4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM Line Card Configuration

This chapter describes the procedures for configuring the Cisco 10000 series 4-Port OC-3/STM-1c ATM line card, hereafter known as the 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM line card.
The 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM line card is a NEBS-compliant device that performs Layer 2 Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) functions. This line card receives and transmits ATM cells on each network physical interface connected to a line card port, and simultaneously transmits and receives packets from the Cisco 10000 series router backplane.

Line Card VC Limitations

The Cisco 10000 series router supports four ATM service categories for virtual circuits (VCs):
Constant Bit Rate (CBR)
Variable Bit Rate-non-real-time (VBR-nrt)
Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR) with a peak cell rate (PCR), referred to as shaped UBR
UBR without a PCR, referred to as unshaped UBR
The segmentation and reassembly (SAR) mechanism configures priority and additional traffic management parameters for the various ATM service categories. SAR sets for the service categories.
Table 1-3 lists the priority levels the

OL-8834-04
Chapter 1 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM Line Card Configuration
The number of SAR priority levels and the service categories supported at each priority level vary from line card to line card. For example, the 4-port OC-3 line card supports the two levels of priority and the service categories listed in
The ATM line cards support a maximum number of VCs per priority. That VC limit depends on the VC limit of the SAR (SAR limit) and the number of priority levels configured. determine the VC limit per priority level per port for the 4-port OC-3 line card.
Ta b l e 1-4 Maximum Number of VCs per Priority
ATM Line Card SAR Priority Levels VC Rate Maximum Number of VCs per Priority
4-Port OC-3 0 = CBR, VBR-nrt VCs
1 = UBR VCs
Configuring more channels or VCs than there are available priority locations can cause random channels or VCs to get stuck in the SAR. This occurs when an active channel tries to reschedule itself, but no priority locations are available. Therefore, the channel cannot find a place to reschedule itself, which results in a lost event for the channel, and the channel becomes stuck in the SAR.
On the PRE2, when a VC becomes stuck in the SAR, the PRE2 scheduler stops forwarding traffic on only the VC that is stuck in the SAR; the other VCs still carry traffic. On the PRE3, the PRE3 scheduler stops forwarding traffic on all the VCs configured on that ATM line card.

Interface Configuration Examples

Interface Configuration Examples
This section provides sample procedures for creating ATM subinterfaces, permanent virtual circuits (PVCs), and virtual circuit (VC) classes, and procedures for enabling Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI).

Creating a Subinterface

Use the following procedure to create a subinterface.
Step 1 Separate the ATM interface into subinterfaces using the interface command. You can create either a
point-to-point or multipoint subinterface.
In the following example, multipoint subinterface number 1 is created on port 0 of the 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM line card in slot 2.
Router(config)# interface atm 2/0/0.1 multipoint Router(config-subif)#
Chapter 1 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM Line Card Configuration
Step 2 Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the created interface using the ip address configuration

Creating a PVC

Step 1 Enter interface or subinterface configuration mode.
subcommand, as shown in the following example:
Router(config-subif)# ip address 172.27.48.209 255.255.0.0 Router(config-subif)#
You have created ATM subinterface 2/0/0.1. To configure or modify this interface, use the following command:
Router(config)# interface atm 2/0/0.1 Router(config-subif)#
You can create multiple PVCs on a 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM line card interface. You can create PVCs on the main interface or on a subinterface.
To create a PVC
Use the pvc command to specify a virtual path identifier (VPI) value between 0 and 255 and a virtual channel identifier (VCI) value between 0 and 65535. The following example shows how to create a PVC with a VPI value of 0 and VCI value of 100 on a subinterface.
Router(config-subif)# pvc 0/100 Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
1-4
Step 2 Use the protocol ip configuration subcommand to assign a peer IP address to the PVC, as shown in the
following example:
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# protocol ip 172.16.32.49 Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
OL-8834-04
Chapter 1 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM Line Card Configuration

Creating a VC Class

This procedure demonstrates how to create an ATM VC class. An ATM VC class is a PVC boilerplate—a PVC description that you can apply to one or more PVCs.
To create a PVC boilerplate:
Step 1 Use the global configuration mode vc-class atm name command, where name is the name value you
assign. The following example shows how to create the ATM VC class named boston.
Router(config)# vc-class atm boston Router(config-vc-class)#
Step 2 Enter commands to describe the ATM VC class you named boston. This example shows how to specify
that the boston class uses AAL5+MUX encapsulation with a variable bit-rate non real-time (VBR-NRT) PVC.
Router(config-vc-class)# encaps aal5mux ip Router(config-vc-class)# vbr-nrt 30000 20000 128 Router(config-vc-class)# exit Router(config)#
Interface Configuration Examples
You have created a VC class named boston. The next procedure describes how to apply this class to a PVC or subinterface.

Applying a VC Class

You can apply a VC class (created in the previous procedure) to a PVC or an interface.
In the following example, the class named boston is applied to subinterface 5/0/0.1.
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.1 Router(config-subif)# class-int boston Router(config-subif)#
In the following example, the class named boston is applied to a new PVC (0/102) in subinterface
5/0/0.2.
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.2 Router(config-subif)# pvc 0/102 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# class-vc boston Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
You have completed the steps for assigning a VC class to a PVC.

Enabling ILMI PVC Discovery

OL-8834-04
You can enable ILMI to automatically discover PVCs on neighboring switches and duplicate those PVC entries on the 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM line card.
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
1-5

ATM Commands

To enable ILMI:
Step 1 Create PVC 0/16 on the main interface as shown in the following example:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/16 ilmi Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit Router(config-if)#
Step 2 In the following example, ILMI PVC discovery is enabled for the selected port on the 4-Port
OC-3/STM-1 ATM line card (step 1 references port 0).
Router(config-if)# atm ilmi-pvc-discovery
You have completed the steps required for running ILMI PVC discovery. You can use the show atm pvc command to display the PVCs on the Cisco 10000 series router.

Completing a Configuration

This section offers general information on creating and completing a configuration of an 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM line card.
Chapter 1 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM Line Card Configuration
To configure and interface:
Step 1 Enter interface configuration mode and then specify necessary parameters, such as the IP address and
subnet mask.
Step 2 After you enter all of the configuration subcommands to complete the configuration, enter Ctrl-Z (hold
down the Control key while you press Z) to exit configuration mode.
Step 3 Write the new configuration to memory:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
The system displays an OK message when the configuration is stored. After you have completed your configuration, you can check it by using show
ATM Commands
Each 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM line card permits you to specify up to four OC-3 interfaces. You can put all the PVCs on the main interfaces, or you can create associated subinterfaces. This section describes the principal commands for customizing interfaces and PVCs:

Global Configuration Command

A PVC boilerplate is a PVC description that you can apply to one or more PVCs or interfaces.
To create a PVC boilerplate, use the global configuration mode vc-class atm command:
vc-class atm class_name
Where class_name is any value that describes the VC class.
After you enter the vc-class atm command, you are placed in VC class configuration mode. In this mode, you describe the action you want the class to take by entering commands and their arguments. These commands and arguments are described in the
In the following example, an ATM VC class named cambridge is created and defined. This example shows how to specify that the class uses AAL5+MUX
Router(config)# vc-class atm cambridge Router(config-vc-class)# encaps aal5mux ip Router(config-vc-class)# vbr-nrt 30000 20000 128 Router(config-vc-class)# exit Router(config)#

