How to configure the GPON access service? (Profile Mode)

The GPON access supports high-bandwidth transmission, which effectively removes the bandwidth bottleneck in the access through twisted pairs and meets the users’ requirements on high-bandwidth services, such as high definition TV (HDTV) and live programs. In this topic, we take Huawei MA5680T and MA5628 ONU as examples to introduce how to configure the GPON access service.

Prerequisites

The profile mode can be enabled only when the version of the MA5680T or MA5683T is later than V800R006.

The corresponding VLAN must be already created in the system.

The upstream port of the VLAN must be already configured.

The MEF IP traffic profile must be already configured in the system.

In the profile mode, you are required to configure the line profiles and service profiles and download to the NEs so that they can be applied to the GPON access services.

The line profile must be already configured in the system.

The service profile must be already configured in the system.

Context

The Gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON) technology provides flexible access for broadband and narrowband services, and supports ultra-high bandwidth, multi-rate mode, and single optical fiber for providing users with voice, data, video, leased line, and distributed services over the IP network.

The GPON access service has various scenarios, which are mainly fiber to the home (FTTH), fiber to the building (FTTB), and fiber to the curb (FTTC). For different scenarios, the basic configuration procedures are the same except for some configuration data. Table 1 describes the differences of the configurations in different scenarios.

Table 1 Configuration description of the GPON access service in different scenarios

Application Scenario General Networking Description
FTTH The ONU is installed at the user’s home to povride the user with multiple services through the Ethernet port and the telephone   port. · When configuring the triple play service, you need to configure   different T-CONTs and GEM ports for the three types of services to separate the traffic. In addition, you need to configure different VLANs on the user side to distinguish the services.

· When configuring the home Internet access service, if multiple PCs connected to the same ONU need to interconnect with each other, you need to configure the services of all the ports provided by the ONU with the same T-CONT and GEM port. In addition, the VLAN configuration of the ports must be the same.

· If the ONU is connected to service terminals such as PC and STB that do not support the packets with a VLAN tag, you need to configure the native VLAN for the ONU port. Then, a VLAN tag is added to the packet when the packet reaches the ONU port and removed from the packet when the packet is transmitted from the ONU port.

FTTB The ONU is installed in a building corridor and is connected to a layer-2 switch which provides multiple Ethernet ports for providing users with access services. · When configuring the home Internet access service, if multiple users   connected to the ONU need not interconnect with each other and each user needs to be authenticated individually, you need to configure the users on each ONU port with different T-CONTs, GEM ports, and VLANs.

· When this scenario is applied in the small office and home office (SOHO) network, the ONU is connected to a layer-2 switch. In this case, you need to configure the services on each ONU port with different T-CONTs and GEM ports.

· When the ONU is connected to a layer-2 switch, the packets that reach the ONU carry VLAN tags. In this case, you need not configure the native VLAN   for the ONU port, but you need to make sure that the user-side VLANs are consistent with the VLAN tags of the packets.

FTTC The ONU is installed in the cabinet at the curb and is connected to a Mini DSLAM or a Mini DSLAM with the GPON upstream function to provide users with access services. You only need to configure the service port for theMA5680T or MA5683T according to the upstream VLAN of the Mini DSLAM. Since each service port may carry heavy traffic, it is recommended that you   configure different T-CONTs and GEM ports for different service ports.

4. Provisioning a GPON FTTB Service (OLT in Profile Mode)

This topic uses gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON) as an example to describe how to quickly provision an xPON FTTB service in profile mode. In an xPON FTTB network, the MA5680T or MA5683T, functioning as an OLT, connects MDUs or ONUs over the ODN network. The ONUs or MDUs then provide services for users. Depending on the access modes of MDUs, users can access an MDU in LAN mode or xDSL mode to access composite services, including voice, Internet access, and multicast services.

Prerequisites

The MA5680T communicates successfully with MDUs.

The corresponding VLAN has been added to the system.

The upstream port of the VLAN has been configured.

The MEF IP traffic profile has been configured on the system.

In profile mode, you need to configure a line profile rather than a service profile.

Context

The following functions are provided to optimize certain operations:

Provisioning other FTTB services such as Internet access, voice, and multicast services by adding tab pages. On a new tab page, you can set Service Type, Service Name to provision a service. Service Name is a character string consisting of a maximum of 4 bytes.

Storing certain information. When you click OK to complete the configuration, certain parameter settings are stored. The stored settings are displayed for reference the next time you set the same parameters.

Configuring ONT value-added services by clicking Configure Value-Added Service or switching to the Add Service mode by clicking Switch on the upper right corner.
