Wondering if anyone knows if it is possible either by default or request to have multiple devices accessing internet directly through VLAN 10 on UFB?

I'm wondering if we can connect two routers if we had a small block of IPs, all tagging VLAN10.
For example, 1.1.1.1 for our primary router, and 1.1.1.2 for a IP PBX. If the router was ever having any issues it wouldn't effect the phone system which would have its own direct connection to internet (currently just has a separate DSL connection for that).

Should be possible but I don't know if ISPs allow it. Certainly doing that over another P2P connection with Snap.

Cheers

Ah, just remembered PPPoE is required, meaning you would end up needing two PPPoE connections which isn't going to work.

Depends on the ISP. Orcon use DHCP on VLAN 10, not PPPoE.

From memory UFB is restricted to two MAC addresses

Different plans have different MAC address restrictions. As to whether ISP's can do what you want, yes it's possible and there are plenty who can offer that functionality - you're not going to get that sort of connectivity going with a cheap as chips residential provider though.

technically, you can have as many PPPoE connections as you want on a piece of wire - you will need seperate logins however.

UFB has at least 16 MAC addresses allowed (some plans allow for more though)
