Chapter 4 Router Setup Wizard The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 10 WAN Access Type: DHCP Client LABEL DESCRIPTION WAN Access Type Select DHCP Client to make the NBG2105 get its IP configuration from a DHCP server. Cancel Click this to cancel the wizard. Back Click this to go back to the previous step in the wizard. Next Click this to go to the next step in the wizard. 4.3.3 WAN Access Type: PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standard specifying how a host personal computer interacts with a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access to high-speed data networks. For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access control systems (for instance, RADIUS). One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network services, a function 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 subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscriber's site. By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG2105 (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG2105 does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access. Select PPPoE as the WAN Access Type to make the WAN port setup its IP configuration via PPPoE. Complete the fields described. Click Next to proceed with the Wireless Network Name (SSID) screen. Figure 15 WAN Access Type: PPPoE NBG2105 User's Guide 35

4.3.3
WAN Access Type: PPPoE
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an IETF
(Internet Engineering Task Force) standard specifying how a host personal computer interacts with
a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access to high-speed data
networks.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing
access control systems (for instance, RADIUS).
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network services,
a function 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 subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it
requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscriber's site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG2105 (rather than individual computers), the computers
on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG2105 does that part of the task.
Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access.
