VZ FiOS Triple Play + DVR VLAN pass through

October 31, 2020 06:28

Hi everyone, I am hoping that another Firewalla Gold customer has figured out which vlans Verizon uses for its triple play with dvr. I would like to use FWG as my primary router and put the actiontec G3100 in AP mode. The G3100 is already connected to the ONT via the WAN port and the coax is connected to a splitter to provide MoCA services to the cable boxes and dvr. My desired configuration is: ONT -> FWG -> G3100 -> cable boxes Has anyone determined the VLAN IDs that Verizon FiOS uses? If not, is there a way I can determine (wireshark?) the VLANs used? Thanks in advance for the help! -Dan Referenced support article: https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050756593-Firewalla-Gold-Triple-Play-VLAN

You might look at this site. It looks like you have to get Verizon to activate the Ethernet port on the ONT

I don’t have this, just a quick google search.

Hi James. Thanks for your response! Yes, I have already switched to ethernet from the ONT which is why inserting the FWG in-path is possible.
So where I am confused is there is the FWG-triple-play article I referenced above that states that you have to pass thru the VLANs from FiOS or you will lose your triple-play and I have this reddit article describing a similar switcheroo with a ubiquity USG that says all you need is a MoCA head-end device connected to your router and it will work:

Before I goof-up my service and piss off the wife and kids, I was hoping that someone has done this before and can weigh in on whether VLANs are even a consideration or not.

Thanks!!

Doing a little more web searching I could not find any mention to the vlans, you might have to call them and ask what vlans they use.

Sorry I can be of no help here.

I have this configuration ONT -> FWG -> AP and FWG -> MoCA adapter, with FiOS, and haven't had to do anything with VLANs. DVR works fine. Hope that helps!
