Create PPPoE interface

The wizard is called up with the PPPoE/VDSL button, both for connection to a modem and for connection to a fiber optic connection.

Name and Interface Step 1 - Name and Interface
Caption	Value	Description	Add interface UTMuser@firewall.name.fqdnNetworkNetwork configuration PPPoE wizard step 1
Name:	wan0	The prefix wanx should be kept at all costs. The prefix wan is used to identify this interface as a WAN interface and, possibly, displayed or hidden in selection menus.
Interface:	A0	The physical interface to which the PPPoE interface is to be bound.
PPPoE for VDSL/fiber:	Off	On Must be enabled to specify a VLAN ID for VDSL or fiber connections.
VLAN ID: Only with VDSL/fiber optics	7	The VLAN ID is usually specified by the network operator

User name:	abcde	Access data issued by the provider	PPPoE wizard step 2
Password:	•••••••••
		Displays the password in plain text

Zones Step 3 - Zones
Zones:	» ✕external » ✕firewall-external » ✕external_v6 etc.	The wizard automatically takes over all zones of the physical interface. The zones are no longer needed there. The physical interface (here: A0) is only used for communication between the firewall and the modem. However, it is possible to manually select previously created zones in the click box and remove existing ones.	PPPoE wizard step 3 (zones)
Add new zone	No	Automatically adds a new zone and associates it with the WAN interface. The associated zone for the interface itself (firewall-) is automatically generated and does not need to be specified.
	dmz3	if necessary: Name for the new zone
Generate rules:	No	Creates autogenerated rules to facilitate commissioning. These rules cannot be changed and must be replaced by individual rules in any case.
Update associated network objects: notempty new as of v12.6.0	on	If an existing zone has been selected, all network objects that are already in this zone and have an interface as a target are moved to the new interface.
Complete the wizard with Finish
As soon as the status in the network overview changes to green and a public IP address is output in the IP addresses field of the PPPoE interface, the connection to the provider has been successfully established.
