method of establishing a network connection/session between network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism for authenticating users.

To configure the gateway for PPPoE, click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed. At the Type field select PPPoE and the PPPoE connection setup page is displayed; Figure 6 illustrates a typical PPPoE configuration. Give your PPPoE connection a unique name; the name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. In this case, the unique name is called PPPoE1. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you are not sure, just use the default mode. Select the VPI and VCI settings; your ADSL Provider or ISP will supply these; in this case, the ADSL Provider is using 0,100. Also select the Quality of Service (QoS); leave the default value if you are unsure or the ISP did not provide this information.

The following is a description of the different options:

a.Username: The username for the PPPoE access; this is provided by your ADSL Provider or ISP.

b.Password: The password for the PPPoE access; this is provided by your ADSL Provider or ISP.

c.On-Demand: Enables on-demand mode. The connection will disconnect if no activity is detected after the specified idle timeout value.

d.Idle Timeout: Specifies that PPPoE connection should disconnect if the link has no activity detected for n seconds. This field is used in conjunction with the On-Demand feature. To ensure that the link is always active, enter a 0 in this field.
