Hi All

I have a RB450 set up as a pppoe server on interface 5 - with no IP address or dhcp server on the same interface. I use interface 1 for connecting to the internet. How do I get user manager to work in this setup - the manual "even the updated one" is not clear. It states that you should not assign the IP address to the interface that the pppoe server is on so what ip do you use?

I added an address of 10.0.0.1 to interface 3 as nothing is plugged into it, then used that address in the setup:

/ radius add service=ppp address=10.0.0.1 secret=testing

and

/ tool user-manager router add subscriber=admin ip-address=10.0.0.1 shared-secret=testing

I didnt use the following line

/ ppp profile set default local-address=192.168.0.1

because I am using a pool and its something like 10.13.13.1 - 10.13.13.30

The pppoe is up and running as I have the local database populated with users and that works fine. But I have a pppoe client setup with a user thats only created in usermanager to test is the manager will work but no luck. I guess its something to do with the IP address setup as no log is generated in user manager so I can't trouble shoot this. I can access usermanager via the web site at 10.0.0.1/usermanager if I set my laptop to have a static address of 10.0.0.2 and plug it into interface 3.

My interface 5 address is my public ip = 196.211.x.y

shot in advance.

/ radius add service=ppp address=10.0.0.1 secret=testing

and

/ tool user-manager router add subscriber=admin ip-address=10.0.0.1 shared-secret=testing

Replace 10.0.0.1 with the standard loop back ip address, 127.0.0.1

awesome - I'll try that and post back with results.

that seems to have done the trick. Thanks...

Glad to lend a hand. You are welcome.
