Configuring PPP Interfaces

Field	Description
Default Route	This field indicates whether the ADSL Barricade
	should use the IP address assigned to this
	connection as its default route. It can be [Enable]
	or [Disable]. See Quick Start on page 7 for an
	explanation of default routes.
Use DHCP	When set to [Enable], the device will acquire
	additional IP information from the ISP's DHCP
	server. The PPP connection itself acquires the
	device's IP address,mask, DNS address, and
	default gateway address. With the DHCP enabled,
	the device will acquire IP addresses for other
	various server types (WINS, SMTP, POP3, etc. -
	these server types are listed on the [DHCP Server
	Configuration] page).
Use DNS	When set to [Enable], the DNS address learned
	through the PPP connection will be distributed to
	clients of the device's DHCP server. This option is
	useful only when the ADSL Barricade is configured
	to act as a DHCP Server for your LAN. When set to
	[Disable], LAN hosts will use the DNS address
	preconfigured in the DHCP pool (see Configuring
	DHCP Server on page 45) and in the DNS feature.
Oper. Status	Ths field indicates whether the link is currently up
	or down or if a specific type of data exchange is
	under way (e.g., password authorization or
	DHCP).
Action	You can use these icons to modify (	), delete
	( ), and view additional details on (	) the PPP
	interface.
