PPPoE Encapsulation
The NBG-419N supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF standard
(RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (DSL,
cable, wireless, etc.) connection. The
PPP over Ethernet
option is for a dial-up connection using
PPPoE.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing
access control systems (for example Radius).
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network services, a
function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and
offer new IP services for individuals.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires no
specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG-419N (rather than individual computers), the
computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG-419N does that part of
the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs’ computers will have access.
First DNS Server

Server
Select
From ISP
if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and
the NBG-419N's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-only)
DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.

if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not
configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to
access it.
WAN MAC Address
The MAC address section allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address
by either using the NBG-419N’s MAC address, copying the MAC address from a
computer on your LAN or manually entering a MAC address.

PPTP Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of data
from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-
based networks.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public networks, such
as the Internet.
