We run the SMs bridged, but we put the LAN0 port of the SM on a
tagged VLAN (add WLAN0.50 interface, bridge WLAN0.50 and LAN0
together). On that tagged VLAN, we only allow PPPoE connections.
Yes, when a customer resets their router, we have to talk them
through PPPoE config, but at least the router's wizard is detecting
that PPPoE is the only available Internet connection. (Besides, you
still have to talk them through DHCP disable if they reset their
router under your current scenario anyway). Their traffic is
isolated from the CPE and AP management (at L2) and we disallow L3
traffic to infrastructure prefixes at the routers. We really don't
want the CPE's involved in L3 Internet reachability for customer
traffic. Just our philosophy; we treat the SMs as infrastructure,
not customer equipment. Jesse DuPont Network

Good morning all! Currently we are running it on the CPE, but are considering moving it to the customer router. We were advised to put PPPoE on the CPE and configure the customer router as an AP (disable dhcp, plug it into a lan port instead of the wan/internet,etc). My preference is to bridge the CPE and run it on the customer router, but I am open to suggestions.What is your preference? |
