      Hi,

      I want replace a Endian Firewall with Pfsense

      I have a VDSL Line with 8 ip    VTX (ISP) assign to the modem (Zyxel 2802 in Bridge-Mode) 212.x.45.166 and 212.x 46.83-94 are the used IP's = no ip is will be assigned (sometimes the icon of Interface is green but no IP adress is viewed in the Dashboard
      I have also a second VDSL with 1 fixed IP (other Zyxel 2802 in Bridge) =this runs without problems in Pfsense

      I also have a VDSL Line at home with 1 fixed IP from VTX with no problem.

      How must I configure PPPoE with multi IP?

      Scenario

          yes I have read this

          but is a pppoe mit mutiple IP's a MLPPP Configuration?
          Should I configure for each IP a PPPoe connection?

          in Endian I configure 1 pppoe per vdsl öline and assign the ip's ….

          I think that the pppeo connection on the 8IP doesnt work

          Internet -> Modem (Bridge) ->[WAN-Interface (PPPoE) 8IP->    PFsense1  -> LAN-Interface 192.168.1.1] -> Webserver1 (int:192.168.1.10)
                                                                                                                                                        -> Webserver2 (int:192.168.1.11)
          Internet2-> Modem2 (Bridge) ->[WAN2-Interface (PPPoE 1IP -> PFsense1 -> LAN-Interface 192.168.1.1] ->  Webserver3 (int: 192.168.1.13)

            I don't have pppoe environment by myself so i can't walk you throuh.
            Can you with virtualIP's first and if it doesn't work straight then you might need more pppoe connections

                I think virtual IP work only when the ppp connection is up … but that is the problem .. it don't come up (Icon in Dashboard is green but Log say no!)

                  You need to use virtual IPs but keep just a single pppoe connection I believe.
                  There are quite a few posts about this.
                  An old post (2007!) but outlines the basics: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,5253.0.html

                    I read this article and add all IP to ARP in virtual IP
                    still the same
                    ppp log says LCP down an no Gatway is assigned

                      Hmm, I'm a bit confused, your ascii diagram is a bit mangled on my 1024*768 display.

                      So you have two pppoe connections on this box?
                      One 'GREEN' which is working OK and the other, VTX1, is not connecting, yes?

                      I think you should remove all the virtual interfaces and try to get it connected with one IP first.

                        Sorry about the "confusion"

                        Yes "Green" is working … this is the 1 fixed IP line

                        VTX1 doesn't work (the 8 IP line).. the problem from VTX1 is it don't goes "up" fully ... it doesn't receive a IP
                        it also doesn't go up with 1 single IP when I only setup pppoe without GREEN and without virtual IP

                        at home I have from the same ISP like VTX1 a 1 fixed IP line with pfsense 2.0.1 without problems

                          So what is different?
                          Possibly with one IP they send it to you via DHCP but with a group of IPs they are routing to you or you are required to set the IP statically.
                          This could be a question for your ISP.
                          Presumably it worked OK in Endian?

                            In Endian it works well… I haven't defined all 8 IP's because I dont use it
