PPPoE and CenturyLink, C1000A bridged

Alright,
I am running newest UTM 9.
Modem is an Actiontec C1000A.

It works when I setup PPPoE though the C1000A.
When I set it to transparent bridging, restart, and then use my UTM's WAN interface, set PPPoE VDSL is checked, put in username and password.

Then, watching PPPoE logs, I am seeing PADI packets going out to broadcast MAC address, my MAC as src.  But, getting no PADO back.

Now, the PPP logs are empty.  Am I missing something here?

I see it is using rp-pppoe.

Finally got with a great rep from CenturyLink, only took me 5 calls.  [:)]  But he said on his side, he could see the DSL link, but no authentication coming out.

Should I be seeing stuff in PPP?

WAN interface card is a RealTek card, if that helps any.  I can get more info if needed.

Hey Max, you need to post a bit more! That's the first linked image I've seen here.

No, I didn't.
If the C1000A is in transparent bridge mode, it shouldn't have an IP.  Which is why you can't really admin it after bridging.
Glad you got it working!  Gratz!

Your WAN interface on the UTM should grab an IP as part of it's PPPoE process.  And it looks like it did!  [:)]

I have a web server that has to use an external ip address. Does that mean I need to setup pppoe on the server to have it sit next to the UTM?

I have attached a diagram of what I think I need. Can anyone confirm?

Hi, you can use DNAT (and SNAT if needed) to forward external traffic to the server.

I wish it was that easy. That is what I would like to do, but cpanel requires the server to have the public ip assigned to it.

OK.

Unless your router and ISP allow 2 devices, then your plan won't work.

Also, you might try Proxy ARP on the firewall first.
