E Configuration
Introduction
As the Bridged PPPoE Packet Service implies nothing more than using the
SpeedTouch™ Bridged Ethernet Packet Service; the default settings of the
SpeedTouch™ will be sufficient to achieve connectivity.
However, you may need to configure the SpeedTouch™ Bridged Ethernet Packet
Service in order to meet the requirements of your Service Provider regarding the
AAL5/RFC2684/Bridged Connection Service to use for end-to-end connectivity.
Preparatory Steps for
using Bridged Ethernet for
Bridged PPPoE
To be able to configure the SpeedTouch™ successfully for the Bridged PPPoE
Packet Service, the following information must be available:
The VPI/VCI value of the Virtual Channel on which the PPPoE connection
service is enabled.
The encapsulation method (in most - if not all - cases LLC/SNAP).
