[AusNOG] iiNet Tech Contact for NBN Service Config

[Darren Moss]

Thanks everyone for your input. 

In particular, Gavin, Mark and Dat from iiNet have been most helpful.

So the verdict is that the first device must be DHCP as this is used to establish a session with the NTD.

Then the additional devices can utilise static IPs.

We are in the process of testing.

Cheers


Darren.

User experience.

(Almost) all consumer routers default to DHCP over an Ethernet port.  Buying a router off-the-shelf, and plugging all the cables in with zero configuration required is very attractive.

(This also applies to customers who accidentally factory reset their router.)

You can do the engineering once, and it's done.  Reduced support overhead is a benefit that will be reaped for years afterwards.
