11.2.2. Editing A Logical Interface (PPPoE)
Figure 11.3. 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.
