Re: Sky Fibre Broadband (FTTP) with Ubiquity USG (i.e. 3rd party router)

This is what I used on FTTC with a Draytek modem on a USG Pro. Anyone using a USG3 would need to change eth2 to whatever it is on the USG3 for the WAN :

 

{
"interfaces": {
              "ethernet": {
                          "eth2": {
                                  "dhcp-options": {
                                                  "client-option": [
                                                                   "retry 60;",
                                                                   "send dhcp-client-identifier "user@skydsl|mypass";"
                                                                   ]
                                                  },
                                  "dhcpv6-pd":    {

                                                  "prefix-only": "''"

                                                  }
                                  }
                          },

Re: Sky Fibre Broadband (FTTP) with Ubiquity USG (i.e. 3rd party router)

Hi all,

 

apologies to jump in this after 18 months, I have had FTTP installed today and Sky haven't sent me a router.

I have the USG and have tried several attemps at programming the information on this thread no no avail. 

Any advice is welcome

Hi @Maffy-88 

To get going straight away SSH the the USG and enter the following

 

configure

delete interfaces ethernet eth0 address dhcp

commit

set interfaces ethernet eth0 dhcp-options client-option "send dhcp-client-identifier "bacons";"

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address dhcp

commit

save

 

To preserve this whenever the USG re-provisions you'll need to add the folloing into a file call config.gatewway.json on your controller.

I have a cloud key gen 2 and it's in /usr/lib/unifi/data/sites/default/config.gateway.json

 

{
        "interfaces": {
                "ethernet": {
                        "eth0": {
                                "address": [
                                        "dhcp"
                                ],
                                "dhcp-options": {
                                        "client-option": [
                                                "retry 60;",
				"send dhcp-client-identifier "bacons";"
                                        ],
										"default-route": "update",
                                        "default-route-distance": "1",
                                        "name-server": "no-update"
                                }
                        }
                }
        }
}

 

 If you don't have the directory structure you can go to legacy mode and add a floorplan. Save then switch back and the directory structure should be there.

You may need to chown/chmod the file

Here's some more info on the config.gateway.json file

Thanks @Doofusburger ! I have been trying for hours. does this look about right?

Re: Sky Fibre Broadband (FTTP) with Ubiquity USG (i.e. 3rd party router)

If you were in configure mode it should be ok.

It should

Don't forget to update the config.gateway.json on your controller though as this config will be over-written if the USG is re-provisioned or rebooted.

I don't have any manual settings on the Primary WAN1 Interface apart from my expected speeds

Thanks.

 

Still don't seem to have a connection. Don't want to save the JSON file if it's wrong.

Re: Sky Fibre Broadband (FTTP) with Ubiquity USG (i.e. 3rd party router)

Got it! 

Had to pinch a bit of the coding from @Mr+Slant and we are good! 

Thanks for your help, I will look at trying to do the JSON file saving when I'm abck tomorrow.

Re: Sky Fibre Broadband (FTTP) with Ubiquity USG (i.e. 3rd party router)

I know this is an old thread, can I please confirm my understanding.

 

I have two options:

 

without SkyTalk 

Openreach ONT > USG or UDM

 

with SkyTalk

Openreach ONT > SkyHub > USG or UDM

 

is this correct? Do I need a UDM in either option or could I continue to use the USG?

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more

@djarthur 

Yes that is correct. Note Sky hub doesnt have modem mode so the USG/UDM would have to act as an IP client router or AP, it cant authenticate directly to the line.

Re: Sky Fibre Broadband (FTTP) with Ubiquity USG (i.e. 3rd party router)

HI,

 

Could you share the configuration of the USG for both options please :

 

without SkyTalk 

Openreach ONT > USG or UDM > USG24

 

with SkyTalk

Openreach ONT > SkyHub > USG or UDM > USG24

 

Thankyou.

 

I then want to set up vlan that isolate home, work and whitecards....

 

regards,

 

Pawiter
