Configuration

The NBG4604 offers three Internet connection types. They are

Ethernet

,

PPP

over Ethernet

or

PPTP

. The wizard attempts to detect which WAN connection

type you are using. If the wizard does not detect a connection type, you must

select one from the drop-down list box. Check with your ISP to make sure you use

the correct type.

2.4.2

PPPoE Connection

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection.

PPPoE is an IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standard specifying how a host

personal computer interacts with a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable,

wireless, etc.) to achieve access to high-speed data networks.

For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that

works with existing access control systems (for instance, RADIUS).

One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users 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 specific users.

Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP/

carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the

subscriber’s site.

By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG4604 (rather than individual

computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed,

since the NBG4604 does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the

LAN's computers will have Internet access.

Refer to the appendix for more information on PPPoE.

2.4.3

PPTP Connection

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables

transfers 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.

Refer to the appendix for more information on PPTP.

Note: The NBG4604 supports one PPTP server connection at any given time.
