Hello

 

At present I have an ADSL router connected to an IPCop firewall appliance.  The ADSL router/firewall connection is PPPoE to avoid double NATing. 

 

From the firewall,   I have a switch for wired network connections, and a wireless access point.    The WAP is located in the centre of the house, well away from the cable entry point.

 

For various reasons, I would much like to keep the firewall between the modem and the network, including wireless.

 

 

 

So now Spark have made fibre available on my street.  So all I should need is a fibre modem with PPPoE to replace the ADSL router.  After not much research, it seems that all? fibre modems have built in wifi. 

 

Can someone point me to a a good quality but basic fiber modem with PPPoE?

Hi

 

IPCop does have a VLAN GUI available here so I can install that. 

 

There appears to be conflicting advice above.   hio77 says I should be able to seamlessly move from ADSL to UFB.  My understanding is that I should be able to physically move the ethernet cable from ADSL to the UFB ONT without changing anything in the IPCop configuration.

 

Bartender says I need to add VLAN 10.  If so, then it would appear I just need to add VLAN 10 to the red interface.

 

 

 

I looked up the UFB router settings here and it looks like VLAN tagging is on for Spark UFB.

 

 

 

If the connection from Spark ONT to the IPCop red port is pppoe, I would not have expected the need to worry about VLAN. Unless Spark send different traffic down different VLANs.

 

If VLAN 10 is for data, are there other VLANs available/accessible?

 

 

 

Regards

If a RSP delivers UFB over a tagged UNI port it uses VLAN10. That is the only VLAN used and it's the identical setup as VDSL2.

 

You will need to tag your port with VLAN10 and simply move the cable.
