Generally, there are two pathways to configure and manage Huawei GPON OLT MA5600T and MA5800, one is Command Line, and the other is U2000; the former is simple to operate and the U2000 is complicated but high integration. Huawei OLT service port is used to access subscribers, so adding service ports is a basic configuration once these devices deployed at a new site, and below is a guidance of adding HuaweiOLT service ports via U2000.
Navigation Path
On the GUI of the U2000, the navigation paths to the service ports of Huawei OLT are various. You can select different navigation paths according to the actual service configuration.
1. In the Main Topology, double-click the required NE in the Physical Root navigation tree; or right-click the required NE and choose NE Explorer from the shortcut menu.
2. Choose Connection > Service Port from the navigation tree.
3. In the information list, right-click and choose Add from the shortcut menu.
Guideline
Huawei OLT such as MA5683T or MA5800 X7 service port is used to access subscribers. After the terminal is connected to the service port of the NE, the service streams of the user are carried on a service virtual port of the service port.
When the service virtual port needs to bear multiple services, the NE must support traffic classification.
When the VLAN forwarding mode is SVLAN+CVLAN, the restrictions on the adding of a service virtual port are as follows:
- In the case of the VLAN whose type is smart and attribute is QinQ, you can create only the multi-service virtual port in the user-side VLAN.
- When a service virtual port is created in the stacking VLAN, the inner VLAN and the priority of the stacking VLAN is changed into the user-side VLAN and the priority.
NOTE:
- The configuration parameters of a service virtual port greatly depend on software versions of OLT and the type of the service virtual port. These parameters are dynamically adapted and displayed on the U2000. Therefore, configure these parameters according to the actual conditions.
- Before adding a service port, make sure that a proper VLAN exists.
- When you need to change the rate of a physical port, you can add a service virtual port that is bound to a proper traffic profile.
