PPPoE
=====
-There are two main ways to setup VyOS to connect over a PPPoE internet connection. This is due to most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) providing a DSL modem that is also a wireless router.
-
-**First Method:** (Common for Homes)
-
-In this method, the DSL Modem/Router connects to the ISP for you with your credentials preprogrammed into the device. This gives you an :rfc:`1918` address, such as ``192.168.1.0/24`` by default.
+:abbr:`PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)` is a network protocol
+for encapsulating PPP frames inside Ethernet frames. It appeared in 1999,
+in the context of the boom of DSL as the solution for tunneling packets
+over the DSL connection to the :abbr:`ISPs (Internet Service Providers)`
+IP network, and from there to the rest of the Internet. A 2005 networking
+book noted that "Most DSL providers use PPPoE, which provides authentication,
+encryption, and compression." Typical use of PPPoE involves leveraging the
+PPP facilities for authenticating the user with a username and password,
+predominately via the PAP protocol and less often via CHAP.
+
+Operating Modes
+---------------
+
+VyOS supports setting up PPPoe in two different ways to a PPPoE internet
+connection. This is due to most ISPs provide a modem that is also a wireless
+router.
+
+Home Users
+**********
+
+In this method, the DSL Modem/Router connects to the ISP for you with your
+credentials preprogrammed into the device. This gives you an :rfc:`1918`
+address, such as ``192.168.1.0/24`` by default.
+
+For a simple home network using just the ISP's equipment, this is usually
+desirable. But if you want to run VyOS as your firewall and router, this
+will result in having a double NAT and firewall setup. This results in a
+few extra layers of complexity, particularly if you use some NAT or
+tunnel features.
+
+Business Users
+**************
+
+In order to have full control and make use of multiple static public IP
+addresses, your VyOS will have to initiate the PPPoE connection and control
+it. In order for this method to work, you will have to figure out how to make
+your DSL Modem/Router switch into a Bridged Mode so it only acts as a DSL
+Transceiver device to connect between the Ethernet link of your VyOS and the
+phone cable. Once your DSL Transceiver is in Bridge Mode, you should get no
+IP address from it. Please make sure you connect to the Ethernet Port 1 if
+your DSL Transeiver has a switch, as some of them only work this way.
+
+Once you have an Ethernet device connected, i.e. `eth0`, then you can
+configure it to open the PPPoE session for you and your DSL Transceiver
+(Modem/Router) just acts to translate your messages in a way that
+vDSL/aDSL understands.
+
+Configuration Example
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Requirements:
+
+* Your ISPs modem is connected to port ``eth0`` of your VyOS box.
+* No VLAN tagging required by your ISP.
+* You need your PPPoE credentials from your DSL ISP in order to configure
+ this. The usual username is in the form of name@host.net but may vary
+ depending on ISP.
+* The largest MTU size you can use with DSL is 1492 due to PPPoE overhead.
+ If you are switching from a DHCP based ISP like cable then be aware that
+ things like VPN links may need to have their MTU sizes adjusted to work
+ within this limit.
+* With the ``default-route`` option set to ``auto``, VyOS will only add the
+ default gateway you receive from your DSL ISP to the routing table if you
+ have no other WAN connections. If you wish to use a dual WAN connection,
+ change the ``default-route`` option to ``force``.
+* With the ``name-server`` option set to ``none``, VyOS will ignore the
+ nameservers your ISP sens you and thus you can fully rely on the ones you
+ have configured statically.
-For a simple home network using just the ISP's equipment, this is usually desirable. But if you want to run VyOS as your firewall and router, this will result in having a double NAT and firewall setup. This results in a few extra layers of complexity, particularly if you use some NAT or tunnel features.

-**Second Method:** (Common for Businesses)

+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 duplex auto

+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 name-server 'auto'

- set interface ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 name-server auto
- set interface ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 user-id <PPPoE Username>
- set interface ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 password <PPPoE Password>
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 firewall in name NET-IN
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 firewall local name NET-LOCAL
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 firewall out name NET-OUT
+VLAN Example
+++++++++++++
-* You should add a firewall to your configuration above as well by assigning it to the pppoe0 itself as shown here:
+Some recent ISPs require you to build the PPPoe connection through a VLAN
+interface. One of those ISPs is e.g. Deutsche Telekom in Germany. VyOS
+can easily create a PPPoe session through an encapsulated VLAN interface.
+The following configuration will run your PPPoE connection through VLAN7
+which is the default VLAN for Deutsche Telekom:
.. code-block:: sh
- set interface ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 firewall in name NET-IN
- set interface ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 firewall local name NET-LOCAL
- set interface ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 firewall out name NET-OUT
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 description "DSL Modem"
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 duplex auto
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 smp_affinity auto
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 speed auto
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 7 pppoe 0 default-route 'auto'
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 7 pppoe 0 mtu '1492'
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 7 pppoe 0 name-server 'auto'
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 7 pppoe 0 user-id 'userid#0001@t-online.de'
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 7 pppoe 0 password 'secret'
-* You need your PPPoE credentials from your DSL ISP in order to configure this. The usual username is in the form of name@host.net but may vary depending on ISP.
-* The largest MTU size you can use with DSL is 1492 due to PPPoE overhead. If you are switching from a DHCP based ISP like cable then be aware that things like VPN links may need to have their MTU sizes adjusted to work within this limit.

