WAN PPPoE Easy Setup
If your Internet Service Provider connects you using a PPPoE server you need to
click the PPPoE option in the Easy Setup window (see the window above). This
window only requires a username and password to access your Internet Service
Provider. This information is available from your Internet Service Provider.
The PPPoE setting causes the MultiCom Firewall to automatically and regularly
demand its IP configuration from a PPPoE server connected through the WAN
interface using the username and password. All needed Internet parameters such
as the MultiCom Firewall’s IP address, IP subnet, default gateway, and external
DNS servers will be automatically requested directly from the ISP using the
PPPoE protocol. Below are the steps necessary to configure a PPPoE
connection.
1. Select
PPPoE
in the Connection Type box and click the “Next” button to see
the following Easy Setup configuration option page.
