Prestige 304 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the Internet. For more information on PPTP, please refer to the PPTP Appendix. The P304 supports one PPTP server connection at any given time. Configure a PPTP Client To configure a PPTP client, you must configure User Name and Password fields for PPP connection and PPTP parameters for PPTP connection. 4.2.3 PPPoE Encapsulation Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an IETF Draft standard specifying how a host personal computer interacts with a broadband modem (for example, xDSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access to high-speed data networks. It preserves the existing Microsoft DialUp Networking experience and requires no new learning or procedures. For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access control systems (for example, Radius). For the user, PPPoE provides a login and authentication method that the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking software can activate, and therefore requires no new learning or procedures for Windows users. 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 end user and ISP/carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site. By implementing PPPoE directly on the Prestige (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the Prestige does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have access.

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an IETF Draft
standard specifying how a host personal computer interacts with a broadband modem (for example, xDSL,
cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access to high-speed data networks. It preserves the existing Microsoft Dial-
Up Networking experience and requires no new learning or procedures.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access
control systems (for example, Radius). For the user, PPPoE provides a login and authentication method that
the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking software can activate, and therefore requires no new learning or
procedures for Windows users.
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.
