Hello,
I have 8 PPPoE accounts, all from the same ISP, I want to add these PPPoE clients and let them run on the same interface, unfortunately the PPPoE server doesn't like multiple PPPoE connection with the same mac address, a workaround is to make a bridge over the interface and then i can change the mac address of the bridge and set the PPPoE client interface to the bridge, unfortunately it is not possible to add multiple bridges on a single interface so we're back to square on.
Another workaround that i tried is connect a cable between two interfaces and run VLANS on between these interface, then bridge everything to the ISP interface, i tried it now i can connect as many clients as i like, but the solution is not clean and i get warning about a possible loop.
An ideal solution would be to run 8 cables to a switch and the switch is connected to the ISP cable, it would definitely work without a problem and every client will have it's own mac, but i'm trying to keep the solution to one router, and also not waste 8 interfaces if possible.
any other solutions/ideas/workarounds ?
Regards
