How to configure static IP on WAN with PPPoE
«

Our ISP says in order for us to connect to their service we need to configure the WAN port for PPPoE.
We have one static IP address the ISP has given us.
I need some help to figure out how to configure the WAN with a static IP and PPPoE?
When I change the WAN interface from Static IPv4 to PPPoE, there's no where to put a static IP address.
Kind regards,
penley

The provider will assign you the IP during the dialup process

Try this
1. set your static IP in WAN.
2. Go to 'Interface' - "Point to Point" - "Device", add new one with type "PPPoE" and link your physical interface which is linked to ISP device.

@mimugmail and @kx001, thank you for the quick responses. I am unfamiliar with this type of setup and appreciate ya'll answering. I asked the ISP directly to make sure.
They said "It is assigned once you authenticate with the username and password. You don’t need to manually assign it."
I get the impression this is not always the case, so I'm glad it's now clear.
Thank you,

You can do static on PPPoE but usually it's dynamic. My ISP allows both, depends really on whether the ISP provides static addresses.

Just an update to close the loop on this.
The OPNsense firewall is now deployed and the connection is good. All that needed to be done was set the WAN to PPPoE, enter the credentials. It connected as soon as the WAN was plugged in. The static IP we got from the ISP was assigned to the WAN interface on connection.
Thank you all for the help and advice.
Kind regards,
