I think it was Netgate branded.

Hmm might have had some odd vendor-lock by Netgate. The cheapo generic ones (as noted in the other thread) work fine with ADVAs

Possibly, it worked in a Mikrotik switch.

Thanks

Hello,

we are awaiting our 200mbps BT NET Lease Line order to be fulfilled by BT which should be happening within the next Month or so.

i just want to clarify (Since BT are not helpful) that our setup will work.

we have a UDM Pro Router for which we want BT net to use WAN 1 on it as our primary line.

BT have said they are providing an NTE which i presume will be an ADVA FSP150CP ?

i want the connection to go from the NTE into the UDM Pro, happy to connect in what ever way will work, CAT6, DAC, etc.

can someone confirm this setup will work?

Sorry for late reply but I have set up up an Advanced link into UDM Pro just fine before.
The connection you type you will get on the Adva will be the one specified on order; if it's fibre it means fibre, and you can't use the copper port. Don't try to change any optics yourself. You can use fibre into the UDM Pro but you need an SFP for it.. make sure it matches the spec (multimode, single mode, strength, speed, etc.) I presume you'll have a 1Gbps hand off (on the interface) for a 200Mbps line. Don't try to use a DAC from Adva as the optic in advance is probably BT's responsibility.

What I can't comment on is the IP side as we've only done this internally on our network so that authentication is something you need to confirm with BT. I would have thought a leased line they'd supply a router though.. not just an Adva.. but I may be wrong.

Hey, so our line will now be a 1gb connection.

i have FS SFP & MM patch cable ready to go, its the settings part i need, they are meant to be providing me the details that i need but is their anything specific i need to put in on the UDM pro for subnetting or the Static IP settings etc, addition IP Addresses, VLAN?

Your UDM Pro will do the NAT so it needs a 'public' address or you need to configure PPPoE or something. I've only done this on an Ethernet line where I control the other end rather than as a leased line so that I don't know but you may have to configure DNS server (you can probably use 8.8.8.8 too) as well. Did you order it as MM btw? I have no idea

You need to configure which is WAN1 I think.. so if you're using SFP it will be port 10 or 11.. You'll need to set the connection to Static IP if you get a service that's just routed or PPPoE with username/password if needed (e.g. if you had a broadband service you'd use PPPoE) - ask BT for the settings you need. The inside side it will pretty much do out of the box as I recall.
