Hi,
My ISP is changing its configuration from IPoE to PPPoE and I need to adapt...
I have configured the modem in bridge mode and now I need to establish the PPPoE connection from my Edgerouter. I have tried with 1.9.0 and with 1.9.1, with no better results...
This is how I have confiogured the thing :
ethernet eth1 { address dhcp description OVH duplex auto pppoe 0 { default-route none firewall { in { name WAN_IN } local { name WAN_LOCAL } } mtu 1492 name-server auto password xxxxx user-id xxxxxxx@ovh.kosc } speed auto }
and the pppoe stays desesperatly "disconnected"(while eth1 interface shows "connected")... None of them are displaying the fixed IP address I should get...
I have tried with and without the "address dhcp" at eth1 level without success. Shouldn't I be able to specify for pppoe0, like for an ethx interface, how to get the IP address? I did not find the place where to do that on the pppoe parameters (neither in the GUI nor in the config tree...
I have configured the default_route as none because I think the rest of my config should take care of the routing (PBR etc...) and I believe this is not what prevents pppoe from connecting.
I see the following messages in the log :
Dec 30 17:45:01 EdgeRouterPro8 pppd[9469]: Timeout waiting for PADO packets Dec 30 17:43:46 EdgeRouterPro8 pppd[9469]: Timeout waiting for PADO packets Dec 30 17:43:11 EdgeRouterPro8 pppd[9469]: pppd 2.4.4 started by root, uid 0
and I was wondering if there is a way to get more details on what exactly is going on so that I can go on in the investigation with the support team from the ISP?
And, and, now I that I write all this : could it be that my firewall is blocking the messages that allow the PPPoE connection to be established? What should I allow to let the connection establish?
Thanks,
