Setting up PPPoE wired connection in Ubuntu 18.04.1 Bionic Beaver (Desktop Version)
My ISP provides PPPoE connection with username, password and service name and binds my MAC Address. Since I have connected my router to the WAN, the MAC Address of the router has been bound in their server by them. My Desktop has been connected to the router and the network is working fine.
However, for the purpose of troubleshooting the network when it goes down, I need to connect directly to the computer. Therefore, I need to know how to configure a wired PPPoE connection directly in my computer. The network settings GUI does not allow setting up one.
Please guide me how to -
i) configure a PPPoE connection
ii) specify the username, password and service name, and
iii) clone my router's MAC address to my desktop
to be able to connect to the internet.
It would have been better if there was a GUI for this.
Looking forward to the HELP, as I am not quite conversant with Linux commands.
