Installed pfsense but no internet

@stephenw10 changing the MAC address didn't work :(
-
Ok, it's unlikely to be MAC locked if it's GPON. Can you tell us who your ISP is? BT?
I wouldn't expect anything special to be required here but some ISPs do odd things. It might require a specific client identifier or VLAN.

@bagman said in Installed pfsense but no internet:
SDX 611 GPON
Its an Adtran!

Does your ISP use PPPoe or?
Around here a local ISP allows one connection. That is based on the MAC address.. The lease time is over 24 hours. Plug it out Friday night.. it will work Sunday morning.. kind of thing.
-
Oh, right of course
If it's BT (or some 3rd party ISP using them) it will be PPPoE not DHCP. -
@stephenw10 my Isp is Vodafone
-
@chpalmer OK I will power off the Adtran SDX box for over 24 hours and reset the PFSense MAC address and try again.
-
But is it in the UK coming in over Openreach connection? If so you will need to configured PPPoE.
-
@stephenw10 yes I am based in the UK, I believe it is coming in on a openreach connection.
What do I need to change to set it up for PPPOE?
-
You need to change the connection type from DHCP to PPPoE and enter the credentials required by your ISP.
-
@stephenw10 I managed to get my PPPOE username and password from my ISP and it is now working!
Thank you everyone for you help.
