I tried and they were absolutely adamant that they don’t do any support outside their normal configurations. They told me I would need an outside technician to help me. They wouldn’t even tell me anything about whether i’d need to clone the mac address or use a specific vlan or if they supported ppoe, nothing. Fortunately I got it working just hitting mac clone and using automatic ip configuration
My router doesn’t allow vlan, it’s an asus zenwifi xd8. But I figured it out. I was making it too complicated. I thought I was supposed to put my static IP into the wan configuration, but I just set it to auto configuration and put the isp provided ont/router in bridge mode and I’m good to go! I think I must have fucked something up early on without realizing and went way down the rabbit hole. What’s weird is that a traceroute is still showing that I’m on CGNAT even with a public ip.
I’m getting this entry as the last hop before it hits my isp provided ont: customer-GDL-PUBLIC-CGN Also it is strangely hitting 10 hops for a tracert to google, with about 5 of them being on the 10.3.x.x addresses.
Also, would it make sense for the ont to even have an ip address if it’s in bridge mode?
Thanks! Yeah I’m actually not totally sure my networking skills are up to snuff. But there is some vlan stuff in the admin interface of the isp’s router. So I would just copy the vlan id over to the correct place in the asus router?
Interesting. I’m dreading that because it seems the only requirements for landing a job at an ISP at mexico is complete ignorance of A) networking and B) the policies of your employer. It’s on my list today but was hoping I would be able to solve it without dealing with them. I already have high enough blood pressure as it is
Ah yeah, these guys are really strict about shit, there’s literally only one provider that lets residential customers use a fixed ip. the rest require a corporate account. I don’t think they’re gonna even know what ipv6 is lol
Wow this comment rules. The ISPs in Mexico are very locked down, just to make money. A fixed ip costs $25 per month for example. Do you need them to assign a fixed ipv6 address?
