Abstract

Provisioning of Internet Protocol (IP) configuration data or other configuration related data for devices or services connected to a passive optical network (PON) is contemplated. The provisioning may be facilitated with an optical line terminal (OLT) providing the desired configuration data over the PON to an optical network unit (ONU) connected to the device or service desired for provisioning, such as to enable the ONU to provision the device or service without exchanging Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) messaging with a DHCP server.
