    Hi guys,
    If anyone could help would be greatly appreciated.
    I presume and know that Eircom will not support 3rd party modems on the e-fibre product (away from the Thompson and Zyxell solution).

    What I am curious about though is the settings on the box. Can anyone tell me whether its still standard PPPoE or iPoE? 
    PAP vs Chap?
    Standard of VDSL profile 17a, 8a, 12a etc?
    Any other details including encapsultion, 802.1x requirements etc would be great as although I can put the Zyxell into bridge mode. I would prefer to use my 3rd party mode/router if possible.

    Regards
    Rattle

    Hey guys,
    Noted that I need to test it, but it would seem that traffic coming off of the dsl sync unit needs to be tagged with VLAN 10.
    When the modem is in bridge mode it does this.

    So if you are to replace your modem completely with a different non Eircom supplied device, prepare to get tagging :)

    I'll post more when I get time to test.
