Configuration on MikroTik RouterBoard for Optronics 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

Let's start with 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 administration network of the OLT and also be able 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 the 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 by Default IP

For this step, we will create a network segment to connect to our OLT via the Default IP, the network must be similar to the 192.168.8.1/24 segment.

Creation of Network Segment to connect our OLT

Change OLT Default IP

In the previous step, it is explained that a network segment is created to connect our OLT via the Default IP it has. As a best practice, it is recommended to change the OLT Default IP, so we must create a segment in which 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 OLT Default IP.

For our example, we will use the 192.168.20.0/24 segment.

Creation of VLAN and Network Segment for Clients

To provide the service, we must create a VLAN for the clients. For this example, the VLAN 200 will be created, with the Network Segment 192.168.200.0/24.
