9.4.9 Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) relies on two widely accepted stand-
ards, PPP and Ethernet. PPPoE enables your home network PCs that communi-
cate on an Ethernet network to exchange information with PCs on the Internet.
PPPoE supports the protocol layers and authentication widely used in PPP and en-
ables 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.
9.4.9.1 Creation with the Connection Wizard
To create a new PPPoE connection, perform the following steps:
1. Click the 'New Connection' link in the 'Network Connections' screen (see Figure
9-11). The 'Connection Wizard' screen appears (see Figure 9-12).
2. Select the 'Advanced Connection' radio button and click 'Next'. The 'Advanced
Connection' screen appears (see Figure 9-15).
3. Select the ‗Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)‘ radio button and click
Next. The 'Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet' screen will appear.
4. Select WAN Ethernet as underlying device and click Next.
