Hello,
I finally decided to open up a help question on here.
My internet provides me with high speed fiber and IPTV (as wel as VOIP, but I don’t use that)
They alow, and even encourage to use your own hardware, and as such most settings are available online.
Now I have gotten a lot of it working already, but I do need some help with the last few things… so let’s kick it off:
My provider uses VLANs to provide Internet and IPTV.
- Internet is on VLAN 34
- IPTV is on VLAN 4
On both VLANs DHCP needs to be enabled
The default route can NEVER go over VLAN 4
NAT has to be used on VLAN 4
A static route has to be set on VLAN 4 to 185.6.48.0/26 over the gateway IP received on VLAN 4
The settop boxes (Sparql boxes) have to be placed in the normal LAN
IGMP Snooping or IGMP proxying has to be enabled on VLAN 4
The Sparql boxes have to be able to join the multicast streams that are in VLAN 4 whilst they are in the LAN themselves.
So now, how far have I gotten…
Currently the Sparql boxes work… half… they get their tvguide information, they even get an IP (in the normal LAN)
However they do not show any TV streams, so I suspect there’s something wrong with the IGMP snooping or joining the multicast streams.
I have made two VLANs on interface eth1, they are ofcourse: eth1.34 and eth1.4 (P.S. I also tried eth1.04)
the eth1.34 interface is bridged to the lan network on eth2, the eth1.4 interface has a seperate configuration called IPTV
Next I disabled defaultroute on IPTV, enabled masquerading and used SSH to enable igmp_snooping
I alsop configured the static route which I think is correct, when I had the wrong gateway IP I didn’t receive the TVGuide, which works now, so I think the static route is correct.
As I said above, the only thing I can’t seem to figure out is this IGMP snooping thing…
I followed the following guide as much as I could, but for me it apparently doesn’t work correctly, might be because it’s 3 years old.
For the dutch people on here, this is the official blog by my provider: https://blog.tweak.nl/hardware/vlan-configuratie-bij-gebruik-eigen-apparatuur/
I would appreciate any and all help in the matter
