PPTP Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that makes secure
transfer of data from a remote client to a private server possible by creating a
Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP based networks.
PPTP supports on-demand, multiprotocol and virtual private networking over
public networks, such as the Internet.
The screen shown in Figure 25is for PPTP encapsulation.
Table 19 PPPoE Encapsulation
Label Description
Encapsulation The PPPoE choice is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE. The
router supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet).
PPPoE is an IETF Draft standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a
personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (for
example, DSL, cable, or wireless) connection. Operationally, PPPoE
saves significant effort for both the end user and ISP or carrier, as it
requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the
customer site. By implementing PPPoE directly on the router rather
than individual computers, the computers on the LAN do not need
PPPoE software installed, since the router does that part of the task.
Further, with NAT, all of the computers on the LAN have access.
Service Name Type the PPPoE service name provided to you. PPPoE uses a
service name to identify and reach the PPPoE server.
User Name Type the username given to you by your ISP.
Password Type the password associated with the username.
