that need to be filled out with information from your ISP. You will
need to find out the following information—
• IP Address assigned by your ISP
• Subnet Mask
• ISP Gateway Address
• Protocol (either RFC 2684 Ethernet over ATM or RFC 2684
IP over ATM)
If you are using PPPoE or PPPoA, then obtain the following
information from your ISP—
• Username / Password
• MTU—Maximum Transmission Unit, it is the largest physical
packet size, measured in bytes that a network can transmit
before it must be divided into a smaller sized-packet.
• Dial On Demand (enable or disable)—this feature allows for
automatic reconnecting to your ISP if your connection is
lost.
