Hi, have a customer that I need to replace the Vigor 120 ADSL modem for, this unit bridges pppoa<>pppoe to a Fortigate UTM.

 

I dont have the password details and dread the thought of dealing with the help line, so the question is, are the creds just ignored placeholders as with other ISP's pppoe sessions (ie port based ID) or are they really required, bearing in mind this is a business account.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Cyril

Hi, thanks for the responses so far, what I do know is that Voda insisted on sending their sh!tty Ultra Hub, what a waste of space, anyway the creds loaded in the pppoa session on that did not match what is in the Fortigates pppoe instance (from previous IT company) yet it worked and I got the same static IP.

 

So I am leaning toward thinking the creds are just dummy place holders and port ID is king.

Hi Cyril, 

 

Our connections are port based authenticated, so you can type anything in the username/password fields and you'll be good to go :) 

 

 

 

Thanks
