How to Configure a PPPoE WAN Interface via the Site Wizard

  • Last updated on

The Barracuda SecureEdge Manager allows you to configure a PPPoE WAN connection setup for a new site during initial deployment via the new site setup wizard.  You can also edit or configure the PPPoE WAN interface later through the Sites tab.

  • Note that for sites and Private Edge Services, you cannot configure more then four PPPoE WAN interfaces.
  • You can also directly provision PPPoE connections via a USB stick through the static bootstrap configuration file.
