4.5.4 Quickstart
PPPoE is also known as RFC 2516. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets over
Ethernet. PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a method of establishing a network
connection/session between network hosts. It provides a mechanism of authenticating
users.
To configure the router for PPPoE, click on Advanced. Under WAN, select New
Connection. The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed. At the Type field select
PPPoE and the PPPoE connection setup page is displayed. Give your PPPoE connection a
unique name; the name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. In this case
the unique name is called “quickstart”. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you
are connecting to the Telkom ADSL network, then use LLC. Select the VPI and VCI
settings use 8 and 35 for the Telkom network. Also select the quality of service (QoS);
leave the default value if you are unsure. See Figure 4-18
Following is a description of the different options:
1. Username: The username for the PPPoE access; this is provided by
Telkom or your ISP.
2. Password: The password for the PPPoE access; this is provided by
Telkom or your ISP.
3. On-Demand: Enables on-demand mode. The connection will
disconnect if no activity is detected after the specified idle timeout
value.
4. Idle Timeout: Specifies that PPPoE connection should disconnect if
the link has no activity detected for n seconds. This field is used in
conjunction with the On-Demand feature. To ensure that the link is
always active, enter a 0 in this field.
5. Keep Alive: When on-demand option is not enable, this value specifies
the time to wait without being connected to your ISP before
terminating the connection. To ensure that the link is always active,
enter a 0 in this field.
6. Enforce MTU: Check this box if you experience problems accessing
the Internet over a PPPoE connection. This feature will force all TCP
traffic to conform with PPP MTU by changing TCP Maximum
Segment Size to PPP MTU.
7. Sharing : Set this to “Enable” if you are going to have more than one
PPPoE connection using the same PVC settings. If you are only going
to have one PPPoE connection per PVC setting, then select “Disable”
