problems with PPPoE client on 2011UAS-2HnD-IN

Hi all,

I’m trying to set up my new 2011UAS-2HnD-IN as a PPPoE client to my DSL connection.

I have set my DSL modem to bridge mode. When connect it directly to my PC, I can connect using PPPoE without problems
But if I connect the modem to the mikrotik, it is not able to connect using PPPoE and the Mikrotik PPPoE Scanner does not return any results - and I can’t figure out why !

I have connected the Modem to this port:

/interface ethernet print detail from=9 
Flags: X - disabled, R - running, S - slave 
 0 R  name="09-FE-DSL" mtu=1500 l2mtu=1598 mac-address=D4:CA:6D:6E:A2:E9 arp=enabled auto-negotiation=yes 
      full-duplex=yes speed=100Mbps master-port=none bandwidth=unlimited/unlimited switch=switch-FE

And configured the PPPoE client as follows:

[admin@RB2011] > /interface pppoe-client print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running 
 0 X  name="pppoe-DSL" max-mtu=1480 max-mru=1480 mrru=disabled interface=09-FE-DSL 
      user="username" password="secret" profile=default service-name="" ac-name=""
      add-default-route=yes dial-on-demand=no use-peer-dns=yes allow=pap,mschap1,mschap2

When I run the PPPoE scanner I keep getting no results and the log displays this:

23:44:24 pppoe,debug,packet 09-FE-DSL: sent PADI to FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF 
23:44:24 pppoe,debug,packet     session-id=0x0000 
23:44:24 pppoe,debug,packet     host-uniq=0x5 
23:44:24 pppoe,debug,packet     service-name=

While when I enable the PPPoE interface it keeps dialling in a loop with these errors:

23:44:24 system,info device changed by admin 
23:44:32 pppoe,ppp,info pppoe-DSL: initializing... 
23:44:32 pppoe,ppp,info pppoe-DSL: dialing... 
23:44:32 system,info device changed by admin 
23:44:35 pppoe,ppp,info pppoe-DSL: terminating... - disconnected

It seems to me like the PPPoE interface is not getting across the modem. But I have no idea why.
As you see from the config the ethernet 09 port is not a slave port and it is not a bridged port either. So I don’t know what’s stopping it from connecting properly via the Modem.
If I bridge the port I can access the modem without difficulties to check it’s web interface - so the port itself is functional.

Any suggestions ? Thanks !

For those interested, I solved the problem. I changed the power supply and it immediately worked ! Seems the RB2011 did not like the power supply the Mikrotik dealer gave me… :laughing:

This is the one that gave me problems:

Dongguan Foreland electronics FLD181-240075-U

(24V / 0.8A DC)…

Don’t blame your dealer. This is what Mikrotik is now shipping to distributors in the US.
