Hello, everyone!
Today, I will continue to explain a new topic – GPON OLT basic operations. Now, in this article, I will explain the in-band management configuration process. Let’s get started.
In the following image, on the left, we see the network topology, which explains how to connect PC and OLT. To the right, the same figure is the IP address planning. This is an example.
The following figure shows us a diagram of the in-band management configuration process. Here we see all the necessary configuration steps.
In this way, the service channel of OLT is used. We need to create VLANs, add them to these upstream ports, then set the IP address for management and finally add a static route. But let's go in order, step by step.
First, it is required by creating a VLAN for management. This is achieved by using the following command:
TEST (config)#vlan 4000 standard
In this way, we created VLAN 4000 as a management VLAN with type standard. The next step is to supply the upstream port. The following command is used for this step:
TEST (config)#port vlan 4000 0/9 0.
In this way, we added VLAN 4000 for management to upstream port 0, control board 0/9. There is also a command with which we can add a VLAN for management on all upstream ports of the control board, it is the following command:
TEST (config)#port vlan 4000 0/9 0-3.
If we want the same configuration for the standby control board, the command is as follows:
TEST (config)#port vlan 4000 0/10 0-3.
The next command is a command for entering in the NMS VLAN interface:
TEST(config)#interface vlanif 4000
TEST(config-if-vlanif4000)#
The command for setting the IP address of the management VLAN interface:
TEST(config-if-vlanif4000)#ip address 10.10.X.X 255.255.255.0
The command for exit from the management VLAN interface:
TEST(config-if-vlanif4000)#quit.
The last step in this process is set the management route:
TEST(config)#ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.X.X.
The next commands are commands for delete upstream port, service port, L3 interface and disable MPLS function:
TEST (config)#undo port vlan
TEST (config)#undo service-port vlan
TEST (config)#undo interface vlanif
TEST (config)#undo mpls
We have to delete these first if we want to delete VLAN.
The VLANs in the system are unique. There can be a maximum of 4000 VLANs in the system. Once created, a VLAN cannot be repeated. VLAN 1 is the default VLAN and cannot be created or deleted.
This is the end of this article. I will explain this topic in the next article >> GPON OLT Basic Operations (9).
Thank you!
