Hello, everyone!
In the last article, I started to explain the process of upgrade OLT. Today, I continue to explain this theme.
After we have set the static ip address and installed and configured Tftpd64, the next step is to connect the PC and OLT. We need two cables to connect the PC and OLT - utp cable and console cable.
We will use a console cable to connect PC and CON port on the control board. With this cable, we can configuration of OLT. With UTP cable, we need to connect ETH port of PC and ETH port on the control board. Next picture show this situation (OLT MA5800-X15, main control board – 0/8).

Now, we need to set static ip address on the OLT. The next commands show us this process:
TEST(config)#interface meth 0
TEST(config-if-meth0)#ip address X.X.104.2 X.X.255.0 description MNG
TEST(config-if-meth0)#display this
{ <cr>|include-default<K>|interface<K>|ipv6<K>||<K> }:
Command:
display this
#
interface MEth0
ip address X.X.104.2 X.X.255.0
#
return
After that, we can check the connection between OLT and PC with ping command. If we can ping IP address of OLT from PC, but we cannot ping IP address of PC from OLT, the problem is the firewall on the PC. We must turn-off the firewall like in the next picture.
TEST(config)#ping X.X.104.10
{ <cr>|ip-forwarding<K> }:
Command:
ping X.X.104.10
PING X.X.104.10: 56 data bytes, press CTRL_C to break
Request time out
Request time out
Request time out
Request time out
Request time out
--- X.X.104.10 ping statistics ---
5 packet(s) transmitted
0 packet(s) received
100.00% packet loss

After turn off Windows Firewall, we can check ping again:
TEST(config-if-meth0)#quit
TEST(config)#ping X.X.104.10
{ <cr>|ip-forwarding<K> }:
Command:
ping X.X.104.10
PING X.X.104.10: 56 data bytes, press CTRL_C to break

round-trip min/avg/max = 3/4/12 ms
The following command is used to display the OLT version:
TEST(config)#display version
{ <cr>|backplane<K>|frameid/slotid<S><Length 3-15>||<K> }:
Command:
display version
VERSION : MA5800V100R018C00

Now everything is ready for the OLT upgrade, however, before that we need to do the backup data and configuration. In the next article, I will show the main commands for the upgrade on the OLT.
Thank you!
