A Raspberry-Pi as a PPPoE Server?

(1/3) > >>

burakkucat:
It would, occasionally, be useful to have a local PPPoE server for testing purposes.

* Would a Raspberry-Pi provide sufficient hardware resources for a PPPoE server?
* Has anyone built, configured and used such a server?
* Are there clear, concise, details available for the above?
* If not, would someone like to create such a guide?

It was back in the days of dial-up when I last tried setting up a machine as a PPP server. It was fairly straightforward, so I wonder how hard it can be to add the "oE" part?

Anyway, here's an old post from someone who tried to get a PPPoE server running. It (rightly) notes that PPP itself has no real notion of the client or server side - the two are point-to-point peers.

It is generic Linux, rather than Pi-specific.

This post has a Pi acting as radius server, but leaves the PPPoE to a Mikrotik. Close, but no cigar.

Thank you for those two links. It looks as if the former, although rather old in terms of the software, covers the relevant steps.

I guess you've found this by now? ;)

I hadn't seen that thread . . . So thank you for mentioning it. However it does seem as if the originator was attempting to configure a PPPoE client on the R-Pi.  :-\
