==Introduction==

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a specification for connecting multiple computer users on an Ethernet local area network to a remote site through common customer premises equipment, which is the telephone company's term for a modem and similar devices. PPPoE can be used to have an office or building-full of users share a common Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), cable modem, or wireless connection to the Internet. PPPoE combines the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), commonly used in dialup connections, with the Ethernet protocol, which supports multiple users in a local area network. The PPP protocol information is encapsulated within an Ethernet frame.


This article provides a guide on how to configure '''PPPoE''' server on Mikrotik and how to connect RUTX router, Windows computer to it.
==Prerequisites==

* Any RUTXxx device.
* One MikroTik router (this guide was created by using MikroTik RB750Gr3).
* Windows 10 computer. (Mikrotik and RUTXxx configuration will also work with other OS platforms) 
* WinBox application (it is used to access the MikroTik router).

==Topology==

==Mikrotik (server) configuration==

Connect to MikroTik by using '''WinBox''' application and follow all the further steps to create PPPoE server
on LAN port 5.

# Open '''Bridge''' settings.
# Navigate to '''Ports''' section.
# Select '''ether5'''.
# Press '''Delete'''.

[[File:Networking_rutx_configuration_example_mikrotik_pppoe_2_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

# Open '''IP''' settings.
# Select '''Pool''' settings.
# Press '''Add''' button.
# Create a '''Name''' (anything you want).
# Write '''Addresses''', it is an address range which will be used for PPPoE clients (in this tutorial I used 192.168.5.10-192.168.5.20).
# Press '''Apply'''.
# Press '''Ok'''.

[[File:Networking_rutx_configuration_example_mikrotik_pppoe_3_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

# If you have closed the window, open '''PPP''' settings again.
# Select '''Secrets'''.
# Press '''Add''' button.
# Create a '''Name''' (it will be later used to connect PPPoE server).
# Create a '''Password''' (it will be later used to connect PPPoE server).
# Press '''Apply'''.
# Press '''Ok'''.

[[File:Networking_rutx_configuration_example_mikrotik_pppoe_5_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

# If you have closed the window, open '''PPP''' settings again.
# Select '''Profiles'''.
# Press '''Add'''.
# Create a '''Name'''.
# Set '''Local Address''' (select your LAN IP-Pool).
# Set '''Remote Address''' (select PPPoE IP-Pool which you recently created).
# Press '''Apply'''.
# Press '''Ok'''.

[[File:Networking_rutx_configuration_example_mikrotik_pppoe_6_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

# If you have closed the window, open '''PPP''' settings again.
# Select '''PPPoE''' Servers.
# Double click the '''PPPoE server''', which you created before.
# Change '''Default Profile''' to PPPoE.
# Press '''Apply'''.
# Press '''Ok'''.

# Open '''IP''' settings.
# Select '''Firewall'''.
# Select '''NAT'''.
# Press '''Add'''.
# Write '''Src. Address''' (PPPoE server address).
# Select '''Action''' (masquarade).
# Press '''Apply'''.
# Press '''Ok'''.

==RUTXxx client configuration==

Access RUTXxx WebUI, go to '''Network > LAN''' and then press '''Edit''' LAN button.

[[File:Networking_rutx_configuration_example_mikrotik_pppoe_9_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

Change '''Protocol''' to '''PPPoE'''.

[[File:Networking_rutx_configuration_example_mikrotik_pppoe_10_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

Then it will ask you '''“Really switch protocol?”''' press '''SWITCH PROTOCOL'''.

[[File:Networking_rutx_configuration_example_mikrotik_pppoe_11_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

Write '''Username''' and '''Password''' which you recently created in MikroTik '''Secrets''' settings. And then press '''SAVE & APPLY'''. You will lose connection to your router as soon as you save the settings.

[[File:Networking_rutx_configuration_example_mikrotik_pppoe_12_v1.png.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

Now plug MikroTik router’s port 5 to any of the RUTXxx LAN ports.

==Windows 10 client configuration==

Connect your PC to any of the remaining RUTXxx LAN ports. Go to '''Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center'''.  Then press '''Set up a new connection or network'''.

[[File:Networking_rutx_configuration_example_mikrotik_pppoe_13_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

Select '''Connect to the Internet''' and then press '''Next'''.

[[File:Networking_rutx_configuration_example_mikrotik_pppoe_14_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

If you alread have internet, select '''Set up a new connection anyway''', if you don’t, skip this step.

[[File:Networking_rutx_configuration_example_mikrotik_pppoe_15_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

Select '''Broadband (PPPoE)'''.

[[File:Networking_rutx_configuration_example_mikrotik_pppoe_16_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

Write '''User name''' and '''Password''' (use the same ones, you used to connect the router) and press '''Connect'''.

[[File:Networking_rutx_configuration_example_mikrotik_pppoe_17_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

When it is done connecting it will show this message:
