4.2.3. PPP Over Ethernet
In this configuration, additional management services can be activated, like
authentication and efficient bandwidth management (by closing inactive sessions).
Additional parameters should be defined:
•
User name, password and authentication protocol (in most of the cases PAP is
used).
•
Whether the call is connected constantly (Direct) or the connection is established
only when real communication activity with the WAN is performed (Auto).
•
In Auto state, define the length of idle time after which the call is disconnected.
In PPP configuration, IP addresses for accessing the WAN are supplied by the ISP to
the router. When the router is activating the internal DHCP, it supplies IP addresses to
the computers in the LAN. This must be done to enable surfing the Internet from a
computer in the LAN. In addition, NAPT must be activated to translate IP addresses
between the LAN and the WAN.
4.2.4. PPP Over ATM
