Edgerouter POE unable to connect to internet

I'm new to the forum, and to the world of routers.

I've tried to configure thig futer, but have no internet connection. I set router up using the WAN+2LAN2 wizard.

Looking at other posts, its notable that my pppoE IP address is 172.22.37.29/32. This suggests it is in the private range, and implies a username or password error, however both appear to be correct.

Downloading the config file, and comparing with others posted, its noticeable that section showing port forwarding, hairpin enable, wan-interface pppoe is missing, but I may just be misunderstanding the example config file. 

The log file shows 

 

I am not seeing any outbound or inbound traffic

All help gratefully received!

Re: Edgerouter POE unable to connect to internet

Can you post your config?

 

Here is mine for PPPOE authentication:

 

ethernet eth0 {
description "Internet (PPPoE)"
duplex auto
pppoe 0 {
default-route auto
firewall {
in {
name WAN_IN
}
local {
name WAN_LOCAL
}
}
mtu 1492
name-server auto
password ****************
user-id xxx@plusdsl.net
}

Re: Edgerouter POE unable to connect to internet

What actually are you trying to do and what are you connecting it to as this unit is neither an ADSL or FTTC capable router

Re: Edgerouter POE unable to connect to internet

These are enterprise routers, it will be connected to a DSL model Smiley (Hopefully!)

Re: Edgerouter POE unable to connect to internet

The Router is connected to a BT Openreach fibre broadband modem.

Re: Edgerouter POE unable to connect to internet

what format are you using for the username as it should be username@plusdsl.net with your normal account password

Re: Edgerouter POE unable to connect to internet

Good Afternoon,

 

Can you PM me your Plusnet username please. If you're getting a 172.x.x.x IP address, this generally infers that the DSLAM has placed you in the walled garden due to repeated failed connection attempts.  With your username, I can access your account and check that for you.

Re: Edgerouter POE unable to connect to internet

Ah,

 

I have username@plusnetdsl.net.          

 

I'll try that

Re: Edgerouter POE unable to connect to internet

Progress. Thank-you. Changing the username gave me a more valid IP address for pppoE: 

Which is consistent with the WAN IP address

 

But still no internet. Error message is DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET

Log is;;

Re: Edgerouter POE unable to connect to internet

If you've got a valid WAN IP now then that's progress. Looks like your config is somehow preventing access.

Try the following:-

configure
delete interfaces

Paste the following commands, ensure to replace your user/pass in lines 8 and 9.

 

set interfaces ethernet eth0 description 'Internet (PPPoE)'
set interfaces ethernet eth0 duplex auto
set interfaces ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 default-route auto
set interfaces ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 firewall in name WAN_IN
set interfaces ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 firewall local name WAN_LOCAL
set interfaces ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 mtu 1492
set interfaces ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 name-server auto
set interfaces ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 password xxxxxxxx
set interfaces ethernet eth0 pppoe 0 user-id nnnnnnnn
set interfaces ethernet eth0 speed auto
set interfaces ethernet eth1 description Local
set interfaces ethernet eth1 duplex auto
set interfaces ethernet eth1 speed auto
set interfaces ethernet eth2 description Local
set interfaces ethernet eth2 duplex auto
set interfaces ethernet eth2 speed auto
set interfaces ethernet eth3 description Local
set interfaces ethernet eth3 duplex auto
set interfaces ethernet eth3 speed auto
set interfaces ethernet eth4 description Local
set interfaces ethernet eth4 duplex auto
set interfaces ethernet eth4 poe output pthru
set interfaces ethernet eth4 speed auto
set interfaces loopback lo
set interfaces switch switch0 address 192.168.4.1/24
set interfaces switch switch0 description Local
set interfaces switch switch0 mtu 1500
set interfaces switch switch0 switch-port interface eth1
set interfaces switch switch0 switch-port interface eth2
set interfaces switch switch0 switch-port interface eth3
set interfaces switch switch0 switch-port interface eth4
set interfaces switch switch0 switch-port vlan-aware disable

commit

 

 

Then try pinging google from the router Smiley

Re: Edgerouter POE unable to connect to internet

Just to check before I do this - (plus I will have to learn how to download, modify and reload config file).

I have reviewed the code you suggested in the config tree.

I have a bridge br0, with address 192.168.1.1/24. 

Your code doesn't appear to have a bridge - I am assuming this is replaced by the switch switch0.. I assume where your code has switch IP address 192.168.4.1/24 this reflects your individual needs, and I would need 192.168.1.1/24 - or am I incorrect? My bridge br0 has MTU 1500 and description local - as the proposed switch, but does not have any of the interfaces.

Is there a reason for doing a switch rather than a bridge? Would my bridge work if I added interfaces to it - assuming this is a sensible question?

All my other config code looks the same in the config tree

My brid

Re: Edgerouter POE unable to connect to internet

One other point I just noticed - my eth0 address is shown as DHCP, whereas the proposed code has no address shown - is this significant?

Re: Edgerouter POE unable to connect to internet

You are correct.

However my method was to get a simple, working configuration up and running (the one I posted is a basic PPPOE WAN on eth0 with eth1/eth2/eth3/eth0 configured as standard switching (switch0)).

Once it is working you can add your custom configuration to suit your needs, i.e. bridging, etc.
