ZyWALL USG 1000 User’s Guide

This section introduces PPPoE, PPTP, and PPPoE/PPTP interfaces and then explains the 
screens for PPPoE/PPTP interfaces.

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE, RFC 2516) and Point-to-Point Tunneling 
Protocol (PPTP, RFC 2637) are usually used to connect two computers over phone lines or 
broadband connections.

Edit static DHCP 

table

Click this if you want the ZyWALL to assign static IP addresses to computers. 

The Static DHCP screen appears.

Figure 137   Network > Interface > Edit > Edit static DHCP table

The ZyWALL checks this table when it assigns IP addresses. If the computer’s 

MAC address is in the table, the ZyWALL assigns the corresponding IP 

address. Otherwise, the ZyWALL assigns the IP address dynamically using the 

IP Pool Start Address and Pool Size.

Note: You must click OK in the Static DHCP screen and then 

click OK in this screen to save your changes.

Ping Check

The interface can regularly ping the gateway you specified to make sure it is still 

available. You specify how often the interface pings the gateway, how long to 

wait for a response before the attempt is a failure, and how many consecutive 

failures are required before the ZyWALL stops routing to the gateway. The 

ZyWALL resumes routing to the gateway the first time the gateway 

acknowledges the ping.
