Click Edit to edit the selected PPPoE instance.
Click Delete to delete the selected PPPoE instances.
Click Connect to connect to the selected PPPoE instance.
Click Disconnect to disconnect the connection to the PPPoE instance.
Click Refresh to refresh the PPPoE instance table.

Options in the PPPoE Configuration dialog:

Option	Description
PPPoE Name	Specifies a name for the PPPoE instance.
Interface	Select an interface from the drop-down list.
Username	Specifies a username.
Password	Specifies the corresponding password.
Confirm Password	Enter the password again to make confirmation.
Idle Interval	Automatic connection. If the PPPoE interface has been idling (no traffic) for a certain period, i.e., the specified idle interval, the system will disconnect the Internet connection; if the interface requires Internet access, the system will connect to Internet automatically. The value range is 0 to 10000 minutes. The default value is 30.
Re-connect Interval	If the PPPoE connection has been disconnected due to any reasons for a certain period, i.e., the specified re-connect interval, the system will try to re-connect automatically. The value range is 0 to 10000 seconds. The default value is 0, which means the function is disabled.
Access Concentrator	Specifies a name for the concentrator.
Authentication	Hillstone devices will have to pass PPPoE authentication when trying to connect to a PPPoE server. The supported authentication methods include CHAP, PAP and Any (the default, anyone between CHAP and PAP). To configure a PPPoE authentication method, click the authentication you want to select. The configured authentication must be the same with that configured in the PPPoE server.
Netmask	Specifies a netmask for the IP address obtained via PPPoE.
Distance	Specifies a route distance. The value range is 1 to 255. The default value is 1.
Weight	Specifies a route weight. The value range is 1 to 255. The default value is 1.
