PPPoE and VLAN ID

I am living in Austria, my future provider will be "A1" with a FTTH package. I have learned that i need to set the wan vlan id to "2", using ppoe, to get a connection.

See this post:
https://www.a1community.net/internet-fuer-zu-hause-449/pppoe-settings-for-own-router-service-name-etc-250761

The topology is planned like this:
ONT=>pfsense=>unifi switch

Question:
How do i need to setup pfsense correctly here?

I assume:
1 just setting up a WAN interface, ticking pppoe
2 setup a vlan with tag/id "2"
3 assign this vlan to the wan interface

Any help appreciated:)

This is corect!

You need to configure the PPPoE on the VLAN so I would do this:

Create a VLAN using ID 2 on the WAN parent NIC.

Create a PPPoE instance on the VLAN 2 interface.

Assign WAN as the new PPPoE instance.

There are several ways you could complete that setup though.

Hello

I have now setup a test environment in a virtual box, to do some dry runs before i get my hardware and the FTTH connection.
Sorry for asking, but i am completely new to Pfsense :)

I managed step1: Create a VLAN using ID 2 on the WAN parent NIC.
how do I create a PPPoE instance on the VLAN 2 interface and assign WAN as the new PPPoE instance.

tnx :)

@hudri now that you have created the VLAN2, create the interface. Then once your WAN interface is created and assigned to VLAN2, go into the interface setting and select pppoe for the ipv4 configuration type.

There are a few ways you can do this. That should work.

What I would do is create the PPPoE session on the VLAN in Interfaces > Assignments > PPPs.
Then assign the WAN as that new PPPoE 'port'. But either should work.
