Configuring 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 AP 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.
6 To allow the DNS mode to be determined automatically, set IPV4 DNS Mode to
Auto.
To set the DNS mode manually, set IPV4 DNS Mode to Manual. Then enter the
following:
• IPv4 Primary DNS Server: The IP address of the primary Domain Name
System (DNS) server.
• IPv4 Secondary DNS Server (optional): The IP address of the secondary DNS
server.
7 Click Update Settings to save your changes.
Configuring L2TP Connection Settings
You can implement transparent bridging by using L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol)
tunneling. By tunneling traffic from an AP to a centralized data center, access
controllers with policy enforcement software can apply rules and services. In a
typical WLAN implementation, these rules include a captive portal to authenticate
users’ credentials.
