After little searching (did not made extensive search) I found out that from Mikrotik Firewall, you cannot block PPPoE request as it works on BROADCAST. Some times its not just possible to visit at user end to tell him that turn off his router / remove his cable from the switch, OR if you are running layer2 un managed switches, OR you simply don’t want to visit that user. PPPOE or Point-to-Point Protocol Over Ethernet is a common connection used to authenticate users and account for their traffic. ![]() We will also setup Mikrotik as a PPPOE server and configure a Mikrotik PPPOE client. You can ignore it if the number is low, but some times it becomes annoying to see such messages, and also if you are very short in space with lower model of RB, then it will gonna become issue for you. In this article we will cover the basics of Mikrotik Radius and the attributes it supports. But the problem begins that if the user account gets expired BUT the router will keep retrying PPPoE dialer again n again 24 hours a day, and imagine if you have lots of routers doing this sort of flooding/bombing, you will see only PPPoE failed authentication messages in Mikrotik logs and you wont be able to see any other valid info due-to continuous logging of failed auth messages. Usually PPPoE dialer is configured in user WiFi ROUTER. If you are running a network or ISP/WISP, and using Mikrotik as a PPPoE server, then you may have ran into this problem that many users have configured wifi router at there home to share internet between mobile/laptop and other devices, its common now a days.
