Hello,
I have 951G-2HnD and I don’t seem to understand how to make PPPoE work on ether2. I get PPPoE is on slave interface error.
Before, it was simple, just remove the master port from it, re-asign other ether’s to a new master port and that’s it. Now, with that bridge configuration, I’m confused. Whenever I try to do anything with bridge1 (default), I lose router access through IP address and can’t get it to work unless I restore configuration back the way it was.
Any hints on how to get this to work?
As far as I understand, this looks like the a bridge config problem. ether2, as it was master port before, has a LAN IP address assigned and when I remove ether2 from bridge, whole bridge loses local IP address. But I can’t seem to find a way to set an IP to a bridge. Is it a correct way to set the IP to ether3 as it’s going to be “master port”?
From people I understand the follow required is needed
the connected device must be in bridge mode ( on the port connected too )
Set 1
Make PPPOE client connection
Name or use standard naming of connection
Interface : select the port to use for PPPoE dial (your case Port 2)
User : (credentials)
Password : (credentials)
Tick : Use Peer DNS
Tick : Add to default route
Thanks for the reply. The problem is that I lose network on the router the moment I remove ether2 from the bridge and I can’t seem to find a way to get it back without adding ether2 back to the bridge. As if ether2 was a master port…
So, I figured it out. I’ve been able to set the IP address to the bridge itself and removed the ether2 from the bridge.
But still have 1 question:
I get this:
5 ADC 10.0.0.0/8 10.10.0.1 bridge1 0
WAN2
Whenever I enable WAN2 interface.
How do I exclude ether2 (WAN2) from appearing as a gateway in a dynamic route? Or how do I prevent default dynamic route for the switch from being created?
