Edge Router Reconnect¶

Occasionally the Edge Router will loose the PPPoE connection, and won't automatically get it back.

Login via SSH and run the following:

disconnect interface pppoe0
connect interface pppoe0

Inspecting the logs can help to identify the issue.

I suspect that LCP ConfReq lines are relevant - see the repeats before pppoe0 is disconnected in the sample output below.

Command

show interfaces pppoe pppoe0 log
