i210 and SFP GPON Modul

[JayTee75]

I have a i210 port with ZYXEL SFP GPON

Code Select Expand

igb4: <Intel(R) I210 (Fiber)> port 0x8000-0x801f mem 0xdc200000-0xdc2fffff,0xdc300000-0xdc303fff at device 0.0 on pci10

    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'I210 Gigabit Fiber Network Connection'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

But I can't see the SFP Modul...

Any idea to get the SFP work?

Are you using this to bypass the BGW series ATT modem for fiber connectivity?

[JayTee75]

Thats the Idea. I don't want make external fiber to copper sind use it directly as WAN in opnsense.

[JayTee75]

Is the SFP only shown when a fibre cable is connected?

[FraLem]

Most likely the SFP ONU will only activate when provisioned by the OLT, is this the case?
Please note as well that the SFP ONU might  not negotiate port speed, I would suggest to set the port speed to 1GBps ( or 2.5 Gbps).

Hope this helps

My setup is a little different, as I have the ONT transceiver connected into my OPN box.  Works great, but I can't reach the IP you assign it to access the web GUI.  It doesn't do like it does with the BGW modem connected, as you get an internal address from the modem to access it.  The ONT doesn't give you the one assigned and only the WAN IP.

The only way I've found so far to get access, is unplug it, change the IP on my fiber card in my windows server to something in the same subnet, and update it that way accessing the GUI.  Then unplugging it and putting it back into my OPN box.  I've tried creating SNAT, and had no luck accessing

If this is even the issue you are having - gaining access to thhe GUI.

In order to get to the WebUI for the PON, you have to create a Virtual IP address.  From their discord:

-----------------------------
Firewall -> Virtual IPs -> Add.
Select the "IP Alias" type
Select interface
Select single address
Address(es): 192.168.11.100 / 24 (Or whatever IP range you used)
Description: Management
Save

Firewall -> NAT -> Outbound
Select "Hybrid Outbound NAT"
Select "Add (down/up, depending on what you want)"
Ensure "disable this rule" is NOT selected"
Select the same interface as above
Select IPv4
Protocol: Any, Source: Any
Destination: Network or Alias: 192.168.11.0 / 24
Translation
Address: 192.168.11.100 (Management)
Misc
Description: Management NAT
Save (edited)
-----------------------------
Works for me, even if I disable the NAT rule, I can still get to the interface.
