OpnSense 20.1.4 WAN (VLAN PPPoE) problem

[obenturk]

Hi all,

I have question related with WAN side VLAN, PPPoE configuration.

initial configuration ;

ONT ==> ISP supplied router ==> pfSense WAN (em0, dhcp)

This was working at least for 5 years. Now I have a chance to get rid of from ISP provided router.

New configuration ;

ONT ==> pfSense WAN (VLAN em0.157 ==> PPPoE) NOT WORKING

ONT ==> OpnSense WAN (VLAN em0_157 ==> PPPoE) Working Until System Reboots

I have PPPoE username and password and also VLAN ID is 157

Normally this should work but it does not so I switched to OpenSense 20.1 with same VLAN and PPPoE informations and it is working until I reboot OpnSense. I need to re assign WAN to em0 then again WAN to VLAN em0_157 - PPPoE each time OpnSense rebooted to get IP from WAN.

I am trying to find a solution via startup script that assigns WAN interface to em0 than VLAN em0_157 - PPPoE.

Since both pfSense and OpnSense are using freebsd is this a generic freebsd issue? But why OpenSense can make PPPoE connection even it is not flawless but pfSense can not?

I also asked same question to netgate forum if I can succeed to fix this issue I will share results from both forum.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Have healty days.

Hi, I had a similar issue with my OPNsense, I found out that if you're using VLAN you need to keep enable both the VLAN interface (In my case assigned to LWAN) and the pppoe WAN assigned to WAN.

This is how my configuration looks like:

Not working... Still I have the same issue.

Can someone help me how to write boot script to reconfigure assignments of WAN to em0 first than PPPoe?
