      Their ARP table had my laptop’s MAC address lodged in it

      Yeah that for sure would cause you grief ;) Glad you got it sorted.. But wouldn't you be able to remove power from the ont? That would for sure reboot it --- heheh.

        I certainly learned something.

        even from my ISP (L2 eng.) age I can think of these, which were the rigid settings of the network security:

        DHCP MAC Address Exclusion List
        Prerequisites for GPON DHCP Leasequery

        these are parameters configured on the "head - end" that are sometimes good, sometimes bad

        😉

          @johnpoz: So would that ISP ARP table reside in the ONT or in their data center equipment. I am not sure how transparent the ONT is. As far as I understand it is merely a physical-layer bridge.

            Normally a true hardware bridge wouldn't have a arp table.. But I am not up to speed on those devices..

            They are a bit more involved than just a simple bridge.. Do you have a specific model number.. There are many different ways an ISP might be setup.. I doubt the device they deployed to you is just a simple hardware bridge..

              They can be configured in different ways, as several types of services are available through it (DATA, VoIP, IPTV, etc).

              They (ONT) usually do not act as a network bridge, this is how ARP appears:
              (All configurations are received from OLT after proper authentication, therefore difficult to hack)

                @daddygo: “Mathematics: The Beautiful Language of the Universe”

                Mathematics is the body of truths about numbers. Truth is the Logos, the second person of the Trinity who said about himself, “I am the Truth, the Way, and the Life.”

                  Hmmm,

                  Yeah, I graduated with a degree in mathematics in the early 90s, but I don't remember it anymore...🙃

                  BTW:

                  I didn't rotate the Bible much, only once I read it, because I think it’s mandatory...

                  somehow in my reading, math and faith, opposite poles

                    Not the way I see it. If, in fact, the Son, the second person of the Trinity, is Truth, then the pursuit of truth and mathematics and the pursuit of theological truth are merely different aspects of the same object of study.

                    Beyond that, though, the thing that already shocked the ancient Greeks was that that Principle, which was the logical conclusion of every action having a cause and that there had to be one original cause, is a person and a person who entered His own creation. That’s why Christmas is such a big deal. He did that, in order to make us oh-so-limited creatures members of His family. He wants to have an eternal relationship with you, and me, and every other human being. That’s the Good News, the Gospel.

                        Thanks for your reply, really.

                        I already understand you, but we have different points of view and opinions. I have been and will remain an atheist all my life.

                        Perhaps this is due to the technical approach, the "creator" cannot show much on this subject...

                        I have to say that I have always respected religions, and it remains so.
                        I always like to talk to religious people because we see the world from different perspectives.

                        BTW:
                        and as long as we live we learn ✋

                          Don't worry John, only people are talking.
                          Aren't you used to it? :)

                          +++edit:
                          it is only such an aftershock as in the case of volcanoes

                            @johnpoz: I just responded to @DaddyGo’s religious statement about beauty and mathematics in his signature. It was just a “BTW.”
