kudos:3 | Bridging, IPTV and USG Was reading some ole threads on Bridging, (for usg 20w wlan1-1 and LAN1 etc)...

Re: 20W wireless config
I know this is an oldish thread but the USG20W bridge between the LAN and WLAN is so illuminating. So the first question is...
(1) How does it work. It appears one has lan1 already setup.
He created a new interface under the bridge tab which states zone is LAN1 and whose members are LAN1 and WLAN1-1 with automatic DHCP service.
Does this mean one removes the settings for LAN1 interface? (most likely not)?
Or does it (more likely) mean that all the clients assigned in this new interface with a different IP address are bridged and thus allowed crosstalk with LAN1?? (i understand the assigning of address object to this interface in order to create a polity route for internet access for wlan1-1 clients (and applying SNAT).
Now to the meat of the post......
I am working on moving my USG100 to the next step of Fibre OP stock router replacment functionality and will probably need some of the concepts in the above thread. As you may well know (and thus follow my posts religiously, if you want a good after life), that I am able to add my USG100 to the Internet VLAN of my ISP. The crAptiotech router is no longer powered up (was in bridge mode) as I now directly connect to the ONT.
I am told that the ONT (read modem in english) provides a direct bridged connection for IPTV (STBs) and does not work on the internet VLAN and has its own VLAN and DHCP service by the ISP.
Thus I am thinking using the information in this thread (albeit this new idea is actually a less complicated scenario), it would be fairly easy to create a bridge required. The first question is should I make this completely separate from my LAN (as there is no relation that I can think of between LAN1 (my pCs) and the IPTV STBs) and use lets say DMZ.
Okay now to the hard stuff!!
(2) I dont know where to start. Do I put get DHCP service
automatically in the Bridge Interface or the VLAN interface???
Assuming DMZ will have manual setup 0.0.0.0 etc like my ethernet interface selection for current internet VLAN setup.
(3) Assuming I put new bridge interface in DMZ zone, with members DMZ and WAN2 (WAN2 is my fibreop ISP)
(4) Assuming I do not need a policy route???
(5) Another parameter I do not know what to do with is hte fact that this is priority 3 information (802.1p). How do I program (do I need to) for this setup??
(6) Assign a specific port to the DMZ which, If I had STBs, would be used to connect up to TVs.

Nepean, ON | I have a question -- who in your area of Atlantic Canada is currently providing IPTV services?
I know that IPTV is currently being offered in Montreal and Toronto via Bell Entertainment via VDSL2. |

Just ordered 3 new fiber links to the office, all P2P and 1GbE weee.
2 x 1GbE Business links
1 x 1GbE Consumer link with IPTV
And when the USG gets it IPv6 firmware I'll stick one in to load balance the 2 GbE Business links, if it got the umph to deal with the speeds 
Drool on that :P
Ps. One of the business link and the consumer link is free of charge, for the last business link we pay about USD 500 per month....

No drool but I did have a bout of flatulence.
Now how bout answering some of my questions GURU partner.... |

Do you know the VLAN that the IPTV is using?
Assuming your WAN interface is a vlan trunk, logically all you need to do is to bridge that VLAN to a LAN port.
Is it possible to bridge a VLAN through the USG?

Did Emelda have more than one pair of shoes? 
Of course you can bridge a VLAN. What good would it be if you couldnt. ASSuming Im correct you can appreciate there is some trickery in how to setup the VLAN and bridge specifically at which point do I say get an IP automatically (bridge interface or vlan interface). |
|
| How should I know, I have never logged into an USG in my life.
But if you bridge the VLAN from the WAN to the LAN, then you should not get an IP on the USG, but on what ever is connected to the LAN port.
But you did not answer my first questions, do you know the IPTV VLAN?

kudos:3 | Yes as per IM (i know sometimes the minutia can be distracting) is VLAN34. |

Well then just bridge that VLAN to a LAN port Sorry I can not be more helpfull, I've never played with an USG.
But from what I have read here, I assume you need to create a VLAN 34 interface that is stacked/connected to the WAN interface/port and one of the LAN ports/LAN interfaces. Then make a bridge for/with that VLAN.
There is no IP stuff needed for that VLAN, all traffic should just be bridged through. One thing you need to find out is if the IPTV STB likes VLAN tags or not. If no, then you need to untag on egress and tag on ingress of the LAN port VLAN interface.
If you buy me a USG, I can figure it out for you. :P
