PPPoE on FMC

andre.ortega — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 13:58:54 GMT

Hello there,

I am configuring PPPoE on Firepower Management Center (using ASA5506 w/ FTD software), but I didn't find the option to configure "set route", to the firewall learn the default gateway through PPPoE.

Does anyone know how to do that (enable the option set route on FMC)?

Best Regards.

On version 6.2 we have

On version 6.2 we have flexconfig... but it also doesnt support the command "set route" 😞

PPPoE on FTD - set route option?

Hi,

I need to deploy an FTD with an Internet circuit using PPPoE too.

I do hope it uses the set route option by default!

Anybody done this before?

Regards,

Matt.

Are you able to share screenshots of your PPPOE configuration from the FMC? Would be greatly appreciated if you could do as i've been banging my head against a wall with this for hours, I get the IP from the ISP but no route 😞

Hi,

Here is the screenshot....

I can't remember if "Enable Route Settings" actually has to be checked or not. There is no static default route configured through the FMC so the FTD is learning it from the ISP. On the CLI you can see the set route option is enabled under the interface.

If you are getting the IP from the ISP then your PAP/CHAP credentials must be right. Try checking "Enable Route Settings" and see if that works. Otherwise I suggest you talk to the ISP and see what they say?

Hope this helps,

Matt.

That tick box did it, thank you so much!

This is the way cisco word it in their "Interfaces for Firepower Threat Defense" PDF that I found

"Enable Route Settings—To manually configure the PPPoE IP address, check this box and then enter the IP Address."

So the functionality is different in reality (as is often the case ...)

For anyone else who has this issue here is my settings for a BT Infinity connection in the United Kingdom:
