WAN not getting IP
-
Yes, always be careful when entering data to online,
you know privacy.
This is a rushing world! -
@DaddyGo Yes hahaha, maybe ill get in contact with O2 because it's like an OMV for Movistar, also in my building the entire FTTH installation is propietary from Movistar, they install like a combo router with an integrated ONT, so it's way easier to get the data from them, I need to think for it before, also I need to purchase the sfp+ pcie card so I can get rid of everything...
Maybe in a couple of months ill reply back with a working pfSense connection, who knows hahaha, today im sad honestly, such stupid lockdowns makes no sense tbh. -
The problem is that on the Altice Network (in Spain and Portugal is same), ONT and Router are paired.
Custom router at FW and MAC level, so you will always need an ISP router, only one provider will allow bridge mode, some will not.
So SFP is not a solution, consider this. -
@DaddyGo Then im fully screwed, because I think any ISP here in Spain doesn't allow such things... (my brain works faster than my fingers 2nd edit)
-
Here in Portugal, only companies are given purely GPON ONT terminals, individuals can only use ONT / router combos.
A clean ONT installation allows you not to use PPPOE because it is not a solution, it is a tunnel protocol with many advantages and for us its drawbacks, like MTU, like IPS with netmap
-
@DaddyGo Need to say that the OLT my ISP is working on is orange and the OLT is a ZTE C300, as I know you can't pair ONT and OLT from diferrent vendors, maybe at the end it will work with some major/minor tweaks.
-
Definitely not!
I have worked a lot with different ISPs I am also familiar with DOCSIS and FTTH networks.
It is true that the system must be homogeneous, but for example we used Cisco CMTS heads along with SageCom cable modems
, So this is not a rule of thumb!The GPON standard system and endpoint protection structure itself will not allow fraud, unless you access the optics distributor on the street. :-) hihihih

BTW, I am not portuguese I only live here for 8 years, if that puts your thoughts in order.........vecino
-
@DaddyGo Just asking, because I have a friend that works for Vodafone and he makes the FTTH installation and told me that here in spain he saw people that actually did that, put the ONT->generic router, that's why I asked.
-
The structure of Vodafone GPON is completely different, Altice has been dealing with this structure for a long time, a bit of an old philosophy, but it works.
I have a 1000/800 connection with almost perfect speed maintenance. -
@DaddyGo Then I need to find the right ISP which gives the enough freedom to use our own equipment, well I think it's enough for today, Im not going to think about this anymore because it get's me sad, glad to talk to you honestly, now im gonna put my network back and play a little BDO to de-stress me, on monday Ill try to make some calls to check if that's even posible to reasign the MAC of the ONT to my own router. Thanks so much honestly, I'll update this thread as I have more info hahaha, by now im gonna go offline, not gonna steal more of your time, have a great rest of the day.

Have a nice weekend :-)
