PPPOE modem access

[olivier1010]

Hi, would it be possible to add a field to set the local IP address subnet of the modem for PPPOE interfaces ?

Without this it is not possible to access the modem interface, this is very usefull to monitor statistics or setup advanced parameters for the DSL physical link (on some modems it is possible to setup the noise margin).

I tried to use a forum trick, adding manually another static interface on the same physical interface, with a specific NAT rule for it, but this seem to not work on 2.0 alpha alpha.

Adding a field to enter an ip address for the interface in the subnet of the modem local ip address would be really nice.

With openwrt i had to add this in the custom user startup script :

ifconfig vlan1 10.10.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
iptables -A FORWARD -d 10.10.0.254 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d 10.10.0.254 -j MASQUERADE

Thanks

Olivier.

Hi,

Try this:

In the shell or "Diagnostics / Command"

= vr0 interface connected to the modem
Ip address = 192.168.1.1 to pfsense on the same track in modem

ifconfig vr0 alias 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

Now in firewall / Rules create a rule to Lan

• 192.168.0.0/24 * 192.168.1.254 * *  - Default LAN -> Modem

Which says that any packet of any protocol from the network 192.168.0.0/24 (LAN) to the ip 192.168.1.254 (ip modem) will have access.
