To configure your DSL device, select the DSL module from the YaST Network Devices
section. This YaST module consists of several dialogs in which to set the parameters
of DSL links based on one of the following protocols:
• PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
• PPP over ATM (PPPoATM)
• CAPI for ADSL (Fritz Cards)
• Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)—Austria
The configuration of a DSL connection based on PPPoE or PPTP requires that the
corresponding network card has already been set up in the correct way. If you have not
done so yet, first configure the card by selecting Configure Network Cards (see
Sec-
tion 30.4.1, “Configuring the Network Card with YaST” (page 560)). In the case of a
DSL link, addresses may be assigned automatically but not via DHCP, which is why
you should not enable the option Automatic address setup (via DHCP). Instead, enter
a static dummy address for the interface, such as
192.168.22.1
. In Subnet Mask,
enter
255.255.255.0
. If you are configuring a stand-alone workstation, leave Default
Gateway empty.
TIP
Values in IP Address and Subnet Mask are only placeholders. They are only
needed to initialize the network card and do not represent the DSL link as such.
