The one is a PPPoE Client, the other is a PPPoE Server.

The server is for handling incoming PPPoE connections,
and the Client is for facilitating a PPPoE connection from your router to another server.

The PPPoE Client tool is very handy for CPE applications where the APs run PPPoE server.

Hello I think that you can only have a pppoe server for each interface, an principaly if you use pppoe server without name

the option to add a pppoe server interface from winbox is so you can create rules for the interface, instead of it creating a dynamic interface everytime the pppoe session is established.
