This section describes how to set up PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE).
Here is an example of a working
ppp.conf
:
default:
set log Phase tun command # you can add more detailed logging if you wish
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0
name_of_service_provider:
set device PPPoE:xl1
# replace xl1 with your Ethernet device
set authname YOURLOGINNAME
set authkey YOURPASSWORD
set dial
set login
add default HISADDR
As root
,
run:
#
ppp -ddial name_of_service_provider
Add the following to
/etc/rc.conf
:
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_nat="YES" # if you want to enable nat for your local network, otherwise NO
ppp_profile="name_of_service_provider"
Sometimes it will be necessary to use a service tag to establish the connection. Service tags are used to distinguish between different PPPoE servers attached to a given network.
Any required service tag information should be in the documentation provided by the ISP.
As a last resort, one could try installing the net/rr-pppoe package or port. Bear in mind however, this may de-program your modem and render it useless, so think twice before doing it. Simply install the program shipped with the modem. Then, access the menu from the program. The name of the profile should be listed there. It is usually ISP.
The profile name (service tag) will be used in the PPPoE
configuration entry in ppp.conf
as the
provider part for set device
. Refer to
ppp(8) for full details. It should look like
this:
set device PPPoE:xl1
:ISP
Do not forget to change xl1
to
the proper device for the Ethernet card.
Do not forget to change ISP
to
the profile.
For additional information, refer to Cheaper Broadband with FreeBSD on DSL by Renaud Waldura.
This modem does not follow the PPPoE specification defined in RFC 2516.
In order to make FreeBSD capable of communicating with this
device, a sysctl must be set. This can be done automatically
at boot time by updating
/etc/sysctl.conf
:
net.graph.nonstandard_pppoe=1
or can be done immediately with the command:
#
sysctl net.graph.nonstandard_pppoe=1
Unfortunately, because this is a system-wide setting, it is not possible to talk to a normal PPPoE client or server and a 3Com® HomeConnect® ADSL Modem at the same time.
