13.1.1 PPPoE
A list of all PPToE interfaces is displayed in the WAN->In Dialup->PPPoE menu.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) is the use of the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) network pro-
tocol over an Ethernet connection. Today, PPPoE is used for ADSL connections in Ger-
many. In Austria, the Point To Point Tunnelling Protocol (PPTP) was originally used for AD-
SL access. However, PPPoE is now offered here too by some providers.

PPPoE Mode
Select whether you want to use a standard Internet connection
over PPPoE (
) or your Internet access is to be set
up over several interfaces (
.3++B
). If you choose
.3+
+B
, you can connect several DSL connections from a pro-
vider over PPP as a static bundle in order to obtain more band-
width. Each of these DSL connections should use a separate
Ethernet connection for this. At the moment, many providers are
still in the process of preparing the PPPoE Multilink function.
For PPPoE Multilink, we recommend using your device's Ether-
net switch in Split-Port mode and to use a separate Ethernet in-
terface e.g.
,
for each PPPoE connection.
If you also want to use an external modem for PPPoE Multilink,
you must run your device's Ethernet switch in Split-Port mode.
