PPPoE Support

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up

 

(RFC2516)

connection. It allows your ISP to use their existing network

 

 

configuration with newer broadband technologies such as ADSL.

 

 

The PPPoE driver on your device is transparent to the computers

 

 

on the LAN, which see only Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE

 

 

thus saving you from having to manage PPPoE clients on individual

 

 

computers.

 

 

 

 

Other PPPoE Features

PPPoE idle time out

 

 

PPPoE dial on demand

 

 

 

 

Multiple PVC

Your device supports up to 8 Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs).

 

(Permanent Virtual

 

 

Circuits) Support

 

 

 

 

 

IP Alias

IP alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical

 

 

networks over the same Ethernet interface. Your device supports

 

 

three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical Ethernet

 

 

interface with the your device itself as the gateway for each LAN

 

 

network.

 

 

 

 

Packet Filters

Your device’s packet filtering function allows added network

 

 

security and management.
