SmartRG gateways are designed to exceed the high bandwidth demands of either IPTV service
architecture. Refer to the appropriate section below to configure the SmartRG gateway for your
particular IPTV deployment architecture.
Bridged IPTV Configuration
A bridged IPTV configuration is comprised of:
one (or more) WAN connections
one (or more) LAN connections
–
and-
an interface grouping structure to bind all of the connections together
The more generalized bridged IPTV service configuration with multiple WAN connections is shown
below.

Creating Bridged WAN Connections
To configure the SmartRG for bridged IPTV service deployments (with one or more WAN
connections) start by creating the bridged WAN connections:
1.
Create a Layer 2 interface following the instructions detailed in:
a.
“
Configuring the Layer 2 Interface (Ethernet)
”
b.
“
Configuring the Layer 2 Interface (ADSL)
”
or
c.
“
Configuring the Layer 2 Interface (VDSL/PTM)
”
as appropriate for your particular SmartRG (Ethernet or DSL).
2.
Select
Advanced Setup -> WAN Service.

Selecting a Bridged WAN Service’s Layer 2 Interface
3.
Select the Layer 2 Interface (created in step 1 above) from the drop down list and click
Next.

4.
Select “Bridging” and click
Next.
Figure 28 Creating a Bridged WAN Service
5.
Review the bridged WAN service summary and click Apply/Save if you are satisfied.
6.
Repeat steps 1-5 as necessary to support your particular IPTV configuration (i.e. single or
multi-WAN connection).
NOTE
Some DSLAMs require multiple WAN connections to support IPTV services. Contact
your DSLAM vendor for IPTV configuration details.
IMPORTANT
NOTE
The IGMP bridged WAN connection MUST be the last bridged WAN connection
created.
7.
Ensure
“IGMP Snooping” has been enabled on the LAN as detailed in the “
Use Case: Setting
Up the LAN
” section.
8.
Check “LAN(1
-
4)” –
(This segments the four LAN ports into separate interfaces instead of a
single switched block of ports).
9.
Click Apply/Save.

At the conclusion of step 9 your Layer 2 Interface summary (
Advanced Setup -> Layer 2 Interface
)
will look similar to:
Figure 29 IPTV Layer 2 Interface Summary (Multi-WAN Bridge Group)
NOTE
The generalized (more complex) IPTV bridge group is detailed here. The majority of
DSLAMs require only a single WAN connection to support IPTV services. In that typical
case:
The “atm0” interface would provide
routed WAN access for Internet services and
remote management
–
and-
The “atm1” interface would provide bridged WAN access for all IPTV related
services (multi-cast streams, middleware server access and IGMP signaling)
