BBSim also looks for a configuration file in configs/bbsim.yaml from
which it reads a number of default settings. The command line options listed
above override the corresponding configuration file settings. A sample
configuration file is given below:

Configuring RG Services¶
BBSim supports different services in the RG.
Those services are described through a configuration file that is specified via the -services flag.
Below are examples of the tree commonly used configurations:
# Contains a description of the services that needs to be created for each UNI and the corresponding tagging scheme
# ATT
workflow: att
services:
- name: hsia
c_tag: 900
c_tag_allocation: unique

Controlled PON and ONU activation¶
BBSim provides support for controlled PON and ONU activation. This gives you the ability to manually enable PON Ports and ONUs as needed.
By default both PON ports and ONUs are automatically activated when OLT is enabled. This can
be controlled using -ca option.
-ca can be set to one of below four modes:
default: PON ports and ONUs are automatic activated (default behavior).
- only-onu: PON ports automatically enabled and ONUs activated on demand
On Enable OLT, IntfIndications for all PON ports are sent but ONU discovery indications are not sent. When PoweronONU request is received at BBSim API server then ONU discovery indication is sent for that ONU.
- only-pon: PON ports enabled on demand and ONUs automatically activated
On Enable OLT, neither IntfIndications for PON ports nor ONU discovery indications are sent. When EnablePonIf request is received at OpenOLT server, then that PON port is enabled and IntfIndication is sent for that PON and all ONUs under that ports are discovered automatically.
- both: Both PON ports and ONUs are activated on demand
On Enable OLT, neither IntfIndication for PON ports nor ONU discovery indications are sent. When EnablePonIf request is received on OpenOLT server then IntfIndication is sent for that PON but no ONU discovery indication will be sent. When PoweronONU request is received at BBSim API server then ONU discovery indication is sent for that ONU.
Pon Port and ONU on demand activation is managed via BBSimCtl.
You can find more information in the Operate BBSim page.
Publishing BBSim Events on kafka¶
BBSim provides option for publishing events on kafka. To publish events on kafka, set BBSimEvents flag and configure kafkaAddress.
Once BBSim is started, it will publish events (as and when they happen) on
topic BBSim-OLT-<id>-Events.
- Types of Events:
OLT-enable-received
OLT-disable-received
OLT-reboot-received
OLT-reenable-received
ONU-discovery-indication-sent
ONU-activate-indication-received
MIB-upload-received
MIB-upload-done
Flow-add-received
Flow-remove-received
ONU-authentication-done
ONU-DHCP-ACK-received
