To configure a PPPoE client on MikroTik, you need to:
Set the client interface (usually ether1 or another WAN-facing port).
Optionally add NAT masquerading to enable LAN users to reach the internet.
IP address on the interface is assigned dynamically from the ISP after PPPoE negotiation, so a static IP is not required.
Option Analysis:
A.✔Required – You must select the interface that initiates the PPPoE connection.
B.✘Not Required – The IP is typically assigned by the PPPoE server (ISP).
C.✔Required – NAT masquerade is commonly used to allow internet access for private IP clients behind the router.
Extract from MTCNA Course Material – PPPoE Client Setup:
“The PPPoE client must have an interface specified. A NAT masquerade rule is recommended for internet access sharing.”
Extract from René Meneses MTCNA Study Guide – PPPoE:
“You do not need to assign a static IP to the PPPoE client interface. IP is received after successful login.”
Extract from MikroTik Wiki – PPPoE Client:
“After setting up the interface and credentials, PPPoE client negotiates and receives dynamic IP. Add NAT if routing LAN traffic.”
