Tutorials and FAQs / Unable to Setup PPPoE with Static IP
« on: April 02, 2021, 10:22:31 am »
Hi,
I have recently switched from Pfsense to OPNSense and I must say that the IPSec tunnels on OPNsense 21.1-amd64 is very stable and I am not facing any issues with the IPSec tunnels which were a pain on PFSense.
But recently I wanted to add another interface for PPPoE internet and I am trying to add the new interface and it has a static IP address IPv4. But the problem is that I am unable to define the static IP address on the interface and hence I am unable to run the internet from this WAN.
I need help on the same I am attaching the screenshots for the process followed.
First I created an Interface on the Firewall and added my username and password for the PPPoE and after save I clicked on the Additional PPPoE settings as shown in Image BSNL1.png attached.
Next I went to [Interfaces ---> Point-to-Point ----> Devices] there I had a account listed and when I try to enter the IP address and the Gateway and then save the values gets vanished after save and no error comes while saving which basically seems like a BUG as you can see in Image attached BSNL2.png
Also when I try to add the static IP to [System ----> Gateway ----> Single] there I am getting an error as shown in attached image BSNL3.png
Can any one please help me how to setup PPPoE connection with Static IP since I am out of wits for this particular case in setting up my internet.
