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 RFC1918_ 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. - -**Second Method:** (Common for Businesses) - -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. - -**Here is an example configuration:** - -.. code-block:: none - - set interface ethernet eth0 description "DSL Modem" - set interface ethernet eth0 duplex auto - set interface ethernet eth0 smp_affinity auto - set interface ethernet eth0 speed auto - set interface ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 default-route auto - set interface ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 mtu 1492 - 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> - - -* You should add a firewall to your configuration above as well by assigning it to the pppoe0 itself as shown here: - -.. code-block:: none - - 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 - -* 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``. - -Handling and troubleshooting ----------------------------- - -You can test connecting and disconnecting with the below commands: - -.. code-block:: none - - disconnect interface 0 - connect interface 0 - - -You can check the PPPoE connection logs with the following: - -This command shows the current statistics, status and some of the settings (i.e. MTU) for the current connection on pppoe0. - -.. code-block:: none - - show interfaces pppoe 0 - -This command shows the entire log for the PPPoE connection starting with the oldest data. Scroll down with the <space> key to reach the end where the current data is. - -.. code-block:: none - - show interfaces pppoe 0 log - - -This command shows the same log as without the 'tail' option but only starts with the last few lines and continues to show added lines until you exit with ``Ctrl + x`` - -.. code-block:: none - - show interfaces pppoe 0 log tail - -.. _RFC1918: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1918 |
