Chapter 4 Using Network Connections
WAN PPPoE/WAN PPPoE 2
WAN Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) relies on two widely accepted
standards: Point-to-Point Protocol and Ethernet. PPPoE enables Ethernet net-
worked computers to exchange information with computers on the Internet. PPPoE
supports the protocol layers and authentication widely used in PPP and enables
a point-to-point connection to be established in the normally multipoint archi-
tecture of Ethernet. A discovery process in PPPoE determines the Ethernet MAC
address of the remote device in order to establish a session.
Click WAN PPPoE in the Network Connections screen to generate the “WAN
PPPoE Properties” screen. This screen displays a list of the connection’s proper-
ties. The only modifications that can be made from this screen are disabling the
connection (by clicking Disable) or renaming the connection (by entering a new
name in the “Name” text box).
