Virtual PPPoE IP Alias
«

December 22, 2017, 01:33:58 pm »
Hello!
i am trying to set up a VIP on my PPPoE Interface.
If i do that in the GUI the system does a:
/sbin/ifconfig pppoe1 inet xxx.xxx.149.33/29 alias
It Returns: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Destination address required
I think it should be:
/sbin/ifconfig pppoe1 inet xxx.xxx.149.33/29 alias
ppoe-isp-gw-ip
=> Because that works and makes my vip available to the world.
Am i wrong?
Am i using Opnsense wrong?
Or is it a bug?
Thanks.

please correct me if i´m wrong but as far as my knowledge goes, the ip address on a pppoe link is determeined by the ips. you cannot assign your own ip address on that link as the subnet is owned by the isp.
if you you do need a second address, you have to request it from the isp and they will assign that second address on your pppoe link from their side.

Hello Droppie391,
yes you are wrong
I get a single IP from my ISP via PPPoE (like a normal internet dialup) and the ISP routes a 2nd complete subnet (in this case xxx.xxx.149.33/29) to my PPPoE IP.
Is this a feature opnsense can not handle yet?
Thanks

Hmmm, that's interesting, this is the 1st time where I see this scenario...
But, maybe one of these idea's can bring you forward:
- Configure the PPPoE with the VIP on the WAN Interface of your router and the Subnet Range on the LAN side, the connect the opnsense on the LAN port of the router.
- Or try to configure opnsense with the PPPoE VIP on the WAN interface and the IP range to a "dummy" VLAN on the opnsense and set the GW to the WAN interface.
I never try this...
