PPPoE / VDSL setup for 1&1

Networking
1

Hi, I am new to IPFire and need help setting up VLANs with my provider (1&1).

I have installed the latest IPFire 2.29 on an old Sophos XG106 hardware. So far everything works. Now I want to replace my Fritz! box with the IPFire firewall. I have configured the red network for internet access.

Can I connect the hardware directly to the VLAN port or do I still need an external modem?

After researching on the Internet, I have configured the following (see picture).
I have not yet set up INET_VLAN (igmpproxy) as I do not use IPTV. Or is INET_VLAN (igmpproxy) absolutely necessary?

I have prefixed an H to the USER name. I have found various sources on the Internet that have recommended this.

Do I have to fill in the columns for additional PPPoE settings somehow?

indeed you need an external VDSL modem :white_check_mark:
also possible solutions are:

  • use a SPOHOS VDSL2 SFP module
  • use the fritzbox as a VDSL modem
