PPPoE or PPPoA
An SSG 20 device includes both PPPoE and PPPoA clients to connect to the service
provider’s network over the ADSL link. PPPoE is the most common form of ADSL
encapsulation and is intended for termination on each host on your network.
PPPoA is used primarily for business-class service, as PPP sessions can be
terminated on the device. To allow the device to connect to the network of the
service provider, you need to configure the username and password assigned by the
service provider. The configuration for PPPoA is similar to the configuration for
PPPoE.
To configure the username roswell and password area51 for PPPoE and bind the
PPPoE configuration to the adsl1/0 interface, use the WebUI or CLI as follows:
WebUI
Network > PPP > PPPoE Profile> New: Enter the following, then click OK:
PPPoE Instance: poe1
Bound to Interface: adsl1/0 (select)
Username: roswell
Password: area51
CLI
set pppoe name poe1 username roswell password area51
set pppoe name poe1 interface adsl1/0
save
There are other PPPoE or PPPoA parameters that you can configure on the device,
including method of authentication (by default, the device supports either
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol or Password Authentication Protocol),
idle timeout (default is 30 minutes), and so on. Ask your service provider if there
are additional PPPoE or PPPoA parameters that you need to configure to enable
proper communications with the service provider’s server.
NOTE: The device supports only one PPPoE session on each virtual circuit.
