Sky Fibre and Fortinet Firewall

[hmig89]

Hi Guys,

I would like to test a firewall and I would like to all inbound and outbound traffic to pass directly to the firewall, i.e. the Billion 8800axl will essentially behave as a dumb modem.

Can you guys provide guidance on how to do this, from what I see bridged mode is only available to PPPoA??

That's right, as you are with Sky the only option is to set the PTM interface to bridging and check to see if your firewall supports WAN >> Option 61 Client ID, (which is needed to pass authentication with Sky Fibre)

Thanks,

Is there any work around to this#?

Disabling NAT on Billion? or one-to-one NAT?

I was hoping there would be some way for the MER to still be authenticated via the billion but then all traffic would be handled by the firewall..

The only way is to use either no nat mode or one to one nat, meaning you will need a range of static IP's to do so, eg 1 WAN IP is assigned to the billion, the others are assigned to web servers, firewalls etc
