Hello everyone,
I am trying to setup the GPON fiber modem/router Nokia G-W120-F in bridge mode without any success (it works fine in router mode). An extensive internet search for the Nokia G-Wxxx-x modem series and PPPoE fiber connections shows few successes and a lot of failures. Successful procedures weren't homogeneous, and below are some of the contradictory notes regarding the successes (considering that different ISPs and different users might have slightly different setups):
- Only LAN port 1 can be used for bridging. That port must be switched to bridged mode
- Only LAN port 4 can be used for bridging. That port must be switched to bridged mode
- Any LAN port can be used for bridging. That port must be switched to bridged mode
- ISP/DSP needs to enable the bridging mode on a specific LAN port (OLT programming)
- There is no need for ISP/DSP to enable the bridging mode (OLT programming)
- Router should make PPPoE connection using the same vlan initially specified in the Nokia PPPoE connection
- Router should make PPPoE connection without vlan
- Router should make PPPoE connection without vlan, but with some router IPTV vlan settings
- The PPPoE WAN connection the modem must be deleted
- The PPPoE WAN connection in the modem must be changed to IPoE
The logical way should have been:
- Delete the PPPoE connection on the modem
- Put one of the modem LAN ports in bridge mode
- Let the router establish the PPPoE connection using the same vlan that was specified in the modem's PPPoE connection
I have tried many different combinations without any success. The router, while attempting the PPPoE connection, doesn't receive any single byte back from the router.
The bridged LAN port LED on the modem stays always off, as if the port was dead.
Can anybody shed some light here?
