Current status Internet Box 3 / 10Gbit / Unifi Dream Machine pro

    • Hello everyone,

    Last Monday (June 8th, 20) I bought a Unifi Dream Machine pro (I’m thrilled with the thing 😉)

    Today I received a new Internet Box 3 from Swisscom because I changed my subscription to 10 Gbit/s.

    I have studied various forums and would like to know what the current status is.

    1. Is it possible to connect the Dream Machine pro directly to the Swisscom fiber optic network? (I tried the SFP+ module that comes with the Internet Box 3. Unfortunately no success.

    2. Unfortunately, bridge mode is not possible on the Internet Box 3 (Is DMZ the preferred choice to address the Dream Machine pro directly?)

    3. Is there a way to bring the LAN output 2.5Gbit/s to the Dream Machine pro (SFP with 2.5Gbit/s)

    4 Are there SFP modules that do the whole “XFP-PON” in the module so that I can get a 10Gbit/s signal on the UDM pro?

    Thank you very much for your input and answers.

    • @ColossusCH here is detailed information about XGPON:

      The maximum internet speed with the Internet-Box 3 is achieved cumulatively. This means that this maximum of 10 Gbit/s is achieved in the sum of all connected devices via Ethernet and WLAN:

      * 1 × 2.5Gbps Ethernet port
      * 4 × 1Gbps Ethernet port
      * Max. 4.8 Gbit/s through all WiFi devices

      Even if the router has a 10G port, it still needs an internet service that also offers 10G.

      1. It also requires an ONT which is integrated into the IB3

      2. IB 3 has no bridge mode, only “so-called DMZ” = All ports are directed to a private address.

      3. No, only via Ethernet, otherwise via media converter on fiber.

      4. There are SFP modules with 10Gbit, just not as ONT. The ONT must also be Huawei certified and the connection is AES 128 encrypted. I don’t think anyone will give you the encryption certificate.

      XGPON is an ISP router-bound technology. Because the ISP determines which brand it uses.

      I hope this has helped you.

    Hello user109,

    First of all, thank you very much for the quick answer.

    I actually want to distribute the maximum speed of the fiber optic connection to 6 different 1Gbit switches that are connected to the UDM pro (would mean fiber optic to UDM Pro = 6×1Gbit/s; or via LAN cable 2.5Gbit/s = 6x approx. 0, 42 Gbit/s)

    Or am I making a mistake here?

    @ColossusCH either 1Gbit/s or 2.5 Gbit/s from the IB3 to the Internet. LAG (Link Aggregation) is not possible on the IB3 because the switch on the IB3 cannot be managed and has an IP address range.

    You will never reach 10 Gbit/s, a maximum of 8 Gbit/s depending on overbooking and connection to the backbone.

    XGS-PON ONT Bridge Huawei HN8250Ts would be the choice for your UDM.

    IWAY now offers a router (Router Huawei HN8255Ws) with 10Gbit/s Ethernet port for 99.-CHF / month
