Double pppoe-client on same RB ??

Is possible to create two (or more) pppoe-client on the same RB?

sure, even on the same interface

I try to connect pppoe1 on ether1 and pppoe2 on ether2 but only ONE get connetted.
This on a single rb433ah with v.3.30

If I try on different RB the connection is established.

Why?

well, ‘Why?’ is at least in Log - what’s the reason of not-connecting you see there? =)

Log says:
pppoe-out2: inizializing…
pppoe-out2: dialing…
pppoe-out2: terminating… - disconnected
pppoe-out2: disconnected

At certain moments they are both connected.
but after a few minutes one of them si disconected

Now, I have a bridged network where bridge1 contains ether1 ether2 wlan1 wlan2.
My ISP provides one connection per mac-address
How to create 2 pppoe-client in the same routerboard and mantain all bridged?

For example I try to create a bridge2 but I can’t add the same ethernet and wireless interfaces that are in bridge1.

Any ideas?

don’t use bridge =)

What do you advise me to use?

I don’t know your network topology

why do you need ether1/2 in bridge?

Chupaka thanks for your time :smiley:

I don’t know your network topology

My network is all Bridged for now.
I put a single class of 64 ip with a simmetric 10Mbps provide from my isp on the RB source and then distribute to all my clients over multiple wireless repeater points.
All this creating a pppoe on the bridge.

When I reach the limit of IP or bandwidth I’ll buy another pppoe account with other ip and other Mbps.

But I can’t enable pppoe on the same interface (Bridge1) because they limit connection per mac address.
I need to establish the second pppoe in other way.

why do you need ether1/2 in bridge?

Only for backup

I still can’t understand, why you heed bridge… maybe, your pppoe-client should be added to bridge, not ether*?..

I still can’t understand, why you heed bridge

I’ve to propagate a single /26 to all my bridged network.
If I put same class of IP in different interface they don’t work!

maybe, your pppoe-client should be added to bridge, not ether*?..

If I add pppoe in the bridge I can connect only ONE pppoe, and if I add pppoe on the ether on my RB433 I can add only TWO pppoe (One on ether1 and one on ether2, all direct connect on a external simple switch, with also the ether3 bridged with wlan1 and wlan2)

There is nothing to be able to create multiple virtual (virtual interface) mac-address and bypass pppoe-client limitToOneMacAddress of my ISP?

your setup is illogical. if you use bridge, then you use bridge and have one bridge interface. if you want to use both ether cards as separate interfaces - DON’T use bridge :slight_smile:

you can’t have two opposite things at the same time

but you still use routing for the Internet?..

If I use bridge I’ve only ONE mac-address and I can’t create multiple PPPoE-Client

On my RB if I create this situation:

Bridge1
 - ether1   --------> SWITCH1
 - wlan1
 - wlan2

Ether2   --------> SWITCH1

Ether3   --------> SWITCH1

PPPoE1 on ether2
PPPoE2 on ether3

..all works
but
I can’t create more than 2 pppoe-client account.

your setup is illogical. if you use bridge, then …

The problem is the mac-address!!
“Bridge” give me the possibility to extend my “single ip class” over other wireless repeater point, but I’ve got the problem for the single MAC-address (only ONE pppoe-client per MAC).
If I use differente interface I lost the ability to propagate the “single ip class”…

Then, the solution is to use different MAC-address … how? Using the single ethernet authenticating each one on different pppoe (my previous example)? but I need one ethernet to mantain “single ip class” bridging with the other wireless interface

So, how to create ‘x’ pppoe-client on my situation?
