PPPoE encapsulation
The Business Secure Router supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over
Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF Draft standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a
personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (DSL, cable, wireless,
etc.) connection. The PPPoE option is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that
works with existing access control systems (for example Radius). PPPoE provides
a login and authentication method that the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking
software can activate, and therefore requires no new learning or procedures for
Windows users.
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple
network services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the
service provider to easily create and offer new IP services for individuals.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier,
as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer
site.
Table 17 WAN: Route
Label Description
WAN
Traffic Redirect
Dial Backup
The default WAN connection is 1 as your broadband connection
through the WAN port must always be your preferred method of
accessing the WAN. The default priority of the routes is WAN, Traffic
Redirect and then Dial Backup (dial backup does not apply to all
models).
You have two choices for an auxiliary connection in the event that your
regular WAN connection goes down. If Dial Backup is preferred to
Traffic Redirect, then type 14 in the Dial Backup Priority (metric)
field (and leave the Traffic Redirect Priority (metric) at the default of
15).
