IES-5005 Zyxel DSLAM Configuration Guide

 

In this article, I will discuss how to configure IES-5005 DSLAM. For those who want to know about this DSLAM, you can read another article related to DSLAM (READ: What is IES-5005 Zyxel DSLAM ?). 

CONFIGURATION GUIDE 

        Service Requirement : 
  • Service VLAN: 873 
  • Management Modem VLAN: 611 
  • Slot and Port : 3-42 

CREATE VLAN 

        Create service VLAN for the customer VLAN 873.
IES-5005-DSLAM> vlan set 873 sub1 normal tag name CUSTOMER_1 lc 22
IES-5005-DSLAM> vlan set 873 sub2 normal tag name CUSTOMER_1 lc 22
IES-5005-DSLAM> vlan set 873 up1 fix tag name CUSTOMER_1 lc 22
IES-5005-DSLAM> vlan set 873 up2 fix tag name CUSTOMER_1 lc 22
        Naming the VLAN description.
IES-5005-DSLAM> port name 3-42 CUSTOMER_1
        Binding VLAN to the Port 3-42, VLAN 611 is Management Modem VLAN, VLAN 873 is customer service VLAN.
IES-5005-DSLAM> port pvc set 3-42-0/33 bridged llc 611 0 DEFVAL 
IES-5005-DSLAM> port pvc set 3-42-1/34 bridged llc 873 0 DEFVAL 

CHANGE PORT 

Suppose slot 3 port 42 is broken, then the first step is needed to check port configuration first using this command.
IES-5005-DSLAM> port show 3-42 
port 3-42
  name           : CUSTOMER 1
  tel. no        : 
  profile        : Line_192
  alrm prof-span : DEFVAL
  alrm prof-stuc : DEFVAL
  alrm prof-stur : DEFVAL
  state          : enable               mode           : auto 
  pbo mode       : normal_epl           pbo value      : 0 dB
  pmms           : normal

    Press any key to continue, 'e' to exit

pvc setting:

pvc              type    mux   pvid  pri  profile
--------------- ------- ----- ------ ---- --------------------------------
3-42-0/33       bridged  llc     611    0 DEFVAL
3-42-1/34       bridged  llc     873    0 DEFVAL

    Press any key to continue, 'e' to exit

vlan setting:
 vid  port/pvc         type     adv     untag
----- --------------- ------- -------- --------
  611 3-42-0/33       bridged      fix    untag
  873 3-42-1/34       bridged      fix    untag
Then delete PVC in the existing slot 3 port 42
IES-5005-DSLAM> port pvc delete 3-42-1/34
IES-5005-DSLAM> port pvc delete 3-42-0/33
Configured again new PVC in slot 3 port 43
IES-5005-DSLAM> port pvc set 3-43-0/33 bridged llc 611 0 DEFVAL 
IES-5005-DSLAM> port pvc set 3-43-1/34 bridged llc 873 0 DEFVAL 

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 


CHECK PORT STATUS, SNR, and LINE-PROFILE

Check VLAN status, tagging port.

IES-5005-DSLAM> vlan show 873
vid 873:
  name: CUSTOMER 1
  state: enable
                1         2         3         4         5         6         7
  slot 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012

     3 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXFXXXXXX
     4 
     5 

    Press any key to continue, 'e' to exit
        As you can see there is some F in Slot 3 and Port 42, it is shown that this VLAN is bind to slot 3 Port 42.  
Check port status using this command.
IES-5005-DSLAM> show linestat 3-42
                          minRate maxRate payLoadRate noiseMgn
port  link                 (kbps) (kbps)     (kbps)     (dB)   up time
----- ------------------- ------- ------- ----------- -------- --------------
 3-42 up                      192     192         192       22   43d20h48m37s
        The output above shown that. 
  1. Slot 3 Port 42 status is up. 
  2. Line-profile used by the customer is 192 Kbps. 
  3. SNR for this customer is 22 dB. 
  4. Uptime Modem is 43 Days 20 hours 48 minutes 37 second.  

Check SNR and Line Attenuation using this command.
DSL5-D2-XX> show linerate 3-42
slot-port=3-42, DSL line rate
link              = up
min rate          = 192 kbps 
max rate          = 192 kbps
actual rate       = 192 kbps 
noise margin      = 22 dB --- SNR
attenuation       = 5 dB --- Attenuation
linkup count      = 1546
SNR and Attenuation range for GSHDSL DSLAM. 
  • 6dB or less noise margin is very bad, will cause out of sync or intermittent sync problems.
  • 7dB-10dB is reasonable but doesn't leave much improvisation.
  • 11dB-20dB quite stable.
  • 20dB-28dB very good.
  • 29dB or more excellent.

