or monitor the performance of the GPON once it is installed?
Cisco Catalyst PON Series switches are managed through the Cisco Catalyst PON Manager NMS tool. The Cisco Catalyst PON Manager is a powerful network management software that enables centralized and single-point PON network operation and management by configuring and monitoring end-to-end devices including OLT and ONT. You can automatically configure and provision devices and service, monitor health and diagnose of the PON network as well as manage upstream and downstream ports resources.
Catalyst PON topology?
Dynamic bandwidth allocation is utilized to assign upstream bandwidth as needed to ONTs. Status-reporting algorithms allow a master controller to rapidly assign time slots in the upstream based on ONT bandwidth requests. In addition, P bits are utilized in both the downstream and upstream to prioritize traffic on the PON network.
Bandwidth guarantee: User bandwidth is guaranteed by the application of DBA (Dynamic Bandwidth Assignment) mechanism and the traffic rate limiting/shaping function. Generally, the VoIP service is set to a fixed bandwidth, the IPTV and video services are set to ensure bandwidth, and the high-speed Internet service is set to the maximum bandwidth. The data stream is limited and shaped by a plurality of line templates to ensure bandwidth guarantee.
Yes. Cisco Catalyst PON Series switches support single or double (Encapsulating IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tags within 802.1Q - QnQ) tagging.
supported over GPON?
VLANs are supported in the same ways that a traditional switched network supports VLANs.
You can manage the OLT device by command lines as well as using the Cisco Catalyst PON Manager. The ONT device can be managed by the PON manager, the local Web Graphic User Interface (GUI), and the ONU Management Control Interface (OMCI).
