The difference is that in the setup that I needed the concentrator doesn't provide an IP. The ISP will route the traffic to the IP on the internal interface, so both the PPPoE physical device and the PPPoE device don't have an IP and won't get one either (that's probably why it is called unnumbered). Anyway my ISP has changed the setup so now I've got a static route without PPPoE and that works just fine. Kind regards, Martijn Rijkeboer
