Editing A Logical Interface (PPPoE)
Figure 82: Edit Logical Interface (PPPoE)
This menu allows you to display and configure logical interface fields for PPPoE and
to convert the interface to Bridged Mode.
By default, interfaces are created with PPPoE. If you want the interface to be Bridged
Mode, click on the Convert this interface to bridged link.
The Description field attaches a description to the logical interface viewable from the
network interfaces menu.
The VPI field determines the VPI number the connection uses. The default of 0 is
correct for most providers. The VCI field determines the VCI number the connection
uses. The default of 35 is correct for most providers.
The Attempt ATM Autoconfiguration option causes the router to attempt to
automatically determine the VPI and VCI used on the connection. This does not work
with all providers and may case the connection to fail even if the link light is on. If
this option is used it should only be used to find out what the correct values are if your
provider isn't willing to help you, and when the correct values are found it should be
disabled with the correct values entered in the VPI and VCI fields instead.
The PPPoE Username field determines the username to use when connecting to the
PPPoE server as specified by your provider.
The Password field determines the password provided to the PPPoE server.
The Default Route checkbox enables automatically setting a default route using this
interface whenever it connects. If this is your primary connection you probably want
this option enabled.
The Use peer DNS checkbox enables automatically setting the DNS server entries
that the PPPoE server recommends. Enable this option unless you provide your own
name servers.
The MTU field defines the MTU size to request when connecting to the PPPoE
server. In some cases the PPPoE provider may provide a smaller MTU in which case
the smaller setting will be used, or it may refuse to alter the MTU and use whatever it
considers to be the default.
Note: If the negotiated MTU is different from the requested MTU, a warning will be
displayed on the Networking, ADSL menu.
