Multiple Choice

In the PPPoE client example, which interface is used?

Explanation:
PPPoE sessions are established on the WAN-facing Ethernet interface—the link to your ISP. The PPPoE client negotiates and maintains the connection over that specific interface, so you place the PPPoE client on the interface that actually faces the ISP. In this example, that uplink port is ether1, making it the interface used for the PPPoE session. The other interfaces serve internal networks or bridging (ether2, bridge1) or wireless (wlan0) and are not the WAN uplink for the PPPoE client in this setup.
