[Solved] PPPoE/BGP Issue

Hello,

We are trying to set up a PPPoE/eBGP connection to our service provider (BT). The circuit is an IP Unnumbered IP Connect circuit if that helps. we have been provided all the necessary information however we can’t seem to get it to establish. We have been sent an example Cisco config to follow and have substituted our information in, could someone translate the config below into a Mikrotik config for a HEX Router?

*interface Loopback1
description ** IP Connect Primary WAN IP Address **
ip address 10.20.16.4 255.255.255.255


interface Ethernet0/1/0

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Phil

If you give the supplier who sold you those two Hex 750Gr3’s a quick phone call, they’ll be more than happy to help you set this up and try to get it up and running for you asap! :wink:

You’ll find our details below :slight_smile:

best regards

Hi Ron,

Thank you will give you a call Monday.

Hi All,

I am still struggling with this. The below is an actual config I have put in place on a cisco router. This works perfectly. I am struggling I believe with the “ip unnumbered Loopback1” - Would setting a static /32 ip on the pppoe interface do the equivalent on the mikrotik? (I can answer that as a no), therefore Im really struggling how to achieve the same results. Currently I get the error; Could not determine remote IP (on the PPPOE status). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

Sorted. Set the statics in the profile section under PPPOE. All works great thanks.
