Idk if I should split this off to another thread but I will ask here for now? Is there any ONT which allows user to change ONT Serial and ONT MAC?
 
In Bangalore I don't have this issue. I have swapped my ONT with another with zero config changes. I have the dumb ONT.

I doubt it's the ONT mac though. What do you see in the PPPoE logs when you initiate the auth when bridged with a different ONT?
 
Why you accepted this ont when you paid rs.750 for dumb ont?
I guess only your lco can solve this by making changes in olt. Ask him. In excitel you are left to mercy of lco.
 
It wasn't a "worse" ONT that's why I took it. Didn't expect this problem

it does Register with my other ONT

This is the PPPoE config

The cable is indeed connected properly, I put in the IP of ONT in PFSense and it loaded the WebUI fine. Just PPPoE don't seem to work.

Here are the logs:

I'm not sure if this is the case, but when using pfsense I had a similar issue. The mac clone never worked if I did it from the PPPoE interface or something along those lines. I think I had written a post about it, I don't recall the exact issue.

But it is worth trying the PPPoE from another device which has mac cloning to see if it makes a diff.
