How to Measure the Transmit Optical Power of an Huawei OLT PON Port?

Check whether the optical module on a PON port of the OLT works properly by measuring the transmit optical power.

Prerequisites

  • The OLT is powered on.
  • The PON board is in the normal state.
  • The PON port is enabled.

Tools, Meters and Materials

  • Single-mode fiber jumper with the SC/PC connector. No longer than 1 m. Best to use new jumper.
  • Burst optical power meter or ordinary optical power meter.

Impact on the System
When the transmit optical power of a PON port on Huawei OLT is measured, the PON port will fail to transmit any service.

Precautions
Before or after measuring the optical power, you need to clean the connector of the optical fiber. This is because if a contaminated optical fiber is connected to a normal optical fiber connector, the connector will be contaminated, which leads to abnormal attenuation and reflection and thus affecting optical path quality.

Procedure
Step 1 Configuring the measure parameters of the optical power meter.
Unit of optical power: dBm
Wavelength: 1490 nm
Step 2 Connect the optical power meter directly to the optical module on the OLT PON port using optical fiber jumper, as shown in Figure The value on the optical power meter is the transmit optical power of Huawei OLT MA5800 PON port.
  • If the value on the optical power meter changes within a range of 0.2 dBm, take the average value.
  • If the value on the optical power meter changes in a range wider than 0.2 dBm, then it is possible that the fiber is not properly connected, the fiber is excessively bent, or the fiber connector has dust.
  • Do not bend the fiber. A bent fiber may affect the test result.
Step 3 Compare the test result with the optical module parameters of the corresponding board in the hardware description.

What Is the Relationship Between the LOF and LOS Alarms?

How to detect LOF and LOS alarms and what is the relationship between these two alarms? What alarm is generated if optical fibers are removed when Huawei MA5606T or MA5652G serves as an Huawei ONU?


LOF indicates loss of frame. When such an alarm is generated, the ONU can receive optical signals. LOS indicates loss of signal. When such an alarm is generated, the ONU fails to receive optical signals. The mechanisms of detecting LOFi and LOSi alarms are as follows:
  • LOFi: If four consecutive frames of an OLT fail to locate an upstream frame of an ONU, the LOFi alarm is generated and the ONU goes offline.
  • LOSi: If four consecutive frames of Huawei OLT fail to receive an upstream optical signal of an ONU, the LOFi alarm is generated and the ONU goes offline.
The relationship between the LOF and LOS alarms is as follows:
  • Use an optical attenuator to test the ATM 155/622 Mbit/s optical port and increase the attenuation gradually. It is found that the alarm status changes as follows: normal -> SD -> LOF -> LOS. This indicates that after LOF is generated, if the attenuation is increased further, no optical signal is received and LOS is generated. If an optical fiber is removed, LOF may be generated first and then LOS, which is related to the alarm detection mechanism. The LOSi, LOFi, and LCDGi alarms are detected in the time window mode. In the first several detections, if the time window detects the threshold for frame losing, the LOFi alarm will be generated.
  • If the PON line generates an LOF alarm, LOS will not be generated. This is because the PON port uses the time division system. If an LOF alarm is generated, the ONT goes offline and then the OLT like MA5603T does not assign the timeslot (bandwidth) to the ONU. Therefore, the OLT does not detect whether the ONT transmits upstream optical signals and an LOS alarm is not generated.
  • If LOS is generated, LOF/SD will be suppressed. This is because LOS is the alarm of the highest severity.

When the MA5606T and MA5652G serve as an ONU and the optical patch is normal, LOS is generated when an optical fiber is removed.

How to Configure MAC Address Table on Huawei S2300 and S3300 Switch

Networking Requirements
As shown in Figure, the MAC address of the user host PC1 is 0002-0002-0002 and that
of the user host PC2 is 0003-0003-0003. PC1 and PC2 are connected to the Switch through the
LSW. The LSW is connected to Eth0/0/1 of the Switch, which belongs to VLAN 2. The MAC
address of the server is 0004-0004-0004. The server is connected to Eth0/0/2 of the Switch.
Eth0/0/2 belongs to VLAN 2.

