two pppoe servers in the same network

Fri Sep 26, 2008 1:00 am

Hi!

I have one pppoe server that works on the mikrotik with linux radius. Now i want to make one more pppoe server, but only certain users to need to authenticate on new server, not all.
First server and entire wireless network is in the 172.31.0.0/16 subnet, so how can i make new server to use same network, but only allowed users to authenticate on the new server?

I tried to give second server address that is not in the same range like first, and to make firewall/filter rule to drop all packets from 172.31.0.0/16 subnet, but nothing! server is accepting requests from 172.31.0.0/16 and all mess up.

I using RouterOS 3.11 and linux freeradius

Thanks! :)

MikroTik RouterOS has option,
service-name (text) - the PPPoE service name.

Specify different service-names for PPPoE servers, specify appropriate service-name on the PPPoE client configuration.

Yes this works, but before i made a second PPPoE server, i did not assign a service name to my clients, so all my clients have a blank service name.

SERVER 1 : 172.31.1.1/16 subnet
SERVER 2 : 172.16.1.1/16 subnet
ACCESS POINTS : 172.31.1.x/16 subnet

I want through the same network to authenticate users, but users who don't have a service name tries to authenticate on the second server sometimes.
How can i make second server "invisible" to users who don't have a service name? only visible to users whoes i assign service name? is this posible?
I tried to apply this firewall rule, but nothing: ip firewall filter add chain=input src-address=172.31.0.0/16 action=drop

Thanks! :) :) :)

You need to put those customers and the other PPPoE server on a different VLAN, that is the only other way of solving this, to my knowledge.

I would agree with mducharme. Pppoe clients connect to whatever server answers first. You need to use service-name I'm afraid.