ATM Commands
Creating and Entering Subinterfaces
Use the interface command to segment an OC-3 ATM main interface into multiple subinterfaces to simplify line card management, to create interfaces with different MTU sizes, and to create connections to different networks.
interface atm slot/subslot/port.subinterface type no interface atm slot/subslot/port.subinterface type
Where:
slot is 1 to 5 for a Cisco 10005 router
slot is 1 to 8 for a Cisco 10008 router
subslot is always 0 for a full-height line card
port is 0 to 3
subinterface is a value from 1 to 4294967295
type is always point-to-point or multipoint
To enter the subinterface at a later time, you do not need to specify the type.
To remove a subinterface and its PVCs, use the no interface command. To change a subinterface type, you must first remove the subinterface.
Chapter 1 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM Line Card Configuration
Examples:
Create subinterface number 1 at port 3 for 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM line card in slot 1.
Router(config)# interface atm 1/0/3.1 point-to-point Router(config-subif)#
Enter an existing subinterface.
Router(config)# interface atm 1/0/3.1 Router(config-subif)#
Use a multipoint subinterface.
If you want multiple PVCs to go to the same network, you must create a multipoint subinterface. For example:
Router(config)# interface atm 4/0/2.2 multipoint Router(config-subif)#
After you create the subinterface, you can create PVCs that are attached to the same network.
Figure 1-1 shows a multipoint subinterface on a fully meshed network. Fully meshed indicates that
any workstation can communicate with any other workstation.

packets. When you create a PVP, the system creates (by default) PVCs with VCI values of 3 and 4 for each PVP, which pass OAM packets.
Creating a PVC
Note You can only create one PVC on a point-to-point interface. Multiple PVCs can be created
To verify the configuration of a PVP, use the show atm vp exec command.
The following example shows how to create a PVP with a peak rate of 50,000 Kbps. The subsequent created VCs are multiplexed onto this virtual path.
Router(config)# interface atm 7/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm pvp 25 50000 Router(config-if)# pvc 25/100 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt 10000 5000 16 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit Router(config-if)# pvc 25/101 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt 10000 5000 16 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit Router(config-if)# pvc 25/102 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt 10000 5000 16 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit Router(config)#

By default, the pvc command creates a UBR PVC. To specify a VBR-NRT PVC, see the “Configuring
VBR-NRT” section on page 1-17.
Examples:
Create PVC 0/105 on the main interface.
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)
ATM Commands
“Activating ATM ILMI PVC Discovery”
Create PVC 2/102 on a subinterface.
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.1 Router(config-subif)# pvc 2/102 Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
Enabling ATM ILMI
Use the atm ilmi-enable interface configuration command to enable ILMI on a port.
atm ilmi-enable no atm ilmi-enable
The default is ILMI is enabled, but you should disable the ILMI if the peer does not support ILMI. For peers to be able to exchange ILMI information, you must create PVC 0/16 using the ilmi argument.
The following example shows how to disable ILMI:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# no atm ilmi-enable
Activating ATM ILMI PVC Discovery
This command causes ILMI-compliant devices to propagate PVCs. Use the atm ilmi-pvc-discovery interface configuration command to activate ATM PVC discovery.
atm ilmi-pvc-discovery [subinterface] no atm ilmi-pvc-discovery [subinterface]
OL-8834-04
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
1-11
ATM Commands
Where:
subinterface instructs the software to associate all PVCs with existing subinterface numbers equal
to their VPI numbers. For example: PVC 2/102 would be listed under subinterface 7/0/0.2, PVC 12/156 would be listed under 7/0/0.12, and so on.
Note The subinterface argument associates PVCs only with subinterfaces that have already been
created. If there is no subinterface for a VPI value, the system associates the PVC interface.
The following example shows how to enable PVC discovery on the ATM main interface 7/0/0, for port 0, on a 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM line card that has ILMI enabled.
Router(config)# interface atm 7/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/16 ilmi Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit Router(config-if)# atm ilmi-pvc-discovery
Specifying the ATM ILMI Keepalive Rate
Chapter 1 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM Line Card Configuration
with the main
Use the atm ilmi-keepalive command to specify the ILMI keepalive rate.
atm ilmi-keepalive [seconds [retry counts]]
Where:
seconds is a value from 1 to 65535
retry counts is a value from 2 to 5
The default value for seconds is 5000 and for retry counts is 4.
The following example shows how to enable ILMI keepalives for the ATM interface 5/0/0:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm ilmi-keepalive 10000 retry 3
Configuring the ATM Clock
Use the atm clock internal command to configure the clock source as internal.
atm clock internal no atm clock internal
The default clock setting is no atm clock internal, which means that clocking is derived from the line.
In the following example, clocking is set from the router.
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm clock internal
Specifying the ATM Flag
This command is typically used to meet a standards requirement or to ensure interoperability with another vendor's equipment. Use the atm flag s1s0 command to specify the ATM flag value for the s1and s0 bits.
atm flag s1s0 value
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
1-12
OL-8834-04
Chapter 1 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM Line Card Configuration
Where:
s1s0 is part of the payload pointer byte
value is from 0 to 3
The default s1s0 value is 0.
The following example shows how to assign a value of 2 to the ATM flag:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm flag s1s0 2
Controlling ATM Alarm Reporting
To control selected SONET alarms so that they are logged to the console for an ATM interface, use the atm report interface configuration command.
atm report {b1-tca | b2-tca | b3-tca | lais | lcd | lrdi | pais | plop | prdi | rdool | sd-ber | sf-ber | slof | slos}
no atm report {b1-tca | b2-tca | b3-tca | lais | lcd | lrdi | pais | plop | prdi | rdool | sd-ber | sf-ber | slof | slos}
ATM Commands
Where:
b1-tca—B1 bit error rate (BER) threshold crossing alarm
b2-tca—B2 BER threshold crossing alarm
b3-tca—B3 BER threshold crossing alarm
lais—Line Alarm Indication Signal
lcd—Loss of cell delineation
lrdi—Line Remote Defect Indication
pais—Path Alarm Indication Signal
plop—Path Loss of Pointer
prdi—Path Remote Defect Indication
rdool—Receive Data Out Of Lock
sd-ber—Line bit interleave parity error (LBIP) BER in excess of signal degrade (SD) threshold
sf-ber—LBIP BER in excess of signal fail (SF) threshold
slof—Section Loss of Frame
slos—Section Loss of Signal
To disable logging of select SONET alarms, use the no form of this command.
Reporting an alarm means that the alarm can be logged to the console. Not all alarms are logged. SONET alarm hierarchy rules dictate that only the most severe alarm of an alarm group is reported. Whether an alarm is reported or not, you can view the current state of a defect by checking the Active Defects line from the show controllers atm command output.
OL-8834-04
The following example shows how to enable reporting of SD-BER and LAIS alarms on the interface:
Router(config)# interface atm 3/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm report sd-ber Router(config-if)# atm report lais Router(config-if)# end Router#
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide

ATM Commands
Specifying the ATM Alarm Thresholds
Specify the bit error rate (BER) threshold by using the atm threshold command:
atm threshold {b1-tca | b2-tca | b3-tca | sd-ber | sf-ber} value
Where:
b1-tca—B1 BER threshold crossing alarm
b2-tca—B2 BER threshold crossing alarm
b3-tca—B3 BER threshold crossing alarm
sd-ber—Set Signal Degrade BER threshold
sf-ber—Set Signal Fail BER threshold
value is an exponential value from 10
The default for all thresholds, except sf-ber, is 10-6. The default for sf-ber is 10-3.
The following example shows how to specify the B1 BER threshold crossing alarm value of 4:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm threshold b1-tca 4
–3
to 10
Chapter 1 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM Line Card Configuration

representing the BER at which an alarm occurs.
Controlling the S1 SONET Overhead Byte
On Cisco 10000 series routers, ATM line cards run over SONET. In most situations, the default value for the S1 SONET overhead byte (0x0) does not need to be changed. Refer to the SONET standards for information about the possible values for the S1 SONET overhead byte and the definition of each value.
Controlling a Transmitted S1 Overhead Byte
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB, use the pos flag s1-byte tx command in interface configuration mode to control the transmission of the S1 SONET overhead byte.
pos flag s1-byte tx value
Where:
value is in the range of 0x0 to 0xF
0x0 is the default value
In the following example the S1 SONET overhead byte is set to 0xF:
pos flag s1-byte tx 0xF
Reacting to a Received S1 Overhead Byte
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB, use the pos flag s1-byte rx-communicate command to direct the router to switch the clock source to internal when it receives an S1 SONET overhead byte with a value of 0xF. When the S1 SONET overhead byte changes from 0xF to any other value, the clock source reverts back to the clock source specified in the user configuration.
The S1 overhead byte is ignored by the receiving router unless the pos flag s1-byte rx-communicate command is issued.

