Create
Use the following procedure to Create an Ethernet Port Profile:
- On the Port dialog screen, click the Create a New Profile (
) icon in the Main Menu bar. The Create Ethernet Port Profile dialog is displayed.
- Enter a Profile Name for this profile, then set the profile values. In the Create an Ethernet Port Profile dialog, refer to the Ethernet Port Profile Attributes table below and fill in the fields as needed to create the Ethernet Port profile.
.Field Description Profile Name Each profile must have a unique profile name. This value is user-defined. Characters can be: alphabetic, numeric, a hyphen (-), or an underscore (_). Blank spaces between characters are allowed. Up to 40 characters may be entered.
Note: This attribute cannot be edited after the profile has been created.
Speed ALERT! An Ethernet port and the customer premises equipment (CPE) must be configured using the same speed Parmeter for proper operation. The likely result of configuring them differently is a half/full duplex conflict and loss of data or video pixilation. Either set both to Auto-Detect or set each to the same Speed and set the CPE to full duplex. The Auto-Detect setting is Default.
The line speed is in Mbps. The other options are: "10", "100", "1000", "2.5G", "5G", "10G", or "Auto-Detect".
Note 1: If a Speed greater than that supported by the ONT is specified, the ONT’s maximum rate is used.
Note 2: Auto-Detect mode must be selected when pause control is desired. This places the port in auto-negotiate mode which is required to enable pause.
Auto-MDIX Enable or Disable auto-MDIX (media dependent interface crossover). Default is Enabled. Max MAC Select Unlimited or Specify the upper limit of authorized MAC addresses. Range is 1 to 256. Default is 16. PHY Hold Time Select the PHY hold time: Never Expire, Immediate, or specify a specific Hold Time.
Note: If Never Expire or Immediate is selected, any Hold Time duration is ignored.
Loopback Detection
Check if loopback violations are to be detected. A loopback violation occurs when the keepalive packet is looped back to the port that sent the keepalive. The switch sends keepalives out all the interfaces by default. A device can loop the packets back to the source interface, which usually occurs because there is a logical loop in the network that the spanning tree has not blocked. The source interface receives the keepalive packet that it sent out, and the switch disables the interface. Default is Enable Loopback Detection and Alarm. - Checked Downstream/Upstream CIR Committed Information Rate (CIR), in multiples of 64 Kbps. If set to 0, there is no rate limit.
The default is 0 Kbps; valid value range is 0 through 1000000 Kbps.Values may be entered in the field or selected via the up or down arrows. If the entered in value is not a multiple of 64, Panorama PON rounds the number up to the next multiple of 64.
Note 1: Some multi-port ONTs support port-based rate control. Resolution varies as the rate increases starting at 64 Kbps. The system rounds up as necessary.
Note 2: Ethernet rate control is only supported on the ONT709G and ONT729F.
Max Burst Size Maximum burst size in Bytes. If set to 0, there is no rate limit.
The default is 0 and the valid value range is 2048 through 60000 Bytes.Pause Frame Enable or Disable pause frames (default is Enabled). Port Alarm Enable Link Flap A Link-Flap alarm may occur when excessive Link-Up / Link-Down events occur. When a total of five Link-Up/Link-Downs occur within a minute or when a total of 20 Link-Up/Link-Downs occur within five minutes, the Link-Flap alarm will be raised when the Port Profile’s "Link Flap Violation" is enabled and when the NAC Profile’s "Access Violation Auto Disable" is enabled. The port will be disabled for the duration of the NAC Profile’s "Auto Enable Delay."
This typically occurs when the equipment attached to this port has malfunctioned or the cabling or connectors attached to this port are intermittently making connections.
The faulty equipment or cabling should be removed or repaired. If this does not remedy the problem, it is possible the ONT is faulty and should be replaced. Default is Enabled.
Link Status
Activates the Link Status alarm when the Ethernet Link goes down. Enable on high priority ports. On normal ports, it is not necessary to enable this alarm. Default is Disabled. Max MAC Violation Enable if a maximum MAC violation is to be detected. Default is Enabled
Dynamic ARP Inspection (FP 30.0 NE and later) DAI Trust State
Provides a Trusted of Untrusted status of DAI ARP Inspection in order to prevent unauthorized snooping on ports.
Default is Untrusted.DCHP Trust State
Provides a Trusted of Untrusted status of DHCP ARP Inspection in order to prevent unauthorized snooping on ports.
Default is Untrusted. - When finished, click on the Apply button.
- An empty Ethernet Line Profile Create Status will be displayed during the creation to be followed by the status.
- When update is finished, click on the Close button.
- If errors are reported, the exceptions appear in the Error Status section. Do one of the following:
- Click Retry to update these ONTs again
- Click Terminate to end the process with the errors.
Note: Typically, these OLT errors are caused by a loss of communication between the Panorama PON server and the ONT.
- When terminating a process with errors, a warning message confirms that the process was aborted. In the dialog that appears, click on the OK button.
Note: A manual synchronization can be performed to update these ONTs. However, if the errors were caused by a communication loss, Panorama PON automatically performs a mini synchronization when communication is restored. - When update is finished, click on the Close button.
-
Go to Step 2 to create more profiles.
-
If no further profiles are to be created, click on the Cancel button to close the Create Ethernet Port Profile dialog.
- When finished, click on the Close button.
- Click on the Close button again to exit the Profiles display dialog.
