Orange France does that??? In my experience, Orange Slovakia refuses to do that; they have their Huawei OLTs, hand out Huawei ONTs and they only thing they were willing to do is switching the ONT to bridge mode. That's not all: you cannot use any Huawei ONT, even if it is the same model as they use. You must use one provided by them. They are activated by serial numbers and they won't activate it if isn't their. So for a long time I had a router with SFP interface, but it was useless and I had to run the ONT next to it anyway. On similar topic: how is IPTV done in France? Here, it looks like IGMP, the ONT does IGMP proxying and the upstream interface for the multicast subnet is a separate VLAN. (This is something, that many routers have problem with).

> Orange France does that??? I confirm they do. They have to support enterprise-lite setups on the same GPON as the standard consumer stuff.

I know, with Alcatel-Lucent-Nokia, you can get their SFP, and reflash their OMCI config vars, and LOID from their router into it. If you can get config GPON OMCI strings from your router, maybe this will work for you.

> Orange France does that??? I've seen both, it might depend on the location, or other factors. Maybe you could ask explicitly? See there: https://lafibre.info/orange-les-news/show-hello-2016/ https://lafibre.info/orange-les-news/show-hello-2016/ That website also has a lot of information (in French) regarding ISP configs, and I think it would answer your question regarding IPTV. There is a whole section dedicated to replacing the box with a custom router: https://lafibre.info/remplacer-livebox/ https://lafibre.info/remplacer-livebox/ It looks like there is a VLAN (840) for multicast TV, and another for VoD (838). There are a few vendor-specific field the DHCP server has to pass the decoder if you want that to work. From one of the topics on that website, this English document is linked, which could be useful: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/orange_fr_tvf.html https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/orange_fr_tvf.html
