Move PPPoE server from AP to border router

RouterOS General
1

Hi there,

I’ve got this simple scenario:
PPPoE su BS.png
CPE connects to the NetMetal.
NetMetal has PPPoE server on wlan1 and a private IP for management on ether1.
NetMetal is connected to a RB1100AHx2.
Now I can have full access (winbox and SSH) to NetMetal and RB1100AHx2




I would like to have this scenario:
PPPoE su RB1100.png
Basically I want to have PPPoE server on RB1100AHx2.
How do I have to set up NetMetal and RB1100AHx2 in order to have the same access to the NetMetal on the first scenario?
Do I have to use VLANs?

Hi, you can do this using EoIP tunnel, VLAN or another kind of layer2 tunnel.

In AP:
1.- Create L2 tunnel over ether1
2.- Create bridge
3.- Add “wlan1” and “tunnel” interfaces to that bridge

In RB1100:
1.- Create same kind of L2 tunnel as AP in ether2
2.- Create your PPPoE server, profiles, secrets..
3.- Run your PPPoE server on “tunnel” interface

I hope this help you

Regards.

Hi, and thanks for your answer.
How would be done the VLAN config?

Hi, try this:

On NetMetal:

/interface vlan add name=Vlan100 vlan-id=100 interface=ether1
/interface bridge add name=Bridge arp=proxy-arp
/interface bridge port add bridge=Bridge interface=wlan1
/interface bridge port add bridge=Bridge interface=Vlan100

On RB1100AH:

/interface vlan add name=Vlan100 vlan-id=100 interface=ether2
/interface pppoe-server server add disabled=no one-session-per-host=yes service-name="PPPoE_Server" interface=Vlan100

In this case i selected “vlan-id=100” but you can use another number between 1-4095. Number 1 is not recommended for security reasons.

Remember that you need to create the PPP Profiles and Secrets on RB1100AH before run PPPoE Server.

I hope this help you

Regards.
