[solved] PPPoE connection over an interface which already has an IP-configuration
-
Can you run a PPPoE connection over an interface which already has an IP-configuration, lets say dhcp?
-
@bob-dig
Yes. Many people who run PPPoE have an additional IP configuration on the same network port to access the modem.Go to Interfaces > Assignments > PPPs, hit Add, select PPPoE from link type drop-down and the respective interface.
Enter your credentials and a description below and save the settings.
The PPPoE connection should be established immediately if the settings are correct. -
You wouldn't normally use PPPoE on an interface configured as DHCP but you could.
What exactly are you trying to do?

@stephenw10 There is a router that also allows PPPoE Passthrough and I want to use only one connection.

Putting a device in passthrough mode like that usually disables DHCP but if it doesn't I see no reason why it wouldn't work. I have configured static IPs on PPPoE parent NICs to access the modem many times. I have that setup here.
