Select Interface
This window appears if there are more than one interface of the type you selected
in the Create Connection window. Choose the interface that you want to use for
this connection.
If you are configuring an Ethernet interface, SDM inserts the description text
$ETH-WAN$ in the configuration file so that it will recognize the interface as a
WAN interface in the future.
Encapsulation: PPPoE
This window lets you enable Point-to-Point-Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)
encapsulation. This is necessary if your service provider or network administr ator
requires remote routers to communicate using PPPoE.
PPPoE is a protocol used by many asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL)
service providers. Ask your service provider if PPPoE is used over your
connection.
If you choose PPPoE encapsulation, SDM automatically adds a dialer interface to
the configuration, and this is shown in the Summary window.
Enable PPPoE Encapsulation
If your service provider requires that the router use PPPoE, check this box to
enable PPPoE encapsulation. Uncheck this box if your service provider does not
use PPPoE. This check box will not be available if your router is running a version
of Cisco IOS that does not support PPPoE encapsulation.
IP Address: ATM or Ethernet with PPPoE/PPPoA
Choose the method that the WAN interface will use to obtain an IP address.
Static IP Address
If you choose static IP address, enter the IP address and subnet mask or the
network bits in the fields provided.
