Hey, @kevdog @abhay9 @brwainer I have a quick question. The modem supplied by Cincinnati Bell has only one option for encapsulation that is compatible with Pfsense, which is PPPoE. What I am afraid of is there are some options on the Cincinnati Bell equipment they have to enable to make PPPoE encapsulation work on the modem they provided me. Now for my question, Could one of you please explain how PPPoE encapsulation works, and what the advantages and disadvantages of PPPoE encapsulation over IPoE encapsulation, which is the standard Cincinnati Bell has chosen to support.
I just received an email from the local Netgate (pfsense ) dealer, they said all systems are a go, he also mentioned if they give me (Cincinnati Bell) any static please let him know, he would be very interested in why it doesn’t work. He has done quite a few Pfsense installations on Cincinnati Bell’s network.
