Calix Cloud - Adding AXOS E7-2 to Calix Operations Cloud

Operations Cloud improves and accelerates your organization's goal of delivering an outstanding subscriber experience with simplified operations and intelligent insights.

With an integrated view from the access PON edge to the Wi-Fi antenna, Operations Cloud continuously gathers unified data from your network infrastructure.

This KB is primarily for adding AXOS systems to Calix Operations Cloud; EXA has a different process.

Step 0: Pre-check

Make sure the AXOS system has a working DNS
1. You can run the command: show run ip name-server in the CLI
Make sure the NTP server is active
1. Run the command: show ntp in the CLI
Create Region and Location
1. In Operations Cloud -> System Onboarding -> Region Settings
2. Add new region with the ‘Add Region’ button if needed. Must have at least 1 region and 1 location.
  1. If region already exists, you can add a location on the right side of page

Obtain the E7-2 System MAC address
1. Run the command: show entityPhysical | include entPhysicalSystemMac

In Ops Cloud -> System Onboarding -> AXOS System -> Call Home
1. Click ‘Add Call Home’ button
  1. ‘Device Name Format’ = [Device Name]
  2. ‘MAC/IP Address with Subnet’ = [System MAC from last step]
  3. ‘Region’ = [Device Region]
  4. ‘Location’ = {Device Location]
  5. ‘Distributed OLT Name’ = [Device Name]
  6. ‘User Name’ & ‘Password’ = [Bitwarden Calix Ops Password]
  7. ‘Connect Timout’ = [Default 5]

Configure Call Home in AXOS CLI
1. Run the following commands in config mode:
  1. call-home netconf-client [OLT NAME]
  2. ssh endpoints endpoint COC address opscloud-us.calix.com port 7777
  3. connection-type periodic reconnect-timeout 1
