Re: Best control over CPE devices

you must assign an ip to each cpe.
use a dhcp server on every AP (linked to the wlan) and pass to the cpe the ip and the default gateway (the ap itself)

correct pratice to set dial-on-demand pppoe ?

Hi all.
I need to set my pppoe user to disconnect if idle for more than 3 minutes.
The correct configuration is:
1. assign pppoe server to a profile A
2. set in profile A: idle-timeout=3min
3. set in pppoe client dial-on-demand=yes

Is this correct ?

Hi all.
In one access point rb433ah, I have two wlans.
In each wlan I have Forward=off then users are isolated at L2 one each other.
If I bridge the two wlans, is also true that users of wlan1 are isolated at L2 by users at wlan2 ?
