5.6 Technical Reference
The following section contains additional technical information about the P-870HN-
51D features described in this chapter.
Encapsulation
Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The P-870HN-51D
can work in bridge mode or routing mode. When the P-870HN-51D is in routing
mode, it supports the following methods.
IP over Ethernet
IP over Ethernet (IPoE) is an alternative to PPPoE. IP packets are being delivered
across an Ethernet network, without using PPP encapsulation. They are routed
between the Ethernet interface and the WAN interface and then formatted so that
they can be understood in a bridged environment. For instance, it encapsulates
routed Ethernet frames into bridged Ethernet cells.
