5.6 Technical Reference

The following section contains additional technical information about the P-870HN- 51D features described in this chapter.

Encapsulation

Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The P-870HN-51D can work in bridge mode or routing mode. When the P-870HN-51D is in routing mode, it supports the following methods.

IP over Ethernet

IP over Ethernet (IPoE) is an alternative to PPPoE. IP packets are being delivered across an Ethernet network, without using PPP encapsulation. They are routed between the Ethernet interface and the WAN interface and then formatted so that they can be understood in a bridged environment. For instance, it encapsulates routed Ethernet frames into bridged Ethernet cells.
