Multiple simultaneous pppoe login through one CPE

We have been trying for months now, to connect several pppoe cutomers through one CPE. We are using Tranzeo radios (CPE80, CPE200, SL215,CPQ19, 902-11 …)
Some setups work, others don’t, we can seem to pin point the difference in the settings. Appears that configuring through CLI give more consistant results.

Here is the config that doesn’t work:

[admin@Mikrotik] > ppp profile pr
Flags: * - default
0 * name=“default” use-compression=default use-vj-compression=default use-encryption=default only-one=default change-tcp-mss=yes

1 name=“pppoe-srv” local-address=192.168.13.129 remote-address=pppoe-srv use-compression=default use-vj-compression=default
use-encryption=default only-one=default change-tcp-mss=default dns-server=192.168.96.7,192.168.96.8

2 * name=“default-encryption” use-compression=default use-vj-compression=default use-encryption=yes only-one=default change-tcp-mss=yes
[admin@Mikrotik] >


[admin@Mikrotik] > interface pppoe-server server pr
Flags: X - disabled
0 service-name=“” interface=bridge1 max-mtu=1480 max-mru=1480 mrru=disabled authentication=pap,chap keepalive-timeout=60
one-session-per-host=no max-sessions=0 default-profile=pppoe-srv
[admin@Mikrotik] >


Thanks for looking through it and letting me know what is wrong

There is no difference whether you configure router from CPI or winbox. Problem relies somewhere else, so what exactly is not working?

Are those settings correct? Is there something you can see that would explain why it is not working?
What is not working? I cannot make multiple simultaneous connections with different logins through the same CPE. The new login disconnects the first one.
I have successfully connected that way on a test box, setting up pppoe-server and profile through CLI … Is there a way to set the callerID to something else than the MAC of the CPE? Maybe that would help. I thought for a moment that it could be the radius server (we are using freeradius) but the test box works with the same radius server …
Any ideas?

PPPOE config looks fine and more than one client should be able to connect. Try without radius.

I did try with local authentication, I still have the same issue … Thanks for your help!

Very strange … It works now. I did change the “only one” under pppoe profile from default to no, but I don’t think it should make a difference, deault should work too right?

If you are trying to connect with the same username multiple times then only-one should be set to no. Otherwise as option says only one user will be able to connect.

The problem is becouse is not posible, your CPE me be transparent only one mac, or pppoe server seems cpe mac address, only will be possible if you can implement wds on CPE and obviously AP system, whit this you can conect multiple customers over ethernet cable pluged on same CPE.
