Managing DSL transceivers (FN-TRAN-DSL)

A Procend 180-T DSL transceiver (FN-TRAN-DSL) that is plugged in to a FortiGate-managed FortiSwitch port can now be managed by a FortiGate unit. The management of the DSL transceiver and the FortiSwitch port includes the ability to program the physical-layer attributes on the DSL module, retrieve the status and statistics from the module, upgrade the module's firmware, and reset the module.

You can use the following FortiGate models to manage FN-TRAN-DSL: FG-80F, FG-81F, FG-80F-BP, FGR-60F, FGR-60F-3G4G, FG-60F, and FG-40F-3G4G. The FortiSwitch unit must be running FortiSwitchOS 7.0.1, build 0038 or later. A FortiSwitch unit running in standalone mode cannot program the physical-layer attributes on the DSL module.

To create a DSL policy:

config switch-controller dsl policy

edit <DSL_policy_name>

set type Procend

set us-bitswap {enable | disable}

set ds-bitswap {enable | disable}

set profile {auto-30a | auto-17a | auto-12ab}

set cs {A43, B43, A43C, V43}

set pause-frame {enable | disable}

set cpe_aele {enable | disable}

set cpe_aele-mode {ELE_M0 | ELE_DS | ELE_PB | ELE_MIN}

set append_padding {enable | disable}

next

end

Option	Description	Default value
<DSL_policy_name>	Enter a name for the DSL policy.	No default
type Procend	You can only select the Procend type.	Procend
us-bitswap {enable | disable}	Enable or disable whether the upstream bits are exchanged.	enable
ds-bitswap {enable | disable}	Enable or disable whether the downstream bits are exchanged.	enable
profile {auto-30a | auto-17a | auto-12ab}	Select which very-high-bit-rate digital subscriber line (VDSL) customer premises equipment (CPE) profile to use.	auto-30a
cs {A43, B43, A43C, V43}	Select which CPE carrier set to use.	A43 B43 A43C
pause-frame {enable | disable}	Enable or disable device pause frames.	enable
cpe_aele {enable | disable}	Enable or disable CPE alternative electrical length estimation (AELE) mode.	enable
cpe_aele-mode {ELE_M0 | ELE_DS | ELE_PB | ELE_MIN}	Select the CPE AELE mode to use.	ELE_MIN
append_padding {enable | disable}	Enable or disable whether to append padding.	enable

To specify the DSL policy to use:

config switch-controller managed-switch

edit <FortiSwitch_serial_number>

config ports

edit <port>

set dsl-profile <DSL_policy_name>

next

end

next

end

To display DSL statistics:

get switch-controller dsl link-time <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>

get switch-controller dsl pkt-count <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>

get switch-controller dsl pm-line-curr <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>

get switch-controller dsl policy

get switch-controller dsl rate <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>

get switch-controller dsl status <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>

get switch-controller dsl summary <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>

get switch-controller dsl version <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>

Option	Description
link-time <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>	Display the link time for the DSL module plugged in to the specified FortiSwitch port.
pkt-count <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>	Display the packet count for the DSL module plugged in to the specified FortiSwitch port.
pm-line-curr <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>	Display the line current for the DSL module plugged in to the specified FortiSwitch port.
policy	List the available DSL policies and their settings.
rate <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>	Display the rate for the DSL module plugged in to the specified FortiSwitch port.
status <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>	Display the status of the DSL module plugged in to the specified FortiSwitch port.
summary <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>	Display a summary for the DSL module plugged in to the specified FortiSwitch port.
version <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>	Display the version of the DSL module plugged in to the specified FortiSwitch port.

To reset the DSL module on a FortiSwitch port:

execute switch-controller dsl reset <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>

To upload a FortiSwitch image to the FortiGate local storage:

execute switch-controller dsl update ftp <DSL_image_name_on_FTP_server> <FTP_server>[:<FTP_port>] <FTP_user_name> <FTP_password> <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>

execute switch-controller dsl update tftp <DSL_image_name_on_TFTP_server> <TFTP_server> <FortiSwitch_serial_number> <port_name>
