Does VSX support PPPOE interface?

Hi All,

Does VSX support PPPOE interface?

[Maarten_Sjouw]

My guess would be, only on VS0.
There is no way to configure the PPPoE data in SmartConsole.

Hi Maarten,

Thanks for reply, Is this architecture possible?

[Maarten_Sjouw]

Not to my knowledge as it would require the PPPoE interfaces supported inside the VS itself.

PPPoE is not supported by ClusterXL (sk101747). I think, therefore it will not work in a vsx cluster.

The documentation suggests this is supported.
Or at least it's not listed as unsupported here: https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solut...

As you cannot configure PPPOE when the gateway is in VSX mode (the appropriate commands are blocked per https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solut... ) you probably have to configure them prior to enabling VSX mode on the gateway.
Whether you can achieve the architecture in your gateway I'm not sure.

Hi PhoneBoy,

I setup pppoe interface before VSX, but after enable VSX, I can not choose pppoe interface, only physical interface can be choose. 

So I think VSX didn't support pppoe interface.

just do a 'set vsx off' change the interface settings you need and issue a 'set vsx on' command and you should be ok.
