Vumatel Raycore ONT

Is there any reason why they're saying we should only connect a router to LAN1?

I'm just curious, what will happen if I plug a spare router into LAN2?

@pinball wizard @cavedog you gents seem to be in the know with these things.

There's different vlans on the different ports, I believe, so they might not work.

I plugged a spare router into LAN2, it works, but now nothing connected to LAN1 works...

My WAN IP remains the same.

Not sure about the Vumatel cpe. On openserve you use lan1 because the other 3 has been disabled so plugging anything into them does nothing.

Well at least now we know the other ports of the Raycore on Vuma work, but only one is allowed to be active at any given time.

Why would they do that? They're so greedy, I doubt they will or have ever banned anyone from their network.

The Vumatel Raycore CPE has all 8 ports mapped to the same VLAN (unless you've somehow got a VoIP / IPTV service assigned - not that anyone that I know of has these services). The problem is that you're only allocated a single address for DHCP allocation to your router. Plug in a new router and the network has to decide which gets the IP address. There are also MAC rate limiters on the Raycore, so too many MACs (IE using it as a LAN switch) will cause problems.

The reason all ISPs insist on port 1 is that the other 50% of vuma's network (Aerial) only provisions port 1, same goes for all other FNOs - so for the sake of eliminating confusion, we all insist on port 1.

Basically - on all networks: CPE (port 1) > WAN of your router (1 MAC, 1 address) > your LAN - this way none of your MACs leak back and cause havoc.
