Hi there,
we have a scenario with a PPPoE Server that uses a IP Pool to give out IP’s for the Clients. The “problem” is that it should not give the Client the same Address every time but it should give another one.
We’re using this scenario for end users to give them a DSL like internet connection with a (changing) dynamic IP.
Anyone know how to change the IP Pool to NOT give out the same address to the same client?
That’s the default way it works - you have to MANUALLY tell it to give someone the same address every time (fixed ip).
Does this not work for you?
What could be the problem is that if you have a small pool and only a few users, the chance is that the get the same address quite often - by incident…
Best regards,

Yes, this is the default way it works… you must to assign “remote-address” to the client, in the pppoe server settings:
/ppp secret add name=user password=passworsd service=pppoe remote-address=192.168.10.10
Or… if you can - use radius server…
