Title:
Unable to create a PPPoE connection in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
My ISP provides PPPoE connection with username, password and service
name and binds my MAC Address. Since I have connected my router to
the WAN, the MAC Address of the router has been bound in their server
by them. Whereas the IP Address and Gateway are set to be
automatically obtained, and DNS addresses are manually given. My
Desktop has been connected to the router and the network is working
fine.
However, for the purpose of troubleshooting the network when it goes
down, I need to connect directly to the computer. Therefore, I need
to know how to configure a wired PPPoE connection directly in my
computer, which has only one NIC. The network settings GUI does not
allow setting up one.
Please guide me how to -
i) configure a PPPoE connection
ii) specify the username, password and service name, and
iii) clone my router's MAC address to my desktop
to be able to connect to the internet. The GUI provided in Ubuntu
18.04 Bionic Beaver (which is what I am using) does not provide for
creating a PPPoE connection. The GUI should also allow use of a
cloned MAC address for the PPPoE connection.
After referring to various community posts, I tried the following
command (though I am not quite conversant with Linux commands) :
nmcli connection add con-name "..." type pppoe username ... password
... service ... parent (iface name of the NIC) autoconnect no ifname
"*" save yes
The pppoe connection gets created but vanishes from the "Settings ->
Network" GUI under "Wired" category after some time and some times
gets listed under "Bluetooth" category (under Network Settings) before
vanishing.
Also, neither the command nor the GUI, allows me to specify a cloned
MAC address to the connection created using the above command.
Please get this issue addressed at the earliest.
