Uptime refers to the total time a device (OLT or Switch) has been running since its last reboot. For ISPs, uptime indicates stability and reliability of the network equipment.

🔹 Why Check Uptime on BDCOM Devices?

• To confirm if the device restarted unexpectedly.
• To check stability after configuration changes.
• To monitor long-term performance of OLT and Switch.
• To ensure hardware is not facing frequent reboot issues.
