Understanding
DSL Router
configurations
Your DSL Router can be configured in several ways. Consult your Internet Service
Provider for the configuration that best suits you.
You need to configure your DSL Router just once, unless your Internet Service
Provider changes the configuration settings.
Your DSL Router supports the following configurations:
❑
PPPoA LLC/PPPoA VC-Mux/PPPoE LLC — this requires a User ID and Password for
authentication. For PPPoA LLC and PPPoA VC-Mux connections, your Internet Service
Provider will provide you with the necessary information. For PPPoE LLC connections,
encapsulation operates at the IP layer and only IP packets are routed. See "PPPoA/PPPoE
Configuration" on page 4-3.
❑ RFC 1483 Bridged IP — the Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned by your Internet
Service Provider is used. See "RFC 1483 Routed" on page 4-6.
❑ RFC 1483 Routed IP — a higher layer of the networking protocols (layer 3) is used to
send and receive data. See "RFC 1483 Routed" on page 4-6.