pos flag s1-byte rx-communicate
no pos flag s1-byte rx-communicate
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
OL-8834-04
Chapter 1 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM Line Card Configuration
The following example directs the router to switch to internal clocking when it receives an S1 SONET overhead byte with a value of 0xF:
pos flag s1-byte rx-communicate
The default for the pos flag s1-byte rx-communicate command is disabled or off.
Running Loopbacks
Use the loopback command to run a loopback diagnostic tests.
loopback {line | diagnostic {parallel | path | serial}} no loopback {line | diagnostic {parallel | path | serial}}
Where:
line is the line loopback
diagnostic starts an internal diagnostic loopback
parallel is the internal diagnostic parallel loopback
path is the internal diagnostic path loopback
serial is the internal diagnostic serial loopback
The following example shows hot to run the diagnostic serial loopback:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# loopback diagnostic serial
ATM Commands

ATM PVC Commands

After you create a PVC using the pvc command, you can customize the PVC or a VC class by using the commands described in this section.

Enabling OAM Loopback Cell Generation and Management, page 1-19
Specifying a Protocol
Use the protocol ip command in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode to do one or both of the following:
Configure a static map for an ATM PVC or VC class.
OL-8834-04
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
1-15
ATM Commands
Note Use the inarp command to configure Inverse ARP frequency.
Chapter 1 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM Line Card Configuration
Enable Inverse ARP or Inverse ARP broadcasts on an ATM PVC by either configuring Inverse ARP
directly on the PVC or in a VC class (applies to IP
protocol ip {protocol-address | inarp} [[no] broadcast] no protocol ip {protocol-address | inarp} [[no] broadcast]
Where:
protocol-address is the peer destination address that is being mapped to a PVC.
inarp (valid only for IP protocols on PVCs) enables Inverse ARP on an ATM PVC. If you specify
a protocol-address instead of inarp, Inverse ARP is automatically disabled for that protocol.
[no] broadcast (optional) indicates that this PVC sends out broadcast packets (for example, IGRP
updates). Pseudo broadcasting is supported. The broadcast keyword of the protocol ip command takes precedence if you previously configured the broadcast command on the ATM PVC.
For PVCs created under point-to-point subinterfaces, broadcast is enabled by default. For PVCs created under multipoint subinterfaces, use the broadcast argument to propagate IP routes.
Use the no form of this command to remove a static map or disable Inverse ARP.
protocols only).
The following example shows how to specify IP protocol on an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# protocol ip 172.16.32.49
Configuring a Broadcast
Use the broadcast command to configure broadcast packet duplication and transmission for an ATM PVC or VC class.
The broadcast command is not used to enable ATM cell-level multicast, broadcast, replication, or to set up the broadcast of user level traffic. The broadcast command indicates which PVC (or PVCs) sends out broadcast traffic. This is typically limited to traffic associated with routing protocols and routing updates (for example, OSPF hello packets).
Note The broadcast argument within the protocol ip command takes precedence over the
broadcast command. See the
information.
Use the default form of this command to restore the default behavior described below.
broadcast no broadcast
The default is broadcast.
“Specifying a Protocol” section on page 1-15 for more
1-16
Use the no form of this command to disable transmission of broadcast packets.
For PVCs created under point-to-point subinterfaces, broadcast is enabled by default. For PVCs created under multipoint subinterfaces, you should use the broadcast command if you want to propagate IP routes (only the first PVC on a multipoint interface receives broadcast traffic).
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
OL-8834-04
Chapter 1 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM Line Card Configuration
The following example shows how to use the broadcast command to restore the default behavior:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.4 Router(config-subif)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# broadcast Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
Configuring Inverse ARP
Use the inarp command in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode to configure the Inverse ARP time period for an ATM PVC or VC class.
inarp minutes no inarp minutes
Where minutes is the inverse ARP frequency from 1 to 60 minutes.
The default frequency is 15 minutes.
Use the no form of this command to restore the default inverse ARP time period behavior.
ATM Commands
Note This command is supported only for AAL5+SNAP encapsulation (the default) when
Inverse ARP is enabled. Use the encapsulation command to configure AAL5+SNAP encapsulation and the protocol command to enable Inverse ARP.
The following example shows how to specify an inverse ARP frequency of 40 minutes on an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# inarp 40
Attaching an ATM VC Class to a PVC
Use the class-vc command to attach an ATM VC class to a PVC.
class-vc name
Where:
name is the name of the class created with the global configuration class-vc atm command.
The following example shows how to assign an ATM VC class named boston to an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.4 Router(config-subif)# pvc 2/100 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# class-vc boston
Configuring VBR-NRT
OL-8834-04
Use the vbr-nrt command to configure the variable bit rate non real-time (VBR-NRT) traffic management type and specify output peak cell rate, output sustainable cell rate, and output maximum burst cell size for an ATM PVC or VC
class.
You can use the vbr-nrtv command in PVC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode.
vbr-nrt peak_cell_rate sustainable_cell_rate maximum_burst_size no vbr-nrt peak_cell_rate sustainable_cell_rate maximum_burst_size
Where:
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
1-17
ATM Commands
peak is the peak cell rate (PCR) from 38 Kbps to 149,760 Kbps. The PCR must be at least equal to
the sustainable cell rate
sustainable is the sustainable cell rate (SCR) from 38 Kbps to the PCR
maximum is a number from 1 to 65,535, which represents maximum burst size (MBS) in cells
The default class of service is unspecified bit rate (UBR) running at the maximum line rate of the physical interface.
Use the no form of this command to remove the VBR-NRT parameters and return the PVC to its default of unspecified bit rate (UBR).
The following example shows how to configure the VBR-NRT traffic parameters on an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt 50000 20000 200
Specifying Encapsulation
Use the encapsulation command in PVC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode to specify the ATM adaptation layer (AAL) and encapsulation type for an ATM
encapsulation {aal5mux ip | aal5snap} no encapsulation {aal5mux ip | aal5snap}
Chapter 1 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM Line Card Configuration
(SCR)
PVC or VC class.
Where:
aal5mux ip is AAL5+MUX encapsulation
aal5snap is AAL5+LLC/SNAP encapsulation (the default)
Use the no form of this command to return an encapsulation to the default SNAP.
The following example shows how to specify aal5mux ip encapsulation for an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.4 Router(config-subif)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# encaps aal5mux ip
Enabling ILMI Management
Use the ilmi manage command in PVC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode to enable ILMI management on an ATM PVC. This command changes the convergence of higher-level protocols based on link-state changes.
ilmi manage no ilmi manage
Use the no form of this command to disable ILMI management.
The following example shows how to enable ILMI management on an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# ilmi manage

Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
OL-8834-04
Chapter 1 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM Line Card Configuration
Configuring OAM Retry
Use the oam retry command in PVC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode to configure OAM retry.
oam retry up_value [down_value frequency] no oam retry up_value [down_value frequency]
Where:
up_value is a number from 1 to 600 that represents the OAM retry count before declaring that a VC
is up.
The default is 3 retries.
down_value is a number from 1 to 600 that represents the OAM retry count before declaring a VC
is down.
The default is 5 retries.
frequency is a number from 1 to 1000 that represents the OAM retry polling frequency, in seconds.
The default is 1 second.
Use the no form of this command to return OAM retry to its default values.
The following example shows how to configure OAM retry for an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam retry 10 10 5
ATM Commands
Enabling OAM Loopback Cell Generation and Management
To enable end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell generation and OAM management for an ATM PVC or VC class, use the oam-pvc command in PVC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode.
oam-pvc [manage] [frequency] no oam-pvc [manage] [frequency]
Where:
manage is an optional keyword that brings down the interface or subinterface if the PVC loopback
fails.
frequency (optional) is the number of seconds between transmitting OAM loopback cells. Values
range from 0 to 600 seconds.
The default value is 10 seconds.
Use the no form of this command to disable generation of OAM loopback cells and OAM management.
The following example shows how to enable OAM loopback cell generation for an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam-pvc 300

Line Card VC Limitations

The Cisco 10000 series router supports four ATM service categories for virtual circuits (VCs):
Constant Bit Rate (CBR)
Variable Bit Rate-non-real-time (VBR-nrt)
Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR) with a peak cell rate (PCR), referred to as shaped UBR
UBR without a PCR, referred to as unshaped UBR
The segmentation and reassembly (SAR) mechanism configures priority and additional traffic management parameters for the various ATM service categories. SAR sets for the service categories.
Ta b l e 2-3 ATM Service Categories
Parameter CBR VBR-rt VBR-nrt Shaped UBR Unshaped UBR
Priority 0 1 2 3 None
The number of SAR priority levels and the service categories supported at each priority level vary from line card to line card. For example, the 8-port E3/DS3 supports the two levels of priority and the service categories listed in the
The ATM line cards support a maximum number of VCs per priority. That VC limit depends on the VC limit of the SAR (SAR limit) and the number of priority levels configured. determine the VC limit per priority level per port for the 8-port E3/DS3 line card.

8-Port E3/DS3 0 = CBR VCs
0 = VBR-nrt VCs 1 = UBR VCs
Configuring more channels or VCs than there are available priority locations can cause random channels or VCs to get stuck in the SAR. This occurs when an active channel tries to reschedule itself, but no priority locations are available. Therefore, the channel cannot find a place to reschedule itself, which results in a lost event for the channel, and the channel becomes stuck in the SAR.
On the PRE2, when a VC becomes stuck in the SAR, the PRE2 scheduler stops forwarding traffic on only the VC that is stuck in the SAR; the other VCs still carry traffic. On the PRE3, the PRE3 scheduler stops forwarding traffic on all the VCs configured on that ATM line card.

Use the following procedure to create a subinterface on an 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card interface.
Step 1 Separate the ATM interface into subinterfaces using the interface command. You can create either a
point-to-point or multipoint subinterface.
In the following example, multipoint subinterface number 1 is created on port 0 of the 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card in slot 2.
Router(config)# interface atm 2/0/0.1 multipoint Router(config-subif)#
Step 2 Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the subinterface using the ip address command, as shown in

Creating a PVC

Step 1 Enter interface or subinterface configuration mode.
the following example:
Router(config-subif)# ip address 172.27.48.209 255.255.0.0
You created ATM subinterface 2/0/0.1. To configure or modify this interface, use the following command:
Router(config)# interface atm 2/0/0.1 Router(config-subif)#
You can create multiple PVCs on an 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card interface. You can create PVCs on an interface or subinterface.
To create a PVC, perform the following steps:
Use the pvc command to specify a virtual path identifier (VPI) value between 0 and 255 and a virtual channel identifier (VCI) value between 0 and 65535. The following example shows how to create a PVC with a VPI value of 0 and VCI value of 100 on a subinterface.
Router(config-subif)# pvc 0/100 Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
2-4
Step 2 Use the protocol ip command to assign a peer IP address to the PVC, as shown in the following example:
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# protocol ip 172.16.32.49 Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide

Chapter 2 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM Line Card Configuration

Creating an ATM VC Class

This procedure demonstrates how to create an ATM VC class. An ATM VC class is a PVC boilerplate—a PVC description that you can apply to one or more PVCs.
To create an ATM VC class, perform the following steps:
Step 1 From global configuration mode, enter the vc-class atm name command, where name is the name value
you assign. The following example shows how to create the ATM VC class named boston.
Router(config)# vc-class atm boston Router(config-vc-class)#
Step 2 Enter commands to describe the ATM VC class you named boston. This example shows how to specify
that the boston class uses AAL5+MUX encapsulation with a variable bit-rate non real-time (VBR-NRT) PVC.
Router(config-vc-class)# encapsulation aal5mux ip Router(config-vc-class)# vbr-nrt 30000 20000 128 Router(config-vc-class)# exit Router(config)#
Line Card Interface Configuration Examples
You have created a VC class named boston. The next procedure describes steps for applying this class to a PVC or subinterface.

Applying a VC Class

You can apply a VC class (created in the previous procedure) to a PVC or a subinterface.
In the following example, the class named boston is applied to a new PVC (0/102) in subinterface
5/0/0.2.
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.2 Router(config-subif)# pvc 0/102 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# class-vc boston Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
In the following example, the class named boston is applied to subinterface 5/0/0.1.
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.1 Router(config-subif)# class-int boston Router(config-subif)#
You have completed the steps for assigning a VC class to a PVC.

Enabling ILMI PVC Discovery

OL-8834-04
You can enable ILMI to automatically discover PVCs on neighboring switches and duplicate those PVC entries on the 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card.
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide

Line Card Commands

To enable ILMI, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Create PVC 0/16 on the main interface as shown in the following example:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/16 ilmi Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit Router(config-if)#
Step 2 Enable ILMI PVC discovery for the selected port (step 1 references port 0).
Router(config-if)# atm ilmi-pvc-discovery
You have completed the steps required to run ILMI PVC discovery. You can use the show atm pvc command to display the PVCs on the Cisco 10000 series router.

Completing a Configuration

This section offers general information on creating and completing a configuration of an 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card.
To configure an interface, perform the following steps:
Chapter 2 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM Line Card Configuration
Step 1 Enter interface configuration mode and specify necessary parameters, such as the IP address and subnet
mask.
Step 2 After you enter all of the commands to complete the configuration, press Ctrl-Z (hold down the Control
key while you press Z) to exit configuration mode.
Step 3 Write the new configuration to memory:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
The system displays an OK message when the configuration is stored.
To check your completed configuration, use the show commands. For more information about show commands, see
Useful show Commands, page 2-21.
Line Card Commands
The 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card allows you to specify eight E3 or eight T3 interfaces. You can put all the PVCs on the interfaces, or you can create associated subinterfaces. This section describes the principal commands for customizing interfaces and PVCs:

Global Configuration Commands

A PVC boilerplate is a PVC description that you can apply to one or more PVCs or interfaces.
To create a PVC boilerplate, use the vc-class atm command in global configuration mode:
vc-class atm class_name
Where class_name is any value that describes the VC class.
After you enter the vc-class atm command, you enter VC class configuration mode. In this mode, you describe the action you want the class to take by entering commands and their arguments. These commands and arguments are described in the
In the following example, an ATM VC class named paris is created and defined. This example shows how to specify that the class uses AAL5+MUX
Router(config)# vc-class atm paris Router(config-vc-class)# encapsulation aal5mux ip Router(config-vc-class)# vbr-nrt 30000 20000 128 Router(config-vc-class)# exit Router(config)#

