PPPoE Server

[Ivan Iliev]

Hello,

I'm new in *BSD, but I like it very much!

I want to ask you is there any HOWTO for the PPPoE server built in NetBSD.

I tried rp-pppoe, but it has very poor performance on NetBSD.

Thanks in advance,
Ivan Iliev

You set it up just like the pppoe client connection (described in the
networking FAQ).

The only differences are

- you need "options PPPOE_SERVER" in your kernel config
- you add link0 to the ifconfig.pppoe* file
- you probably want to set myauth=none hisauth=... instead of
vice versa in typical client setups for the pppoectl command

Try:

man 4 pppoe

and

man pppoectl

If you are after performance, you may want to try mpd - a daemon that
offers PPPoE server capabilities among other things. It's available only
on FreeBSD.
