Does anyone know if its possible to get a /30 on Spark fibre? All I need is 2 public ip addresses for development purposes, one will be loaded directly onto a linux box, the other onto a router.

A /30 only has 2 usable IP's - one of which is required for the Spark Router, so you would need either 2 PPPoE Dialers or a /29
Hmmmm
No, there isn't any way with Spark to get a second IP address on the PPPoE session. Use a different port or purchase a VPS.

gareth41: Spark don't use PPPoE for public subnets, it's statically assigned - I saw it all detailed once for the schools that were connected via fibre with Spark
Key thing here is the (majority of) schools are not connected with Spark but Spark Digital.

A managed switch is required on the ONT ge1 port with the usual vlan10, any client/device/server/router etc that requires an ip in the public subnet gets bridged to vlan10 via the managed switch and the ip assigned statically.
