Ubiquity USG 3 Port with Centurylink Tecnicolor C-2100t

@jaredbusch Since it's Fiber, do I even need the CenturyLink C2100T?

They're probably using one of the point to multipoint protocols, I forget what the standard(s) is called off hand. It's not a normal network fiber connection.

Why does your gear need to be in bridge mode? In my experience it’s the ISPs router that has to be in bridge mode passing all the traffic directly onto your firewall which is in normal mode.
Jared of course will tell me I’m wrong if I am.

The C2100T is from the ISP. So you are misunderstanding something here.

That depends on the actual handoff. Is it simply Ethernet? Then no, you don't need it most likely.
I did look at your first post agian, and if the WAN side of the C2100T is handling the tagged VLAN on 201, are you sure that the LAN side is tagged still?

Pretty sure it's not. I didn't know you had to tag the LAN side. Do I need to tag ports in the switch as well?

My point was depending on what the thing is actually doing to "bridge" the traffic, you may or may not need to have your USG tagged to VLAN 201.
The C2100 WAN is certianly tagged 201. But that doe snot mean the LAN port is.

@jaredbusch I have tried with the WAN both tagged and untagged but haven't done anything as far as tagging on the LAN side.

You need be very specific.. WTF are you tlaking about.
-
@jaredbusch Because the device is offline while you are configuring the PPOE on the WAN side, there is a place for VLAN tagging in the UI for the USG. You can put in the username, password and there is a checkbox for VLAN. I have tired it with checking the box for VLAN and putting in 201. I have also tried the PPOE credentials without checking the box for VLAN.

See this is why I said that.. Nothing I was jsut talking about has jack shit to do with the USG.
I was exclusively discussing the C2100T

Factory reset seems to have been needed.

That and removing the silly "modem" from the chain. It's direct now.

I asked that and didn’t get an answer.