-QinQ (802.1ad_) — allows multiple VLAN tags to be inserted into a single frame.
+IEEE 802.1ad was an Ethernet networking standard informally known as QinQ as
+an amendment to IEEE standard :ref:`vlan-interface`. 802.1ad was incorporated
+into the base 802.1q standard in 2011. The technique is also known as provider
+bridging, Stacked VLANs, or simply QinQ or Q-in-Q. "Q-in-Q" can for supported
+devices apply to C-tag stacking on C-tag (Ethernet Type = 0x8100).
-QinQ can be used to tunnel vlans in a vlan.
+The original 802.1q specification allows a single Virtual Local Area Network
+(VLAN) header to be inserted into an Ethernet frame. QinQ allows multiple
+VLAN tags to be inserted into a single frame, an essential capability for
+implementing Metro Ethernet network topologies. Just as QinQ extends 802.1Q,
+QinQ itself is extended by other Metro Ethernet protocols.
-**vif-s** and **vif-c** stand for the ethertype tags that get set:
+In a multiple VLAN header context, out of convenience the term "VLAN tag" or
+just "tag" for short is often used in place of "802.1Q VLAN header". QinQ
+allows multiple VLAN tags in an Ethernet frame; together these tags constitute
+a tag stack. When used in the context of an Ethernet frame, a QinQ frame is a
+frame that has 2 VLAN 802.1Q headers (double-tagged).
-The inner tag is the tag which is closest to the payload portion of the frame; it is officially called C-TAG (Customer tag, with ethertype 0x8100).
-The outer tag is the one closer/closest to the Ethernet header; its name is S-TAG (Service tag, ethertype 0x88a8).
+In VyOS the terms **vif-s** and **vif-c** stand for the ethertype tags that

+Portions of the network which are VLAN-aware (i.e., IEEE 802.1q conformant)
+can include VLAN tags. When a frame enters the VLAN-aware portion of the
+network, a tag is added to represent the VLAN membership. Each frame must
+be distinguishable as being within exactly one VLAN. A frame in the
+VLAN-aware portion of the network that does not contain a VLAN tag is
+assumed to be flowing on the native VLAN.
+
+The standard was developed by IEEE 802.1, a working group of the IEEE 802
+standards committee, and continues to be actively revised. One of the
+notable revisions is 802.1Q-2014 which incorporated IEEE 802.1aq (Shortest
+Path Bridging) and much of the IEEE 802.1d standard.

VXLAN
-----
-VXLAN is an overlaying Ethernet over IP protocol, it's described in :rfc:`7348`.
+:abbr:`VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN)` is a network virtualization technology
+that attempts to address the scalability problems associated with large cloud
+computing deployments. It uses a VLAN-like encapsulation technique to
+encapsulate OSI layer 2 Ethernet frames within layer 4 UDP datagrams, using
+4789 as the default IANA-assigned destination UDP port number. VXLAN
+endpoints, which terminate VXLAN tunnels and may be either virtual or physical
+switch ports, are known as :abbr:`VTEPs (VXLAN tunnel endpoints)`.
+
+VXLAN is an evolution of efforts to standardize on an overlay encapsulation
+protocol. It increases scalability up to 16 million logical networks and
+allows for layer 2 adjacency across IP networks. Multicast or unicast with
+head-end replication (HER) is used to flood broadcast, unknown unicast,
+and multicast (BUM) traffic.
+
+The VXLAN specification was originally created by VMware, Arista Networks
+and Cisco. Other backers of the VXLAN technology include Huawei, Broadcom,
+Citrix, Pica8, Big Switch Networks, Cumulus Networks, Dell EMC, Ericsson,
+Mellanox, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Red Hat, Joyent, and Juniper Networks.
+
+VXLAN was officially documented by the IETF in :rfc:`7348`.
If configuring VXLAN in a VyOS virtual machine, ensure that MAC spoofing
(Hyper-V) or Forged Transmits (ESX) are permitted, otherwise forwarded frames
may be blocked by the hypervisor.
+.. note:: As VyOS is based on Linux and there was no official IANA port assigned
+ for VXLAN, VyOS uses a default port of 8472. You can change the port on a
+ per VXLAN interface basis to get it working accross multiple vendors.
