IPOE support?

[Kiki]

Is there any clarity on when the MX series will start supporting IPoE?

IPoE is just another name for DHCP.  Configure the MX WAN interface for DHCP and it will work.

@PhilipDAthSo no issues with switching a MX64 from PPPoE to IPoE\DHCP ? As we have an ISP that is dropping PPPoE

[PhilipDAth]

None.  It is usually better, as you get a clean 1500 byte MTU, rather than 1492 bytes with PPPoE.

Thanks @PhilipDAth , this worked for me when configuring a private router with PROXIMUS Belgian ISP for the configuration: Fiber line-> Internet Box -> Step 3. Establish WAN connection on your own router through IPoE session.

🎉 Happy new year all 🎉

In France, the ISPs (such as SFR) are authenticating DHCP request with an attribute (vendor-class-identifier),

Thus, without this option it is not possible for a MX to be in front of the ONT,

Any idea if it will be possible to add this option to the DHCP request on the MX ?

FYI, the option can be added on a linux machine this way :
