I tried to set the modem (alcatel S6307 MPx) to do the DHCP
request itself and then to serve as a DHCP server on the internet
network. I couldn't quite get it working.
Any pointers on how to get that working?
After looking at WAN statistics, I found that only br0
and the last (pppoe*) WAN configs had any traffic on the
WAN, so I concentrated on br0 (0/100) because it had the
most traffic and because we *could* get it working as a
bridge.
The only options that don't require authentication are Bridged
and MER (Mac encapsulation). When I tried to use MER and
monitored the WAN status, it would indicate only that it was
trying to get a DHCP address and it would never switch away
from that state. So I gave up on MER because it didn't seem
like it was getting an IP.
hmmm, on the other hand, I should get offline and try MER
again an hour or so from now :-). I might just have been
bitten by that DHCP delay thing again.
by the way, interesting, and to get on-topic again, the
alcatel modem seems to run linux (the modem's status log
contains a lot of stuff that clearly looks like linux,
although it could be one of the BSDs too, I guess).

One good turn gets most of the blankets.
