A. PIX Firewall software version 6.2 supports Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). The support for L2TP/PPTP/PPPoE has been removed from the PIX Firewall software version 7.0 and later. (PPPoE provides a standard method for using PPP authentication over an Ethernet network and is used by many Internet service providers (ISPs) to grant client machines access to their networks, commonly through DSL.) PPPoE is supported on the outside interfaces of the Cisco PIX 500 Series Security Appliance.
