Hello to everybody.
My problem is, I need to let connect a pppoe client without any authentication type. I want the box accept the conection of a particular client under this conditions. I know that it is unlogical, but there is some situations where I donĀ“t have access to the cpe and I need that the cpe connect. I had searched some info about this but I can't found nothing. I tried some things on the freeradius but nothing. I have tried from users of the secrets but neither got good result.
Anyone know you could do in these cases?

Thanks in advance !!!
Regards

Hi EzeCba,
pppoe is by itself an authentication protocol therefore having it without authentication is a non-sense.
Anyway I have couple of ideas which can fulfil your requirements:
#1: have a device (which can be a RouterBOARD or a PC) in your control behind the CPE which is not in your control open the pppoe connection with authentication
#2: Route a special subnet in your network and give the customer an ip of that subnet, in this way customer will have access without any kind of authentication
