Openserve advice needed (Optical Network Terminal (ONT) , Multiple PPPoE + Static IP)

[jroux]

I have searched the forum but can’t find anyone that has managed to setup more than one PPPoE connection using Openserve Fibre.

From what I have seen the Openserve ONT only has one active Ethernet port, and I would like to hook it up to my Mikrotik router and then setup two PPoE connections.

I have a Capped DSL account for work that allows for multiple connections and I want to use it together with a second capped account from a fibre provider.

Does anyone know if the Telkom ONT allows multiple PPoE connections?

Which Fibre ISP’s except for Axxess offers a static IP?

Thanks

Following, would also like to know.

Have you tried setting up 2X PPPOE on say ether1 (the port the ONT is plugged into) on the Mikrotik and seeing if they both go ready as first step?

/interface pppoe-client
add name=pppoe-isp1 user=user password=passwd interface=ether1

interface pppoe-client
add name=pppoe-isp2 user=user password=passwd interface=ether1

Yes, you can do multiple PPPoE connections over it. I set up 2 interfaces on my router, depending on what port was being used. The one was using my Vox account and another a Telkom softcap account.

It works, but I found that the line itself wasn't as responsive as it was before. Luckily only had to do this for a week, and back to using a single PPPoE now.

Yes it works.

I use a VDSL router connected to the ONT that support PPPoE Relay so I can dial pppoe from anything else on the LAN.

I also use a mikrotik router, plugged into the VDSL router, that dials its own ppp session. If mikrotik could bridge pppoe as well (and if it can, please assist), id get rid of the vdsl router.

@whatwhat, I saw no degradation in performance when dialing more than one ppp session; latency was still rock solid, perhaps a performance issue on your specific router.

@eddief1: I still have to order fibre, so can't test this yet

@whatwhat: what router did you use for this? So you had this router directly connected to the ONT, not via a another router that allows for PPPoE relay?

It was the DLink I got from Telkom during the fibre trial.

Router was connected to port 1 on ONT as it's the only enabled port. You can plug anything into it as long as it can create a pppoe connection.
