Settings for third party switches for Swisscom services

[bitracer]

It would be nice to have the settings published to allow setting third party managed switches to support Swisscom services (VLANs and such). Similar to the config file that is made available for the specific TP-Link switch.

@bitracer Could you please add your proposals in the existing thread as suggested by @Black Mamba this is a “Customer help Customer” community and we can’t do any improvement by ourselves and if a responsible Swisscom is reading these proposals it is easier to have them bundled.

Sure, but this is not necessarily related to IB4.

thanks again for this new improvement suggestion, if it is not about IB4 in particular, maybe this discussion, admittedly a bit old, would have been more appropriate for the advanced improvement suggestion

Note that the Swisscom TP-Link switch is more than sufficient unless you need multi-gigabyte capacity (with the 2.5Gb/s port of the Internet-Box 3 for example). It works well and you can configure a lot of things if needed. Of course, it is pre-configured for Swisscom services like TV over the switch, guest WLAN over a WLAN-Box, Bonding for the Internet-Booster, etc. It is certainly not the newest gigabit device on the market, but you probably won't get better performance with a newer gigabit switch..... Finally, it is not very expensive.

if there is no current discussion in the topic it would be better to open a generic topic: improvement suggestions (for example) and use it permanently

as announced @Gaeilgeoir  the Super User are customers and not employees of Swisscom which moreover does not announce any novelty before it is available on the market, on the other hand it takes into account the suggestions and remarks of the forum as far as possible and especially according to the evolution of the market and the competition obviously

Hi all

this is the summary table of the settings to apply to an Ethernet switch, to make it run with all Swisscom retail services.

1. IPTV connected to the switch over Ethernet:

• Enable "IGMP snooping" on specific vlan 1
• Define port 1 as the default gateway port - The user should connect the switch to the gateway using switch’s port #1
• Define all other ports to support "IGMP snooping" - Any of ports #2, #3, etc can potentially be connected to a Swisscom TV Box 
• Allow IGMP immediate leave

2. Internet Booster (4G and 5G) connected to the switch over Ethernet:

• Tagged vlans 699 and 700 must be forwarded
  

3. WLAN-Box (1 and 2) connected to the switch over Ethernet:

• Tagged vlan 1977 must be forwarded - This is used to allow "Guest WLAN" to be also forwarded by the WLAN-Box
  

That's it! Let em know if anything does not work as expected.

Thanks @AntoineBD, that’s what I was looking for.
