ONT 1031 is not being deducted by the ESSE when connected thru' a catalyst 3550 switch.
Question 1 :
Is L2NMP protocol required for the management of ONT 1031 by ESSE supported by the Catalyst 3500 / 2950 series switches
Question 2:
Is there any IOS upgrade required for L2NMP support in normal cisco workgroup switches
Question 3:
Can the ONT 1031 ONLY be configured by ESSE only when connected to the Catalyst 4000 switch running CatOS
Question 4:
Is there any workaround to configure ONT 1031 using ESSE without catalyst 4000 switches.
My network setup is explained as follows :
We have a catalyst 3550 switch with 1000Base-LX GBIC connecting to the Access Port (GBIC port) of ONT 1031 and the Ethernet port ( subscriber end ) is connected to a PC with 3Com 10/100 Mbps NIC.
The Ethernet Subscriber Solution Engine Ethernet 0 port is connected to the management station using cross-cable while the Ethernet 1 ( access port ) is connected to the same 3550 switch.
CDP is enabled in ethernet 1 interface of ESSE & the 10/100 port connecting to ESSE and GBIC port connecting to ONT 1031 are in the same VLAN ( default VLAN 1 )
Though the ONT 1031 LED moves to ORANGE when connected to cisco 1000Base-LX uplink in the 3550 switch, it is not being discovered by ESSE ?
Can anybody help me to configure the ONT 1031's using ESSE with just cisco workgroup switches.
Thanking you in advance
