Hi all,
I’ve bought a VMG4005-B50A to use in bridge mode with my domestic 250Mbit 35b/supervectoring VDSL service in Germany and I’m having trouble setting it up. It syncs fine but I’m getting a PPPoE error when I try and connect. The ISP isn’t being any help.
On both the default “Bridge_ATM” and “Bridge_PTM” WAN configurations (which of these are relevant for my setup? Should I delete the other one?) I’ve set 802.1p = 0 and 802.1q = 7. Encapsulation is set to LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING and Service Category as “UBR Without PCR”.
With the LAN port plugged directly into my mac, if I try and open a PPPoE connection it thinks for a while then says, “A connection could not be established to the PPP server. Try reconnecting. If the problem continues, verify your settings and contact your administrator”. If I go to Console.app I see some output:
Note the `LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests`.

Any idea what might be going wrong? Is a standard configuration for this modem and Deutsche Telekom VDSL available?

I’m still confused about what the above problem is, but it’s working—when I plug the LAN port of the modem into my Ubiquiti ERX-SFP and let it bring up the PPPoE connection everything works fine. I’m getting > 230Mbps throughput on wired connections.0
