Specifications

Your ISP will supply the correct values for pppoe_username and pppoe_password in the dialog
above.
The PPPoE tunnel interface can now be treated exactly like a physical interface by the policies
defined in CorePlus rule sets.
There also has to be a route associated with the PPPoE tunnel to allow traffic to flow through it,
and this is automatically created in the main routing table when the tunnel is defined. If we go to
Routing > Routing Tables > Main in the navigation tree we can see this route.
If the PPPoE tunnel object is deleted, this route is also automatically deleted.
At this point, no traffic can flow through the tunnel since there is no IP rule defined that allows it.
As was done in option A above, we must define an IP rule that will allow traffic from a designated
source interface and source network (in this example, the network ge3_net and interface ge3) to
flow to the destination network all-nets and the destination interface which is the PPPoE tunnel
we have defined.
D. PPTP setup
For PPTP connections, a PPTP client tunnel interface object needs to be created. Let us assume
that the PPTP tunnel will be called wan_pptp with a remote endpoint 10.5.4.1 which has been
defined as the IP4 Address object pptp_endpoint. Go to Interfaces > PPTP/L2TP Clients in the
navigation tree and select Add > PPTP/L2TP Client. The values can now be entered into the
properties dialog and the PPTP option should be selected.
