6.3 Technical Reference

The following section contains additional technical information about the Zyxel Device features

described in this chapter.

Encapsulation

Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The Zyxel Device can work in bridge

mode or routing mode. When the Zyxel Device is in routing mode, it supports the following methods.

IP over Ethernet

IP over Ethernet (IPoE) is an alternative to PPPoE. IP packets are being delivered across an Ethernet

network, without using PPP encapsulation. They are routed between the Ethernet interface and the

WAN interface and then formatted so that they can be understood in a bridged environment. For

instance, it encapsulates routed Ethernet frames into bridged Ethernet cells.

PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) provides access control and billing functionality in a

manner similar to dial-up services using PPP. PPPoE is an IETF standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a

personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection.

For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing

access control systems (for example RADIUS).

LABEL DESCRIPTION

General Click this switch to enable or disable the interface. When the switch goes to the right , the

function is enabled. Otherwise, it is not.

Name Enter a service name of the connection.

Type This field shows GPON and indicates a broadband connection to a PON (Passive Optical Network).

Mode Select Bridge when your ISP provides you more than one IP address and you want the connected

computers to get individual IP address from ISP’s DHCP server directly. If you select Bridge, you

cannot use routing functions, such as QoS, Firewall, DHCP server and NAT on traffic from the

selected LAN port(s).

VLAN Click this switch to enable or disable VLAN on this WAN interface. When the switch goes to the right

, the function is enabled. Otherwise, it is not.

802.1p IEEE 802.1p defines up to 8 separate traffic types by inserting a tag into a MAC-layer frame that

contains bits to define class of service.

Select the IEEE 802.1p priority level (from 0 to 7) to add to traffic through this connection. The greater

the number, the higher the priority level.

802.1q Type the VLAN ID number (from 0 to 4094) for traffic through this connection.
