This connection method bridges your network and ISP’s network together. The Router will obtain an IP address automatically from your ISP’s DHCP server.

1.IP Assigned by ISP – Leave “Yes” if your ISP automatically assigns an IP address. If your ISP assigned a fixed IP address, select “No” and enter assigned values.

2.VPI/VCI – Enter your VPI and VCI parameter here. These identifiers are assigned by your ISP.

3.Encapsulation – Select LLC or VC MUX your ISP uses.

Setting your ISP Connection Type to Static IP (IPoA)