CHECK CE AND MODEM MAC ADDRESS 

        Verify that management modem VLAN 611 is configured on DSLAM
IES-5005-DSLAM> vlan show 611
vid 611:
  name: VLAN_MODEM
  state: enable
                1         2         3         4         5         6         7
  slot 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012

       TTTT
     2 FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
     3 FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
     4 
     5 

    Press any key to continue, 'e' to exit
        Check mac address in Slot 3 Port 42.
IES-5005-DSLAM> show mac 3-42
vid  mac(total:    3)  port
---- ----------------- -----
 611 40:4a:03:d2:fe:ba  3-42 >> Modem Mac
 873 00:01:29:ff:03:18  3-42 >> Customer Mac
 873 40:4a:03:d2:fe:ba  3-42 >> Customer Mac

CHANGE LINE PROFILE 

        Verify the existing line-profile using this command.
IES-5005-DSLAM> profile shdsl show
shdsl profile(s):
----------------------
1. 1024Kbps
2. 1536Kbps
3. DEFVAL
4. Line_192
5. Line_512
6. SPEED_576
7. line_256
8. line_384
9. speed_1.5_M
10. speed_768
11. tes_annexA
        There are 1Mbps, 1.5Mbps, 192, 512 existing line-profile configured. For example, Change the profile to 256. Verify line-profile using this command.
IES-5005-DSLAM> profile shdsl show line_256
shdsl profile: line_256
  max rate      (Kbps): 256
  min rate      (Kbps): 192
  annex mode          : annexb
  wire pair           : 2wire
  line probe          : disable
        Line-profile 256 is matching with configured max-rate. Verify line-rate for slot 3 port 42 before changing line-profile.
IES-5005-DSLAM> show linerate 3-42
slot-port=3-42, DSL line rate
link              = up
min rate          = 192 kbps 
max rate          = 192 kbps
actual rate       = 192 kbps 
noise margin      = 22 dB
attenuation       = 5 dB
linkup count      = 1546
        SNR before line-profile changed is 22db and attenuation is 5 Db Change profile from 192Kbps to 256Kbps
IES-5005-DSLAM> port shdsl set 3-42 Line_256

IES-5005-DSLAM> show linerate 3-42
slot-port=3-42, DSL line rate
link              = up
min rate          = 192 kbps 
max rate          = 256 kbps
actual rate       = 256 kbps 
Noise margin      = 23 dB
attenuation       = 7 dB
linkup count      = 1546
        Now the actual rate, SNR, and attenuation should be changed. If we want to create a line-profile, we can use this command.
IES-5005-DSLAM> profile shdsl set Line_768 192 768 annexb 2wire lp_off 
IES-5005-DSLAM> profile shdsl show Line_768
shdsl profile: Line_768
  max rate      (Kbps): 768
  min rate      (Kbps): 192
  annex mode          : annexb
  wire pair           : 2wire
  line probe          : disable 

CHECK MULTICAST IN DSLAM

        If the customer using dynamic routing, such as RIP/OSPF/EIGRP. We need to allow Multicast routing to ensure dynamic routing is working in CE. Configure this command to activate multicast settings.
IES-5005-DSLAM> multicast smcast set 873 224.0.0.5 sub1 forbid
IES-5005-DSLAM> multicast smcast set 873 224.0.0.5 sub2 forbid
IES-5005-DSLAM> multicast smcast set 873 224.0.0.5 up1 fix
IES-5005-DSLAM> multicast smcast set 873 224.0.0.5 up2 forbid
IES-5005-DSLAM> multicast smcast set 873 224.0.0.6 sub1 forbid
IES-5005-DSLAM> multicast smcast set 873 224.0.0.6 sub2 forbid
IES-5005-DSLAM> multicast smcast set 873 224.0.0.6 up1 fix
IES-5005-DSLAM> multicast smcast set 873 224.0.0.6 up2 forbid
        Verify multicast setting is configured on DSLAM

    The explanation: 
  • No: is the alarming number, the smaller the number, the newer the alarm occurs 
  • Alarm: alarm indicates the type of alarm, for sys, is an alarm for the system, and for DSL is an alarm for DSL modem status. 
  • Condition: is the description of the alarm itself, each alarm has its own condition, for example, for DSL alarms, it has a condition LINE_UP which means modem up, and LINE_DOWN which means modem down 
  • Severity: is the priority level of the alarm 
  • Timestamp: is the time the alarm occurred 
  • Source: is an alarm source, for example for a DSL alarm, the condition is down for slot 3 port 27
