Re: [Cerowrt-devel] Add a vlan on ge00?

Hi Rich,

so I recently tried that as well (while testing pppoe via ADSL2+, since then I changed to VDSL2.vectoring where I have not yet tried to set up a pppoe client on cerowrt); and also did not succeed.

I just found a recent discussion on the openwrt forum:
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=257288#p257288

which might help a bit further, also I learned from a different forum post that in the BCP38 tab of the firewall you need to allow the modems address(range) as otherwise BCP38 will disallow connections to the modem.
	I tried to name the interface for the modem se-modem or so, hoping that this would fall under the ipset’s Dave uses for the firewall and automatically allow traffic from the non-guest networks (but since I did not get it to work that theory might be bogus as well).

	Oh, if you manage to set this up I would love to get your recepie so the next time I play with PPPoE  I will still have access to the modem… ;)

Best Regards
	Sebastian

I'm quite sure that this is a problem with my provider (Fairpoint), because both the CeroWrt and the DSL modem uptimes are over three weeks (as of our last power failure) while the "DSL uptime" is 1h 37m

These get bigger after the outages.

But I only have a single Ethernet between the DSL modem and CeroWrt.
