Where can I set PPPoE for WAN in pfSense shell?

I would like to know where I can set PPPoE for the WAN in the pfSense shell. I can't access the web interface right now.

There's no easy way to do that really. If I was doing it I would probably edit the config file directly and reboot to load it.

Your WAN should look like:

		<wan>
			<if>pppoe0</if>
			<descr><![CDATA[PPPoEWAN]]></descr>
			<blockpriv></blockpriv>
			<blockbogons></blockbogons>
			<enable></enable>
			<ipaddr>pppoe</ipaddr>
		</wan>

And you'll need a PPP section like:

	<ppps>
		<ppp>
			<ptpid>0</ptpid>
			<type>pppoe</type>
			<if>pppoe0</if>
			<ports>em0</ports>
			<username>your_username</username>
			<password>base64_encoded_password</password>
			<descr><![CDATA[WAN]]></descr>
			<provider>Your_ISP</provider>
		</ppp>
	</ppps>

Or similar with your details in it.
