Fibre Service Configuration Guide

Introduction

This guide explains how to configure your modem/router/firewall to connect to a fibre NTU/NTD using either a Fibre LC connector or an RJ45 connection. The instructions will cover: - Entering the static IP details provided in your handover document (typically a /30 subnet). - Configuring DNS to 202.3.111.123 and 202.3.111.124.

Prerequisites

  • Fibre NTU/NTD device installed and connected via Fibre LC or RJ45 (depending on your service order).
  • Static IP information (IP address, subnet mask, gateway) from the handover document.
  • DNS: 202.3.111.123 and 202.3.111.124.

Cisco Meraki

  1. Log into the Meraki Dashboard.
  2. Select the Network where your device is located.
  3. Navigate to Security & SD-WAN > Configure > Addressing & VLANs.
  4. Scroll to the WAN section and click Edit next to the relevant WAN interface.
  5. Enter the following:
    • Connection Type: Static IP
    • IP Address: (Enter the static IP provided in your handover document)
    • Subnet Mask: (Enter the subnet mask provided, typically /30)
    • Gateway IP: (Enter the gateway IP provided in your handover document)
    • DNS Servers:
      • Primary: 202.3.111.123
      • Secondary: 202.3.111.124
  6. Click Save Changes.

Your Meraki device should now be connected to the fibre service.

Cisco IOS Router

  1. Access the router via SSH or console.

  2. Enter privileged EXEC mode by typing:

    enable

  3. Enter global configuration mode:

    configure terminal

  4. Configure the interface that connects to the NTU/NTD. For example, if using GigabitEthernet0/1:

    interface GigabitEthernet0/1
ip address <Static-IP> <Subnet-Mask>
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <Gateway-IP>
exit

    Replace <Static-IP>, <Subnet-Mask>, and <Gateway-IP> with the details provided in the handover document.

  5. Set the DNS servers:

    ip name-server 202.3.111.123
ip name-server 202.3.111.124

  6. Exit configuration mode and save the configuration:

    end
write memory

Your Cisco router should now be connected to the fibre service.

Fortigate Firewall

  1. Log into the Fortigate Web Interface.
  2. Navigate to Network > Interfaces.
  3. Select the WAN interface that connects to the NTU/NTD and click Edit.
  4. In the IP/Netmask field, enter the static IP address and subnet mask (typically /30).
  5. Set the Gateway to the one provided in the handover document.
  6. Under DNS Settings, enter:
    • Primary DNS: 202.3.111.123
    • Secondary DNS: 202.3.111.124
  7. Click OK to save the configuration.

Your Fortigate should now be connected to the fibre service.

SonicWall Firewall

  1. Log into the SonicWall Web Interface.
  2. Navigate to Network > Interfaces.
  3. Select the WAN (X1) interface and click Edit.
  4. Change the IP Assignment to Static.
  5. Enter the following:
    • IP Address: (Enter the static IP provided)
    • Subnet Mask: (Typically /30)
    • Default Gateway: (Enter the gateway IP from the handover document)
  6. Scroll down to DNS Settings:
    • Primary DNS: 202.3.111.123
    • Secondary DNS: 202.3.111.124
  7. Click OK to save the configuration.

Your SonicWall should now be connected to the fibre service.

Palo Alto Networks Firewall

  1. Log into the Palo Alto Web Interface.
  2. Navigate to Network > Interfaces.
  3. Select the WAN interface (e.g., ethernet1/1) and click Edit.
  4. Under IPv4 > Type, choose Static.
  5. Enter the following:
    • IP Address: (Enter the static IP provided)
    • Subnet Mask: (Typically /30)
    • Default Gateway: (Enter the gateway IP from the handover document)
  6. Navigate to Device > Setup > Services.
  7. In the DNS Settings section, enter:
    • Primary DNS: 202.3.111.123
    • Secondary DNS: 202.3.111.124
  8. Click OK to apply the changes.

Your Palo Alto firewall should now be connected to the fibre service.

Juniper SRX Firewall

  1. Log into the Juniper SRX Web Interface or use the CLI.

  2. In the CLI, configure the WAN interface:

    configure
set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet address <Static-IP>/<Subnet-Mask>
set routing-options static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop <Gateway-IP>

    Replace <Static-IP>, <Subnet-Mask>, and <Gateway-IP> with the values from your handover document.

  3. Set the DNS servers:

    set system name-server 202.3.111.123
set system name-server 202.3.111.124

  4. Commit the changes:

    commit

Your Juniper SRX firewall should now be connected to the fibre service.

Generic Modem/Router Instructions

  1. Log into your modem/router’s management interface via the default IP (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1).
