Hi, today I signed up for UFB and I'm trying to prepare for it's arrival in a few weeks.
I use pfSense as a firewall which means I don't need a router and can connect it directly to the ONT.
I'm not that strong with my pfSense setup but I have been able to find enough info to initially prepare it for the change.
There are a few people who have set it up to do what I'm trying to achieve but there is very little information how.
The purpose of this post is to have the information available for anyone else wanting to do the same.
This info comes from the pfSense Forums, post id 59436.0
1. Go to Interfaces -> (assign) and click on the VLANs tab to create the VLAN,
2. go to Interfaces -> (assign) and click on the "+" at the bottom right to add the VLAN to the pool of interfaces available to pfSense,
3. go to Interfaces -> (assign) and click on the PPPs tab then click on the "+" to add a new PPPoE interface (if necessary) then configure it
4. go to Interfaces -> (assign) to set the pfSense WAN interface to the newly configured PPPoE interface.
It's not that clear to people like me with little experience with pfSense so here's what I've done so far (will be updated if there are errors + if I learn it needs to be different):
1. Go to Interfaces -> (assign) and click on the VLANs tab to create the VLAN
Parent interface: select your WAN port (em1 on mine)
VLAN tag: 10
Description: VLAN10
Click SAVE
2. go to Interfaces -> (assign) and click on the "+" at the bottom right to add the VLAN to the pool of interfaces available to pfSense
The new VLAN10 will show up as OPT1 (if no other VLANs already exist)
Click SAVE
3. go to Interfaces -> (assign) and click on the PPPs tab then click on the "+" to add a new PPPoE interface (if necessary) then configure it
Link Type: PPPoE
Link interface(s): em1_vlan10
Description: pick a name that means something
Username: bob.smith
Password: ***********
Service name: leave blank
Click SAVE
4. go to Interfaces -> (assign) to set the pfSense WAN interface to the newly configured PPPoE interface.
Set WAN interface to the new PPPoE(em1_vlan10) - pick a name that means something
At this time I don't know if this info is correct - please feel free to assist. I'll edit this post with corrected info as I learn so the most correct data is always at the top (if it's possible to edit)...
