8.6.5 PPPoE Users
Description
The PPPoE users are authenticated through a RADIUS server (if configured), and if RADIUS fails, then the
local PPP user databese is used. See the respective manual sections for more information:
• RADIUS client
• PPP User AAA
8.6.6 PPPoE Server User Interfaces
Submenu level: /interface pppoe-server
Description
There are two types of interface (tunnel) items in PPTP server configuration - static users and dynamic
connections. An interface is created for each tunnel established to the given server. Static interfaces are
added administratively if there is a need to reference the particular interface name (in firewall rules or
elsewhere) created for the particular user. Dynamic interfaces are added to this list automatically
whenever a user is connected and its username does not match any existing static entry (or in case the
entry is active already, as there can not be two separate tunnel interfaces referenced by the same name).
Dynamic interfaces appear when a user connects and disappear once the user disconnects, so it is
impossible to reference the tunnel created for that use in router configuration (for example, in firewall),
so if you need a persistent rules for that user, create a static entry for him/her. Otherwise it is safe to use
dynamic configuration.
In both cases PPP users must be configured properly - static entries do not replace PPP configuration.
Property Description
encoding (read-only: text) - encryption and encoding (if asymmetric, separated with '/') being used in this
connection
mru (read-only: integer) - client's MRU
mtu (read-only: integer) - client's MTU
name (name) - interface name
remote-address (read-only: MAC address) - MAC address of the connected client
service (name) - name of the service the user is connected to
uptime (read-only: time) - shows how long the client is connected
user (name) - the name of the connected user (must be present in the user darabase anyway)
Example
To view the currently connected users:
[admin@AT-WR4562] interface pppoe-server> print
Flags: X - disabled, D - dynamic, R - running
# NAME USER SERVICE REMOTE... ENCODING UPTIME
0 DR <pppoe-ex> user ex 00:0C:... MPPE12... 40m45s
[admin@AT-WR4562] interface pppoe-server>
To disconnect the user ex:
[admin@AT-WR4562] interface pppoe-server> remove [find user=ex]
[admin@AT-WR4562] interface pppoe-server> print
[admin@AT-WR4562] interface pppoe-server>