Line Card Commands
Setting the Line Card to E3 or T3 mode
You must configure the 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card for either E3 or T3 from interface configuration mode.
Note When you configure the 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card for E3 or T3, all 8 ports of the line card operate
in the mode you have selected.
atm dsx3mode {e3 | t3}{adm | plcp}
Where:
adm means ATM direct mapping
plcp means physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP)—specifications that map ATM cells into
physical media, such as T3 or E3, and define certain management information.
The default is t3 adm.
In the following example, the 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card located in slot 2 is configured for E3 mode with PLCP:
Router(config)# interface atm 2/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm dsx3mode e3 plcp
Chapter 2 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM Line Card Configuration
Changing the Mode of the Line Card
The 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card has four modes (e3 adm, e3 plcp, t3 adm and t3 plcp), the default mode being t3 adm. Each mode has it own bandwidth and cell delay variation tolerance (CDVT) values.
When a line card is freshly inserted, the default mode of the card can be changed. However, if VCs, VPs or subinterfaces have already been configured on the line card, the line card must first be removed and reprovisioned prior to the mode change.
To change the mode of an already provisioned card use the following commands in the configuration mode:
hw-module slot <> shut
no card <>
no hw-module slot <> shut
After the line card is restarted you can change the mode, and re-apply the configurations that were lost during module shutdown.
The following example shows how to change the mode of an already provisioned card, from E3 mode with ADM to E3 mode with PLCP.
Router(config)# hw-module slot 2/0 shut Router(config)# no card 2/0 Router(config)# no hw-module slot 2/0 shut
To change the mode of the line card:
Router(config)# interface atm 2/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm dsx3mode e3 plcp

The 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card supports ADM and PLCP framing on E3 and T3 connections. The following sections describe how to set T3 ADM, T3 PLCP, E3 ADM, and E3 PLCP framing.
Setting T3 ADM Framing
If you configured the 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card for T3 ADM using the atm dsx3mode ds3 adm command, configure the framing using the atm
[no] atm framing {cbitadm | m23adm}
Where:
cbitadm is C-bit ADM T3 Framing
m23adm is M23 ADM T3 Framing
The default is cbitadm.
In the following example, M23 ADM T3 framing is set:
Router(config)# interface atm 2/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm framing m23adm
Line Card Commands
framing command in interface configuration mode.
Setting T3 PLCP Framing
Setting E3 ADM Framing
If you configured the 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card for T3 PLCP using the atm dsx3mode ds3 plcp command, configure the framing using the atm
[no] atm framing {cbitplcp | m23plcp}
framing command from interface configuration mode.
Where:
cbitplcp is C-bit PLCP T3 Framing
m23plcp is M23 PLCP T3 Framing
The default cbitplcp
In the following example, C-bit PLCP T3 framing is set:
Router(config)# interface atm 2/0/0 Router(config-if) atm framing cbitplcp
If you configured the 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card for E3 ADM using the atm dsx3mode e3 adm command, configure the framing using the atm
[no] atm framing {g751adm | g832adm}
framing command in interface configuration mode.
Where:
g751adm is G.751 ADM E3 framing
g832adm is G.832 ADM E3 framing
The default is g751adm.
OL-8834-04
In the following example, G.751 ADM E3 framing is set:
Router(config)# interface atm 2/0/0
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide

Line Card Commands
Router(config-if)# atm framing g751adm
Setting E3 PLCP Framing
If you configured the 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card for E3 PLCP using the atm dsx3mode e3 plcp command, configure the framing using the atm
[no] atm framing g751plcp
Where g751plcp is G.751 PLCP E3 framing
The default is g751plcp.
In the following example, G.751 PLCP E3 framing is set:
Router(config)# interface atm 2/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm framing g751plcp
Creating and Entering Subinterfaces
Use the interface command to segment an E3 or T3 ATM main interface into multiple subinterfaces to simplify line card management, to create interfaces with different MTU sizes, and to create connections to different networks.
interface atm slot/subslot/port.subinterface type no interface atm slot/subslot/port.subinterface type

Where:
slot is 1 to 5 for a Cisco 10005 router.
slot is 1 to 8 for a Cisco 10008 router.
subslot is always 0 for a full-height line card.
port is 0 to 3.
subinterface is a value from 1 to 4294967295.
type is always point-to-point or multipoint.
To remove a subinterface and its PVCs, use the no interface command. To change a subinterface type, you must first remove the subinterface.
Examples:
Create subinterface number 1 at port 3 for 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card in slot 1.
Router(config)# interface atm 1/0/3.1 point-to-point Router(config-subif)#
Enter an existing subinterface.
Router(config)# interface atm 1/0/3.1 Router(config-subif)#
Use a multipoint subinterface.
If you want multiple PVCs to go to the same network, you must create a multipoint subinterface. For example:
Router(config)# interface atm 4/0/2.2 multipoint Router(config-subif)#

Line Card Commands
Attaching an ATM VC Class to an Interface or Subinterface
Use the class-int command to attach an ATM VC class to an interface or subinterface. If you customize a PVC, that customization takes precedence over the interface class.
class-int class_name
Where class_name is the name of the class created using the global configuration class-vc atm command.
In the following example, a VC class named paris is created and attached to subinterface 3/0/0.1.
Router(config)# vc-class atm paris Router(config-vc-class)# encapsulation aal5mux ip Router(config-vc-class)# vbr-nrt 30000 20000 128 Router(config-vc-class)# exit Router(config)# interface atm 3/0/0.1 Router(config-subif)# class-int paris
Creating ATM PVPs
To create a permanent virtual path (PVP) used to multiplex one or more VBR-NRT VCs, use the atm pvp interface configuration command.
atm pvp vpi peak-rate [no-f4-oam] no atm pvp vpi
Chapter 2 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM Line Card Configuration
Where:
vpi is the ATM network virtual path identifier (VPI) of the VC used to multiplex the permanent
virtual path. The range is 0 to 255. You must use a VPI value that is not already in use by a VC.
peak-rate is the maximum rate in kilobits per second (kbps) at which the PVP can transmit data. For
an E3 interface, you can enter values from 38 kbps to 34,368 kbps. For a T3 interface, you can enter values from 38 kbps to 44,200
kbps. The PVP peak rate value supersedes all rate values set for
VBR-NRT PVCs associated with the PVP.
Interface Type Allowable Kbps Range for peak-rate
E3 38 to 34,368
T3 38 to 44,200
no-f4-oam (optional) restricts the PVP from passing operations/administration/maintenance (OAM)
packets. When you create a PVP, the system creates (by default) PVCs with VCI values of 3 and 4 for each PVP which passes OAM packets.
To verify the configuration of a PVP, use the show atm vp exec command.

Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
OL-8834-04
Chapter 2 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM Line Card Configuration
The following example shows how to create a PVP with a peak rate of 30,000 kbps. Subsequently, the created VCs are multiplexed onto this virtual path.
Router(config)# interface atm 7/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm pvp 25 30000 Router(config-if)# pvc 25/100 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt 10000 5000 16 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit Router(config-if)# pvc 25/101 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt 10000 5000 16 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit Router(config-if)# pvc 25/102 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt 10000 5000 16 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit Router(config)#
Creating a PVC
This section describes how to create a permanent virtual circuit.
Note You can only create one PVC on a point-to-point interface. Multiple PVCs can be created on a multipoint
interface.
Line Card Commands
You can establish an unspecified bit rate (UBR) PVC by entering the pvc command:
pvc [word] [vpi_value/]{vci_value} [ilmi]
Where:
word is an optional name referring to this connection.
vpi_value is in the range from 0 to 255. If you do not specify a VPI value, the system assigns the
value 0.
vci_value is in the range 1 to 65535. The VCI value should be 33 or greater because all
lower-numbered PVCs are already assigned.
ilmi parameter maps the ILMI channel to the PVC for this interface. You can only use this argument
for PVCs created on the main interface. We recommend that you use this argument with PVC 0/16. For more information about activating ILMI, see the
“Activating ATM ILMI PVC Discovery”
section on page 2-14.
By default, the pvc command creates a UBR PVC. To specify a VBR-NRT PVC, see the “Configuring
VBR-NRT” section on page 2-19.
Examples:
Create PVC 0/105 on the interface.
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
Create PVC 2/102 on a subinterface.
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.1 Router(config-subif)# pvc 2/102 Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
OL-8834-04

