ACCESS GATEWAY
90 System Administration
6. Make a selection for Network Configuration Method. This determines how the Access
Gateway receives its IP address to work on the network.
 If the Access Gateway receives its IP address from a DHCP Server, select DHCP.
Nothing else needs to be configured.
 If the Access Gateway receives a static IP address, enter the static IP address, Subnet
Mask, and Gateway in the
Static Configuration Parameters box.
 If the Access Gateway receives its IP address from a PPPoE Server, select the
Configure PPPoE Client link and enter the following parameters:
 PPPoE Service Name - This is the Service-Name TAG. The maximum
allowed length is 31 characters.
 PPP Keep Alive
• Echo Request Interval in seconds - Setting this to 0 will disable
echo requests from the NSE. The default value for this parameter is
30 seconds.
•
Maximum Missed Responses allowed - This is the number of
echo-requests that can be allowed to go without a response before
the NSE determines that the PPP link is down. This parameter can
only set to whole number above 0.
 PPP Authentication
• Username - This is the username for PPP based authentication
required by your service provider.
•
Password - This is the password for PPP based authentication
required by your service provider. Max length for both username
and password is 128 characters.
 IP Configuration Mode - This defines the IP address configuration mode for
the NSE. Setting this to Dynamic will obtain a dynamic IP address from PPPoE
server similar to DHCP client. Setting this to static will require manually
configuring IP address in the text box.
 Maximum TCP MSS - Please note that this is the MSS not MTU. The
maximum value suggested by the RFC
is 1452.
7. Enter a valid subscriber IP address in the Subscriber IP Address field.
All IP addresses must be established, otherwise the Access Gateway will not be
“visible” on the network.
