How would i fix the xgs wan trouble? -
@sammy2netgo Probably have to get an ONT from your provider if the sfp doesn't work.

@jarhead
I found another interesting thing in logs:
Dhcp client on wan ix1 pid 49709 dhcpdiscover on ix1 to
255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 what does that mean ? -
@sammy2netgo You don't have a wan right now. Yiou will see all kinds of errors on it. Disregard them until you figure out how to get a connection.
Did you do Stephens suggestions yet??
-
@jarhead no not yet,Is there a way i can execute this through command prompt of the netgate ?I didnt setup my system for ssh yet
-
@sammy2netgo Go back and read my posts
-
@jarhead
Already did no errors detected in system os boot
I see php-fpm pid 54859 /interfaces.php:accept router
advertisements on interface ix1
Which is my wan -
@sammy2netgo Are you sure you read it???
-
Or just enable SSH which is one checkbox:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/config/advanced-admin.html#secure-shell-sshOr use the console directly.
But there's a good chance you can't create a connection directly using just the module. And the code to separate the WAN data from other available services may not exist in pfSense.

few questions to the OP or others
I was able to get the gpon sfp unit to work but now working on xgs-pon. No mater what I plug the xgs-pon unit into I can not get it to light up and detected.
My primary question is those with the xgs-pon sfp+ unit did you at least get the option to select that unit? I just want to make sure it is not a dead unit. -
Does pfSense even show the module is present in
ifconfig -vvv? -
@stephenw10
Nothing. But it does look like this is basically a all in one media converter in a Sfp form factor. Not a true sfp+ unit for a nic card.I hope eventually we can use a proper sfp+ unit as xgs-pon gets more common
-
Mmm, no way it can link if the NIC doesn't even see the module as present.
Maybe a power requirement issue?
-
The problem from my understanding is this is not a proper transceiver. It’s more a interface from the Fiber to the xgspon onu. Need something with a MAC address capability and this does not offer it.
