        Hmm, I'd try running a pcap on the parent interface to see what's happening there. The logs show there's just no response at all from the remote side.

          @saswatasarkar13 said in PPPoE WAN fails to reconnect after link loss:

          Link: reconnection attempt x in y seconds

          If you can provoke this log sequence yourself ?
          If so, what happens when you remove for a moment the physical Ethernet plug from pfSense.

          If the log sequence continues after a reconnect of the Ethernet WAN plug, what happens when you unplug this Ethernet cable, and plug it into a Windows PC that you have previously set up to connect and use this PPPoE connection : does it connect right away - or does it (the Windows PC) also spins around and not connect ?

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??

                That pcap does not look to have been taken on the parent interface, I see no PPPoE traffic there so not much to see. I needs to be on the PPPoE parent so we can see if anything is coming back from the other side at all.

                  I have done it on the wan interface, Should I assign the" re0" to OPT1 or something else and then do the capture?

                    Delete you actual WAN interface.
                    Assign the available "re0" to be your WAN - and select as connection type "PPPOE".
                    See also the documentation.

                    Or
                    Assign the available "re0" to be your WAN (with IPv4 Configuration Type and IPv6 Configuration Type set to None).
                    Then goto Interfaces > Interface Assignments and select PPPs :

                      I have configured it this way (The way you suggested now) from the first config of wan.

                        My second method isn't right I guess.

                        Your re0 interface :

                        79a4a61a-a516-44a5-b7d8-5d2d9acbfe96-image.png

                        is not know as 'WAN'. That's not good ;)
                        Compare t with my image : my em0 is known as 'WAN'.

                        Fall back first to the method - the one from from the pfSense manual.

                          Nope you need to assign re0 as a separate interface, it will appear as OPT1. Then you can packet capture on that in the gui and you will see the PPPoE traffic over it.

                          Alternatively you can capture at the command line and just choose re0 without assigning it.

                            These were the settings while capturing packets.

                              Ok great you can see all the PPPoE traffic there.

                              What exactly happened during that capture?

                              The last incoming reply to your IP appears to be at 43s (6816). Then at 53s (6908) pfSense sends a PPPoE terminate request but never sees anything back. Shortly after that at 56s it starts trying to initiate a new PPPoE session but never sees a reply.

                              However some time after that there is traffic coming in for the old WAN IP using the old PPP session ID so it appears the remote side has not terminated the session and is still trying to use it.

                              After that we see some traffic arriving on re0 still but it is not PPP encapsulated so possibly other clients on the same ISP badly configured.

                              Once it's in that state does it eventually recover or do you need to do something to enable it?

                                What exactly happened during that capture?

                                I simulated an internet disconnection using the following steps:-

                                1. Started the packet capture.
                                2. Turned of my ONT (Fiber modem in bridge mode).
                                3. Truened it back on again.

                                I have to reboot the whole pfsense box. Then it gets connected automatically. But I have tried restarting the nic it does not help.

                                  So nothing else restores it?

                                  Rebooting the ONT again?

                                  Reconneting the WAN Ethernet?

                                  Disconnect/reconnect the PPPoE session in pfSense?

                                    1. I tested these before. But did these today again. Still Only rebooting works,
                                    2. No the same thing. But one thing When I dont use pfsence then the ONT on PPPoE mode does work fine.
                                    3. No It does not change anything.
                                      4.I have done it form the gui and it shows that ir is up accually it is not.

                                    When The pppoe Is connected.

                                      Hmm, what about resaving the WAN interface?

                                      That would recreate the conf files used for the connection etc.

                                        @stephenw10 unfortunately it does not. I tried it multiple times.

                                          Hmm, I wonder what changes then. You could try comparing the pppoe0 files in /tmp and the mpd conf file in /var/etc when it works and when it doesn't.

                                            @stephenw10 The only difference I can see. when disconnected and probbilly trying to reconnect Then ont /temp the only file is the there is the pppoe0_defaultgw file with the address, And when it is all the files are there pppoe0_defaultgw, pppoe0_ip, pppoe0_router, pppoe0up all have the respective ip addresses. and on the other hand the mdp conf file does not change, The file is like this.

                                            startup:
                                            # configure the console
                                            set console close
                                            # configure the web server
                                            set web close

                                            default:
                                            pppoeclient:
                                            create bundle static wan
                                            set bundle enable ipv6cp
                                            set iface name pppoe0
                                            set iface disable on-demand
                                            set iface idle 0
                                            set iface enable tcpmssfix
                                            set iface up-script /usr/local/sbin/ppp-linkup
                                            set iface down-script /usr/local/sbin/ppp-linkdown
                                            set ipcp ranges 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
                                            #log -bund -ccp -chat -iface -ipcp -lcp -link

                                            create link static wan_link0 pppoe
set link action bundle wan
set link disable multilink
set link keep-alive 10 60
set link max-redial 0
set link disable chap pap
set link accept chap pap eap
set link disable incoming
set link mtu 1492
set auth authname "XXXX"
set auth password XXXX
set pppoe service ""
set pppoe iface re0
open

                                            Should I report a bug or something?
