Passing pppoe through wireless gateway...

RouterOS Wireless Networking

I know many are opposed to the bridging of interfaces in a wisp scenario but how is it possible to utilize a centralized pppoe server without having to bridge the eth interface to wlan. Can such a setup be done with routing as it would sure be a plus to have everything routed for scalability and management.


Router (192.168.2.1/24) ↔ Rb532 (Poe Int. 192.168.2.2/24) ↔ Wlan (192.168.3.1/24)

Dhcp will be active on wlan.


If the above aint possible, whats the feasibility of having the pppoe server run on the rb532 with about 30-40 users? (Can it handle such?)

Any input is appreciated.

Regards

There are a few different ways to do so, the easiest way would be to set your network up with routing over private IPs, then run a EoIP tunnel from your mikrotik AP back to the router connected to the Access concentrator..

Otherwise 532 boards should be able to handle 30 or 40 clients.. PPoE sessions aren’t light on the processor though.
