ZyXEL Communications ZYWALL10 - Manual (Page 60)

ZyWALL 10 Internet Security Gateway
3-12 Internet Access
known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer new IP
services for specific users.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the end user and ISP/carrier, as it requires no specific
configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the ZyWALL 10 (rather than individual computer’s), the computers on
the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the ZyWALL does that part of the task. Furthermore,
with NAT, all of the LAN’s computers will have access.
If you enable PPPoE in menu 4, you will see the next screen. For more information on PPPoE, please see the
Appendices.
