Netlink Bridge Mode without port / mac reset

[varkey]

Pls note there would be multiple Mac addresses on the device ie for each interface. The best way to get the right one would be to go to the BSNL self-care portal, check the usage logs and there it would show the mac address.

Is there an option to see debug logs? Info logs wouldn't have the required details. Pls check the config and set the log level to debug level.

Type - NAT
Level - Debug
Log content - (3131) Flush conntrack

Okay, verify the mac that you cloned is same as the one showed on the self-care portal usage logs.

couldn't find the mac address in the self-care portal

You have check the data usage logs.

My Usage - Broadband Usage - Session Unbilled Usage

have you tried waiting for some time?
I had to wait some good 4-5 minutes some times on the TP-Link ac1200. Also, one thing to note is that the connection re instantiation time is very large. So while debugging rebooting was the better option to initiate the ppp connection request.

well I tried the mac address that was mentioned under the Syrotech modem and now the PON light is off and I can't connect to the internet

 

[varkey]

Just validate whether it's the same as that in the self care portal. That's the mac as seen by BSNL.

 

[koshik]

yes its the same

 

[koshik]

the PON light on Syrotech is still not turning ON

 

[varkey]

That's unrelated. Perhaps a cable cut.

Ok so guys here is my setup...
1. Revo ONU which is same as the Netlink both in looks and interface.
2. TP-Link archer c60 ac1350
3. There is no mac binding for me, as it shows not authenticated
Now just to make sure if I have understood it all correctly
1. I select the bridge mode on the onu
2. Connect the lan cable from the onu to the wan port of the router, check the port binding box to which the cable is connected and uncheck the rest
3. Fire up the pppoe on the router
4. Use the pppuser and password from the lastgood file

Do I need to reSet the tplink router before doing all this ?

Have I got rest of the steps correctly ? Anything else you @varkey or @pothi would like to add ?
