Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] Multible PPPoE on same NIC?

Hi there - I assume that you are using multiple modems? Should be possible to
create VLANs and have multiple PPPoE sessions, one on each VLAN. You will need
a VLAN capable switch upstream of you pfSense box for connecting the modems,
but I don't see why that wouldn't work.
Are you planning to use mlppp, or something else, like load-balancing?
I use 8 modems on vlans for mlppp and it works great. If you're not
using mlppp and the pppoe sessions will all be using the same gateway
then you may have problems. This does not work in pfsense 1.x, and I
know there's been a lot of discussion in the forums over whether it
works in 2.0 right now. I think not.

True - if you have static IPs with different gateways, this would help. Your
ISP would need to help with ensuring each PPPoE session/IP had a unique gateway.
No, here in Japan with my ISP, I actually just need 1 ONU and even the
NTT default CTU (All-In-One router + modem device )
is able to handle max. 5 PPPoE connections at the same time.
I actually have tested to use 3 separate cheap Buffalo router, all
connected directly to CTU.
CTU config is set as PPPoE pass-thru.
It works without any problem. I was able to run separated PPPoE on each
connected Buffalo router.
It would be great, if I could do same just with one pfSense router.
