Is there a way to block people from using there private pppoe servers on my network?
I have a pppoe server running with userman but i have occasional useres who has there own pppoe adsl modems and there usernames keep trying to log onto my server…How do i block these guys from reaching my server?
you may try to create a bridge, add your ethernet to it, then use bridge filter to drop such requests by MAC… don’t fordet to move your PPPoE server to the bridge
I solved the issue of forgein PPPoE-Servers within my net
(as first step prior to proper Layer-2 user-isolation)
by simply dropping PPPoE-Discovery Frames
directed from broadcast (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF) to
the port of the user in Bridge Filter.
This way no PADI will ever reach a foreign PPPoE server.
Also note, that foreign PPPoE-Servers are dangerous,
as they can inhibit your customers establishing a connection
to your PPPoE Server.
Also a foreign PPPoE-Server is able to record all your customers account data.