Line Card Commands
Enabling ATM ILMI
Use the atm ilmi-enable interface configuration command to enable ILMI on a port.
atm ilmi-enable no atm ilmi-enable
The default is ILMI is enabled, but you should disable the ILMI if the peer does not support ILMI. For peers to be able to exchange ILMI information, you must create PVC 0/16 using the ilmi argument.
The following example shows how to disable ILMI:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# no atm ilmi-enable
Activating ATM ILMI PVC Discovery
This command causes ILMI-compliant devices to propagate PVCs. Use the atm ilmi-pvc-discovery command in interface configuration mode to activate ATM PVC discovery.
atm ilmi-pvc-discovery [subinterface] no atm ilmi-pvc-discovery [subinterface]
Chapter 2 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM Line Card Configuration
Where:
subinterface instructs the software to associate all PVCs with existing subinterface numbers equal
to their VPI numbers. For example: PVC 2/102 is listed under subinterface 7/0/0.2, PVC 12/156 is listed under 7/0/0.12, and so on.
Note The subinterface argument associates PVCs only with subinterfaces that have already been
created. If there is no subinterface for a VPI value, the system associates the PVC interface.
The following example shows how to enable PVC discovery on the ATM interface 7/0/0, for port 0, on an 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card that has ILMI enabled.
Router(config)# interface atm 7/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/16 ilmi Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit Router(config-if)# atm ilmi-pvc-discovery
Specifying the ATM ILMI Keep-Alive Rate
Use the atm ilmi-keepalive command to specify the ILMI keep-alive rate.
atm ilmi-keepalive [seconds [retry counts]]
Where:
seconds is a value from 1 to 65535
retry counts is a value from 2 to 5
with the main
2-14
The default value for seconds is 5000 and for retry counts is 4.
The following example shows how to enable ILMI keepalives for the ATM interface 5/0/0:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm ilmi-keepalive 10000 retry 3

OL-8834-04
Chapter 2 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM Line Card Configuration
Configuring the ATM Clock
Use the atm clock internal command to configure the clock source as internal.
atm clock {internal | line} no atm clock internal
The default clock setting is no atm clock internal, which means that clocking is derived from the line.
In the following example, clocking is set to internal.
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm clock internal
Configuring Cable Length
The atm lbo command improves signal strength for losses associated with lengthy cables. To specify whether the cable attached to the interface is short or long, use the atm lbo command in the following format:
atm lbo {short | long}
Where:
short is for a cable that is less than 225 feet.
long is for a cable that is 225 feet or greater.
Line Card Commands
The default is short.
In the following example, the cable length is set to short:
Router(config)# interface 2/0/0 Router(config-controller)# atm lbo short
Controlling ATM Alarm Reporting
To control alarms so that they are logged to the console for an ATM interface, use the atm report command in interface configuration mode.
atm report {los | oof | ais | ferf | lcd} no atm report {los | oof | ais | ferf | lcd}
Where:
los—Loss of Signal
oof—Out of Frame
ais—Alarm Indication Signal
ferf—Far End Receive Failure
lcd—Loss of cell delineation
To disable logging of alarms, use the no form of this command.
Reporting an alarm means that the alarm can be logged to the console. Not all alarms are logged. The alarm hierarchy rules dictate that only the most severe alarm of an alarm group is reported. Whether an alarm is reported or not, you can view the current state of a defect by checking the Active Defects line from the show controllers atm command output.

Router(config)# interface atm 3/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm report los Router(config-if)# atm report ais Router(config-if)# end Router#
Running Loopbacks
Use the loopback command to run a loopback tests.
loopback {diagnostic | payload | line} no loopback {diagnostic | payload | line}
Where:
diagnostic means transmit data is looped to receive data.
payload means the DS3 or E3 overhead bits are regenerated and inserted into the received DS3 or
line means the received data stream is looped to the transmit data stream.
Chapter 2 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM Line Card Configuration
E3 data stream, and the resulting stream is transmitted.
The following example shows how to run the diagnostic loopback:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# loopback diagnostic

snapshot is Snapshot routing support.
[no] broadcast (optional) indicates that this PVC sends out broadcast packets (for example, IGRP
updates). Pseudo broadcasting is supported. The broadcast keyword of the protocol ip command takes precedence if you previously configured the broadcast command on the ATM PVC.
For PVCs created under point-to-point subinterfaces, broadcast is enabled by default. For PVCs created under multipoint subinterfaces, use the broadcast argument to propagate IP routes.
Use the no form of this command to remove a static map.
Note Use the inarp command to configure Inverse ARP frequency.
The following example shows how to specify IP protocol on an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# protocol ip 172.16.32.49
Configuring a Broadcast
Use the broadcast command to configure broadcast packet duplication and transmission for an ATM PVC or VC class.
OL-8834-04
The broadcast command is not used to enable ATM cell-level multicast, broadcast, replication, or to set up the broadcast of user level traffic. The broadcast command indicates which PVC (or PVCs) sends out broadcast traffic. This is typically limited to traffic associated with routing protocols and routing updates (for example, OSPF hello packets).

command. See the “Specifying a Protocol” section on page 2-17 for more information.
Use the default form of this command to restore the default behavior described below.
broadcast no broadcast
The default is broadcast.
Use the no form of this command to disable transmission of broadcast packets.
For PVCs created under point-to-point subinterfaces, broadcast is enabled by default. For PVCs created under multipoint subinterfaces, you should use the broadcast command if you want to propagate IP routes (only the first PVC on a multipoint interface receives broadcast traffic).
The following example shows how to use the broadcast command to restore default behavior:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.4 Router(config-subif)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# broadcast Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
Configuring Inverse ARP
Use the inarp command in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode to configure the inverse ARP time period for an ATM PVC or VC class.
inarp minutes no inarp minutes
Where minutes is the inverse ARP frequency from 1 to 60 minutes.
The default frequency is 15 minutes.
Use the no form of this command to restore the default inverse ARP time period behavior.
Note This command is supported only for AAL5+SNAP encapsulation (the default) when Inverse ARP is
enabled. Use the encapsulation command to configure AAL5+SNAP encapsulation and the protocol command to enable Inverse ARP.
The following example shows how to specify an inverse ARP frequency of 40 minutes on an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# inarp 40

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.4 Router(config-subif)# pvc 2/100 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# class-vc boston
Configuring VBR-NRT
Use the vbr-nrt command to configure the variable bit rate non real-time (VBR-NRT) traffic management type and specify output peak cell rate, output sustainable cell rate, and output maximum burst cell size for an ATM PVC or VC class.
You can use the vbr-nrt command in PVC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode.
vbr-nrt peak_cell_rate sustainable_cell_rate maximum_burst_size no vbr-nrt peak_cell_rate sustainable_cell_rate maximum_burst_size
Where:
peak_cell_rate is the peak cell rate (PCR). For an E3 interface, you can enter values from 38 kbps
to 34,368 kbps. For a T3 interface, you can enter values from 38 kbps to 44,200 kbps. The PCR must be at least equal to the sustainable cell rate
sustainable_cell_rate is the sustainable cell rate (SCR) from 38 kbps to the PCR.
maximum_burst_size is a number from 1 to 65,535, which represents maximum burst size (MBS) in
cells.

