Additionally, NTU-RG subscriber equipment is shown on the diagram. Devices of this line of GPON ONTs are capable of operating in router mode, they require configuration of internal interfaces. Configuration can be performed by local connection to an ONT via the web interface or remotely using TR-069 and the built-in OLT or external ACS server.

Configuration

In this example, the same services (Internet VLAN 2149 + IPTV VLAN 30) will be configured that were reviewed in the main section about configuring the equipment Configuring and health checking the equipment (XGS-PON diagram). The configuration procedure for a diagram with the combo XGS-PON + GPON is described below.

  1. Create the cross-connect and ports service profiles for ONT. In this case, the configuration concept will be identical for both ONTs. Configuration of Internet + IPTV in untagged mode is performed at the egress of ONT's LAN interfaces. Therefore, consider creating a common cross-connect profile for NTU-1 and NTX-1. In this example different ports profiles will be created: for NTX-1 — with two LAN ports configured, for NTU-1 — with a single LAN port configured.

    LTX-16C(configure)# ip igmp proxy report range 224.0.0.1 239.255.255.254 from 2149 to 30	#enabling redirecting of report requests of the specified groups from VLAN 2149 to VLAN 30
    LTX-16C(configure)# do commit
    LTX-16C(configure)# do save
    LTX-16C(configure)# exit
  3. Connecting subscriber terminals. According to the above diagram, GPON and XGS-PON ONTs are connected to a single fiber optic line, which in turn is connected to a single combo PON interface OLT. With this connection diagram, the signal attenuation levels for GPON and XGS-PON ONTs must match their respective technologies. These characteristics are reflected in the ONT datasheets. It should also be taken into account that one physical PON combo port 1-2 will correspond to two interfaces configured on the OLT — pon-port 1 and pon-port 2, each of which will have its own unconfigurable type: gpon or xgs-pon. The first in order combo port index will always correspond to the GPON type, the second to the XGS-PON type. This is reflected in the configuration.
        exit
        interface pon-port 1
            pon-type gpon
            ! real port: combo-port 1-2
        exit
        interface pon-port 2
            pon-type xgs-pon
            ! real port: combo-port 1-2
        exit
        interface pon-port 3
            pon-type gpon
            ! real port: combo-port 3-4
        exit
        interface pon-port 4
            pon-type xgs-pon
            ! real port: combo-port 3-4
        exit             ...
    Therefore, when a combo SFP transceiver is plugged into combo-port 1-2 interface, this transceiver is detected on both interfaces belonging to this combo-port, as the combo SFP module itself has two different transceivers — one for GPON and one for XGS-PON.

    Only the special combo GPON+XGS-PON SFP module Hisense LTF5308B-BC+ can be connected to combo PON interfaces. Do not connect other SFP module models, including regular GPON or XGS-PON SFP.

    In addition, detection of unregistered ONTs will take place on pon-port of its type. Inactive ONTs of this tree, working on GPON technology, will be displayed and registered on pon-port 1 interface. XGS-PON — on pon-port 2.

    LTX-16C(configure)# do save

    The dba1 and dba2 profiles are present in the default configuration. Each profile corresponds to a specific technology. dba1 is used for XGS-PON ONT, dba2 — for GPON. When configuring services, you can use the default profiles or create separate ones. For details on DBA configuration, please refer to the User Manual.

  5. Verifying the registration status of the configured ONTs.
