PPPoE server: Revision 3

Here are my notes how to configure pppoe-server to run as server for ADSL modem.

^ Prerequisits

This list might be incomplete

.pre
apt-get install pppoe

.pre

^ PPP configuration

^^ /etc/ppp/pppoe-server-options

.pre
# PPPoE server
#nologin
mru 1492
noreplacedefaultroute
proxyarp
ms-dns 192.168.1.1
.pre

^^ /etc/ppp/pap-secrets

.pre
# PPPoE server
#client hostname <password> IP
test * "test" *
.pre

^^ /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

.pre
# client server secret IP addresses
test * test *
.pre

^ Configuration

Setup network to start PPPoE server on (we don't really need it, but pppoe-relay requires two interfaces and we need pppoe-relay to respond to PADI requests from ADSL modem)

.pre
ifconfig eth0:1 10.0.0.1 up
.pre

^^ PADI

.pre
pppoe-relay -B eth0:1 -C eth0 -n 1 -F
.pre

^^ PPPoE

.pre
pppoe-server -I eth0:1 -T 60 -C fake -S fake -L 10.0.0.2 -R 10.0.0.10 -N 1 -F
.pre

^ Debugging

To sniff all traffic expect web (I guess that most ADSL modems have web interface) use something like:

.pre
tshark -i eth0 -f '!port 80'
.pre
