The Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a network protocol for encapsulating PPP frames inside Ethernet frames. Click Add a PPPoE to create PPPoE interface. Make sure to specify the following parameters:
|
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Enabled |
Enables an PPPoE interface. |
|
Node name |
A node in the UserGate cluster where a new PPPoE interface will be created. |
|
Interface |
An interface which will be used to create PPPoE. |
|
Zone |
A zone to which the interface PPPoE will belong |
|
MTU |
MTU size. Default value is 1492 bytes, which is standard for Ethernet. |
|
Login |
Account name for PPPoE connection. |
|
Password |
Password for PPPoE connection. |
|
Persist connection |
Reopen the connection if connection is terminated. |
|
Holdoff interval (sec.) |
Specifies how many seconds to wait before re-initiating the link after it terminates. This option only has any effect if the persist connection is activated. |
|
Default route |
Add a default route to the system routing tables, using the peer as the gateway. This entry is removed when the PPPoE connection is broken. . |
|
LCP echo interval (sec.) |
If this option is given, UserGate will send an LCP echo-request frame to the peer every n seconds. Normally the peer should respond to the echo-request by sending an echo-reply. |
|
Number of LCP echo failures |
If this option is given, UserGate will presume the peer to be dead if specified here LCP echo-requests are sent without receiving a valid LCP echo-reply. If this happens, UserGate will terminate the PPPoE connection. |
|
Use provider's DNS |
If enabled, UserGate will use DNS servers, provided by PPPoE connection. |
|
Number of connection attempts |
Stop connecting after specified here consecutive failed connection attempts. A value of 0 means no limit. |
