              Okay i think i know where it's coming from:
              b493b8ac-0106-4857-bd28-117cb22cfe42-image.png

              i have installed a NAT on the Draytek, to get the SNMP data. and it seems that the pppoe trys to connect it to NAT as well. And correctly there is no pppoe respond.

              Any best practice ideas on how to do the communication over one physical cable properly to reach the draytek modem?

                you have 2 pppoe connection defined
                one running on mvneta2 and one running on mvneta0
                check in the gui, you have something wrong

                interface / assignement / ppp
                you probably selected 2 interfaces instead of 1

                  indeed! if i remove (just select one) on interface/port ether the NAT or the Internet is not working.

                  Any best practice ideas on how to do the communication over one physical cable properly to reach the draytek modem?

                    if you need to access the modem under Available network ports: you can assign mvneta0 as a new interface with dhcp or static ip, the modem must be configured with a different network from what you have on your lan,
                    like in my screenshot where I have a MODEM interface.

                      Thanks for your support. I had a quick try, but wasn't able to get it up and running.

                        yes, now you have an idea of what you need to do, maybe wait for someone with a Draytek that can tell you how to configure it.
