DHCP+PPPoE on WAN interface

[Shraik]

Hello

it is possible to add in pfsense "DHCP+PPPoE on WAN interface"  ?
like this patch http://code.google.com/p/m0n0wall-mod/

dhcp+PPPoe very popular in Russia  ;D

How does it works ?

RFC1483 bridged to get DHCP working on ethernet, then PPP over this ethernet ?

It is interesting to see that you have RFC1483 bridged available in Russia. In France, nobody wants to implement this. We still have PPPoE or PPPoa for ADSL. RFC1483 is only available on SDSL links. Or we have RFC1483 routed (IPoA) by "Free" provider.

We are still waiting for multi VC ADSL as well; big providers slow down this to keep the Ip telephony market for them (they do have  triple play offers but do not want to resell multi VC to small VISP, or very expensive).

when you start receiving DHCP IP or setup Static IP) (ISP network)
then dial to pppoe (internet IP)

[eth0]WAN (DHCP 10.10.x.x) + (PPPoe 87.236.x.x)

[PFsense]
|
[eth1]LAN (192.168.1.1)

HomePC(192.168.1.199)

impossible to configure pfsense to work with
multicast ipTV over 10.10.х.х network

see how this is done on d-link
Dual-access
Dynamic PPPoE +Dynamic IP

Perhaps you could do multicasting inside a small level 3 switch ?

@olivier1010:

use cisco and throw pfsense?  ;D

[eri--]

Can you tell me which gateway you use by default, the one you get from dhcp or the one from pppoe?
Or at least which is required by the provider so i can think up of something to handle this.

Interfaces:
vr0 = Wan
vr1 = Lan

by default i'am use pppoe gateway
but iptv server worked through gateway from DHCP (10.12.127.1)

pfsense reboot,
execute
netstat -rn
