Ethernet Direct

The reason I asked is because it sets up a VLAN for the Guest network and some switches don't pass through the VLAN stuff. I guess you need Apple support.

Ok thanks for your help will jump on to apple now.

Well turns out that I can do most things I thought I couldn't, but can't do them on windows utility on Mac or iOS as there there newer version.

So all done.

So you just need the single static IP address, to get BQM. I assume you can set the Extreme to respond to pings?

Yep the AE is responding to my BQM setup via virgin just fine

That's great news

indeed!

(Residential) Plusnet static IP addresses are not configured at your end.

They simply allocate one from their DHCP pool and store it on your account. When you connect, that address is given to you instead of a newly-issued DHCP dynamic one.

I'm not sure if they'd use DHCP or not as it's PPP not straight ethernet, more likely to be controlled by the Radius/AAA servers.

I've always commented this when people say DHCP given the use of PPP. Surely the RAS will have its own pool distributed in the PPP frames, and no DHCP packets would be seen. Not that bothered to wireshark it though

Didn't know you had a PN connection too
