Shifting from Static IP to PPPoE

[anmolbhard004]

Today was trying to shift from my static to PPPoE but each time I put the credentials in the router it simply can't connect.
Airtel Router is Nokia 2425G A
Have tried both the possible passwords { both account no prepaid one and postpaid }
but still, it won't connect.
PPPoE session is running on the Nokia modem and internet is working , I plan to dial it on my own router.

Response of router on dialing pppoe "pppoe-out1: terminating... - failed to authenticate ourselves to peer"
On Nokia Router page log section the password mentioned is my prepaid account no tried that as well . Any help would be appreciated/

failed to authenticate ourselves to peer

First off,

• Stop using the web ui. Install winbox and please use that or the CLI. With routeros, there is really no reason to be using webui.
• Ping your LCO / ISP about this. Maybe you need to get mac binding reset if they use that or your username / password has not been activated yet(after switch away from static ip?). They can explain, we can't.
• If you need more information, Run a packet capture on the underlying ethernet interface, try to connect and then look at this packet capture in wireshark. The PPP traffic will contain a more exact reason(or rather the actual reason returned by the AC at the other end) than a generic couldn't authenticate.

@ishanjain28 now using winbox have pinged ISP about this

how do I use this data ?

 

[ishanjain28]

In the search bar at the top, type ppp press enter. There will be a set of packets when it tried to connect to AC. There you should be able to see the exact reason

@ishanjain28 mac binding reset works back to pppoe, cancelled the static

Interesting, didn't know airtel does MAC binding

It doesnt. My Static v4 used to work on multiple routers and in bridge mode as well.

@albonycal they do I took a airtel business broadband for my hospital 2 days ago tried dialling pppoe from my TP-Link it didnt work have again asked to repeat the same procedure.
Also they have changed dsl id from xxxxxxxx_dsl to xxxxxxxxxx_wifi
