8.6.2 PPPoE Client Setup

Submenu level: /interface pppoe-client

Description

The PPPoE client supports high-speed connections. It is fully compatible with the RouterOS PPPoE server (access concentrator).

￿

For Windows: some connection instructions may use the form where the "phone number", such as "WR4500_AC\mt1", to indicate that "WR4500_AC" is the access concentrator name and "mt1" is the service name.

Property Description

ac-name(text; default: "") - this may be left blank and the client will connect to any access concentrator that offers the "service" name selected

add-default-route(yes no; default: no) - whether to add a default route automatically

allow (multiple choice: mschap2, mschap1, chap, pap; default: mschap2, mschap1, chap, pap) - the protocol to allow the client to use for authentication

dial-on-demand(yes no; default: no) - connects to AC only when outbound traffic is generated and disconnects when there is no traffic for the period set in the idle-timeout value

interface (name) - interface the PPPoE server can be reached through

max-mru(integer; default: 1460) - Maximum Receive Unit. The optimal value is the MRU of the interface the tunnel is working over decreased by 40 (so, for 1500-byte Ethernet link, set the MRU to 1460 to avoid fragmentation of packets)

max-mtu(integer; default: 1460) - Maximum Transmission Unit. The optimal value is the MTU of the interface the tunnel is working over decreased by 40 (so, for 1500-byte Ethernet link, set the MTU to 1460 to avoid fragmentation of packets)

mrru (integer: 512..65535; default: disabled) - maximum packet size that can be received on the link. If a packet is bigger than tunnel MTU, it will be split into multiple packets, allowing full size IP or Ethernet packets to be sent over the tunnel

disabled - disable MRRU on this link

name (name; default: pppoe-out1) - name of the PPPoE interface

password (text; default: "") - a user password used to connect the PPPoE server profile (name) - default profile for the connection

service-name(text; default: "") - specifies the service name set on the access concentrator. Leave it blank unless you have many services and need to specify the one you need to connect to use-peer-dns(yes no; default: no) - whether to set the router's default DNS to the PPP peer DNS (i.e. whether to get DNS settings from the peer)

user (text; default: "") - a user name that is present on the PPPoE server
