Changes to Swisscom IPTV? (third-party router)

  • I have a setup here: FTTH <-> Internet box standard <-> third-party router (NAT, firewall, IGMP proxy) <-> VLAN <-> HD TV box.

    When configuring the third-party router, I followed the following two articles:

    SWISSCOM: Settings for third-party routers

    TuxOne: pfSense 2.1 with Swisscom Access

    TechIsland: Swisscom FTTH without internet box

    Thanks to the third-party router’s IGMP proxy, Live IP TV ran, even without the IB’s DMZ.

    Then I changed something and I can’t get it back to work. Neither with nor without DMZ. Unfortunately, I don’t see any signs in the third-party router’s log that any needed traffic is being blocked; neither from NAT nor from the Stateful Inspection of the FW.

    Now there is the possibility that I did not reverse the configuration cleanly and simply cannot find the configuration error.

    Or something has changed on SC’s part.

    That’s why I’m first interested in whether everything still works as it should for other customers with third-party routers?

    A third possibility: Because my firewall has to be set differently than in the linked articles, there may be a change somewhere that is only noticeable to me. Unfortunately, there is extremely little information about what data traffic really needs to be enabled. This can only be seen to a limited extent from the FW rules.

    Turning off the FW doesn’t work because permission for the multicast addresses can only be granted there.

    • This seems to be a bug in the configuration interface of BOSS V7.10 Rev 1 Patch 9 of the bintec R232b.

      Configure firewall -> Configure IGMP proxy -> Switch on IGMP proxy -> IGMP proxy is not running or not running correctly.

      Configure and switch on IGMP forwarding for the relevant interfaces -> the system does not behave as expected.

      Switch off IGMP forwarding again -> IGMP forwarding is switched off, IGMP proxy runs smoothly, even after a restart.
