My fiber provider (Metronet) gives me a 10GbE port off the ONT that I connect my OPNSense box to. I pay extra for a static IP (otherwise I'd have to live with CGNAT, which is gross), and the way they had me configure it was to manually enter the IP information they provided over the phone.
That last part isn't ideal (I'm assuming their provisioning system doesn't support distributing static IPs over DHCP), but I love the simplicity of it.
- freedomben 2y agoI would take that in a heartbeat! I love the simplicity, and no waiting for DHCP after a reboot. Also no lease expiratins, which are a source of pain for me with starlink. I have a cron job that has to babysit it and down and up the interface periodically, otherwise it will get stuck and leave me with no Internet. That's especially painful when I'm not at my house so can't physically reach it...
