Hi!
Have a little doubt. On a PPPoE server setup, why the mikrotik allows internet access on static ip range (without pppoe user and password)?
Can’t figure out where you can enable or disable this.
Please post your config and idea what you want to do!
Hi!
I want to disable internet access without PPPoE.
I have eth1 on WAN and eth2 as PPPoE server. Eth2 IP of mikrotik it’s 192.168.5.1. If I configure any PC that access through eth2 on 192.168.5.0/24 IP range I have internet access without using PPPoE and I want to disable this.
I don’t think you need IP address on eth2 at all … PPPoE works directly on ethernet layer (PPPoE is ethertype 0x8863 and 0x8864 … IPv4 is ethertype 0x0800 and IPv6 is ethertype 0x86DD).
No IP on interface … no routing through that interface. As simple as that.
PPPoE works in L2 so you don’t need an IP on the interface! I use an specific /32 IP on an Virtual LoopBack Interface (bridge interface without any port on it). And just create a pool for clients that don’t have any relation to this subnet. PPPoE works very well one /32 subnets!
Thanks ingdaka and mkx!
I checked on IP adresses and found an IP with 192.168.5.1/24. I changed it to 192.168.5.1 and that was it (kept it for another purpose).
