Hello,
I am have a small GPON network and would like to set all of our ONU’s into modem mode and allow the customer to get an IP via their router. How would I use the mac address of the ONU to pass the correct IP address to the CPE? I am trying to avoid setting up a ppoe system as I want customers to replace their own equipment without our intervention.
Is it possible to pick up the MAC address of the device that is not requesting the IP address?
Why is it important which MAC they present? If they can log onto your network, they are owed an IP. Give them one. Done.
Probably because of IP Accounting?
I am not sure if it’s useful but there is a ‘Use src MAC Address’ in the static lease options.
The manual isn’t very verbose as to what this means exactly.
When this option is set server uses the source MAC address instead of the received CHADDR to assign the address.
I’ve noticed that devices that are behind wireless repeaters for example, then ROSv7 DHCP Server will have two MAC addresses for each lease. The MAC of the device (as usual) and the MAC of the wifi repeater (as in ‘src MAC’).
Maybe the ONT’s behave the same way and you can get the ONT MAC this way? Worth a try…
I want to give a single static ip by ONU/ONT and not care what device the customer has after the ONU/ONT.
I will give this a whirl and see how it goes.
