5.6 Technical Reference

The following section contains additional technical information about the ZyXEL
Device features described in this chapter.

PPPoE

Passthrough

(PPPoE

encapsulati

on only)

This field is available when you select PPPoE encapsulation.

In addition to the ZyXEL Device's built-in PPPoE client, you can enable
PPPoE pass through to allow up to ten hosts on the LAN to use PPPoE
client software on their computers to connect to the ISP via the ZyXEL
Device. Each host can have a separate account and a public WAN IP
address.

PPPoE pass through is an alternative to NAT for application where NAT is
not appropriate.

Disable PPPoE pass through if you do not need to allow hosts on the LAN
to use PPPoE client software on their computers to connect to the ISP.

IP Filter

This section is not available when you configure the ZyXEL Device to be
in bridge mode.

IP Filter

Active

Select this option to enable IP filtering on this connection.

VLAN

VLAN Active Select this option to enable VLAN multiplexing of multiple protocols over

a single virtual circuit. You need to assign a VLAN ID and priority level to
traffic through each WAN connection. All WAN connections share one
MAC address. This allows the backbone switch to classify and service
traffic based on the VLAN tag.

Otherwise, disable VLAN multiplexing and each WAN connection has its
own MAC address.

Note: This field is only configurable for the first WAN connection.

When you change the setting here, all existing WAN
connections will be removed except for the first WAN
connection.

VLAN ID

Enter a VLAN ID number for traffic that goes through this connection.

Priority

Enter a priority level for traffic that goes through this connection.

Back

Click this to return to the previous screen.

Apply

Click this to save the changes.

Reset

Click this to restore your last-saved settings.