  • To prevent hackers from using MAC addresses to attack the network, configure two static MAC address entries for each user host on the Switch.
  • To prevent hackers from stealing user information by forging the MAC address of the server, configure a static MAC address entry on the Switch for the server.



Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
1. Create a VLAN and add an interface to the VLAN to implement Layer 2 forwarding.
2. Configure static MAC address entries to prevent MAC address attacks.
3. Configure the aging time of dynamic MAC address entries to update the entries.

Procedure
Step 1 Configure static MAC address entries.
# Create VLAN 2 and add Ethernet0/0/1 and Ethernet0/0/2 to VLAN 2.
<Switch> system-view
[Switch] vlan 2
[Switch-vlan2] quit
[Switch] interface ethernet 0/0/1
[Switch-Ethernet0/0/1] port hybrid pvid vlan 2
[Switch-Ethernet0/0/1] port hybrid untagged vlan 2
[Switch-Ethernet0/0/1] quit
[Switch] interface ethernet 0/0/2
[Switch-Ethernet0/0/2] port hybrid pvid vlan 2
[Switch-Ethernet0/0/2] port hybrid untagged vlan 2
[Switch-Ethernet0/0/2] quit
# Configure a static MAC address entry.
[Switch] mac-address static 2-2-2 Ethernet 0/0/1 vlan 2
[Switch] mac-address static 3-3-3 Ethernet 0/0/1 vlan 2
[Switch] mac-address static 4-4-4 Ethernet 0/0/2 vlan 2
Step 2 Set the aging time of a dynamic MAC address entry.
[Switch] mac-address aging-time 500
Step 3 Verify the configuration.
# Run the display mac-address command in any view to check whether the static MAC address
entries are successfully added to the MAC address table.
[Switch] display mac-address static vlan 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAC Address VLAN/VSI Learned-From Type
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0002-0002-0002 2/- Eth0/0/1 static
0003-0003-0003 2/- Eth0/0/1 static
0004-0004-0004 2/- Eth0/0/2 static
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total items displayed = 3
# Run the display mac-address aging-time command in any view to check whether the aging
time of dynamic entries is set successfully.
[Switch] display mac-address aging-time

Aging time: 500 seconds

Do you know how to Replace a Power Module or Fan Module?

Some switch models support pluggable power modules and fan modules. Figure shows
the fan module slots and power module slots on Huawei S6700-EI switch as an example.
Before replacing a power module, ensure that the switch is powered by the other power
module. Replacing the only power module of a switch will interrupt services.
If two power modules are installed in a switch, they work in 1+1 backup mode. Replacing
one power module will not interrupt services. If you are replacing both power modules,
replace the second one only after the first replaced one is working (its indicator is steady
green).

Tools and Accessories
ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves
Phillips screwdriver
Procedure
Step 1 Wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves. When wearing an ESD wrist strap, ensure that it is in
close contact with your wrist and grounded properly.
Step 2 Turn off the power module.
Step 3 Remove the power cable from the power module. The procedure for removing a power cable
is the reverse of the procedure for installing the power cable.
Step 4 Remove the power module from the Huawei switch.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screw on the power module.
2. Holding the handle, gently pull out the power module.

Step 5 Install the replacement power module in the switch.
Step 6 Connect the power cable to the new power module.
Step 7 Turn on the power module.
Step 8 Use either of the following methods to check whether the new power module is working
normally:
Observe the STATUS indicator on the panel. If the indicator is steady green, the power
module works normally.
Run the display device command to check the running status of the new power module.

Follow-up Procedure
If the new power module does not work normally, contact the equipment supplier or local
maintenance personnel for technical support.

Huawei S1720&S2700&S3700&S5700&S6700 Switch VLAN Termination and Voice VLAN

VLAN Termination
Involved Network Elements
Other network elements are not required.

License Support
VLAN termination, that is, QinQ and Dot1q on a sub-interface, is a basic feature of a switch
and is not under license control.

