Swisscom TV with Unifi network

    • Good day

    Yesterday I installed a Unifi network. The configuration is as follows

    Swisscom Internet Box

    • behind it Unifi USG Security Gateway Pro, Unifi 48 Port POE Switch and 5 Unifi AP Pro AC

    I have created networks with VLAN. Network for Swisscom, clients receive IP address of Swisscom Box (e.g. Swisscom TV 2.0) and 2 other networks LAN and guests with VLAN ID.

    The Swisscom Box is connected to the Unifi Switch and receives an IP from the Internet Box (192.168.1.0/24). Navigation and images work, but navigation in the menus is slower and the image has slight stutters. I then connected the TV box directly to the InternetBox and now it’s perfect.

    But I would like to know - IGMP and multicasting - can I configure the port on the Unifi switch so that operation via the Unifi infrastructure also works? I saw a comment on this forum from Tuxone “never buy a USG” 🙂

    Thank you

    Hi,

    If you can connect the TV-Box directly to the router, I would leave it that way. Basically, every additional component can introduce additional sources of error into the system, and “don’t include it at all” is the best solution to avoid problems.

    I myself “only” use Unifi components as APs for WiFi and can’t say anything more about it. Why you should never buy a USG, n/a, but ask @Tux0ne directly…

    Thanks - I also think it’s the best solution - it just amazes me what it’s like with Unifi. I’ll wait until @Anonymous gets in touch. 🙂

    Uh, what are you doing?

    The USW doesn’t really offer a QoS yet,

    But you can also activate igmp snooping if you haven’t already done so.

    Yesterday I needed SCTV 2 with Unifi USG and a Unifi USW to run. It works wonderfully.

    Ultimately, this post got me to my goal.

    And here you can find the correct IP addresses

    Here is what you have to do on the USG to get this to work with Swisscom TV:

    The eth1 is the LAN interface, so if a subnet other than 192.168.1/24 is configured, this must be adjusted accordingly

    SSH login to the USG (according to the controller)

    configure.configure
    edit protocols igmp proxy
    set interface eth0 role upstream
    set interface eth1 role downstream
    set interface eth0 alt subnet 224.0.0.0/4
    set interface eth0 alt subnet 213.3.72.0/24
    set interface eth0 alt subnet 195.186.0.0/16
    set interface eth0 whitelist 239.0.0.0/8
    set interface eth1 alt subnet 192.168.1.0/24
    set interface eth0 threshold 1
    set interface eth1 threshold 1
    commit
    save
    exit

    Interestingly, I have the effect that after a software update this setting disappears again… just reconfigure it and you’re done. (I hope UBNT gets these settings into the controller too)

    UPDATE

    The following configuration on the controller sets the settings correctly even when re-provisioning:

    <ufc-controller-home>/data/sites/<site-id>/config.gateway.json

    {
    “protocols”: {
    “igmp-proxy”: {
    “interface”: {
    “eth0”: {
    “alt-subnet”: [
    “224.0.0.0/4”,
    “213.3.72.0/24”,
    “195.186.0.0/16”
    ],
    “role”: “upstream”,
    “threshold”: “1”,
    “whitelist”: [
    “239.0.0.0/8”
    ]
    },
    “eth1”: {
    “alt-subnet”: [
    “192.168.1.0/24”
    ],
    “role”: “downstream”,
    “threshold”: “1”
    }
    }
    }
    }
    }
