Multiple Pppoe Connections On Ubiquiti Airos

Sometimes y'all require to force your available hardware as well as software a piddling chip beyond their master specifications. Because AirOS is built on Linux, y'all truly accept a fair chip of flexibility inwards companionship to produce any y'all like.

I had a require to live on able to run multiple PPPoE accounts on the same antenna for 2 reasons. Firstly, when I require to split VoIP traffic from Data traffic, as well as secondly when I accept 2 users behind the same antenna. I as well as then piece of employment VLANs to road the traffic independently.
Now, I produce realize that it would live on easier to position a Mikrotik or ER downstream from the antenna, only I prefer to piece of employment unmarried device solutions where possible.

Step 1:

Set upward your outset PPPoE Client every bit y'all would normally, using the spider web interface.

Step 2:

Using PuTTY (or your favourite SSH Client) connect to the device.

Using vi (or nano) add together the next 2 lines to /etc/persistent/rc.poststart substituting the right username as well as password every bit required.

echo '"Username" * "Password" *' >> /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
pppd ath0 file /var/etc/persistent/options2 &

Step 3:

add together the next lines to /var/etc/persistent/options2 once over again substituting the username for the right one.