Line Card VC Limitations

The Cisco 10000 series router supports four ATM service categories for virtual circuits (VCs):
Constant Bit Rate (CBR)
Variable Bit Rate-non-real-time (VBR-nrt)
Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR) with a peak cell rate (PCR), referred to as shaped UBR
UBR without a PCR, referred to as unshaped UBR
The segmentation and reassembly (SAR) mechanism configures priority and additional traffic management parameters for the various ATM service categories. SAR sets for the service categories.
Table 3-3 lists the priority levels the

Chapter 3 1-Port OC-12 ATM Line Card Configuration
The number of SAR priority levels and the service categories supported at each priority level vary from line card to line card. For example, the 1-port OC-12/STM-1 line card supports the four levels of priority and the service categories listed in
The ATM line cards support a maximum number of VCs per priority. That VC limit depends on the VC limit of the SAR (SAR limit) and the number of priority levels configured. determine the VC limit per priority level for the 1-port OC-12/STM-1 line card.

65,536 / 2 / 4 = 8192 VCs per priority level
SAR limit / number of priority levels
4 priority system:
65,536 / 4 = 16,384 VCs per priority level
Configuring more channels or VCs than there are available priority locations can cause random channels or VCs to get stuck in the SAR. This occurs when an active channel tries to reschedule itself, but no priority locations are available. Therefore, the channel cannot find a place to reschedule itself, which results in a lost event for the channel, and the channel becomes stuck in the SAR.
On the PRE2, when a VC becomes stuck in the SAR, the PRE2 scheduler stops forwarding traffic on only the VC that is stuck in the SAR; the other VCs still carry traffic. On the PRE3, the PRE3 scheduler stops forwarding traffic on all the VCs configured on that ATM line card.

Shaped UBRs on the OC-12 ATM Line Card

On an OC-12 ATM line card, when you configure UBR PVCs with a shaped value (UBR-PCR) and the shaped value is greater than one-half of the line rate (for example, 299,520 Kbps), the following limitations apply:
The number of VCs the OC-12 line card supports is up to one-half of the VC scaling limit of 16,384
VCs. Cisco IOS software counts each UBR-PVC above 299,520 as two VCs. Therefore, the active VC count must be maintained at the following:
16,384 > (number of VCs at 299,520 and above * 2) + (number of VCs below 299,520)
At any time, if more VCs are active than the allowed number above, the SAR on the line card leaks buffers, which results in a reduced buffer pool for active VCs and the SAR might fail if enough buffers are lost. To recover the lost buffers, reboot the system.
The router allows you to enter shaping values between 299,520 and 599,040, which the SAR does
not support. The SAR performs shaping in the range of 599,040 and 299,520 to 299,538. If you configure a shaping value between 299,528 and 399,032, the shape rate the SAR returns is unclear.
OL-8834-04
If you initially set a shaping rate of 599,040 and then change to another rate, or you initially
configure a shape rate and change to a rate of 599,040, the router accepts the command and the show commands display the new rate. However, the SAR does not perform shaping correctly until the next reload.
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
3-3

Interface Syntax

If you change the shaping rate from 599,040 to a lower rate, the LP shaper in VTMS allows the average rate to be met. However, during traffic bursts, ATM-level shaping is not accurate.
Interface Syntax
To specify an interface number in a configuration command, use the syntax in Tab le 3-5 to identify interfaces on the 1-Port OC-12 ATM line card.

Interface Configuration Samples

This section provides sample procedures for creating subinterfaces, permanent virtual circuits (PVCs), virtual circuit (VC) classes, and for enabling Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI).

Creating a Subinterface

Use the following procedure to create a subinterface.
Step 1 Divide the ATM interface into subinterfaces using the interface command. You can create either a
point-to-point or multipoint subinterface.
In the following example, multipoint subinterface number 1 is created on an 1-Port OC-12 ATM line card in slot 2.
Router(config)# interface atm 2/0/0.1 multipoint Router(config-subif)#
3-4
Step 2 Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface using the ip address configuration subcommand,
as shown in the following example:
Router(config-subif)# ip address 172.27.48.209 255.255.0.0 Router(config-subif)#
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
OL-8834-04
Chapter 3 1-Port OC-12 ATM Line Card Configuration
You have created interface 2/0/0.1. To enter this interface, use the following command:
Router(config)# interface atm 2/0/0.1 Router(config-subif)#

Creating a PVC

You can create up multiple PVCs on the 1-Port OC-12 ATM line card interface. You can create PVCs on the main interface or on a subinterface.
To create a PVC
Step 1 Enter interface or subinterface configuration mode.
Use the pvc command to specify a virtual path identifier (VPI) value between 0 and 255 and a virtual channel identifier (VCI) value between 0 and 65535. The following example creates a PVC with a VPI value of 0 and VCI value of 100 on a subinterface.
Router(config-subif)# pvc 0/100 Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
Interface Configuration Samples
Step 2 Assign a peer IP address to the PVC using the protocol ip configuration subcommand, as in the
following example:
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# protocol ip 172.16.32.49 Router(config-if-atm-vc)#

Creating a VC Class

This procedure demonstrates how to create an ATM VC class. An ATM VC class is a PVC boilerplate—a PVC description that you can apply to one or more PVCs.
Step 1 To create a PVC boilerplate, use the global configuration mode vc-class atm command. The following
example creates the ATM VC class named boston.
Router(config)# vc-class atm boston Router(config-vc-class)#
Step 2 Enter commands to describe the ATM VC class named boston. This example shows how to specify that
the class uses AAL5+MUX encapsulation and configure a variable bit rate-nonreal time (VBR-NRT) PVC.
Router(config-vc-class)# encaps aal5mux ip Router(config-vc-class)# vbr-nrt 30000 20000 128 Router(config-vc-class)# exit Router(config)#
OL-8834-04
You have created a VC class named boston. The next procedure describes how to apply this class to a PVC or subinterface.
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide

Interface Configuration Samples

Applying a VC Class

You can apply a VC class (created in the previous procedure) to a PVC or an interface.
In the following example, the class named boston is applied to subinterface 5/0/0.1.
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.1 Router(config-subif)# class-int boston Router(config-subif)#
In the following example, the class named boston is applied to a new PVC (0/102) in subinterface
5/0/0.2.
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.2 Router(config-subif)# pvc 0/102 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# class-vc boston Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
You have completed the steps for assigning a VC class to a PVC.

Enabling ILMI PVC Discovery

Chapter 3 1-Port OC-12 ATM Line Card Configuration
You can enable ILMI to automatically discover PVCs on neighboring switches and duplicate those PVC entries on the 1-Port OC-12 ATM line card.
To enable ILMI
Step 1 Create PVC 0/16 on the main interface, as shown in the following example:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/16 ilmi Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit Router(config-if)#
Step 2 In the following example, ILMI PVC discovery is enabled for the 1-Port OC-12 ATM line card.
Router(config-if)# atm ilmi-pvc-discovery
You have completed the steps required for running ILMI PVC discovery. You can use the show atm pvc command to display the PVCs on the Cisco 10000 series router.

Completing a Configuration

This section offers general information on completing a configuration of an 1-Port OC-12 ATM line card.

If you want multiple PVCs to go to the same network, you must create a multipoint subinterface. For example:
Router(config)# interface atm 4/0/0.2 multipoint Router(config-subif)#
3-8
After creating the subinterface, you can create PVCs that go to the same network. Figure 3-1 shows a multipoint subinterface on a fully meshed network. Fully meshed indicates that any workstation can communicate with any other workstation.

