MikroTik RouterBoard Configuration for Hioso EPON OLT

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 access

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

Connection through Ethernet port.

Bridge creation.

1 We are going to create a bridge to assign an IP from the default management network of the OLT and also to assign an IP for when we change the default network.
We go to the Bridge section in the menu of our RouterBoard to generate bridge1 interface and thus be able to group the ports that will be working on the OLT network.

2 We assign the two ports connecting to the OLT to bridge1.

Creation of Network Segment to connect our OLT with Default IP

For this step, we will create a network segment to connect to our OLT through the Default IP, the network should be similar to the 192.168.0.1/24 segment.

Creation of Network Segment to connect our OLT

Change Default IP of OLT

In the previous step, it is explained that a network segment is created to connect our OLT through the Default IP the OLT has. As a best practice, it is recommended to change the OLT's Default IP, so we need to create a segment where we will connect our equipment. For now, only the network segment will be created, as in the following configuration steps we will explain how to change the Default IP of the OLT.

For our example, we will use the segment 192.168.30.0/24

Creation of VLAN and Network Segment for Clients

In order to provide the service, we must create a VLAN for the clients. For this example, VLAN 600 will be created, with the Network Segment 192.168.60.0/24
