An update on using VLAN usage on this SFP. Earlier i mentioned here, In TP-Link ONU i had to use 950 as VLAN ID instead of usual 100 and in ODI SFP i had to use 980. From yesterday ODI SFP also works only in 950 as in TP-Link. For more details on this change, below :D

Earlier i was using static ip, but then canceled couple of months before when 1G trick stopped working. But even after cancellation, they were charging me every month, but ip was no more active. So every month i had to call them and they will refund static ip charges. And finally raised complaint on net@airtel as this become every month routine, even though CC people commit, this wont repeat. In between atleast in bangalore for static ip customers they were started allocating CGNAT ip for PPPOE connection. This is when the VLAN changed from 950 to 980 which i never noticed as i was using Huawei(not TP-Link) and in huawei it is usual 100.

Yesterday i got call from net@airtel people and told me, static ip is cancelled completely and no more monthly charges will be there. After this moment my internet stopped working. When i connected back huawei, it was working fine and noticed i get public ip address now instead of CGNAT. So connected SFP back and VLAN search gave me 950 which was same as in TP-Link.
 
@hariselio I managed to get hold of a ODI DFP-34X-2C2 as well and plan to use it with a pfsense router. However, i do need a working VOIP but it is not clear to me where/how to set the VLAN ID 660. Any idea how to do that?
 
@rajil.s I've set VLAN ID in Mikrotik and set transparent in SFP, but this for internet. So far i've not tried VOIP on this setup as i was not using it. First thing i suggest you to find out the VLAN ID list from the SFP using VLAN search. Once you find the correct VLAN ID, you can try setting up in pfsense router.
 
@rajil.s telnet into sfp's IP address, in my case 192.168.1.1. Enter the following command,

Code:
omcicli mib get 84
or
Code:
omcicli mib get 171

the second one will give something like "Filter Inner" and "Treatment Inner". Here Filter Inner has the VID which we usually use in Airtel's ONT and this SFP doing some kind of mapping to Treatment Inner's VID. Not sure exactly what happens here, but i had to use Treatment Inner VID in Mikrotik.
 
@hariselio is there any way to figure out if the sfp is able to connect with the OLT. Reason for asking is that omcicli commands above are not returning anything. Does that mean the sfp configuration is not correct?
