Hello Community.

I will setup on CRS112-8G-4S-IN the a PPPoE Server.
Hardware Setup:

CRS112-8G-4S-IN — SFP — SFP — DSLAM ——- FritzBox!

Found this Link: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/PPPoE

How setup a passthrough for DNS and NTP Server?

Thanks Markus

To configure MikroTik RouterOS to be an Access Concentrator (PPPoE Server):

add an address pool for the clients from 10.1.1.62 to 10.1.1.72;
add ppp profile;
add ppp secret (username/password);
add pppoe server itself.
/ip pool 
add name="pppoe-pool" ranges=10.1.1.62-10.1.1.72

/ppp profile 
add name="pppoe-profile" local-address=10.1.1.1 remote-address=pppoe-pool

/ppp secret 
add name=user password=passwd service=pppoe profile=pppoe-profile

/interface pppoe-server server 
add service-name=internet interface=wlan1 default-profile=pppoe-profile disabled=no

NTP is not available as an option. For DNS, use the option dns-server in ppp profile:
/ppp profile 
add name="pppoe-profile" local-address=10.1.1.1 remote-address=pppoe-pool dns-server=1.1.1.1

As CRS112-8G-4S-IN is a switch with some L3 capabilities it is not recommended to be configured as BRAS

Hi Ilir.

Do you have a good tip for a Linux BRAS router?
Thanks for the hint and feedback.
The order for the switch is out. It will be my basis on my network.

I didn't read you were using a CRS. You can consider using RB4011 as BRAS. It's affordable and can handle several hundreds of sessions.
