Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communications protocol that lets IP hosts in its
network automatically obtain IP addresses from a limited pool of addresses for a fixed length of time, or
lease period. Using DHCP simplifies configuration since you can manage the assignment of IP addresses
from a central point. You do not need to manually enter an IP address for the public interface, and you
do not need to know what IP addresses are considered valid on a particular network.
The DHCP server for the Public interface resides on the central-site VPN Concentrator.
Step 1
To obtain an IP address for the public interface using DHCP, at the prompt enter 2 and press Enter. The
system proceeds to the IPSec parameters; see the section, “
Configuring IPSec
.”

PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a proposal that specifies how a host PC interacts with a broadband
modem—xDSL, cable, wireless—to achieve access to high-speed data networks. It relies on the Ethernet
and PPP standards. It includes an authentication strategy that requires a username and password to create
a PPPoE session on the VPN 3002.
To configure the VPN 3002 to use PPPoE, follow these steps:
Step 1
At the prompt enter 3, and press Enter. The system prompts for a PPPoE username.
