Select WAN Protocol
1.On the Protocol Selection window, you will select from these options:
•RFC-2684 Bridged:
A pure bridged connection wherein the router accepts RFC-2684 encapsulated traffic from the WAN and drops the encapsulation to bridge Ethernet traffic through to the LAN. No router functions are performed on this traffic.
•RFC-2684 Bridged/IP:
A bridged connection wherein the router accepts RFC-2684 encapsulated traffic from the WAN.
Unlike RFC-2684 Bridged protocol, however, the WAN interface has an IP address and handles the traffic, routing only relevant data on to the appropriate LAN interface(s). The IP address used for this protocol can be manually entered or, if the ISP provides a DHCP server, can be obtained using DHCP.
•RFC-2684 Routed:
An IP-driven protocol with different encapsulation than RFC-2684 Bridged, but does route traffic. Since this protocol does not support DHCP, the IP address must be manually entered.
•PPPoE:
A PPP connection over Ethernet encapsulated using RFC-2684 Bridging protocol. The router can support up to four PPPoE session per virtual connection. You can configure the PPPoE protocol in one of four modes:
-Client Mode:
Terminates the PPP traffic and pass on pure Ethernet to the LAN.
