3.4.3 PPPOE CONFIGURATION
PPPoE is also known as RFC 2516. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets over Ethernet.
PPPoA is also known as RFC2364 and named as Peer to Peer Protocol over ATM. As PPPoE, it
also has all the features of PPP. Although it’s based on ATM protocol, the setting of all the other
parameters is similar with PPPoE. So we only introduce PPPoE in detail here.
In Figure 3.4, select PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), press “Next step” entering the configuring interface,
as Figure 3.8.
Figure 3.8
PPP Username: Your account from ISP to access Internet.
PPP Password: Input the password assigned by your ISP.
PPPoE service name: Server name of network ISP. No need to set.
Authentication Method: Authentication mode of network ISP. Default is AUTO.
Dial on demand: When this mode is selected, the connection that has no traffic within assigned
disconnect timeout (e.g. 1 minute) will be automatically disconnected. The connection
will be activated again when traffic arrives. This function is advantageous for users
who are charged with online time. It should be noticed that some programs
automatically link to Internet. Computer will send data to network when infected by
virus. Connection will not be disconnected under these data streams.
Inactivity Timeout (minutes) [1-4320]: When “Connection on demand” is selected, this input box
indicates that after how
long the connection will be disconnected in the absence of traffic. If the value is 0, connection will
not be disconnected.
PPP IP Extension: The PPP IP Extension is a special feature deployed by some service providers.
Unless your service provider specifically requires this setup, do not select it.
