Configuring the external interface for PPPoE
Use the following procedure to configure the external interface to use PPPoE. This configuration is required if
your ISP uses PPPoE to assign the IP address of the external interface.
•
Go to System > Network > Interface .

For the external interface, select Modify .
• Set Addressing mode to PPPoE and select OK to change to PPPoE mode.
•
Enter your PPPoE account User Name and Password.

The DFL-500 NPG attempts to contact the PPPoE server to set the external IP address, netmask,
and default gateway IP address. When the DFL-500 NPG gets this information from the PPPoE
server, the new addresses and netmask are displayed in the external IP address, netmask, and
default gateway IP address fields. If the PPPoE connection with your ISP is dropped, the DFL-500
NPG automatically attempts to re-establish the connection.
• Select Enable Connect to PPPoE server if you want the DFL-500 NPG to automatically connect to a
PPPoE server when it starts up.
