Hello,
new user here. I have a new fiber connection where the provider makes you use their router. I have put an Edgerouter-X behind the proprietary router and everything works, but I'd like to eliminate it if possibile.
The point is how to authenticate the router to the provider using the PPPoE protocol; the username and password seems not to be used. The key seems to be the "Host-Uniq" tag during the PPPoE authentication, sending it in the PADI and PADR packets. It must contain the ID of the provided router.
My question is, does anybody knows if it is possibile to specify it with the ER-X ? The normal pppoe linux client has the "-U" switch to do this (source: http://linux.die.net/man/8/pppoe), I wonder if I could do the same with the ER-X.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be deeply appreciated.
