How to configure P-Series router for PPPoE (ppp over ethernet) for DSL connection.
Solution: The PPPoE feature only needs to use the existing LAN port on any model of the P-Series router (except P1705). Note that the WAN interfaces/modules are not used with PPPoE. The following PPPOE configuration example is using a single LAN interface on the P-Series router. Configure only the following options. Assume the rest to be factory default settings. IP set-up menu Press the TAB key 3 times. Connections set-up menu Primary connection [Leased] Press the TAB key. Press the TAB key. NAT enabled [enabled] Press the TAB key 2 times. Security parameters menu Press the = key to return to the main menu. Configuration menu Press the = key to return to the main menu. Save configuration
Connect the DSL modem's LAN port to the ethernet HUB. Note: DSL modems have a crossover (mdi-x) LAN port. Make sure to use a crossover LAN cable to connect to the HUB's mdi port, or use a straight through LAN cable and connect it to the HUB's mdi-x port.
Connect the P-Series router's mdi LAN port to the HUB's mdi port using a straight through LAN cable.
Connect all PC Clients to the HUB's mdi ports using a straight through LAN cable.
Note: For all PC Clients, configure the gateway IP address. The gateway address will be the P-Series router LAN IP address or you can the DHCP Server feature in the P-Series router in order to assign dynamic IP addresses to your PC Clients.
From the main menu, select the following menus and selections:
Configuration menu
Interfaces set-up menu
