Configuration on RouterBoard MikroTik for OLT TP-Link

Note

The following steps are to show an example of how the basic structure of a fiber network should be. To have a clearer understanding of how the OLT connection is structured when configuring, you can refer to the following diagram.

Router with Internet output

We will start with the assumption that the equipment already has the initial configurations to have Internet output, so it is required to verify that there is an Internet connection.

Ethernet port connection.

Bridge creation

Let's create a bridge to assign an IP from the default administration network of the OLT and also be able to assign an IP for when we change the default network.

1 Go to the Bridge section in the menu of our RouterBoard to create the bridge1 interface and thus be able to group the ports that will be working on the OLT network.

2 Assign the two ports connecting to the OLT to bridge1.

Vlan creation for hosts

1 Go to the interface configurations and then to the VLAN section, where we will create a vlan with the name vlan100 with ID 100, which will be where the subnet for the hosts will be created.

IP addressing

1 In the IP Address section, assign the IP address to each interface as shown in the following images, based on the topology shown at the beginning of the manual.

2 IP addressing for the default Administration network. This is the network that comes with new TP-LINK OLTs or those that have been reset to default values. This IP address will only serve us to connect to the equipment for the first time, as later on in the OLT configuration we will change it to our administration network.

3 IP addressing for the administration network. This will be the IP address we use to work with our new administration network.

4 LAN addressing for TP-LINK OLT. This address will be the Gateway for the LAN network for the Hosts (ONUs) of Vlan100, which will serve to assign addressing statically, via DHCP, or through a PPPoE server.

Next Step

Once finished, you can proceed to the next step - Initial Configuration New OLT - TP-LINK.
