PPPoE interface not stable after upgrade from 2.4.4 to 2.4.5-RC

[eujay.29]

Hi Guys,

I am facing the above problem after I upgraded into 2.4.5.r.20200306.1200, does anyone having same problem with me?

I tried manually connect in Status->interface but no luck, I also enable/disable in interface tab still not working

Thanks,

What does "not stable" mean? Usually that implies that it works but doesn't stay connected. But the text of your post seems to imply it doesn't connect at all. Which is it?

I don't have anything using PPPoE on 2.4.5 right this moment, but I know others that do and haven't seen any complaints. The PPPoE systems I do have, including my edge, are all on 2.5.0 and are working fine there.

Hi Jimp,

It works after a fresh reboot but a couple of minutes it disconnect and could not reconnect again, so I have to restart the server.

This is may current setup
WAN1 - Static
WAN2 - PPPoE
LAN

It only occur if I set the WAN2 as a default gateway.

Thanks,

2.4.5-RC (amd64)
built on Fri Mar 06 21:05:39 EST 2020
FreeBSD 11.3-STABLE
I have the PPPoE and multi WAN.
I have configured WAN1 as static and wan2 as PPPoE. WAN2 is selected as default gateway.
Nothing happens. Works rock solid
Look at Status/System/Logs/PPP may be you will find out something.
