PPPoE

This feature is available when you select PPPoE encapsulation.

Passthrough

In addition to the ZyXEL Device's built-in PPPoE client, you can enable PPPoE

 

pass through to allow up to ten hosts on the LAN to use PPPoE client software on

 

their computers to connect to the ISP via the ZyXEL Device. Each host can have a

 

separate account and a public WAN IP address.

 

PPPoE pass through is an alternative to NAT for application where NAT is not

 

appropriate.

 

Disable PPPoE pass through if you do not need to allow hosts on the LAN to use

 

PPPoE client software on their computers to connect to the ISP.
