Chapter 7 WAN Table 22 Connection Type: DHCP Client LABEL DESCRIPTION ISP Parameters for Internet Access Connection Type Select DHCP Client if your ISP dynamically assigns an IP address on connection. MTU Size Type the MTU or maximum size of each data packet, in bytes, that can move through this interface. If a larger packet arrives, the NBG6615 divides it into smaller fragments. Allowed values are 576 to 1500. By default this value is 1500. DNS Servers Attain DNS Automatically Click the Attain DNS Automatically button if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the NBG6615's WAN IP address). Set DNS Manually First DNS Server Second DNS Server Select Set DNS Manually if you have the IP address of a DNS server. You will need to enter the first and secondary DNS server's IP address in the fields to the bottom. If you selected Set DNS Manually, enter the first and second DNS server's IP address in the box fields. WAN MAC Address The MAC address section allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using the NBG6615's MAC address, copying the MAC address from a computer on your LAN or manually entering a MAC address. Factory default Select this option to use the factory assigned default MAC Address. Clone the computer's MAC address MAC Address Set WAN MAC Address Select this option to clone the MAC address of the computer (displaying on the screen) from which you are configuring the NBG6615. Once it is successfully configured, the address will be copied to the rom file. It will not change unless you change the setting or upload a different ROM file. Select this option and enter the MAC address you want to use. Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG6615. Reset Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh. 7.3.3 PPPoE Connection The NBG6615 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 PPP over Ethernet 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 NBG6615 (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG6615 does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs' computers will have access. NBG6615's User's Guide 71

PPPoE Connection

The NBG6615 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

PPP over Ethernet

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 NBG6615 (rather than individual computers), the computers on

the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG6615 does that part of the task.

Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs’ computers will have access.
