Dears I want to share my experience working with MA5612 MDU. As a lab test, seaking for solutions for our mobile backhaul I configure a MDU MA5612 with one GE optical upstream port instead GPON upstream port, and connect the device directly to my Metro-ETH L2 network compossed of Lanswitchs (S3300&S9300 family). The topology of the network it?s like this:

As you can see above, MA5612 is directly connecte through GE port to the metro-eth lanswitch S3300. 2G and 3G sites access E1 and ETH services respectively to the MA5612.

In MA5612 I configure the following protocols in order to provide PWE3 for tdm (SAToP) service:

- mpls, mpls-te, mpls-rsvp te, mpls cspf, mpls ldp, mpls l2vpn (necessary protocols for TE tunnel configuration)

-configure OSPF and add mpls te attribute in ospf area

- Create a vlanif to transport the mpls/mpls-te protocols

- Crate a tunnel interface

- Use the tdm-vcl command to configure E1 port attribute

- Use the command cesop-connect for create the pw connection

The PW service it?s terminated in the CX600, so you need to configure similar protocols on the CX. Check first if OSPF it?s established between CX and MA5612, then check that the tunnel interface it?s up in both devices (CX and MDU). Finally check that PW it?s up in both devices. Remember that PW id should be the same in CX and MDU, if not PW wont work.

For ETH service, it?s more simple, you just need to configure a vlan and a service port and send the vlan through metro eth to the CX, here I configure a subif with dot1q so I can ping the nodeB from CX. MDU just transport L2 traffic in this case.

What I didn?t test was try ETH PWE3 service in order to manage the ETH service as a circuit. If somebody did it, please share your experience.

Hope this information can be useful for somebody! any questions are welcome!

Best Regards!

Good post. Thank you.

When is connected to the OLT the uplink is GPON, but I think you can check and made some test connecting the ma5612 through GE to the OLT.
