Re: [Astlinux-devel] Dual PPPoE

[Michael K. <mic...@ip...>]

Thanks Lonnie

Yes I suspected so but thought I better put it out there.
Yes I can put the PPPoE credentials in the modem to turn it into a router but most of the DSL modems don't make good routers in my opinion.
And yes I agree that 4G/LTE is a better option but I have some customers where I need two fixed network connections.

I will work something out.

Thanks.

    Hi Michael,
    
    There is only support of a single PPPoE connection in Astlinux.  Though a person could hack in a 2nd PPPoE connection manually via rc.elocal, not recommended.
    
    Just as an aside, wouldn't a 4G/LTE failover for a PPPoE primary be better than a PPPoE failover for a PPPoE primary ?  Seems two PPPoE would have a lot in common.
    
    Also, if you don't mind if the failover PPPoE connection is behind NAT for failover, you could put your PPPoE credentials in the failover PPPoE modem.

    PS, Michael, you asked about adding some WireGuard features in the past, some/most have been added in the current Pre-Release for testing.
