Just upgraded to my 40Mb VDSL+ service from CenturyLink to gigbit fiber. Unfortunately, I’m having difficultly getting my Omnia to establish a WAN connection with the ONT.
I had a VDSL+ connection to CenturyLink, using PPPoE. It used a Actiontec C1000A VDSL modem set in bridging mode. This worked reasonably well (no problems with the Omnia).
The technician installed a Calix 716GE-I ONT and ZyXEL C1000Z modem/router combination–the combination connects to the internet as expected. The LAN port 1 of the ONT is connected to the WAN port of the ZyXEL router. The router is set to PPPoE:
I’m using a similar configuration for the WAN:
General
Advanced
Physical
The relevant part of dmesg
after I connected the ONT’s LAN 1 port to the WAN port of the Omnia:

Questions:
- CenturyLink doesn’t offer IPv6. Is it safe for me to remove the
wan6
interface and setipv6
to0
? - Apparently, I need a VLAN entry that is ‘tagged’ 201. How do I do this?

I set the ZyXEL in ‘transparent routing’ mode and I’m able to connect the Omnia to the network. The ZyXEL’s WAN:
I’d really like to remove the ZyXEL dependeny from my network.
What sort of changes to I need to make to get this to work?
