Dear all forumers, I using PPPOE connection and i realized there is frequent disconnection when using OPNSense, there is no such error when using normal router. What could be the root cause?

Please help. Thanks.

Miscconfiguration: why do you use two logical interfaces for pppoe?
Intel N100, 4* I226-V, 2* 82559, 16 GByte, 500 GByte NVME, ZTE F6005

OPnsense when properly configured PPPoE is super stable, it even properly supports PPPoE adaptive LCP echo request...I always test this in a sandboxed LAB environment before every new release makes it into my production environment, and it's always worked perfectly.
OPNsense 25.7.11_9-amd64 running on ESXi 6.7 U2 VM, 4Gbytes RAM, 2 x vCPU
