5. Universal DHCP Option 66/67 Provisioning (every OLT Vendor)

Document Date and version	2021.02.15
Revision	2

Found something we can improve? Let us know at support@halny.com

• If DHCP option 66 and 67 is set, ONT will firstly try to download a file with the name set in option 67.
• If option 67 is set to „serial” then ONT will try to download file with the name that comprises its GPON Serial number. For example, if GPON SN is HALN2006fff68 then ONT tries to download HALN206fff68.xml (the character after HALN has to be lowercase) file from FTP/TFTP/HTTP.
• If the autoprovisioning mode is used without 67 (filename) set, but with option 66 (server name) set, ONT will only try to download a file with the name that comprises its GPON serial number – HALN206fff68.xml
• *DHCP option 66/67 has higher priority that Dasan Provisioning – when you have atleast DHCP 66 option configured on your DHCP server, Dasan Provisiong won’t start.
• for Halny Routers(HLE-3GM, HLE-4GMV) or ONT in EtherWAN mode, universal provisioning as default is enabled on WAN0 (default vlan 3890).
• Halny device starts to download XML file when interface  on ip-host/WAN0 will get DHCP ACK.

Proper value for option 66/67 options

Option 66: IP address based on protocol:
Attention!
FTPS/HTTPS are supported from V2.0.19/V3.0.15
TFTP is supported from V2.0.16/V3.0.9

• for FTP (login credentials, ip address and port):
  • ftp://user:password@192.168.1.67 (default port 21)
  • ftp://user:password@192.168.1.67:2121
  • ftp://192.168.1.67 (anonymous)
• for FTPS (login credentials, ip address and port):
  • ftps://user:password@192.168.1.67 (default port 990)
  • ftps://user:password@192.168.1.67:3131
  • ftps://192.168.1.67 (anonymous)
• for HTTP (contains IP address and port):
  • http://1.1.1.1 (default port 80)
  • http://1.1.1.1:8080
• for HTTPS (contains IP address and port):
  • https://1.1.1.1 (default port 443)
  • https://1.1.1.1:4433
• for TFTP (contains IP address and port):
  • tftp://192.168.1.68 (default port 69)
  • tftp://192.168.1.68:6969

Option 67: filename – in this example ONT has SN: HALN306faeb8

Is option 67 exist?	Value of DHCP option 67	Requested XML file
YES	“serial”	HALN306faeb8.xml
YES	“2NET_2IPTV.xml”	2NET_2IPTV.xml
YES	“”	HALN306faeb8.xml
NO		HALN306faeb8.xml

Topology and service scenario

Implementation from V2.0.11 firmware version

Sample configuration for Linux DHCP Server (isc-dhcp)

1. Installation isc-dhcp-server

Install isc-dhcp-server from debian/ubuntu repository

 $apt-get install isc-dhcp-server

Select default network interface for isc-dhcp-server

$nano /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server

 # Defaults for isc-dhcp-server (sourced by /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server)

 # Path to dhcpd's config file (default: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf).
 #DHCPDv4_CONF=/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
 #DHCPDv6_CONF=/etc/dhcp/dhcpd6.conf

 # On what interfaces should the DHCP server (dhcpd) serve DHCP requests?
 #       Separate multiple interfaces with spaces, e.g. "eth0 eth1".
 INTERFACESv4="enp0s3"
 INTERFACESv6=""

2. Simple isc-dhcp-server configuration with DHCP option 66/67

Edit isc-dhcp-serverconfig file

/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

subnet 192.168.30.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        range 192.168.30.2 192.168.30.254;
        option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
        option routers 192.168.30.1;
        option broadcast-address 192.168.30.255;
        option tftp-server-name "ftp://login:password@192.168.30.245";
        option bootfile-name "serial";
}

Where 192.168.30.245 is FTP server address.

Set static ip address of dhcp-server interface

$cat /etc/network/interfaces
 
auto enp0s3
iface enp0s3 inet static
        address 192.168.30.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0

3. Hardware-mask configuration

You can add option 66/67 only for HALNY ONT using hardware mask:
Edit isc-dhcp-server config file:

/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

subnet 192.168.30.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        range 192.168.30.2 192.168.30.254;
        option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
        option routers 192.168.30.1;
        option broadcast-address 192.168.30.255;
}
if substring(hardware, 1, 3) = e0:5a:9f {
	option tftp-server-name "ftp://login:password@192.168.30.254";
	option bootfile-name "serial";
}

NOTE: Option bootfile-name can be set in two ways:

option bootfile-name "serial";      # ONT will search xml file for its GPONSN, ex. HALN206fff68
option bootfile-name "2N_2TV.xml";  # ONT will search exact file 2N_2TV.xml

NOTE: It will work with firmware version V2.0.9 and later

Mikrotik DHCP server configuration

DHCP server -> Add Option 66 and Option 67:

1. Add new option

2. Add option 66 and 67
