ZyWALL 5/35/70 Series User’s Guide

Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.

By implementing PPPoE directly on the ZyWALL (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the ZyWALL does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs’ computers will have access.

Refer to Appendix F on page 698 for more information on PPPoE.

The screen shown next is for PPPoE encapsulation.
