3EC 36231 ABAA TCZZA Ed. 01

The 'Connection Sharing' field allows you to configure which LAN

members, besides the PC that opened the PPP session, can use the

PPP entry.

Three options are available:

 Only Me

Only frames of the PC that opened the PPP session will be

routed via this PPP entry.

Suppose you opened a PPP session to your corporate and

other LAN members are surfing the Internet.

Via this option you can prevent them from using the PPP entry

to your corporate as their gateway to the Internet.

 Everybody

All PC(s) on the local LAN can forward frames over this PPP

entry. This option is the exact opposite to 'Only me'.

If you open a PPP session to the Internet, other LAN members

can share the PPP entry. In this way they are not required to

open a session themselves.

 My net only

Only PC(s) sharing the same network and subnet number as

the PC that opened the outbound PPP session can use the PPP

entry.

The following table lists the used classful netmasks, related to the

three possible options:

Connection Sharing value Related Source Subnet Mask Notation

Only Me 255.255.255.255 /32

Everybody 0.0.0.0 /0

My net Only This value depends on the

subnet mask in use by the PC

that opened the PPP session.
