VSG-1200 V2 User's Guide For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access control systems (for instance, 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 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 VSG (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the VSG does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access. Figure 23 System Settings: WAN/LAN: PPPoE The following table describes the related fields in this screen.
