IP Address of Remote DHCP Server
If you clicked DHCP Relay, enter the IP address of the DHCP server that will
provide addresses to devices on the LAN.
Connection: Ethernet WAN
This window lets you add an Ethernet WAN connection.
Enable PPPoE Encapsulation
Click this option if the connection must use PPPoE encapsulation. Your service
provider can tell you whether the connection uses PPPoE. When you configure a
PPPoE connection, a Dialer interface is automatically created.
IP Address
Select one of the following IP address types, and enter the information in the
displayed fields. If the Ethernet connection is not using PPPoE, you will see only
the Static IP address and Dynamic options.
Static IP Address
If you choose static IP address, enter the IP address and subnet mask or the
network bits in the fields provided. For more information, refer to IP Addresses
and Subnet Masks.
Dynamic (DHCP Client)
If you choose Dynamic, the router will lease an IP address from a remote DHCP
server. Enter the name of the DHCP server from which addresses will be leased.
IP Unnumbered
Select IP Unnumbered if you want the interface to share an IP address that has
already been assigned to another interface. Then, select the interface whose IP
address you want the interface you are configuring to use.
Easy IP (IP Negotiated)
Select Easy IP (IP Negotiated) if the router will obtain an IP address via
Point-to-Point Protocol/IP Control Protocol (PPP/IPCP) address negotiation.
