What it means
The router sent PPPoE discovery or LCP echo and the ISP side did not answer.
Why it happens
- Cable, ONT/modem or ISP outage.
- Wrong interface or VLAN for PPPoE (some ISPs need a VLAN tag).
- MTU/MRU mismatch on some networks.
How to fix it
- Check the link on ether1 and the ONT lights.
- Bind the PPPoE client to the right VLAN interface if the ISP uses one.
- Set max-mtu/max-mru to 1480 or 1492 as the ISP specifies.
