3.3.4. PPPoE
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a tunneling protocol used for connecting multiple
users on an Ethernet network to the Internet through a common serial interface, such as a single
DSL line, wireless device or cable modem. All the users on the Ethernet share a common
connection, while access control can be done on a per-user basis.
Internet server providers (ISPs) often require customers to connect through PPPoE to their
broadband service. Using PPPoE the ISP can:
•
Implement security and access-control using username/password authentication
•
Trace IP addresses to a specific user
•
Allocate IP address automatically for PC users (similar to DHCP). IP address provisioning can
be per user group
The PPP Protocol
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), is a protocol for communication between two computers using a
serial interface, such as the case of a personal computer connected through a switched telephone line
to an ISP.
In terms of the layered OSI model, PPP provides a layer 2 encapsulation mechanism to allow
packets of any protocol to travel through IP networks. PPP uses Link Control Protocol (LCP) for
link establishment, configuration and testing. Once the LCP is initialized, one or several Network
Control Protocols (NCPs) can be used to transport traffic for a particular protocol suite, so that
multiple protocols can interoperate on the same link, for example, both IP and IPX traffic can share
a PPP link.
PPP Authentication
PPP authentication is optional with PPP. Authentication protocols supported are Password
Authentication Protocol (PAP), Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) and
Microsoft CHAP (version 1 and 2). If authentication is used, at least one of the peers has to
authenticate itself before the network layer protocol parameters can be negotiated using NCP.
During the LCP and NCP negotiation, optional parameters such as encryption, can be negotiated.
PPPoE Client Configuration
Since the PPPoE protocol allows PPP to operate over Ethernet, the firewall needs to use one of the
normal physical Ethernet interfaces to run PPPoE over.
Each PPPoE tunnel is interpreted as a logical interface by NetDefendOS, with the same routing and
configuration capabilities as regular interfaces and with IP rules being applied to all traffic. Network
traffic arriving at the firewall through the PPPoE tunnel will have the PPPoE tunnel interface as its
