PPPoE overview
You can configure ETH WAN Fast Ethernet ports as a WAN port using PPPoE (PPP over
Ethernet). PPPoE offers dialup style authentication and accounting and allows subscribers to
dynamically select their ISP.
PPPoE is a client-server protocol used for carrying PPP-encapsulated data over Ethernet
frames. A PPPoE client can establish a tunnel that carries PPP frames between a dialing host
(the Branch Gateway) and an access concentrator. This enables the use of PPP authentication
