VDSL2 Modem with IP Passthrough

traveyb · 7 Jul 2015 at 12:15

Hey,
Not sure if there is such a device but I want a VDSL2 modem that will authenticate (via Sky which is a PITA I know) and just pass the IP address to my Ethernet router?
At just sticking my router in the DMZ of my Sky Hub at the moment but would like a neater solution

Why do you want the modem to authenticate? What's the problem with the usual Ethernet router and an Openreach supplied modem?

For Sky you just need a router that'll handle their MER authentication rather than straight forward PPPoE, but that's not much of an issue.

I'm using an ASA5505 and it doesn't support the type of authentication Sky uses. Just wanted a device that can dial up, authenticate and pass the IP to my ASA

Came across this when I was looking for something else, which may be useful to you.

http://www.draytek.co.uk/support/guides/sky-mer-setup-guide (you will need to create an account to read).

In essence you may be able to do something using a Draytek Vigor 130, but the ASA will need to support DHCP options 60-61. Means nothing to me, just posting as is.
