I'm using ROS 5.24.
Now I want to create multiple PPPoE clients over a single NIC. But since PPPoE server side checkes MAC address of client, creating multiple PPPoE clients over a single interfaces just results that no PPPoE could connect. Thus I need to create multiple virtual interface over the NIC and each should have a different MAC Address.
If on Linux, I can create interface alias, such as eth0:1, eth0:2. I don't see a way on ROS to do similar.
Then I googled some posts that mentioned VRRP might work in this case. I created a VRRP interface on ether1, and created a PPPoE client on this VRRP interface, but PPPoE connection couldn't be established. One thing I noticed is, on the dialog of PPPoE Client, in the "Interface" droplist, "vrrp1" shows in Italy font style, like this vrrp1. What does Italy font mean?
Any idea?
