Installing the Firebox® X Edge
26 WatchGuard Firebox X Edge
5 Type the PPPoE login name and domain as well as the PPPoE
password supplied by your service provide in the applicable
fields.
6 Type the time delay before inactive TCP connections are
disconnected.
7 If appropriate, select the Automatically restore lost
connections checkbox.
This option keeps a constant traffic flow between the Edge and the
PPPoE server. Thus the Edge keeps the PPPoE connection open during a
period of frequent packet loss. If the traffic flow stops, the Edge reboots,
which frequently activates the connection. The ISP sees this constant
traffic flow as a continuous connection. The ISP rules and billing policy
control if you can use this option.
8 Select the Enable PPPoE debug trace checkbox to activate
PPPoE debug trace.
This can assist WatchGuard Technical Support in troubleshooting PPPoE
problems.
9 Click Submit.
