PPPoE Sharing

RouterOS General
1

Hi guys,

I once had a configuration on one my MT Boxes sometime agao, but I can’t seem to remember how I had it done. I know I possibly have a slight mistake, but can’t figure out where.

Basically I have the MT box with 2 ethernets, ether1 and ether2. Ether1 is configured as a PPPoE client and ether2 has local IP 192.168.0.1/28. The PPPoE client on ether1 connects, pings, browses perfectly and has no problem from within winbox but I would like this to be shared onto ether2.

Can someone tell me what it is I am missing?

Thanks

Here is example of similar config:

Thanks, this really was very descriptive. Funny thing is I did everything in stated there well except the router protection bit and still it didnt work. I wonder if it has to do with with the local gateway (192.168.0.1) I have set on the PC? I do suppose that will be the gateway it will assign to local network if I were running a DHCP server.

Can you ping router from PC connected to ether2? IF yes then check if you have set:

  1. default route
  2. NAT rule to masquerade your local network.
  3. /ip dns allow remote request
    these are three common mistakes.

Hello mrz,

Thanks, all works now. I just reset configuration and setup all from the beginning and every thing worked fine. :laughing:

I wonder if its possible to have multiple pppoe client accounts being shared at the same time?

pls advise.

If you mean can you have multiple DSL upstream connections and share that bandwidth to the lan, then yes.

i mean have multiple pppoe connections active and share the connection to the lan. ya.
how can this be accomplished?

pls advised

cylent,
look here for assistance: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Routing

You are looking for what is referred to (on that page) as “load balancing” or “multiple gateways”. You can, also read the manual about equal cost multipath routing (ecmp). There is a TON of documentation here on the forum, in the wiki and in the manual.

I hate to answer with “RTFM”, but I really get sick of answering questions that are IN the “FM”. It’s not just you, so please don’t be offended by this answer. :wink:

thank you for defining the term ..
i know to look in the manual but i wouldnt know what to seek

now i know.

thanks again!

Hi guys, is there any tutorial for PPPoE for the same gatewy?? I Mean if I take 2 ADSL connection from 1 ISP and 1 Gateway, is there any solution?? Link, referer or something else maybe… ofcourse it’s for MikroTik

I’ve never had this scenario, but I can imagine the trouble it could cause. I can’t see a way to make this work. With PPPoE (and other tunnels), the broadcast address for the tunnel is the “remote” end of the tunnel…i.e. the gateway. I can’t imagine this would even be possible to make this work.

Using RouterOS 3.x you can do that using interface-based routing. Just use the pppoe interface name as gateway in your routing table, like

/ip route add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=pppoe-out1

well, there ya’ go! I had forgotten that 3.x had interface routing.

@cmit
Well see, lemme try first!! But thanx for info… but anyway, some of friend using 2.9.50 for PPPoE over same gateway the internet connection works fine!! I ask him but he rejected me and ask me to search first in internet :frowning:
