Youcan specify the IP encapsulation type as either ethern et for DIX
Ethernet-II, or ieee802 for IEEE 802.2/802.3. The default IP
encapsulationis ethernet. All systems that have Ethernet interfaces are
IEEE 802.3 compliant, but very few actually do 802.3 packet
encapsulation.
Do not change thispa rameterunless you know absolutely that
your Ethernethosts are using 802.2/802.3 packet encapsulation.
An incorrecte ncapsulationtype prevents your Remote Access
