The Configuration Information field screen displays the following:
4. Refer to the Connection Status field.
The Connection Status table lists the MAC address, SID, Service information MTU and
status of each route destination peer. To provide this point-to-point connection, each
PPPoE session learns the Ethernet address of a remote PPPoE client, and establishes a
session. PPPoE uses both a discover and session phase to identify a client and establish a
point-to-point connection. By using such a connection, a Wireless WAN failover is available
to maintain seamless network access if the Access Point’s Wired WAN were to fail.

OSPF
Access Point Statistics
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link-state interior gateway protocol (IGP). OSPF routes IP
packets within a single routing domain (autonomous system), like an enterprise LAN. OSPF gathers
link state information from neighbor routers and constructs a network topology. The topology
determines the routing table presented to the Internet Layer which makes routing decisions based
solely on the destination IP address found in IP packets.
Refer to the following for detailed descriptions of the tabs available within the OSPF statistics
screen:
• OSPF Summary
• OSPF Neighbors
• OSPF Area Details
• OSPF Route Statistics
• OSPF Route Statistics
• OSPF State
Shutdown Displays whether a high speed client mode point-to-point connection has been enabled using the PPPoE
protocol.
Service Lists the 128 character maximum PPPoE client service name provided by the service provider.
DSL Modem Network
(VLAN) Displays the PPPoE VLAN (client local network) connected to the DSL modem. This is the local network
connected to DSL modem.
Authentication Type Lists authentication type used by the PPPoE client whose credentials must be shared by its peer Access
Point. Supported authentication options include None, PAP, CHAP, MSCHAP, and MSCHAP-v2.
Username Displays the 64 character maximum username used for authentication support by the PPPoE client.
Password Displays the 64 character maximum password used for authentication by the PPPoE client.
Client Idle Timeout The Access Point uses the listed timeout so it does not sit idle waiting for input from the PPPoE client
and the server, that may never come.
Keep Alive If a keep alive is utilized, the point-to-point connect to the PPPoE client is continuously maintained and
not timed out.
Maximum
Transmission Unit
(MTU) Displays the PPPoE client maximum transmission unit (MTU) from 500 - 1,492. The MTU is the largest
physical packet size in bytes a network can transmit. Any messages larger than the MTU are divided into
smaller packets before being sent. A PPPoE client should be able to maintain its point-to-point
connection for this defined MTU size.
