Through the bridge, two different physical LANs can be connected, which is a kind of storage and forwarding device to realize LAN interconnection at the link layer. General switch, the bridge has a bridging effect. As the ONT must derive its power from the customer premises' electrical supply, many ONTs have the option for a battery backup, to maintain service in the event of a power outage.īridge mode refers to the process of forwarding network packets based on the address of the link layer of the OSI network model, working on the second layer of OSI. An ONT (optical network terminal) is used to terminate the fiber optic line, demultiplex the signal into its component parts (voice telephone, television, and Internet), and provide power to customer telephones. Unlike many conventional telephone technologies, this does not provide power for premises equipment, nor is it suitable for direct connection to customer equipment. Please see more below.Īn optical network terminal is mounted to the outside of a building, with the cover open In fiber-to-the-premises systems, the signal is transmitted to the customer premises using fiber optic technologies.

This post is about a Huawei ONT bridge mode introduction.
