PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a specification for connecting multiple computer users on an Ethernet local
area network to a remote site through DSL or cable modems or similar devices. PPPoE can be used to have an office or
building-full of users share a common Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), cable modem, or wireless connection to the internet.
PPPoE combines the Point-to-Point (PPP), commonly used in dialup connections, with the Ethernet protocol which support
multiple users in a local area network.
Important: If DHCP client is enabled, the PPPoE cannot be used. The internet connection can be either PPPoE or DHCP
client at any given time.
