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
