      I activated a PPPoE Server on a generic interface OPT with vlan 100
      (OPT, OPT100) and works fine, but now I'd like to give to pppoe clients a parameter via dhcp option 43. It's possible? Could you help me, please?

        No, not from the GUI at least. It would require some custom coding if it can be done. PPPoE is not DHCP.

            Well it would have to be a value that can be set in mpd5 since that's what the PPPoE server uses.

            As a test you could try adding values to the conf file for the server in, for example, /var/etc/pppoe1-vpn/mpd.conf. You would need to manually kill the process and restart it like:
            /usr/local/sbin/mpd5 -b -d /var/etc/pppoe1-vpn -p /var/run/pppoe1-vpn.pid -s poes poes

            If you are able to find a value that works there most of that is created in /etc/inc/vpn.inc
