Hi all,

Thank you for the replies.

This morning, I`ve had time to play again.  With the Draytek 167 in Router mode instead of modem mode, it connected and received an IP address from the ISP DHCP.  I therefore believe that the issue lies between the modem and the OPNSense router.

Reading hushcoden's, reply I fear I may have over-complicated matters by also putting the OPNSense WAN interface on VLAN 101.  I don't think this is necessary.

I may try again this afternoon.

Hi all,

First off, let's get this out of the way - I don't know what I`m doing!

I`m trying to upgrade my homelab setup, did a bit of Googling and OPNSense seemed to be the way to go.

I`ve bought a Draytek Vigor 167 modem as the TalkTalk provided modem/router doesn't seem to do bridge mode.

These 2 guides seem to help me setup the Draytek:-

https://www.draytek.co.uk/support/guides/kb-isp-talktalk#vigor-vdsl2-modems

https://help-centre.talktalk.co.uk/Broadband/Manage_my_network_and_devices/Set_up_a_non-TalkTalk_router

But I can't find anything specific to OPNSense.

Am I right in thinking that I need to set the OPNSense WAN interface to use VLAN101, and DHCP for it's IP config?  because (assuming I`m doing it right!), it doesn't seem to work.


Any help appreciated.


Frank.
