Chapter 2 Configuring the Device
WebUI
Network > Interfaces > Edit (for the adsl1 interface): Enter the following, and

PPPoE or PPPoA
The NetScreen device includes both PPPoE and PPPoA clients to connect to the service
provider's network over the ADSL link. PPPoE is the most common form of ADSL
encapsulation and is intended for termination on each host on your network. PPPoA is
used primarily for business class service as PPP sessions can be terminated on the
NetScreen device. To allow the NetScreen device to connect to the service provider's
network, you need to configure the user name and password assigned by the service
provider. The configuration for PPPoA is similar to the configuration for PPPoE.
Note: The NetScreen device supports only one PPPoE session on each virtual circuit.
To configure the user name "roswell" and password "area51" for PPPoE and bind the
PPPoE configuration to the adsl1 interface:
WebUI
Network > PPPoE > New: Enter the following, and then click OK:
PPPoE Instance: poe1
Bound to Interface: adsl1 (select)
Username: roswell
Password: area51
CLI
set pppoe name poe1 username roswell password area51
set pppoe name poe1 interface adsl1
save
There are other PPPoE or PPPoA parameters that you can configure on the NetScreen
device, including method of authentication (by default, the NetScreen device supports
either Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol or Password Authentication
Protocol), idle timeout (default is 30 minutes), and so on. Ask your service provider if
there are additional PPPoE or PPPoA parameters that you need to configure to enable
proper communications with the service provider's server.
