Title: MLPPP / PPPoE won't reconnect on almost any change
Post by: avvid on December 14, 2016, 12:08:50 am

Hi there,  I can re-produce this issue every time, and wondered if anyone else has come across it.   Don't see the error on Git.

I have 3 modems with MLPPP.   Two things happen;
1) When I reboot my firewall, the MLPPP connection WON'T come back up unless I reset the Point-To-Point interface somehow.  Even a re-save (with no changes) will finally force a reconnect.    Huge issue obviously if manual intervention is needed anytime the FW reboots.

2) Almost the same issue as above - If I change the config to 2 modems (which unfortunately I need to do on occasion for a few reasons), the FW won't even attempt a re-connect or re-authorization.  So, I have to SAVE the config again to force a reconnect.

2a) When I do the above (go from 3 modems down to 2), the VAST majority of the time it won't re-establish the MLPPP connection and I literally have to reboot the FW and do Step #1 to go from 3 to 2 modems.

I came from pfsense to OPNSense, and never had any of these issues with pfsense.   
Anyone else?
Thanks

Well, I just do an update to the latest firmware on two opnSense boxes (remote :( :( :(  ), same problem; It doesn't reconnect to the Internet with PPPoE. I think we had it also before, but we can connect via a backup line, but not so this time...
