The H80CASPB voice board of the MA5680T cannot
be registered
Author: Huawei GTAC Li Qiang
Device model version: MA5680T MA5600V800R018C10 SPC225
Issue description
The H80CASPB voice board of the MA5680T cannot be registered

and the board status is “failed”.
Handling process
1. Run the “display io-packetfile information” command to check
whether the IO board package file of the ASP board exists.
Ensure that the H80CASPB IO board package file exists.

2. Check whether the system application scenario is MSAN.
Ensure that the system works in MSAN mode. The MSAN mode
applies to the full-service integrated access scenario, including
optical access (PON and P2P), xDSL access and voice access. In this
mode, all boards and services are supported.
3. Check the voice file because the ASPB board is a voice board.
If no voice file is available, load a voice file.
4. Obtain the voice file voice_chn_101.z of the corresponding version
from the support website.
Load the voice file through FTP.
5. Restart the device and check whether the LPU is registered

normally.
Root cause
The MA5680T doesn’t have the voice file loaded. As a result, the ASP
voice board cannot be registered.
Solution
Run the load voice command to load the voice file.
To load the voice file voice_a.z from the FTP server with the IP
address ##.##.##.## to the active control board, follow these
steps:
huawei#load voice
{ ftp<K>|sftp<K>|tftp<K>|xmodem<K> }:ftp
{ ServerIpAddress<I><X.X.X.X> }:##.##.##.##
{ filename<S><Length 1-128> }:voice_a.z
{ Options<E><active,standby> }:active
Command:
load voice ftp ##.##.##.## voice_a.z active
Whether to start loading? (y/n)[n]:y
Load(backup, duplicate,...) begins, please wait and notice the rate of

progress
Any operation such as reboot or switchover will cause failure and
unpredictable result
The loading starts
MA5800-X7 cannot synchronize with NCE through
the VPN instance
Author: Huawei GTAC Mexico GSC Carlos Arturo Navarrete Martinez
Issue description
The iMaster NCE cannot manage MA5800-X7, the synchronization by

ftp/sftp or tftp is not successful. The NE backup cannot be done.
Handling process
The NCE can ping the OLT, but the OLT cannot ping the NE directly.
The OLT has in-band management, the VLAN interface uses a VPN
Instance.
Root cause
The VPN instance corresponding to the xFTP server is not configured.

The xFTP server is the NCE. Because of this, the NE synchronization
or data configuration is not possible.
Solution
The VPN instance assigned to the xFTP Server (NCE) should be

specified according to the following command:
sysman sftp vpn-instance 192.**.**.10 VPN_NAME
Summary
The sysman vpn-instance(xFTP) command is used to configure the

VPN instance corresponding to an xFTP server. By executing this
command, a VPN instance can be designated for the specified IP
address of an xFTP server. Once executed successfully, when a
device communicates with the user-specified xFTP server, it
processes only requests on the corresponding VPN, but not requests
from other VPNs or public networks.
The ONT cannot be automatically discovered after
the PON port of the OLT is changed
Author: Huawei GTAC Li Qiang
Product: MA5800V100R019C12
Issue description
After the ONT registered with the MA5800 is changed from port 14 to
port 13, the ONT cannot be automatically discovered.
MA5800(config)#display ont autofind all

{ <cr>||<K> }:
Command:
display ont autofind all
Failure: The automatically found ONTs do not exist
Handling process
1. Confirm that the ONT has been registered.

SN of the target ONT: XXXXXXXXXXXXXABC
(config-if-gpon-0/11)#display ont register-info 14 1
{ <cr>||<K> }:
Command:

DownTime : 2023-02-05 16:42:10+08:00
DownCause : ONT link-down
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Check whether the ONT is connected to PON port 13.

It is found that the information shows the target ONT is successfully
connected to port 13 in slot 11 of the subrack. The ONT is offline
because the authentication fails. This indicates that the optical
channel is normal.

3. Verify the global xPON configuration.
It is found that the authentication conflict detection is enabled on
the device.
display xpon global-config

4. Disable the authentication conflict detection.
MA5800(config)#ont autofind conflict-check disable
5. Check whether the ONT is automatically discovered on PON port

13. Ensure that the ONT is automatically discovered through the 13th
PON port in slot 11.
MA5800(config)#display ont autofind all

VendorID : HWTC
Ont Version : 172D.A
Ont SoftwareVersion : V5R019C00S105
Ont EquipmentID : EG8040H5
Root cause
The authentication conflict detection function is enabled on the OLT.
When the auto-discovery authentication conflict detection function
is enabled, an authentication conflict occurs if the auto-discovery
ONT has been authenticated. In this case, an authentication conflict
alarm is reported. Therefore, the auto-discovery event is not
reported.
Solution
Method 1: Disable the authentication conflict detection on the OLT.
Method 2: Delete the ONT from the original PON port and then add
the ONT to the new PON port. If the multicast service is configured,
delete the multicast service, the service flow and then the ONT.
The OLT 10GE port fails to connect to the switch
Community External Author: Tomas Marcena
Background knowledge
Figure 1: Typical architecture of the access network
The upstream connection is crucial to connect the OLT and the ONTs
to the aggregation and core layers of the carrier/ISP network. If the
OLT has no uplink connection to the upper layer devices, there will be
no service available for the ONTs.
User device information
Equipment: SmartAX MA5608T

Firmware Version: R015C00
Board: H801MCUD01
Issue description
The customer reported that the OLT upstream port did not link with
the S6730 interface at 10GE rate, nor at GE. The customer topology is
represented below.
Figure 2: Topology representation
Both ends have working 10GE SFP+ and proper fiber connections as
well. The SFP+ and the fibers have been previously validated and
they’re working properly in other equipment.
Handling process
The first step is to check how the rates are configured in the uplink
interfaces. The interfaces’ status can offer a lot of information
regarding what might be incorrectly configured. By running the
“display board 0/2” command, the following information comes up:
Figure 3: Display board 0/2 ( before)
The customer reported that the interface he is trying to configure is

the 0/2/3 interface, which has the optic status mismatch and the
speed set as auto.
In the documentation, it is observed that the "mismatch" status
refers to the SFP type and the port speed.
Figure 4: Display port state(ethernet) - ICS Documentation
Root cause
The port is configured for the GE communication while the SFP+ is

10GE. This creates the mismatch state in the “Optic Status”.
Many OLT MPUs do not support the auto-neg function, especially in
older firmware versions. As a general rule, it is recommended to keep
it off.
Solution
Since the customer wants to link at 10GE rate, 2 parameters have to

be changed:
•port type: change port type from GE to 10GE.
•auto negotiation: off, for exclusive 10GE rate.
The commands below do the operations described above.
MA5608T(config-if-mcu-0/2)#auto-neg 3 disable
MA5608T(config-if-mcu-0/2)#speed 3 10000
After that, the board status is checked again.
Figure 5: Display board 0/2 (after)
Now the Port Type is 10GE and the Link is online.
