Hi Ruka,

SRW's previous replies answer your question in full. I can confirm, I have it working for NBN, with and without VLAN tags, with this threads replies

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your message , just an overview on my current setup. I have installed Sophos XG on a mini PC that has four N/W ports. Port 2 has WAN and Port 1 and Port 3 are configured with LAN subnets

When i tried to connect Port 2 directly to NBN NTD and tried to enter PPPoE details , its not been accepted.

My question was is there any other hardware that i need to install on the Mini PC like Sophos VDSL module for the Mini PC to recognize

My ISP Provider is TPG and i dont have static IP from them

Appreciate any assistance

Have a good day

Cheers

Raju

Hi Raku,

when configuring your WAN interface, you select PPPoE, inout the details, then scroll down to DSL and enable the VDSL setting. I looked ta the TPG site and could not find which VLAN id is required, might be provided by yhte configuration as you login.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for those details, i believe VLAN ID for TPG is 2.

Anyways will give that a shot and let know how it goes

Appreciate your help

Cheers

If you're using NBN FTTN you need a VDSL Modem. For Sophos XG devices, the Sophos VDSL Modem will work fine. If your using a mini PC with Sophos XG installed you'll need to find a TPLink, Billion, Netgear, etc that has a VDSL modem and supports bridged mode.

Hi srw,

I'm using NBN FTTN at home. I have TP-Link VR600 v2. It has bridge mode options, but i havent enabled it yet

Currently TP-Link WAN port is connected to NTD ) , and LAN port from TP-Link is connected to Mini PC Port 2 which has IP 192.168.1.150 ( static )

My doubt is , is this the right way to set it up or should i be enabling bridge mode

Appreciate your cooperation

Thanks

Hi SRW,

I have been looking at this thread and noticed you have setup FTTN on Telstra.

I have been trying to setup the XG125 with the VDSL module on port 9 (SFP). I have a static IP from Telstra, and i have tried setting static and also DHCP on Port 9 but with no success. You mentioned that Telstra do not need VLAN/native VLan, did you attach a VLAN on port 9 interface and left VLAN as 1 to get this working or you did not attach any VLAN interface to the port. 

This is the only thing i have not tried which is adding a VLan interface to the DSL module. In the VLAN interface do you select DHCP or Static for telstra?

Thanks,
Regards,

I don't believe Telstra uses VLAN's for their FTTN service(unless that's changed recently), so don't configure an VLAN on the interface.

You'll need to check with Telstra on whether to statically set the IP, if so set it there. If not (ie they're using IPoE or DHCP), set it to DHCP. If Telstra are using DHCP/IPoE for the connection, you may be having an issue with the DHCP leases (ie, it's still tied to the old modem plugged in), if this is the case you may need to wait a while for the old lease to expire or call Telstra and see if they can clear it for you
