Hi,

I have an opnsense (or fritzbox ) router plugged into the ont, and can get internet fine.

The trouble I am having is i need to have the DN8245X6 behind opnsense because it has 2 phones connected to it. I for the life of me cannot figure out how the DN8245X6 should be configured to allow the phones to still work with the opnsense box in front of it.

I disabled dhcp in the DN8245X6 and plugged it into the opnsense box expecting it to work, but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Assuming the Huawei WAN is configured with a DHCP client and vlan id =10 you need to either have opensense provide a tagged port or disable the vlan tagging on the Huawei.

opnsense is tagged vlan 10, and the dhcp server is disabled in the huawei, which I thought would disable the tagging in the huawei. Was I correct to assume that?

WAN interface on Huawei is a DHCP client. DHCP server runs on Huawei LAN interface - has nothing to do at all with solving this problem. Opensense needs to provide the vlan tag on a LAN side port for the Huawei WAN. Or disable the requirement for a vlan tag on Huawei WAN.

P.S. Opensense WAN side being configured vlan id = 10 also has nothing to do with solving this problem.

Roger, so because it seems the huawei has vlan10 hard coded, just supply it with an opnsense lan side vlan id = 10. And move on with my life. Will try, thanks.

final setup was

opnsense / wan (vlanid=10) dhcp

opnsense / vf-lan (vlanid=10) static dhcp ---> DN8245X6 (wan port) with dhcp server on

firewall rule on vf-lan allowing 5060(SIP) traffic for the phone
