6.2.5 OLT trunk(LACP) Configuration
The device supports the link aggregation protocol LACP which conforms to the IEEE802.3 ad
standard. The LACP protocol is used to bundle multiple uplink ports together to form a single
logical connection to increase the bandwidth of the link and realize backup functions of uplink port,
which means when a port is broken, other ports can still communicate.
Double click the 'Switch Control Card' icon on the left side of the main interface to open the
16
'Control Card Management' window and enter the 'Switch Card Trunk Group Config' page.
The features of OLT LACP are as follows:

The default aggregation group is 16;
All port can be added to a aggregation group;
Support several equalization algorithms based on the source and destination MAC address,
source and destination IP address;
Each port can be assigned to only one aggregation group and cannot be assigned to multiple
aggregation groups at the same time.
LACP Function parameter on EMS are as follows:
Trunk Group ID
Show number of link aggregation groups available by default on OLT, default number is 1-16, link
aggregation groups can’t be added, only can be modified and configured.
Trunk Group Member
Show which uplink port members are already in the link aggregation group.
Trunk Group Name
Name of the link aggregation group.
Trunk Group Policy
Select a strategy of link aggregation negotiation, which can be negotiated in several ways, such as
the source and destination MAC address, source, and destination IP address.

destination MAC negotiation.
6.2.6 OLT Port Mirror Configuration
Port mirror function is used to copy the packets of Source port to other port (destination port), the
user can monitor the packets which copy to the destination port to monitor network and debug. All
uplink port and PON port can be set to source or destination ports.
Double click the 'Switch Control Card' icon on the left side of the main page to open the 'Control Card Management' window and enter the 'Switch Card Mirror' page.
18
Source port
Specify the source port that needs to be captured and analyzed. User should know the concepts of
'Ingress Direct' and 'Egress Direct' first:
'Egress Direct' means the direction of the packets leave the port; ‘Ingress Direct’ means the
direction the packets enter the port.
When only one direction is checked, OLT will copy packets of one direction to the destination port.
When both directions are selected, all packets are mirrored to the destination port.
Destination port
The port that receives packets of the source port.
The configuration of the ports is as follows:
1) select the source port. All ports can be selected as the source port, each port has 'Ingress
Direct’ and 'Egress Direct'.
2) specify the destination port. You can specify one of the ports as the destination port, and all
source port packets will be forwarded to the specified destination port.
[Example of port mirror configuration]
Example: check ge2 in the 'Ingress Direct' and 'Egress Direct' and select ge8 in 'Destination
port' then click 'Set' button. All traffic of ge2 are mirrored to ge8 port.

parameters we can view or configured in the MAC address list are as follows:
Mac Address
Specified mac address, format as: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx or xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
VLAN ID
Display the vlan of mac address which from uplink port or pon port and the the vlan which
we set for static mac address.
Mac Addr Type
There are three options, static, blackhole, and dynamic.
Static represents a static MAC address. When the source MAC address of the packet
matches this static MAC address, it will be forwarded. The static MAC address will not
be cleaned after the aging time.
Blackhole represents the black hole of the MAC address. If the source MAC address
of the message is matched with this MAC address, it is discarded and not allowed to
be circulated.
Dynamic represents a MAC address automatically learnt by OLT, it will be cleaned
after the aging time.
Port ID
Show the port which MAC address learned from.
Click the ‘Add’ button to bring up a window of ‘Add MAC’. We can add a static MAC address to
the MAC address table.
After finishing configuration, click ‘Confirm’ button, at the same time, MAC address list will show

is enabled.
When ‘False’ is selected, the unicast / multicast / broadcast storm suppression function of the port
is disabled.
Unicast / multicast / broadcast inpacket rate
This parameter is used to configure the packet rate limitation, when the
unicast/multicast/broadcast packet rate is higher than the limitation, the storm suppression
function will be enabled, and the corresponding traffic will be suppressed. The limitation value
should be between 1-1488100 pps.
[Example of storm suppression configuration]
Example: The unicast storm suppression function is set to True and the unicast inpacket rate is
5000 pps. The multicast storm suppression function is set to True and the multicast inpacket rate
to 5000 pps. The broadcast storm suppression function is set to True and the broadcast inpacket
rate to 5000 pps. Click 'Set' button after the configuration, a prompt window will pop up and click
the 'OK' button to complete the configuration.

6.2.9 OLT Port VLAN Management
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network), is a kind of technology that logically divided the LAN into
multiple segments based on user demand (functions, departments or applications, etc.) without
considering the physical location of the virtual network. VLAN technology allows a network
administrator to divide a physical network into different logical segments (VLAN), each containing
a set of devices with the same requirements.
The advantage of VLAN technology is that the traffic within a VLAN will not be forwarded to other
VLANs, thus helping to control network traffic, simplify network management and improve network
security.
The VLAN configuration of the GPON system is divided into the VLAN configuration of the OLT
and the VLAN configuration of the ONU part. The VLAN management of the ‘Switch Control Card’ section refers to the VLAN configuration of the OLT part.
The VLAN function of the OLT part of the TP-Link GPON system is as follows:
Support Port-based VLAN and IEEE802.1Q VLAN.
Support full 4K VLAN group, VID range 1~4094.
VLAN 1 is the system reserved VLAN, it includes all switch ports, all ports are UNTAG mode.
All switch ports, including uplink ports and downlink ports support VLAN Partition.
6.2.9.1 OLT Port VLAN Management
Double click the ‘Switch Control Card’ icon on the left side of the main page, open the ‘Control
Card Management’ window, and enter the 'VLAN List' page. Typical page is as follows:
24
The VLAN list has ‘Selected’, ‘VLAN ID’, ‘VLAN Name’, ‘Tag Port’, ‘Untag Port’, ’Modify’ items.
Here's a brief introduction to these projects:
Select
Use to select a VLAN entry.
VLAN ID / VLAN Name
VLAN ID displays all the VLAN ID that are available on the current OLT. VLAN Name displays the
name of the current existing VLAN.
Tag Port / Untag Port
In the Port of Tag Port, the egress packets will be tagged with a VLAN Tag. In the Port of Untag
Port, the VLAN tag of the egress packets will be stripped off.
6.2.9.2 Modify OLT VLAN
Each VLAN entry has a 'Config' button, which is used to modify the VLAN's 'Tag Mode’ and
‘Member Port' as shown below, click 'Confirm' button to complete the configuration after setting up.
