If you have a new Huawei OLT and you want to set it up to use it with Xelynx, then follow the following steps:
In this step, we will connect our computer to Huawei olt via telnet. By default, Huawei OLT has a default IP address 10.11.104.2. To access IP we need to connect an ethernet cable from the computer to the Huawei olt dedicated (out-of-band) ETH port. At the command line interface, you will find this port named meth0.
ETH port is designed only for management; you can’t use this port for passing traffic to customers. This ETH port is isolated from other ports. In case you want to use a serial cable to connect to the serial console port instead of telnet, the settings are: 9600-8N1. The Mgmt ETH port is an isolated port, designed for management purposes only. This port cannot be used to transport the normal traffic of the customers.
Configure the IP address 10.11.104.1/255.255.255.0 on your PC or on the ethernet port of the Mikrotik where the OLTs' management port is connected. Verify connectivity by pinging 10.11.104.2, you should receive replies. Then open a telnet connection to the OLT.
The default username is root and the password is admin. For R017 and newer firmware the root password is admin123 telnet 10.11.104.2 Trying 10.11.104.2... Connected to 10.11.104.2. >>User name:root >>User password: MA5608T> MA5608T> enable MA5608T#
In this step, we will check how many service boards are attached with the olt. Service board available are normally EPON and GPON. By default the Huawei 5608T has the option to add 2 service boards, 5800 x7 model support 7 pcs service board, 5800×17 support 17 pcs service board.
First, we will check how many service boards are detected by OLT and confirm those boards for workable. MA5608T> MA5608T> enable MA5608T# config MA5608T(config)# display board 0 Using this command a list of attached boards will display with Auto_find status. Now we will confirm those board. MA5608T(config)# board confirm 0/0 MA5608T(config)# board confirm 0/1 MA5608T(config)# board confirm 0/2 MA5608T(config)# save Now your OLT boards should be in Normal or Active_normal status.
Configure your allocated management IP address for this OLT, in this example it's 172.16.0.2, with default gateway 172.16.0.1 on the out-of-band meth0 ETH interface: MA5608T> enable MA5608T# config MA5608T(config)# interface meth0 MA5608T(config)# ip address 172.16.0.2 255.255.255.0 Reconnect to the OLT on the new IP address 172.16.0.2. Add the default gateway and save configuration: --- make sure the default gateway IP address 172.16.0.1 is already configured on your router --- MA5608T> enable MA5608T# config MA5608T(config)# undo ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 MA5608T(config)# ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.0.1 MA5608T(config)# save Press Enter again to confirm the save action of both data and configuration.
Create a dedicated username/password. This user/pass will be used by XelynxOLT to connect to your OLT. MA5608T> enable MA5608T# config MA5608T(config)# terminal user name User Name(length<6,15>): xelynxoltuser User Password(length<6,15>): (insert a strong password here) Confirm Password(length<6,15>): (confirm the password) User profile name(<=15 chars)[root]: (press ENTER) User's Level: 1. Common User 2. Operator 3. Administrator: 3 Permitted Reenter Number(0--4): 4 User's Appended Info(<=30 chars): (press ENTER or a comment like XelynxUser) Adding user successfully Repeat this operation? (y/n)[n]: n For safety, change the root password: MA5608T(config)# terminal user password User Name(<=15 chars): root New Password(length<6,15>): (insert a strong password here) Confirm Password(length<6,15>): (confirm the password) Information takes effect Repeat this operation? (y/n)[n]: n
In some cases, depending on the OLT firmware version, these extra commands will enable telnet and SNMP: MA5608T# config MA5608T(config)# sysman service telnet enable MA5608T(config)# sysman service snmp enable Then bind the telnet/snmp to all the interfaces: MA5608T(config)# sysman server source telnet any-interface MA5608T(config)# sysman server source snmp any-interface Finally, make sure no firewall is enabled for the services: MA5608T(config)# sysman firewall telnet disable MA5608T(config)# sysman firewall snmp disable
At this stage, your OLT is ready to be interconnected with XelynxOLT system. Open your xelynx.com site, go to Settings -- OLTs -- Add OLT. Fill in the fields displayed, and click the Save button. # Other general settings (If you use XelynxOLT, these are configured automatically, no need to configure them manually): MA5608T> MA5608T> enable MA5608T# config MA5608T(config)# autosave interval 1442 MA5608T(config)# autosave type all MA5608T(config)# autosave interval configuration 480 MA5608T(config)# autosave interval on MA5608T(config)# ntp-service unicast-server 91.189.89.199 MA5608T(config)# ntp-service unicast-server 80.96.196.58 # Optionally, you can configure an "in-band" IP address on a VLAN interface. This is useful when you want to manage the OLT using the same physical interface that is used for normal traffic of the customers. We do not recommend this scenario because if a loop happens in the ONT, undetected by the ONT/OLT and the uplink port is shutdown by the uplink device as a reaction to the loop, you will lose the IP connectivity with the OLT as well. MA5608T> enable MA5608T# config MA5608T(config)# interface vlanif 100 MA5608T(config)# ip address [IP] [MASK]
