CPE PPPoE Client Setup Problem!!!!!

Hi

I’m so frustrated and this is the 3rd post I’m doing on this problem and no replies!!

Please HELP!

I have a PPPoE server running on an AP. With a client CPE I cannot establish a PPPoE client connection. The status says ‘dialing’ and then ‘disconnected’. I can do a PPPoE dialup via Windows with NO PROBLEMS! Whats going on here. I’ve played around with this problem now for more than a week with no solution…

Please help.

Thx.

Heres the debug log:

07:18:32 pppoe,ppp,info pppoe-out1: initializing…
07:18:32 pppoe,ppp,info pppoe-out1: dialing…
07:18:35 pppoe,ppp,info pppoe-out1: terminating… - disconnected
07:18:35 pppoe,ppp,debug pppoe-out1: LCP lowerdown
07:18:35 pppoe,ppp,debug pppoe-out1: LCP down event in initial state
07:18:35 pppoe,ppp,info pppoe-out1: disconnected

The AP is running a bridged network with IP: 192.168.0.12. User Manager is running on the AP itself.

As said, via Windows I can do the dialup without problems.

I’d really appreciate any help.

Thx.

Make sure the Service Name matches on the PPPoE server and the client.
Also, go to system->logging and add logging for pppoe, it should shed more light on the problem.

Thanks for the reply!

Does match

ppp and pppoe are added…

On the AP side (Bridged - 192.168.0.3)

[admin@AP] /interface pppoe-server server> print
Flags: X - disabled
0 service-name=“InternetServer_AP2” interface=Bridge_Jakalsberg_AP max-mtu=1480 max-mru=1480
mrru=disabled authentication=pap,chap,mschap1,mschap2 keepalive-timeout=120
one-session-per-host=yes max-sessions=0 default-profile=default

[admin@AP] /ppp profile> print

use-encryption=default only-one=default change-tcp-mss=yes
1 * name=“default-encryption” use-compression=default use-vj-compression=default
use-encryption=yes only-one=default change-tcp-mss=yes

PS: I’m not sure what the ‘local-address’ must be?!

[admin@AP] /radius> print detail

On the Client Side (Bridged - 192.168.0.5)

[admin@Client] /interface pppoe-client> print detail
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 name=“pppoe-out1” max-mtu=1480 max-mru=1480 mrru=disabled interface=ether2 user=“test”

add-default-route=yes dial-on-demand=no use-peer-dns=no allow=pap,chap,mschap1,mschap2

PS: ‘Ether2’ is not part of the bridge and has no assigned IP.

As said, dialup via Windows work fine, IP’s of 192.168.1.x gets assigned. Via MT CPE, cannot dial…

Sorry it took me a while to reply…
On the PPPoE server, do you have remote address set? local address can be left blank, and should still work.
Remote address is generally set to be a pool.

Also, now that you’ve enabled logging for ppp and pppoe, look in the log (or copy and paste it here) :slight_smile:
