Chapter 3 Connection Wizard 3.3.2 Connection 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 NBG6616 (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG6616 does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access. Figure 10 Internet Connection Type: PPPoE The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 8 Internet Connection Type: PPPoE LABEL DESCRIPTION Internet Connection Type Select the PPPoE option for a dial-up connection.
