How to configure pfsense as PPPoE client
-
i want to configure pfsense as PPPoE client , now i can connect only one PPPoE client at a time , how can i connect multiple PPPoE client , i have the PPPoE users and passwords from PPPoE server.
-
@ziarmal From interfaces, assignments you can create as many pppoe interfaces as needed.
-
@netblues thanks for the reply and guidelines, i created many but the problems is only one PPPoE works at at time , since i have multiple PPPoE accounts.
-
@ziarmal Please describe your use case.
pppoe is a point to point connection. You need different interface for each p2p link. -
@netblues thank so much, actually i have one PPPoE server on remote side i want to use pfsense to configure multiple PPPoE interfaces and connect to our server and link all the these PPPoE interfaces over pfsense single WAN interface.
-
@ziarmal So you do have multiple lines and cpe's right?
-
@netblues yes , i have the same scenario with mikrotik and i want to change to pfsense.
-
@ziarmal So you need different interfaces on pfsense to bind each pppoe
It can be physical ports or virtual, by using a managed switch, a trunk port and as many vlans as your connections. -
@netblues thank you so much , as im new with pfsense could you please guide with little more details.
-
@ziarmal How many interfaces do you have available?
Make it work over physical and then read about trunking and vlans -
@netblues i did the same have vlans and trunk configuration on managed switch and have vlans on pfsense as well , now the problem is at a time only one pppoe link going up the rest shows down. could you please guide me how to solve this problem.
-
@ziarmal Are the user names different?
Please post interface assignments and ppp logs. -
Now i have 7 interfaces but if it work i will increase the interfaces range to more than 400 , i have different user name for each interface, you can see the logs and interface assignment on the attached screenshots.
-
@ziarmal Remove opt1 from vtnet0
Each one of this on its own works?
And it uses different cpe?
400 connections? and then what?Post a diagram of what you are trying to do.
Start with 2-3 connections.. No more -
@netblues
thank you so much
this is my current Diagram using mikrotik , Now I want change to pfsense.
-
@ziarmal You are talking about thousands of lines.
pls describe the cpe of that. -
@netblues really appreciate your guidance, we use Huawei-OLT_Bass cpe and i dont really know about their things , they just give me multiple PPPoE users and i need to create multiple OPT1 interfaces to dail.
-
@ziarmal Yes, but how is the physical connection?
How do you reach all those cpe? -
i reach to all those CPEs using Fiber network.
