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.

These are the WAN ethernet settings with VLAN enabled settings To make the Cisco Meraki router work with with PROXIMUS (Belgium) fiber optic. See the VLAN tagging is enabled with ID 20. 

Additionaly, and to a failover configuation, I've linked up a secondary router to the WAN 2 ethernet port of the CISCO router to work as secodnary. The backup router is a Peplink MAX BR1 Mini 5G which supports celullar data. These are the configuration settings I've used to make it work with the CISCO meraki router: See the DHCP connection method and VLAN tagging enabled.

🎉 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 :
