PPPoE
Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a Layer 2 protocol which uses the
PPP (Point to Point) protocol to connect a client system to a server system over a
one to one network link. All traffic for a PPPoE connected client must go through
the PPPoE server to reach the client. A PPPoE server can therefore be used to
route, NAT, firewall, and perform QoS traffic shaping.
If a PPPoE server is used to distribute Internet access to subscribers, the Access
Point can be configured with a PPPoE username and password to authenticate with
the PPPoE server.
PPPoE is available only for the IPv4 connection type; PPPoE is not supported in
IPv6 environments.
1 Go to Configuration > Internet.
2 Under IPv4 Connection Type, select PPPoE.
3 Enter a PPPoE Username.
4 Enter a PPPoE Password.
5 Retype the password in PPPoE Password Confirmation.
