Dual Managed Mode Using The Veip - Zhone zNID-GPON-2402 Configuration Manual

Dual Managed mode using the VEIP

In Dual Managed mode a "virtual UNI" is the glue between the RG interfaces
and OMCI. The virtual UNI is a Virtual Ethernet Interface Point (VEIP) as
described in G.984.4 Amendment 2 and G.Impl.984.4).
The VEIP allows the features such as Voice and WiFi which cannot be
implemented directly by OMCI, to be configured via RG interfaces. The
uplink is then set to "O" to designate an OMCI interface. This mechanism ties
the uplink to the virtual UNI.

by VLAN Identifier
When the eth0 interface of an RG VLAN is configured as an OMCI member,
it will be automatically mapped to the VEIP. Conversely, when eth0 is
configured as a tagged or untagged member of the VLAN, it is automatically
mapped to the default 5xx RG GEM.
Up to 24 RG VLANs are supported, and all 24 of them could be mapped to
the VEIP. Each RG VLAN must have a unique VLAN ID. However, VLAN
translation rules may be configured via OMCI to map multiple different RG
VLANs into the same Network-side VLAN (Not configured on the zNID, but
on the OLT).
VEIP Mapping is supported by the following VLAN types: Bridged-CPU,
BRouted, Routed, PPPoE-Bridged, PPPoE-Routed.
All IP attributes of an RG VLAN remain under RG configuration control.
OMCI is NOT used for provisioning of IP Addresses, DNS Addresses, Subnet
Masks, or other IP attributes
