Using Bridged PPPoE
To use Bridged PPPoE, a third party PPPoE client must be used on the computer.
The PPPoE client software will in most cases be provided by the Service Provider or
might be embedded in your operating system.
Via the PPPoE client, you will be able to create PPPoE session entities, representing
all the connection parameters, just like creating Dial-Up icons with the Dial-Up
Networking application of Microsoft.
All you need is your user name and password for your account; although
sometimes also a Service Name, and/or Access Concentrator is required. Check
with the Service Provider which parameters are required.
For further details on how to fill in these parameters and use additional
functionality, see
“4.2 Connect to the Internet via a Host PPPoE Dial-In Client” on
page 32 . Also, consult the documentation delivered with the PPPoE client software
or follow the instructions of your Service Provider.
