PPPoE Server over multpile Switches

Mon Mar 29, 2021 7:08 pm

Hello all.

I am testing a bit in LAB and would like to set up a PPPoE server in RouterOS.
On a single switch (Switch A) this works as well. I used the turtorial: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/PPPOE_Server

But now I want to use the PPPoE server of switch A on the second switch (switch B).
The switches are connected with a single fiber cable. There are different VLANs also in use on the same line.

Currently I have two bridges configured one for the normal network and one for the PPPoE network.

How can I use the PPPoE server over both switches?

Thanks for your answer and greetings from Switzerland

Hey,

simple create a tagged/trunk port between switch 1 and switch 2 pass whatever VLAN tag you want to flow/pass, create an access port in 2nd switch with the VLAN ID where your PPPoE server bind, presto it should work

Quick and dirty solution that I'd expect to work would be to mirror the physical ports on the second switch. Though loloski's solution should work too and is much cleaner. =)
