Encapsulation | The PPP over Ethernet choice is for a |
| Prestige supports PPPoE |
| IETF Draft standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts |
| with a broadband modem (i.e. xDSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. |
| Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the end user and ISP/carrier, |
| as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer |
| site. By implementing PPPoE directly on the router rather than individual |
| computers, the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since |
| the router does that part of the task. Further, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers |
| will have access. |
Service Name | Type the PPPoE service name provided to you. PPPoE uses a service name to |
| identify and reach the PPPoE server. |
