      Hi.

      Running 2.3.2, have a multiwan setup.
      LAN
      WAN
      WAN2

      Now i changed my WAN2 proveder. The new provider gives me the internet via PPPoE. I set this up without any problems, but now i odered a second IP adress, and the provider gave me a second PPPoE login, so how to set up the second PPPoE connection this is physically on the same interface?

      I added a next interface OPT2, added an PPPoE connection on it but it never shows as UP on the control panel and it breakes the first PPPoE connection too. Any ideas?

        I need this too! This is pretty standard nowadays even for cheap CPE routers.

          So you want one WAN connected to your pppoe modem, and you want to run more than one pppoe session on the same interface?

          Are the pppoe sessions all from the same ISP or from different ISPs?

          you should be able to add multiple new interfaces and bind them all to the interface which is WAN (lets say vmx0).

          Then you configure the pppoe on the new interfaces.

            I know a couple months have passed, but I've investigated a bit more into the issue and it seems to me that this results in only one of the PPPs actually going up, with the others staying down.
            It would be cool if devs could ack or tell us what we're doing wrong, this is really important to me!
