Bug #1767
closed
Unable to modify pppoe interface which is linked to a vlan via WebGUI
100%
Description
In Germany our VDSL provider (T-Com) is using VLAN id 7 for connecting to the internet. So I created VLAN 7 with parent interface sis0. Then I assigned the newly created network port sis0_vlan7 to the WAN interface. Next I changed the interface type of the WAN to PPPoE, entering all necessary login information. The WAN interface is coming up and everything worked fine for me.
But when I try to change the properties of the pppoe0 interface I have no chance to select the correct link interface (sis0_vlan7) because it is not shown in the list of link interfaces. (Yes, I have scrolled down the whole list!). This is really a problem because some other providers need the option "Configure a NULL Service name" and there is no other way to configure this via the WebGUI.
Is this a bug? See my attached screenshots.
I am currently using version: 2.0-RC3 (i386) built on Sun Jul 24 19:56:21 EDT 2011

Not that it matters to the real bug here, but "configure a null service name" is now the default behavior if the service name is left blank, so it's no longer necessary to explicitly check that box.

Hi,
IMHO it's not a real bug - it's just the way it's configured. You create a VLAN and then you assign the VLAN interface to the WAN "interface" on the assign page. After that you change the type from none to pppoe and start configuring the device.
As you never assigned the vlan interface a name (like opt5 or something), it can't show up in the list.
IMHO it's a configuration error (I made the same mistake) - that could be blocked by the WebUI.
Btw. Since when is T-Online using tagged packets for internet access?

Hi Oliver,
from the view of the WAN interface sis0_vlan7 is a network port and the name of this network port was created automatically by pfsense. So there is only the option to rename an interface but not a network port.
Since two years T-Com is offering VDSL and for separating the traffic for IPTV and normal network traffic T-Com is using different VLANs: VLAN ID 8 for IPTV and VLAN ID 7 for normal internet traffic, at least here in Berlin.

Willy Tenner

- Target version changed from 2.0 to 2.1
This is not expected to work on 2.0.
The way you should do is assign the vlan and then go and create a PPP type link from the GUI and selecting the assigned vlan.
After 2.0 this needs fixing.
