4. Refer to the Connection Status field.

Shutdown

Displays whether a high speed client mode point-to-point connection has been enabled using the PPPoE
protocol. A green checkmark defines the connection as enabled. A red X defines the connection as
shutdown.

Service

Lists the 128 character maximum PPPoE client service name provided by the service provider.

DSL Modem Network
(VLAN)

Displays the PPPoE VLAN (client local network) connected to the DSL modem. This is the local network
connected to DSL modem.

Authentication Type

Lists authentication type used by the PPPoE client whose credentials must be shared by its peer.
Supported authentication options include None, PAP, CHAP, MSCHAP, and MSCHAP-v2.

Username

Displays the 64 character maximum username used for authentication support by the PPPoE client.

Password

Displays the 64 character maximum password used for authentication by the PPPoE client.

Client Idle Timeout

The controller or service platform uses the listed timeout so it does not sit idle waiting for input from a
PPPoE client and the server that may never come.

Keep Alive

If a keep alive is utilized (enabled displays a green checkmark, disabled a red X) the point-to-point
connect to the PPPoE client is continuously maintained and not timed out.

Maximum
Transmission Unit
(MTU)

Displays the PPPoE client maximum transmission unit (MTU) from 500 - 1,492. The MTU is the largest
physical packet size in bytes a network can transmit. Any messages larger than the MTU are divided into
smaller packets before being sent. A PPPoE client should be able to maintain its point-to-point
connection for this defined MTU size.
