PPPoE Service
Name

This field is not available for a PPPoA connection.
Authentication
Method
The Router supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol). CHAP is more secure than PAP; however, PAP
is readily available on more platforms.
Use the drop-down list box to select an authentication protocol for outgoing calls.
Options are:
AUTO - Your Router accepts either CHAP or PAP when requested by this remote
node.
PAP - Your Router accepts PAP only.
CHAP - Your Router accepts CHAP only.
MSCHAP - Your Router accepts MSCHAP only. MS-CHAP is the Microsoft version of
the CHAP.
Enable NAT Select this check box to activate NAT on this connection.
Enable Fullcone
NAT
This field is available only when you select Enable NAT. Select this check box to
activate full cone NAT on this connection.
PPP IP extension Select this only if your service provider requires it. PPP IP extension extends the
service provider’s IP subnet to a single LAN computer.
It lets only one computer on the LAN connect to the WAN.
The public IP address from the ISP is forwarded through DHCP to the LAN
computer instead of being used on the WAN PPP interface.
It disables NAT and the firewall.
DHCP tells the LAN computer to use the gateway as the default gateway and
DNS server.
The Router bridges IP packets between the WAN and LAN ports except packets
destined for the Router’s LAN IP address.
Use Static IPv4
Address
Select this option if you have a fixed IPv4 address assigned by your ISP.
IPv4 Address Enter the IPv4 address assigned by your ISP.
WAN Interface
Identifier Type
Select Random to have the Device randomly configure a WAN Identifier, which is
shown in the WAN Interface Identifier field.
Select EUI-64 to use the EUI-64 format to generate an interface ID from the MAC
address of the WAN interface.
Select Manual to manually enter a WAN Identifier as the interface ID to identify the
WAN interface. The WAN Identifier is appended to the IPv6 address prefix to create
the routable global IPv6 address.
