Ok, if you have been following the series, you should already know that I equally love and hate UFiber OLTs. They are affordable, deliver a lot of bang for the buck, and have an awful GUI.
Please, be aware that this can change for better or worse in the future, and at the time I’m writing this the latest firmware is v3.1.3. I trust in you UBNT, hope you can sort out this and give us a better product. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
Python in the middle
I wrote a quick and dirty client which acts as a sort of middleware between the HTTP inteface of the OLT and you.
It allows to provision non existing ONUs, GPON profiles, WiFi profiles, retrieve active ONU status and general configuration.
Take a look to it on https://github.com/baldoarturo/ufiber-client, and feel free to contribute if you want to.
Edited on Aug 15 2020: I did the same for firmware version 4, which is cleaner and fixes a lot of bugs. Stay tuned!
ufiber-client
This is a quick dirty project built to provide a quick dirty client for Ubiquiti UFiber OLTs, using firmware version 3.x
There is also a CLI attempt, but I couldn’t find any ready to use packages to build a decent CLI.
More info about what am I doing this is on the following entries:
- https://arturobaldo.com.ar/ufiber-olt-api/
- https://arturobaldo.com.ar/digging-into-ubiquitis-ufiber-olt/
olt.py
This is the core of the project. It uses the OLTCLient class to provide a middleware between you and the HTTP interface of the olt.
Initialize a new OLTClient instance with:
client = olt.OLTClient(host, username, password)
The initialization will handle the login for you, altough you can call the login() method manually.
If the OLT is network reacheable, and you have provided the right credentials, and the OLT WEB GUI is alive and well, you should be ready to start.
You can also connect using cli.py:
$ /cli.py
