You need a PPPoE server
at each router. (MikroTik is a
perfect solution in this
instance) The routers can authenticate
the users through RADIUS
back at the NOC and allow the
customers a valid path
through the routers.
PPPoE wont work across
routers because it's not IP based.
If
you place router an have multiple subnet, & have implemented PPPOE with
mikrotik.
Do
you need a PPPOE server at each router ??? or just set up 1 PPPOE
server at the NOC.
Just putting a switch
in wont do it. The suggestion was
a switch at each
point in the network that supports VLAN
tagging.
You are better off
routing. It isolates the broadcasts to
that portion of the
network so it doesn't take your entire
network down. (or
slow it significantly)
How to tell? MANY
MANY MANY small packets with a destination
of your broadcast
address on that network segment.
so just added any unmanaged cheap switch
between the two will stop any broadcast traffic? How can you tell if you
are being affected by broadcast problems or any other problems you get
with a bridged network? I do not have problems now but would like to know
what to look for.
Thank you,
Jerry

You can
prevent the broadcast traffic by two ways.
- Having a
router between the CB and the aPPO,
- or creating
VLAN’s by using switches at every POP.

Ok I am
wondering the best way here. I require all my clients to run a router at
there location(Dlink DI-604). I have seen people talk about this topic
and say its much better to run a network that has routers at each access
point site. If all my clients have a router is it ok to just do a client
bridge and access point as a repeater? Will the broadcast storms and
such be stopped because my clients have a router at each location
or could this still become a problem in the future because of the way I
am setting up access points without any routing involved? Should I be
adding a router in between each client bridge appo and the access point
appo?
