Support for pppoe-relay?

Is there a support for pppoe-relay in latest
Mikrotik OS?

No, there is not.
Probably, you may bridge public and local interfaces on Router that should act as PPPoE-relay.

Bridge will relay one hop yes, how about three hops?

eoip tunnel.

But it will be nice to see pppoe-relay feature anyway.

Bridging eoip to pppoe just stole my day… We need a real solution

What’s the problem ?

Bridging the interface to vlan caused vlan conflicts. I have started looking to vpls but I think the best solution would be an option for pppoe server to listen on multiple interfaces or better would be pppoe relay. There is potential security problems bridging or vlps interfaces that connect to multiple customers any way. Maybe we can filter our way out of it.

There is absolutely no problem with bridging and VPLS to transport PPPoE.
you just need to do it right

i concentrate hundreds of VPLS in a central location on one single bridge. Even using VLANs there is no issue at all.
To prevent bad things from happen I just enabled horizon-bridging all the way down from the PPPoE-Access conentrator to the CPE.
This ensures that each customer can only see the PPPoE-AC.
There is no Layer2 connectivity at all between the customers.
Also absolutely no firewall rules are needed, thus enabling for faster processing within RouterOS.

Thanks! bridge horizon… looks good and easy at first glance, but sparse on examples
