Configuring the External Network
User Guide 51
5 Select the Link Speed to set automatically, or select to assign
the link speed statically at 10 Mbps Half Duplex, 10 Mbps Full
Duplex, 100 Mbps Half Duplex, or 100 Mbps Full Duplex.
WatchGuard recommends that you configure the link speed to Auto,
unless you know this setting is not compatible with the equipment
supplied by your ISP.
Advanced PPPoE Settings
In the Quick Setup Wizard you configure the basic PPPoE settings. If
necessary for your configuration, you can also configure more
advanced parameters:
Service Name
Use this field to add a service name. The Edge only starts with
access concentrators that support the specified service. This
option is not usually used. Use it only if there is more than one
access concentrator or you know that you must use a specified
service name.
Access Concentrator Name
Use this field to identify a PPPoE server, known as an access
concentrator. The Edge only starts a session with the access
concentrator you identify in this field. This option is not usually
used. Use it only if you know there is more than one access
concentrator. If you enter a Service Name and Access
Concentrator Name, you must use the same value for the Edge to
negotiate a PPPoE session.
Use Host-Uniq tag in PPPoE discovery packets
Select this option if there is more than one installation of the
same PPPoE client on the network. The can prevent interference
between the discovery packets of each client. This is not a
supported Edge feature; WatchGuard includes this option to
make the Edge compatible with ISPs which have this
requirement.
Authentication retries
This field controls the number of times the Edge tries to send
PAP authentication information to the PPPoE server. The default
value of None is sufficient for most installations. You enter a
high value to make the Edge compatible with some ISPs.
