Title: PPPoE & HA
Post by: prodriguezd on December 20, 2016, 09:17:40 am

Hi.

I'm new in OPNSense 16.7.

Can someone tell me if its posible to use PPPoE in a HA environment of OPNSense?.

I have a cluster working, but the PPPoE configuratión doesn't synchronize and I think its no posible do it in an HA cluster.

I have been googling a lot without sucess.  :-[

Thanks.

Your options should be:

1) run the PPPoE in the router, then you have issues like NATting and similar that you need to enable in the router as well as the *sense configuration changing
2) initiate PPPoE connection only from one of the firewalls, preferably the one being CARP master. Generally, this should work with some combination of Dial-on-Demand and disabling the gateway monitoring, I have not been able to make this work though. Also, I do not think you will get HA here, just moderate availability with a failover taking several seconds.
