Next Click this to open a screen to configure wireless security options. 7.3.3 PPPoE The NBG2105 supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. The PPPoE option is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE. For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access control systems (for example Radius). One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you 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 individuals. Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer 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 LANs' computers will have access. Select PPPoE from WAN Access Type to make the NBG2105 get its IP configuration via PPPoE.
