Hi all,
I'm using a custom Custom XGS-PON SFP+ Stick Module to bypass my ISP router. Internet is working properly, but I can't access the stick management address to update the stick itself. It was working on 24.* version of opnsense, but i figured something changed in 25.7 because i can't access it anymore. I wiped and started fresh on 25 however.
Here's the setup :
Stick is plugged in ix1
Interface > WAN is pppoe on ix1
Interface > WAS110 is ix1 with the static ip 192.168.11.2/24
WAS110 management address is 192.168.11.1
Outbound Rule from WAN to 192.168.11.2
Also tried following the "official" method found here https://pon.wiki/guides/install-the-8311-community-firmware-on-the-was-110/#opnsense but no cigar.
Anybody can help me access the stick??
Hi,
Can you check the "Block private networks" option on the configuration of ix1 interface?
In case this is correctly set, and you hardware has a second SFP port, I would try on this port.
Hope this helps
The stick probably has no default gateway, so the responses will not find their way back to your LAN. You should set up an outbound NAT rule to mask your LAN behind 192.168.1.2.
Also: what is ,,Outbound Rule from WAN to 192.168.11.2" supposed to do?
Adding to this, some ONTs do not answer on their Management IP once the Fiber is active.

Block private Networks is currently checked for the WAN interface (pppoe on ix1) but not on the ix1 interface itself.

You are correct, the stick default is no gateway, but management ip is set as this :
Management fwenvs
8311_ipaddr - IP Address
Set the management IP address. Defaults to 192.168.11.1
8311_netmask - Subnet Mask
Set the management subnet mask. Defaults to 255.255.255.0
8311_gateway - Gateway
Set the management gateway. Defaults to the IP address (ie. no default gateway)
8311_ping_ip - Ping IP
Sets an IP address to ping every 5 seconds, this can helps with reaching the stick. Defaults to the 2nd ip address in the configured management network (ie. 192.168.11.2).How would i go settings an outbound rule to mask 192.168.1.2 ?
