Hello forum,
I have just completed the installation of m0n0wall 1.3b18 (I need the beta because of ipv6 support) and finally managed to get that VDSL from german Telekom working. I was just curious if it was the right thing I did because I found most information here in the forum a bit missleading.
From what I know VDSL requires vlan with id 7 support. Which can easily enabled in the configuration interface. I created it under /interfaces_vlan.php
Now the few sources in the internet say that the WAN interface under /interfaces_assign.php needs to be set to that freshly created VLAN 7 device. But If I do so I can not establich a dialup connection with my provider. However, if I set the WAN interface to the physical interface connected to my VDSL modem the connection works like a charm.
It is definetly a VDSL connection that is running, I have made a little download and upload test and the bandwidth I get is most likely to be correct (1 mbyte/sec upstream, 4,5 mbyte/sec downstream).
So my question is: did I get something wrong with that VLAN 7 device I have just created or is it supposed to work that way? Can anyone explain this to me?
Cheerios,
toskala
