How to configure zone based firewall on pppoe on vlan?

General questions

Hi Folks,

I’m in the US and trying to configure VyOS with Centurylink fiber. They use PPPOE over a VLAN. I have that configured correctly, but I’m having problems attaching pppoe to the zone-based firewall. I followed the guide here with modifications for my situation: VyOS from Scratch – Edition 1 – blog.kroy.io

Interface setup:

interfaces {
    ethernet eth0 {
        hw-id XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:ac
        vif 201 {
            pppoe 1 {
                default-route auto
                mtu 1492
                name-server none
                password xxxxxx
                policy {
                }
                user-id xxxxxx
            }
        }
    }

But for the life of me I can’t figure out the syntax to attach it as an interface to a zone policy.

Here’s just a small subset of the permutations I tried:

[edit]
    vyos@vyos# set zone-policy zone WAN interface pppoe 1

  Configuration path: zone-policy zone WAN interface pppoe [1] is not valid
  Set failed

[edit]
vyos@vyos# set zone-policy zone WAN interface eth0 pppoe 1

  Configuration path: zone-policy zone WAN interface eth0 [pppoe] is not valid
  Set failed

[edit]
vyos@vyos# set zone-policy zone WAN interface eth0 vif 201 pppoe 1

  Configuration path: zone-policy zone WAN interface eth0 [vif] is not valid
  Set failed

[edit]
vyos@vyos# set zone-policy zone WAN interface eth0.201 pppoe 1

  Configuration path: zone-policy zone WAN interface eth0.201 [pppoe] is not valid
  Set failed

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on appropriate syntax, or a different way I should be approaching this.

Thanks,
Chris

try this

set zone-policy zone WAN interface eth0.201

That allowed it to configure but I’m not sure it worked or not. I was not a good scientist and found one or two other problems also that I changed simultaneously. For this statement I ended up with:

set zone-policy zone WAN interface pppoe1

Now onto traffic shapers :crossed_fingers:

I would get your firewall set up in full and correctly before you add in another config topic.

This is most generally used to proliferate DNS worker settings from an Internet specialist organization to customer machines working on the organization ensured by the firewall!
