This info is available when you make the PPPoE connection. Some routers display it in the UI too.

Regarding the hardware upgrade, I've been getting IPv6 since more than a year. Not all areas in Kerala are upgraded, some are still on the legacy Ericsson (I think) hardware. Perhaps the pandemic has slowed the upgrades 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think I can ssh into ONT, any command to manually ask the ONT to redo the PPPoE stuff and fetch the MAC?

Hahaha!
Have to wait little longer...
Damn you Ericsson.

@Realme check the system logs. PPP logs,

IPV6 Config

Elavarasan · May 10, 2021

@luckyph is there any ipv6 config documentation for open-wrt devices ?

varkey · May 10, 2021

@Elavarasan Just set Obtain IPv6-Address to Automatic

Elavarasan · May 10, 2021

@varkey Yeah it's already set to Automating only and iam not getting ipv6 😅 then my area is not yet upgraded for ipv6.

Realme · May 10, 2021

@luckyph How did you know BSNL is changing from Ericcson to Juniper, nationwide? (Btw remove your user id from log)

@varkey
Is Ericcson not that good anymore?

Realme · May 10, 2021

Btw has anybody in the forum were given Huawei EG8141A5 or TP-Link XR500v?

How was the experience(Were they comparatively better than other non-branded ONT/dull media converters?)

AAK · May 10, 2021

Can media converter be used instead of onu to be bridged with another router ?

varkey · May 10, 2021

@AAK I don't think so, cause this is a PON, so you need a device which understands that.

@Realme My guess is that the Ericsson device is out of support/warranty etc and in most cases renewing the support/warranty plan for a legacy product costs almost the same as the cost of the hardware. I am guessing Juniper quoted a lower price when it came to renewal.

Realme · May 10, 2021

Given the Juniper's reputation in the internet router scene, lets see what BSNL makes our of it 🤣

Btw as your are on ipv6, how reliable is BSNl's ipv6?

Joyous · May 10, 2021

Is there any 'Practical' benefit for using IPv6? If I configure for IPv6, then if IPv6 is not available, the router will default to IPv4?

Thanks
