Hello,

I'm a openbsd and network hobbyist, so sorry if this sounds to amateurish.

At home, I'm currently using an openbsd soekris router which is
connected to a bridged thompson dsl router and uses pppoe to
authenticate.
Here is my current DSL config:
vr0 = 172.16.43.1 is my home network (172.16.43.0/24)
vr1 = (idle)
vr2 = (idle)
vr3 = connected to thomson router (which is in bridge mode)
pppoe0 = inet 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.1 -inet6 pppoedev vr3
authproto pap authname xyz authkey xyz up
             !/sbin/route add default 0.0.0.1

I'm switching my dsl connection at home with a fiber (ftth) connection
in a couple of days.

My provider only support avm fritz boxes as frontend routers, but I
would really like to keep my openbsd as my main frontend router.
Now, I'm lost as I don't know how I would have to configure vlan (for
internet traffic & voice) for my ftth to work? Is it even still
possible to keep openbsd as
my frontend router?

Here is the technical data I have about how they configure the
different services:
"4.2. Layer 2 configuration
As the interface is an Ethernet interface, the layer 2 configuration
is also based on Ethernet and the traffic separation (High Speed
Internet and Voice) is done via the two service VLANbs (IEEE 802.1q).
VLAN 35 is used for the High Speed Internet traffic, and VLAN 39 for
the Voice. The HAG needs to tag the traffic based on the service. The
QoS is based on the IEEE 802.1p protocol, so on p-bit marking. The
details of the p-bit config, the assigned bandwidth, the traffic
policing etc are defined in the corresponding agreements between
P&TLuxembourg and the OAO."

Here are the devices I have to struggle with:
1) a soekris box (vr0,vr1,vr2,vr3, pppoe0)
2) a fritz box (lan ports & analog phone connectors)
<http://www.avm.de/en/service/manuals/FRITZBox/Manual_FRITZBox_Fon_WLAN_7570_
vDSL.pdf>
I would use the fritz box to connect my analog phone to it, to be able
to answer phone calls at my fixed home line.

Here is how I thought I would (it is only a suggestion) physically
connect the different devices
vr0 = 172.16.43.1 is my home network (172.16.43.0/24)
vr1 = 172.16.44.1 would be a new network (172.16.44.0/24), I would
connect the avm box to this network
vr2 = (idle)
vr3 = connected to my provider's fiber converter
pppoe0 = inet 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.1 -inet6 pppoedev vr3
authproto pap authname xyz authkey xyz up
             !/sbin/route add default 0.0.0.1

As far as I understood I need to handle the following problems:
all IP traffic coming in at the pppoe0 interface needs:
1) to route VLAN35 to vr0 lan
2) to route VLAN39 to vr1 (where the fritz box will route the voice to
it's analog port)
3) modify my pf.conf accordingly

I came accross this article <http://un.geeig.net/openbsd-vdsl.html>,
but it is still to vague/tricky for me, and not exactly what I need. I
would really appreciate some different concrete examples, may be
someone already has a similar config at home. As non technical expert
I would really appreciate some help.

Thank you very very much!!!
Kind regards,
Didier
