MULTIPLE PPPOE SETTINGS
If you have selected PPPoE with Multiple PPPoE type at the ISP Settings page, you will see the
Multiple PPPoE settings page where you can add more PPPoE sessions.
For each PPPoE session, you have to assign a mnemonic name and configure similar settings as in the
primary session. In addition, you can configure LAN Type and Traffic Pattern in order to use an added
session.
LAN Type: If you enable LAN Type, you can have another subnet on your LAN environment.
Some ISP provides Group Access function that gives you a subnet to assign on your LAN
environment, and ISP will make all such subnets belonging to the same Group connected
together. A PC on such subnets can reach other PCs on the Internet within the same Group
through the session configured without NAT; it also can do the normal Internet access through
the primary PPPoE session.
Traffic Pattern: You have to configure traffic pattern(s) in order to use PPPoE sessions other
than the primary session. Any outgoing packet matching one of the traffic pattern configured will
be sent out using the corresponding PPPoE session. There are four types of traffic patterns that
you can use. After you checked a traffic pattern and clicked the APPLY button you have to
configure the details by selecting the item in the Session Table and click the EDIT TRAFFIC
PATTERN button.
IP Address Range/Network
: Packets with destination IP address within the range or network
configured are matched.
Port Range: TCP/UDP packets with the source or destination port in the configured range are
matched.
Keyword: IP packets with a payload containing a string matching the configured keyword are
matched.
NetBIOS: NetBIOS packets are matched.
Multiple PPPoE usage can be well illustrated by the following diagram.
