No, here in Japan with my ISP, I actually just need 1 ONU and even the NTT default CTU (All-In-One router + modem device ) is able to handle max. 5 PPPoE connections at the same time. I actually have tested to use 3 separate cheap Buffalo router, all connected directly to CTU. CTU config is set as PPPoE pass-thru. It works without any problem. I was able to run separated PPPoE on each connected Buffalo router. It would be great, if I could do same just with one pfSense router. Maik --- Sorry Maik - I misunderstood your application. I take it you want multiple PPPoE sessions for the IP addresses then? I believe pfSense limits you to one PPPoE session/interface, and doesn't support PPPoE pass-thru. With DSL in Canada, you can do what you are trying for as well if you just use the CPE instead of pfSense. I'm not aware of another work-around, though you might be able to achieve what you want with separate VLANs / virtual interfaces and a capable switch upstream of the pfSense box. -- Steven
[pfSense Support] Multible PPPoE on same NIC?
Hi, I'm thinking to buy new hardware for pfSense 2.0. I'm intent to setup multiple PPPoE connection (3-5) and would like to know, if pfSense 2.0 support this feature and if it is possible to configure it all at the same NIC.
