New ISP incoming -> Change from PPPoE to DHCP on WAN
Hi as title says, I've got a new ISP coming on Monday. I'm currently using idnet in the UK and the setup is ONT->opnSense WAN port... PPPoE on WAN port, works fine.
So this is very strange - I am prepping, so just went in to my WAN interface which is on PPPoE as stated. My plan on Monday was basically to change this over to DHCP so it get's a public IP from youfibre (i'm going to pay for a static IPv4). I understand that's the right way to do it youfibre ONT -> opnsense WAN port. I certainly don't want their ISPs router in between if I can avoid it!
But I don't get it - in the dropdown Interfaces->WAN -- "IPv4 Configuration Type", I only see two options the currently selected type PPPoE and None. I was expecting to have dhcp as an option.
Anyone know what I'm missing here pls in preparation for Monday?
I'd be very grateful for a step by step if possible as I want to make the downtime as little as possible and the changeover as simple as possible. What's the path of least resistance here while still remaining secure and how can i verify security afterwards please.
I have a gateway also which is WAN_PPPOE (active), I guess this is relevant also, do i have to monkey with that also!
Currently....
LAN - igb0
WAN - igb1