Feature Dependencies and Limitations

  • Termination sub-interfaces cannot be configured on an Eth-Trunk member interface. 
  • You are advised to add member interfaces to an Eth-Trunk and configure termination sub-interfaces on the Eth-Trunk in sequence. Termination sub-interfaces can be configured successfully on an Eth-Trunk only when the device where member interfaces reside support termination sub-interfaces.
  • The VLAN IDs terminated by a sub-interface cannot be created in the system view or be displayed using a display command.
  • When VLAN IDs terminated by a sub-interface are used for Layer 3 forwarding, only the first VLAN takes effect even if multiple inner VLAN IDs are specified.
  • VLAN termination sub-interfaces cannot be created on a VCMP client.
  • The VLAN terminated by a sub-interface cannot be configured as a super-VLAN or sub VLAN.
  • If the PW-side interface is a Layer 3 interface switched by the undo portswitch command, the AC-side interface cannot be a subinterface belonging to a Layer 3 interface; otherwise, traffic forwarding is abnormal. This rule applies to Huawei S6720-EI, S6720S-EI and S5720EI.
Voice VLAN

Involved Network Elements
Other network elements are not required.

License Support
The voice VLAN can be available only after the S1720GW, S1720GWR, S1720GW-E, and
S1720GWR-E have the license loaded. The S1720GW-E and S1720GWR-E have the preconfigured
license before delivery. CFM is available on other models without loading the license.

Feature Dependencies and Limitations
  • VLAN 1 cannot be configured as a voice VLAN.
  • To transmit different services, ensure that the voice VLAN and default VLAN on an interface are different VLANs.
  • Only one VLAN on an interface can be configured as a voice VLAN at a time.
  • After a voice VLAN is configured on an interface, VLAN mapping, VLAN stacking, or traffic policies cannot be configured on the interface.
  • Do not set the VLAN ID to 0 on an IP phone.
  • The S5720-HI do not support the automatic mode.
  • In auto mode, access, negotiation-auto, or negotiation-desirable interfaces cannot be added to a voice VLAN. To add the interface to the voice VLAN, run the port link-type command to change the link type of the interface to trunk or hybrid.
  • In V200R003 and later versions, the automatic mode takes effect only when the voicevlan remark-mode mac-address command is configured to increase the priority of voice packets based on MAC addresses and the voice-vlan enable command without include-untagged specified is configured to enable voice VLAN on the interface.
  • When the remark (user group view) and voice-vlan remark commands are used together to modify the user packet priority in V200R008, if the services conflict:
– For S5720HI, the priority configured using the remark (user group view)
command takes effect.
– For S5720-EI and S6720EI, the priority configured using the voice-vlan remark
command takes effect.

How to Configure a General ONT VAS Profile?

After configuring a general ONT VAS profile and binding it to an ONT successfully, you can activate the ONT and directly apply the value-added service defined by the profile to the subscribers of the ONT. Each ONT can be bound to only one general ONT VAS profile.
Context
An ONT general VAS profile can incorporate multiple ONT VAS profiles for different ONT types and software versions and therefore can be referenced by those types and versions of ONTs.
An ONT HG8245H for example of V100R003 or a later version can be bound to a general ONT VAS profile only.
If an .xml file containing service configuration data already exists, right-click, and choose Add (Import File) to configure a new general ONT VAS profile.
Procedure
1.    Choose Configuration > Access Profile Management (traditional style) from the main menu or select Fix-Network NE Configuration in Application Centerand choose Access Service > Access Profile Management (application style) from the main menu.
2.    In the dialog box that is displayed, choose PON Profile > ONT VAS Profile from the navigation tree.
3.    Click the General ONT VAS Profile tab.
4.    In the information list, right-click and choose Add from the shortcut menu.

5.    In the dialog box that is displayed, set the required parameters.
6.    Click Next.
7.    In the dialog box that is displayed, set user-defined parameters for Huawei ONTs of different software versions.
Result
On the Terminal Reference tab, you can query all ONTs that are bound to this ONT VAS profile.
Follow-up Procedure
To bind an ONT to a new general ONT VAS profile, right-click, and choose Bind Other General VAS Profile from the shortcut menu
