IPoE

[Turbo99]

Does OPNsense have support for IPoE WAN connections. In particular for KPN Corporate Internet through IP over Ethernet (IPoE) (also known as Numbered Link)?

Did you ever made this work?  KPN told me I could upgrade my fibre connection, but need to switch to IPoE as well.
Is this simply setting the WAN to DHCP or Static IP instead of PPPoE what is currently used?

I too am curious about IPoE support. I recently moved to Japan and have a fiber connection to my home. Due to my limited Japanese speaking and reading, the fact that my internet was arranged by our relocation company, and a call to my ISP (with translation service), I'm just now starting to figure out what type of service I have.

The service is v6 plus which is more or less IPv6 IPoE + IPv4 over IPv6. I've just recently been reading up on the technology and am just starting to understand it. The following website explains it further but it's a Japanese website so you'll need to run it through Google Translate if you can't read it.

The service itself is good and currently is working. But the problem I have is I have the ISP Modem/Router in front of my opnsense server. I unfortunately can't bridge the modem and don't really want to bridge opnsense. The ability to change the configuration in the NTT Modem (Model: RS-500mi) is limited as they've locked down certain options.

My ideal configuration would be to remove the SPF module from the NTT Modem, put it in my Ubiquiti switch that has SFP slots, VLAN the SFP port along with an open port on the switch that I'll plug my opnsense server into becoming my WAN interface.

I've already attempted this and through the many options that I've tried up to this point, I can get an IPv4 IP Address from my ISP but no IPv6 address. The IPv4 is not routable which I'm assuming it relies on the IPv6. I'm surprised I'm able to get the IPv4 IP Address without the IPv6. Other config attempts I was able to get a local IPv6 address and IPv4 address but non routable.

I'll admit that this is mostly new to me and I still have other things I need to check based upon reading through the google machine such as firewall rules and possibly other DHCP client settings. So far I've just been trying using DHCPv6.

But my question still remains on whether opnsense 19.1 currently supports IPoE? Also has anyone been successful in getting similar configurations like mine working? If so, would you mind sharing your knowledge and possibly hints to get this working?

Appreciate everyone's support.
