PPPoE on RB750GL

Hi

Trying do use PPPoE on RB750GL to dial out via ADSL modem set to bridge mode.

I’ve set my ADSL modem to bridge mode, Using Winbox added pppoe client to ether1-gateway, entered my isp user name / password. Status says connected yet I’m unable to connect to the internet.

ether1-gateway address is 10.10.10.11/8
ether2-local-master address is 172.18.91.156
WAN pppoe-outside address is 196.x.x.x

Have tried giving my pc (connected to ether2) ip address in 172.18.91.x range with gateway / DNS 172.18.91.156

As well as letting it get automatic ip which it then gets in the 192.168.88.x range

neither is working.

Please help, thanks.

Do you have a Nat (masquerade) rule for traffic going out over the PPPoE interface?

I though i had as the following is set by default:


The following default configuration has been installed on your router:

ether1 is renamed ether1-gateway, rest of interfaces are switched
IP address 192.168.88.1/24 is on switch
DHCP client is on ether1-gateway
DHCP server is on switch, with address pool 192.168.88.10-192.168.88.254
masquerade on ether1-gateway

Do I need to set up new NAT/masq rule for logical interface that gets created when setting up pppoe and if so how is this done?

Added NAT / Masquerade rule in Winbox under Firewall settings.

There are now two NAT / Masquerade rules one for ether1-gateway the other for pppoe-out1

chain=srcnat action=masquerade

no traffic flowing over pppoe-out1 interface

no internet

any help welcome

thanks.

You only need the Masquerade on the PPPoE interface…
Check your default routes. I bet if you remove the current 0.0.0.0/0 and recreate it, you will be good.

Thanks; up and running.
