there is a same mac address device on your connection… check disconnected pppoe_client device mac address.

if you want to use as like this you can disable this option go /interface pppoe-server server and set one-session-per-host=no

I also facing the same issue
I know I can resolve this issue just setting one session per host = no

But in log it says “session already active closing previous one” then why it not close previous session and start new session automatically

I using usermanager to authenticate and accounting for PPP users
Whenever net is down and up again in few minutes then user not authenticating due to session already active in usermanager
So every time when net is down and up again so I have to manually clear session from usermanager which user not authenticating

The problem with doing that is that it causes “fighting” between users when it happens that two users have the same MAC address.
This could happen when devices are “cloned” (backup made and then restored on another device).
Such practice could go on undetected for some time when you just allow it.

Hi people,

With Mikrotik 6.44.6 the problem is the same.
@Normis, I ask if Mikrotik solve this problem.

I an having this problem. We are not cloning devices. When we change the IP of one device, some other device begins the same behaviour.

Actually two or three CPE’s are acting this way…

Thanks

I have the same problem, but only when i changed router 4011 with 1036. I have upgrade and downgrade the 1036 router and is the same. I have created many pppoe-servers and is the same. Now i have put away the 1036 and i am using 4011.

Mikrotik team is sleeping i think.

why is this marked solved? I too have the same problem with CCR1036-8G-2S+ , running the latest long-term version 6.47.9.
Many such requests are causing mikrotik to hang.

Try returning to 6.46.8. Perhaps it will help.
