I’d like to project an issue that i recently had , hope i can find a solution with the great forum here
I’m from egypt by the way where there are no speeds higher than 2Mbps
I have 14 ADSL connections each 2Mbps connected to cisco SF300 smart switch ports 1-14
I’ve created 14 VLANS throuth the first 14 ports on the switch named them WAN1-WAN14 with IDs 101-114
Port 24 on the switch is trunked to my RB1200 where i created same vlan names , and IDs
Addresses to each Vlan are sequencely 192.168.1.5/192.168.1.0 - 192.168.14.1/192.168.14.0
(in coordination with the modems IPs)
Using PCC , I’ve successfully merged the 14 lines without using the pppoe clients on the RB1200
In bridge mode , When i try to dial the pppoe client through each vlan … it connects but no dynamic address is added to the addresses list and no internet comes through. althouth the (R) sign appears beside each pppoe connection . even if i use a single modem without pcc rules to access the internet.
NOTE : All the configuration is fine , no mistakes
I’ve read that there’s a work around solution to make pppoe dials actually run through VLANs successfully
The lack of responses probably indicates that people are unclear what the question is. I have connected the RouterOS PPPoE client to an access concentrator via VLANs without problems. Have you tried the PPPoE client connected directly to the ADSL modems first?
Thanks for reply , yes i’ve tried and it’s working fine ..
Only when i route the connections through cisco switch vlans , the pppoe connection is established but it could not get ip data from the modem , and not working
I’ve had a similar situation, where the PPPoE client wouldn’t get correct IP and GW settings from the ISP. I went backwards and forward, but just couldn’t resolve the problem. Finally got it working, and the culprit was the ADSL Router (Billion) which was set to half-bridge mode. When I changed the Billion to bridge (bridge-only), all worked as expected.
The IP I got on the PPPoE client (whilst the ADSL router was in half-bridge mode) was something like 41.1.2.0, which was actually a broadcast address.
I’m not saying this is your problem, but it very well may be. Are you using half-bridged mode for testing purposes? If yes, try changing it to normal bridge mode, and see if it makes a difference.
I got the same problem too, should i assign IP address of each modem that assigned on router (vlan)?
Please somebody help solving this
Thank you in advance for any suggestion
Just some Thursday morning humor!
