LABEL DESCRIPTION
Select WAN
service type
Select the method of encapsulation used by your ISP.
Choices are PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), IP over Ethernet and
Bridging:
• PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) - PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over
Ethernet) provides access control and billing functionality in a
manner similar to dial-up services using PPP. Select this if you have a
username and password for Internet access.
• IP over Ethernet - In this type of Internet connection, IP packets
are routed between the Ethernet interface and the WAN interface and
then formatted so that they can be understood in a bridged
environment.
• Bridging - With bridging the ZyXEL Device has a static IP address for
the connection. The ZyXEL Device passes traffic through to another
device (a computer or router for example) that handles
authenticating with the ISP.
Note: This field does not show for a PPPoA or IPoA service type.
