BT Leaseline Wires Only Help

Hi Everyone,

BT Are in the final stages of installing the cable for our Lease Line to our premises.

can you let me know what i should expect from them in terms of settings for our wires only connection?

any screenshots (blanking sensitive data ofc) of your wires only WAN setup pages would be helpful

thanks

Didn’t you get this sorted last time ??

this is a diffrent question from much later in the process...

Should BT be informing you?

Probably, Yes, but they havent yet finished the contract and setup the service that is happening this week, im trying to get ahead of the game and look for what we should expect.

any actual help would be appreciated.

IIf the settings are the same for everyone then BT should give them to you as you are their customer.

The contract will have been signed months ago if you're having the service installed.

If you are wires-only you will get assigned an IP block (the size of the block will be whatever you agreed when you took the service out), and the IP address details for the point-to-point link to BT.

ISPs don't always inform customers accurately and promptly

We have a BT leased line at work and the BT NTE has an Ethernet port on it.

We were given an IP address and netmask for our end of the link. BT told us the IP address of their end of the link and we use that as the default gateway on our firewall.

Our firewall does NAT and from that point it's much like consumer setup.

Ok, so it should be as simple as running my fibre patch cable from the NTE to the Router, changing the Wan Interface to static IP and entering the details for what they give me? We only need one static IP for the router itself.

So in theory.. this should be fairly straight forward, you mention the P2P link to BT, is that part of the static ip setup or?

Thanks

Had another one installed in February. Same as previously. So it's still a duplex single-mode LC handoff by default (unless otherwise arranged) from the ADVA - so fetch a duplex LC single mode (yellow) patch lead and have a 1000Base-LX SFP (1310nm) ready to go in your router.

BT should advise you on your particular addressing (and VLAN as needed) for the WAN setup.
