Step 2:4 PPPoE/PPPoA

PPPor Point-to-Point protocol is a standard method of establishing a network connection/session between networked devices. Different forms of PPP include PPPoA and PPPoE, and they involve an authentication process that requires a username and password to gain access to the network. PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet), as described in RFC 2516, is a method of using PPP through the Ethernet network. PPPoA (Point to Point Protocol over ATM) configuration requires the same basic information as the previously discussed PPPoE and both configuration menus are identical. Notice the VPI and VCI values are included.

To configure the connection for PPPoE/PPPoA, perform the steps listed below. Some of the settings do not need to be changed the first time the device is set up,

but can be changed later if you choose. After

setting the values listed, click the Next button Figure 3-9. Set PPPoE window to go to Step 3 of the Configuration Wizard.

VPI/VCI	If you are told to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the values
	given to you by your service provider. Many users will be able to use
	the default settings.
Username &	Type the Username and Password used to verify the identity of your
Password	account. Typically, the Username is an account number assigned by
	your ISP. See your ISP for further information.
Connection Type	Choose between PPPoE LLC, PPPoA LLC or PPPoE VC-Mux
	depending on the instructions of your ISP.
