Access to Finisar FTEN2217P1CUN-AB

Ran across a few used and want to setup for a private EPON network.

I do not see anything though IP-SCAN. MT and the OLT sees the link as active and MT can read the NVRAM.

I must not be doing the scan correctly or something not set.

I have never tried that. You should be able to look at the netmask assigned to your router and figure out your remaining IPs

You may also need to add route entries to the ports those devices are attached to.

We like port knocking. You must access a port other than your desired port to load the list then test to see if you are in the list before accepting.
If someone is scanning ports around the knocked port, you clear the list.
