PPPoE Connection
Point-to-Point Protocol [=PPP] is a method of establishing a network connection between network
hosts. PPPoE, also known as RFC 2516, adapts PPP to work over Ethernet for ADSL connections.
Among other things, PPPoE provides a mechanism for authenticating users by providing User Name
and Password fields and is a connection type provided by many ISPs.
To setup PPPoE, select WAN Setup >New Connection. From Type: select PPPoE [already selected
by default]
Enter the PPPoE connection name: the name must be unique, must not contain spaces and must not
begin with a number [e.g. PPPoE_1].
NAT Option: Network Address Translation is on by default [recommended].
Firewall [SPI]: Firewall is on by default [recommended].
Allow Incoming Ping: Unchecked by default [recommended]. Check only if this function is required
for testing purposes.
Select the Quality of Service [QoS] type; if in doubt leave as default
