HI all!
We have under NAS CCR1036-8G-2S+ board.
There is a problem. The maximum number of PPPoE sessions does not rise above 3041, which is not UNLIMITED!
How do I remove this limit?
Have you checked the “System - Resources” information? Maybe the device is running out of memory?
Total memory 15.9 GiB
Free memory 15.2 GiB
Why everybody keeps silence?
At least someone saw on RouterOS more than 3040 PPP sessions on the same board?
Can it be a soft limit?
technically the number of sessions shouldnt be limited as long as you have bandwidth, cpu and ram to spare and doesnt exceed the datatype used. Did you try contacting mikrotik support about this?
User IPANetEngineer tested CCR1072 with 30k simultaneous PPPoE sessions, so I really doubt there is intentional software limitation to 3041 sessions on CCR1036. What is ROS version you are running? It’s not impossible that some bug your configuration is expressing is fixed in newer iteration of the OS.
according to the wiki:
“Hardware usage: PPPoE server may require additional RAM (uses approx. 9KiB (plus extra 10KiB for packet queue, if data rate limitation is used) for each connection) and CPU power. Maximum of 65535 connections is supported.”
