Figure 94 Uplink Status Ethernet uplink supports the following types of configuration in this Instant release. n PPPoE n DHCP n Static IP You can use PPPoE for your uplink connectivity in both W-IAP and IAP-VPN deployments. PPPoE is supported only in a single W-IAP deployment. Uplink redundancy with the PPPoE link is not supported. When the Ethernet link is up, it is used as a PPPoE or DHCP uplink. After the PPPoE settings are configured, PPPoE has the highest priority for the uplink connections. The W-IAP can establish a PPPoE session with a PPPoE server at the ISP and get authenticated using Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) or the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). Depending upon the request from the PPPoE server, either the PAP or the CHAP credentials are used for authentication. After configuring PPPoE, reboot the W-IAP for the configuration to take effect. The PPPoE connection is dialed after the W-IAP comes up. The PPPoE configuration is checked during W-IAP boot and if the configuration is correct, Ethernet is used for the uplink connection. When PPPoE is used, do not configure Dynamic RADIUS Proxy and IP address of the VC. An SSID created with default VLAN is not supported with PPPoE uplink. You can also configure an alternate Ethernet uplink to enable uplink failover when an Ethernet port fails. Configuring PPPoE Uplink Profile You can configure PPPoE settings from the Instant UI or the CLI. In the Instant UI Configuring PPPoE settings: 1. Click the System link on the Instant main window. 2. In the System section, click the Show advanced options link. 3. Perform the following steps in the PPPoE section in the Uplink tab: a. Enter the PPPoE service name provided by your service provider in the Service name text box. b. Enter the secret key used for Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) authentication in the CHAP secret and Retype text boxes. You can use a maximum of 34 characters for the CHAP secret key. c. Enter the username for the PPPoE connection in the User text box. 319 | Uplink Configuration Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 | User Guide
