ZTE OLT initial steps


In this post you'll find step by step instructions for initial OLT configuration and for setting up the IP connectivity of the ZTE C300, C320, C350, C220 OLTs. After completing these steps, you'll be ready to connect your OLT to SmartOLT.

For setup instructions of the ZTE C6xx Titan series like C600, C610, C620, C650 or C680 please access this link.

1Connect to the OLT

Connect either with Putty telnet using the default IP address 136.1.1.100 or by Serial cable to CL1 or CLI port using the original SERIAL cable with the correct pinout (commonly used values for serial: 9600-8-N-1, 57600-8-N-1 or 115200-8-N-1). Alternatively, if your Mikrotik has a RJ45 CONSOLE port, you can use a LAN cable from this port to the OLT CLI port for a serial connection in a Mikrotik Terminal window.

The factory IP address of any ZTE C3xx OLT is 136.1.1.100. The default username is zte and the password is zte.
Recently the OLTs come from factory without any username defined (you will receive a message "username or password incorrect" by telnet) and in that case you need to use the original Serial cable (or manufacture a cable using the original PINOUT scheme) to define the first username and password.
After login, if the console displays the sign ">" instead of "#" then the "enable" command will be additionally needed to be entered to gain high privilege mode. The default password for "enable" mode is zxr10 .
For connecting by Telnet: Connect an ethernet cable to the dedicated (out-of-band) management port of the OLT. This management port is typically labeled 10/100 or MNG. It is positioned near the CL1 or DIAG port.
The 10/100 port is an isolated port, designed for management purposes only. This port cannot be used to transport the traffic of the customers.
Configure on your PC or on the ethernet port of the Mikrotik where the OLTs' management port is connected the IP address 136.1.1.1/255.255.255.0 . Verify connectivity by pinging 136.1.1.100, you should receive replies. Then connect to the OLT.

telnet 136.1.1.100
Trying 136.1.1.100...
Connected to 136.1.1.100.

3Configure a new management IP address on the mng1 or VLAN interface


conf t
interface mng1
ip address 10.200.0.2 255.255.255.0

If you connected over the old IP address, reconnect on the new IP address 10.200.0.2.

Add the default gateway and save configuration:
conf t
no ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.200.0.1
exit
write

Check the routing table to confirm the default gateway was applied:

ZXAN# show ip route
Dest            Mask            Gw              Interface    Owner   Pri Metric
0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         10.200.0.1      mng1         static  1   0
10.200.0.0      255.255.255.0   10.200.0.2      mng1         direct  0   0
10.200.0.2      255.255.255.255 10.200.0.2      mng1         address 0   0

4Create a dedicated username/password

This user/pass will be used between SmartOLT and your OLT.

conf t
username smartoltusr password (enter a strong password) max-sessions 16 privilege 15

5Enable telnet service, that is usually factory disabled

conf t
no ssh server only
exit
write

Setup complete

At this stage, your OLT is ready to be interconnected with SmartOLT.

Open your SmartOLT site, go to Settings → OLTs → Add OLT, fill in the fields displayed, click Test connection, and then Save.
