PPPoE Connection Type
Computers connected to the Internet via ADSL do so through an Ethernet link. As such,
plain TCP/IP has been used, with no additional protocols. PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol)
provides secure login, and traffic metering among other advanced features. PPPoE
(PPP over Ethernet) was designed to bring the security and metering benefits of PPP to
Ethernet connections such as DSL.
PPPoE allows ADSL users to be authenticated by the ISP’s Radius authentication
systems. Most broadband connections are Ethernet, hence Point-to-Point Protocol over
Ethernet. It also allows for ISPs to provide multiple services over multiple PPP sessions,
ie, rated services, broadband specific content (movies, etc.), metered services, etc.
To Configure PPPoE:
NOTE:
If you need to use the VPI and VCI values in an existing connection, you
