P-2002 Series User's Guide 4.1.3 PPPoE Encapsulation Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) draft 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. For more information on PPPoE, see Appendix D on page 131. 4.2 Configuring Ethernet Click ETHERNET in the navigation panel to display the ETHERNET screen. Use the ETHERNET Ethernet screen to configure the Prestige's Ethernet interfaces with Internet account information from your ISP. Your ISP may have already configured some of the fields for you. You can manage the Prestige through the Ethernet IP address, but you may not always know the Prestige's IP address (especially if the IP address is dynamic). Use the Mgnt Port screen (see Figure 13 on page 44) to configure a static IP address that you use to access the Prestige for management. 42 Chapter 4 Ethernet Screens

PPPoE Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an
IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) draft 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.

Configuring Ethernet
Click
ETHERNET
in the navigation panel to display the
ETHERNET
screen. Use the
ETHERNET
Ethernet
screen to configure the Prestige’s Ethernet interfaces with Internet
account information from your ISP. Your ISP may have already configured some of the fields
for you.
You can manage the Prestige through the Ethernet IP address, but you may not always know
the Prestige’s IP address (especially if the IP address is dynamic). Use the
Mgnt Port
screen
(see
Figure 13 on page 44
) to configure a static IP address that you use to access the Prestige
for management.
