2Degrees VDSL: Using PPPoE with a Mikrotik router and HG630b modem

Hi all,

I'm with 2Degrees for my VDSL (formerly SNAP as far as I can tell but they'd changed before I signed up). I want to move my FritzBox out of the job it's doing as a firewall and router and relegate it to be nothing but a wifi gateway and handle phones.

I have my old Spark VDSL modem - an HG630b - which I can get to connect via VDSL to 2Degrees just fine. It works nicely in either bridged mode or handling the PPPoE and routing itself - I get internets.

I want to run in bridged mode and use my shiny Mikrotik router - a CCR1009-7G-1C-1S+ - to handle the PPPoE and routing.

I have switched the HG630b into bridged mode, bound to eth4 (keeping eth1 for management etc).

I have created a VLAN on eth1 on the Mikrotik with VLAN-ID 10, then created a pppoe client connection and bound it to the newly created VLAN.

If I run a PPPoE scan on the VLAN, I can see "SNAP-69" and a MAC address, suggesting that it's working correctly, but I can't get the PPPoE client state to do anything other just sit at "Connecting...".

When I unplug the phone line from the HG630b it switches status to: "disconnected".

My setup:

Regular boring ethernet cable from ether1 on the Mikrotik to LAN4 on the HG630b

Does anyone know where I'm going wrong?

Many thanks and kind regards,
