Task Remarks

IP Config

Configure the way the dialer interface gets its IP address:

• None—Does not configure IP address.

• Static Address—Statically configures an IP address and subnet mask for the

interface.

• PPP Negotiate—Gets an IP address through PPP negotiation.

• Unnumbered—Borrows the IP address of another interface on the same device.

IP Address

Configure an IP address and subnet mask for the dialer interface.

If you select Static Address to configure a static IP address for the dialer interface,

you must configure both items.

Mask

Unnumbered Interface

Interfaces on the same device whose IP addresses are borrowed.

If you select IP address borrowing for the dialer interface, you need to configure this

item.

Bundled Interface

Configure the interfaces bound to the PPPoE client.

Session Type

Set the session type of the PPPoE client:

• Always Online—When the physical link is up, the device immediately initiates a

PPPoE call to establish a PPPoE session. The PPPoE session continues to exist until

you delete it.

• Not Always Online—When the physical link is up, the device does not initiate a

PPPoE call unless there is data to be transmitted on the link. When the PPPoE link

stays in the idle state longer than the timeout timer set by the user, the device

terminates the current PPPoE session automatically. When you select the

non-permanent connection mode, you need to set an idle-timeout timer.

Idle Time

Set an idle-timeout timer for the PPPoE link.

This item is required when you set the session type to Not Always Online.
