Hier meine notizen mit openwrt (italienisch), vielleicht hilft irgendwnn wieder einem.
Schade dass eine saubere Anleitung nicht von swisscom angeboten wird…
Uberall findet informationen die für mich falsch waren, wie zum beispiel den URL für den Anmelde Seite, hab über eine stunde verloren (danke Fritz!)

Connessione a rete dsl

Modem DLS Zyxel GM4100 impostato in bridge mode

Impostazioni Ruter

Porta bridge del modem connessa a porta WAN
DHCP cliente dell interfaccia WAN con opzione DHCP Vendor class:100008,0001

In questo modo l'interfaccia deve ricevere un ip, internet non é ancora presente.
Interfaccia impostata con dns del peer(isp) in modo da poter richiedere i servizi di autenticazione su www.swisscom.com/start. Autenticarsi con il proprio account swisscom.

Da questo momento in avanti si ha internet, non é più necessarioutilizzare il dns del peer

Su openwrt Installare il pacchetto igmpproxy. Modificare la configurazione (non si può via luci ) modificando il file `/etc/config/igmpproxy` nel seguente modo: (sorry per la formattazione…ma il forum non permette una formattazioine decente)

config phyint

option network wan

option zone wan

option direction upstream

list altnet 213.3.72.0/24

list altnet 224.0.0.0/4

config phyint

option network lan

option zone lan

option direction downstream

Su tutti gli switch (ad esempio il br-lan del bpi R4) attivare IGMP snooping

How did you connect the OpenWRT device?

Reileuli87

WAN port into the port on the wall, same cable and port I use with the Swisscom Box.

bitracer

I’m assuming you have FTTH. If you have P2MP line you need a certified device. What kind of subscription you have?

Reileuli87

I don’t know what those things are, it’s an ethernet jack in the wall of my flat, I connect this to the router. No fibre.

bitracer

It’s probably DSL, so you’ll need a DSL modem/router in front of your router. Possibly one that you can put in bridging mode.

Reileuli87

So I must use the Swisscom router?

bitracer

The Swisscom router can’t be put in bridging mode. You’ll have double NATing using the DMZ method.

You can always buy your own DSL modem/router, but you should think about what are the real benefits of using your own device. Is the hassle worth it.

Reileuli87

I would really like to use my own router, and by the instructions I’ve listed above it should be very simple

bitracer

It’s possible for sure. The use case you referenced is for FTTH with a device that already has the necessary interface.

If you want do use your device with minimal effort in your scenario, just configure the DMZ on the Internet-Box to forward all traffic to the OpenWRT device.

Reileuli87

Thanks, yeah, I know how to use both routers to get this to work.

My issue is I only want one router (my openWRT router), and setting this up should be pretty straight forward, but it looks like I’m missing something.

bitracer

Well, you just need the interface for the line you have. It’s either included in the device you want to use or you have to use an external one.

Reileuli87

I’m not sure what you mean, I’ve listed all my specs above and I think it should work, but it does not.

bitracer

Does your OpenWRT router have a DSL interface on-board? Which router do you have?

Reileuli87

Linksys E8450 (UBI)

When you say “DSL interface” are you referring to a RJ11 port? The cable connecting to my wall is a RJ45, not RJ11.

bitracer

If you have IB in use, it’s either DSL or fiber. You said it’s not fiber, so it must be DSL. If you login into the IB, you’ll be able to see what you have. Also check on which interface on the IB the cable from the wall terminates.

Your device is ethernet router. It nas no DSL interface.

Reileuli87

Are you telling me they’ve routed DSL lines through an ethernet cable? This is what I’m connecting to my router.

bitracer

Yes, that’s most likely. It even says “Tel” above the plug.

Reileuli87

Oh… alright then, I didn’t even know this was something people did.

Swisscom gibt normal nicht mehr Angaben für die Konfiguration von Fremdrouter den es wird ja bei Swisscom immer mehr abgebaut und das würde einen grösseren Mehraufwand bedeuten zusätzlich noch Fremdrouter in das Testprogramm aufzunehmen.
