pppoe disconnecting every 7-8 minutes

I just recently got into installing RouterOS v5.0 as a VM inside vmware esxi4.1u1 . Everything is fine but my pppoe connection disconnects every 7 to 8 minutes . Upon further observation, it shows that the ISP that I am connecting to requires the client to send out a LCP/LQR in 30 seconds interval in order to keep the connection alive. Are there any options under RouterOS that I can do to cater for this configuration ? :frowning:

anyone ? :confused: :question:

What is your picture showing? A config page for another router?

I know there are keep-alive settings in the pppoe profile limits tab, ppp-profiles. That may help you.

yes its from another router.. just showing it because the ISP wants me to have this option enabled :confused:

Yeah i think thats the keepalive timer in the pppoe profiles there. its blank by default.

ok thanks for the heads up :slight_smile: i’ll try and see if it helps

That setting in your screenshot is not what you are looking for. That is for “connect on demand”.

I have never had an issue with ROS disconnecting on various types of PPPOE connections.

Goto system → Logging → “+” pick pppoe and action memory. You should see that magic packet you are looking for.

08:40:37 pppoe,ppp,debug,packet     <magic 0x5b1d8fe8> 
08:40:37 pppoe,ppp,debug,packet  DSL-OUT: sent LCP EchoRep id=0x5a 
08:40:37 pppoe,ppp,debug,packet     <magic 0x4c998846>

I am not sure if there is a way to change the interval, as I never have need to.

Yes the magic packet shows everytime before the connection drops .. What should we be looking at instead of the keep alive intervals ? Thanks for the highlight btw
