MT for PPPoE

RouterOS General
1

Hello All,

I want to use MT as a Bridge and use it as a PPPoE Server. We are in process of introducing a PPPoe Server +Radius to be able to control our clients.

Is this possible and if yes can you please direct me to HOW to.

Even if somebody can point to any other suggestion it would help us !

Thanks,

I use Mikrotiks as PPPoE servers for various things. It works fine. Just enable the PPPoE server and tell it to use RADIUS for authentication.

I can point you in the general direction of what to do from Winbox. I can’t give you straight terminal steps.

Click “PPP” along the left.
Click “PPPoE Server”
Add a new PPPoE server on the appropriate interface
Click the “Secrets” tab on the top
Click “AAA”
Ensure that “Use RADIUS” is checked. If you want interim updates, put that in as well.
Click “Radius” along the left.
Add a new RADIUS server. You’ll need the IP of the server, and the RADIUS secret. You’ll also need to configure the RADIUS server to accept connections from the Mikrotik.

Things should work now. Look at the logs for info if things aren’t working.

Thanks for the outline.

Where does your PPPoE server sit ?

Clients=====PPPoe====Internet

Does the PPPoe server has 2 nic ? and do u configure it as a bridge ?

Thanks.

The way I do it is to enable PPPoE on a Hotspot protected interface. The router has already been configured for internet access, and the PPPoE server just uses the default IP pool.

PPPoE is mostly used for XBox/PS2 game consoles, because they don’t have a web browser that can be used to log in normally.
