Replacing Century Link Router
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2016 7:24 pm
Working on an install where they have Century Link as the ISP and TV provider.
There is one cat-5 coming from the ONT to the Century Link router. The cable boxes are connected to the router via cat-5.
I did manage to put the cable boxes into a switch... found there to be no VLAN tags, despite what I was told.
After reading a few articles... it seems that the feed from the ONT will provide a Public DHCP address to a client tagging 201.
Added a VLAN of 201 to an interface... sure enough... I get the Public IP. Internet works... but TV stops after about 7 seconds.
Now where I am stuck is the TV part.
I found this article..

I just can't seam to figure it out.
I am not real familiar with IGMP settings.
Anyone have any insight?
