General Discussion / Re: Set local static IP for wan interface using PPPoE
« on: September 21, 2024, 11:49:12 am »
I can't see a VIP on the WAN interface working for this - the WAN interface is one end of a PPP tunnel. The other end od the PPP tunnel is not on the ONT - it's on some ISP-owned hardware in some location beyond the other end of the fibre. I would expect the ONT to be invisible from the PPP layer.
Assigning the underlying physical NIC and giving it a 192.168.x.x address seems like it should work (see @zan's editted response), but I don't have an easy way to test it. You would have to NAT it if you want to access the ONT from hosts on your LAN, unless there's a way to add static routes to the ONT (pointing back to you LAN through OPNsense).
