    You read something on FortiOS Handbook? The field " Initial PADT Timeout" let you shutdown the PPPoE after a X timeout. When some user try to access the internet, the PPPoE will start (on demand) again. regards, Paulo Raponi?

    " The field " Initial PADT Timeout" let you shutdown the PPPoE after a X timeout" Hi pcraponi, I was thinking that this is some definition of the PPPoE negotiation. Are you sure it can do " Idle timeout disconnect" ? Have you used it ? Thanks, Gil
