Description

Connection Mode

Select PPPoE Unnumbered from the connection mode drop-down list.

 

Traditionally, each network interface must have a unique IP address.

 

However, an unnumbered interface does not have to have a unique IP

 

address. This means that when this option is selected, the WAN and the LAN

 

use the same IP address. Network resources are therefore conserved

 

because fewer network IP addresses are used and routing table is smaller.
