DESCRIPTION

 

PPPoE

This field is available when you select PPPoE encapsulation.

 

Passthrough

 

 

(PPPoE

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

 

encapsulati

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

 

on only)

 

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.

 

 

 

 

IP Filter

This section is not available when you configure the ZyXEL Device to be

 

 

in bridge mode.

 

 

 

 

IP Filter

Select this option to enable IP filtering on this connection.

 

Active

 

 

 

 

 

VLAN

 

 

 

 

 

VLAN Active

Select this option to enable VLAN multiplexing of multiple protocols over

 

 

a single virtual circuit. You need to assign a VLAN ID and priority level to

 

 

traffic through each WAN connection. All WAN connections share one

 

 

MAC address. This allows the backbone switch to classify and service

 

 

traffic based on the VLAN tag, instead of the MAC address.

 

 

Otherwise, disable VLAN multiplexing and each WAN connection has its

 

 

own MAC address.

 

 

Note: This field is only configurable for the first WAN connection.

 

 

When you change the setting here, all existing WAN

 

 

connections will be removed except for the first WAN

 

 

connection.

 

 

 

 

VLAN ID

Enter a VLAN ID number for traffic that goes through this connection.

 

 

 

 

Priority

Enter a priority level for traffic that goes through this connection.
