PPPoE
The Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) encapsulates PPP frames
inside Ethernet frames to create a PPPoE tunnel between hosts connected to
the ZNID and other devices out in the cloud. While Ethernet is packet-based
(so no direct connection is opened), PPP is a direct connection where one
device directly connects to another using the protocol. PPPoE is a virtual
connection (usually called tunnel) between two devices.
On the Configuration | Interfaces | PPPoE page you can add a PPPoE on a
port by VLAN, either as PPPoE Routed or PPPoE Bridged .
To create PPPoE tunnels see Creating PPPoE tunnels, page 179