Attaching an ATM VC Class to an Interface
To attach an ATM VC class to an interface, use the class-int command. If you customize a PVC, its customization takes precedence over the interface class.
class-int class_name
Where class_name is the name of the class created using the global configuration class-vc atm command.
In the following example, a VC class named cambridge is created and attached to subinterface 3/0/0.1.
Router(config)# vc-class atm cambridge Router(config-vc-class)# encaps aal5mux ip Router(config-vc-class)# vbr-nrt 30000 20000 128 Router(config-vc-class)# exit Router(config)# interface atm 3/0/0.1 Router(config-subif)# class-int cambridge
Creating ATM PVPs
To create a permanent virtual path (PVP) used to multiplex one or more VBR-NRT VCs, use the atm pvp interface configuration command.
atm pvp vpi peak-rate [no-f4-oam] no atm pvp vpi
OL-8834-04
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
3-9
Commands
Chapter 3 1-Port OC-12 ATM Line Card Configuration
Where:
vpi is the ATM network virtual path identifier (VPI) of the VC used to multiplex the permanent
virtual path. The range is 0 to 255. You must use a VPI value that is not already in use (by a VC).
peak-rate is the maximum rate in Kbps at which the PVP can transmit data. You can enter values
from 84 Kbps to 299,520 Kbps and you can also enter 599,040 Kbps. The PVP peak rate value supersedes all cell rate values set for VBR-NRT PVCs.
no-f4-oam (optional) restricts the PVP from passing operations/administration/maintenance (OAM)
packets. When you create a PVP, the system creates PVCs with VCI values of 3 and 4 for each PVP, which pass OAM packets.
To verify the configuration of a PVP, use the show atm vp EXEC command.
The following example shows how to create a PVP with a peak rate of 50000 Kbps. The subsequent VCs created are multiplexed onto this virtual path.
Router(config)# interface atm 7/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm pvp 25 50000 Router(config-if)# pvc 25/100 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt 10000 5000 16 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit Router(config-if)# pvc 25/101 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt 10000 5000 16 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit Router(config-if)# pvc 25/102 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt 10000 5000 16 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit
Creating a PVC
Note You can only create one PVC on a point-to-point interface. Multiple PVCs can be created on a multipoint
You can create a unspecified bit rate (UBR) PVC by entering the pvc command:
pvc [word] [vpi_value/]{vci_value} [ilmi]
Where:
vpi_value is in the range from 0 to 255. If you do not specify a VPI value, the system assigns the
value of 0.
vci_value is in the range from 1 to 65535. The VCI value should be at least 33, because all of the
lower-numbered PVCs are generally used for specific purposes.
word is a name referring to this connection.
the ilmi parameter maps the ILMI channel to the PVC for this interface. You can only use this
argument for PVCs created on the main interface. It is highly recommended that you use this argument with PVC 0/16. For more information about activating ILMI, see the section
“Activating
ATM ILMI PVC Discovery” section on page 3-11.
By default, the pvc command creates a UBR PVC; to create a VBR-NRT PVC, see the “Configuring
VBR-NRT” section on page 3-17.
interface.

Chapter 3 1-Port OC-12 ATM Line Card Configuration
Examples:
Create PVC 0/105 on the main interface.
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)
Create PVC 2/102 on a subinterface.
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.1 Router(config-subif)# pvc 2/102 Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
Enabling ATM ILMI
Use the atm ilmi-enable interface configuration command to enable the ILMI on a port.
atm ilmi-enable no atm ilmi-enable
The default is ILMI is enabled, but you should disable the ILMI if the peer does not support ILMI. In order for peers to exchange ILMI information, you must create PVC 0/16, using the ilmi argument.
Commands
The following example disables ILMI:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# no atm ilmi-enable
Activating ATM ILMI PVC Discovery
To activate ATM PVC discovery, use the atm ilmi-pvc-discovery interface configuration command. This command causes ILMI-compliant devices to propagate PVCs.
atm ilmi-pvc-discovery [subinterface] no atm ilmi-pvc-discovery [subinterface]
Where:
subinterface instructs the software to associate all PVCs with existing subinterface numbers equal
to their VPI numbers. For example: PVC 2/102 would be listed under subinterface 7/0/0.2, PVC 12/156 would be listed under 7/0/0.12, and so on.
Note The subinterface argument associates PVCs only with subinterfaces that have already been
created. If there is no subinterface for a VPI value, the system associates the PVC with the main interface.
The following example shows how to enable PVC Discovery on the ATM main interface 7/0/0 on an 1-Port OC-12 ATM line card that has ILMI enabled.
Router(config)# interface atm 7/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/16 ilmi Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit Router(config-if)# atm ilmi-pvc-discovery
OL-8834-04
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
3-11
Commands
Specifying the ATM ILMI Keepalive Rate
To specify the ILMI keepalive rate, enter the atm ilmi-keepalive command.
atm ilmi-keepalive [seconds [retry counts]]
Where:
seconds is a value from 1 to 65535
retry counts is a value from 2 to 5
The default value for seconds is 5000 and for retry counts is 4.
The following example shows how to enable ILMI keepalives for the ATM interface 5/0/0:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm ilmi-keepalive 10000 retry 3
Configuring ATM Clock
To configure the clock source as internal, use the atm clock internal command:
atm clock internal no atm clock internal
Chapter 3 1-Port OC-12 ATM Line Card Configuration
The default clock setting is no atm clock internal, which means that clocking is derived from the line.
In the following example, clocking is set from the router.
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm clock internal
Specifying the ATM Flag
To specify the ATM flag value for the s1s0 bit, use the atm flag s1s0 command. This command is typically used to meet a standards requirement or to ensure interoperability with another vendor's equipment.
atm flag s1s0 value
Where:
s1s0 is part of the payload pointer byte
value is from 0 to 3
The default s1s0 value is 0.
The following example assigns a value of 2 to the ATM flag:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm flag s1s0 2
Controlling ATM Alarm Reporting
3-12
To control selected SONET alarms so that they are logged to the console for an ATM interface, use the atm report interface configuration command.
atm report {b1-tca | b2-tca | b3-tca | lais | lcd | lrdi | pais | plop | prdi | rdool | sd-ber | sf-ber | slof | slos}
no atm report {b1-tca | b2-tca | b3-tca | lais | lcd | lrdi | pais | plop | prdi | rdool | sd-ber | sf-ber | slof | slos}
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
OL-8834-04
Chapter 3 1-Port OC-12 ATM Line Card Configuration
Where:
b1-tca—B1 bit error rate (BEF) threshold crossing alarm
b2-tca—B2 BER threshold crossing alarm
b3-tca—B3 BER threshold crossing alarm
lais—Line Alarm Indication Signal
lcd—Loss of cell delineation
lrdi—Line Remote Defect Indication
pais—Path Alarm Indication Signal
plop—Path Loss of Pointer
prdi—Path Remote Defect Indication
rdool—Receive Data Out Of Lock
sd-ber—Line bit interleave parity error (LBIP) BER in excess of signal degrade (SD) threshold
sf-ber—LBIP BER in excess of signal fail (SF) threshold
slof—Section Loss of Frame
slos—Section Loss of Signal
Commands
To disable logging of select SONET alarms, use the no form of this command.
Reporting an alarm means that the alarm can be logged to the console. Not all alarms are logged. SONET alarm hierarchy rules dictate that only the most severe alarm of an alarm group is reported. Whether an alarm is reported or not, you can view the current state of a defect by checking the Active Defects line from the show controllers atm command output. A defect is a problem indication that is a candidate for an alarm.
The following example shows how to enable reporting of SD-BER and LAIS alarms on the interface:
Router(config)# interface atm 3/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm report sd-ber Router(config-if)# atm report lais Router(config-if)# end Router#
Specifying the ATM Alarm Thresholds
Specify the bit error rate (BER) threshold by using the atm threshold command:
atm threshold {b1-tca | b2-tca | b3-tca | sd-ber | sf-ber} value
Where:
b1-tca—B1 BER threshold crossing alarm
b2-tca—B2 BER threshold crossing alarm
b3-tca—B3 BER threshold crossing alarm
OL-8834-04
sd-ber—Set Signal Degrade BER threshold
sf-ber—Set Signal Fail BER threshold
value is an exponential value from 10
–3
to 10
–9
representing the BER at which an alarm occurs.
The default for all thresholds, except sf-ber, is 10-6. The default for sf-ber is 10-3.
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
3-13
Commands
The following example shows how to specify the B1 BER threshold crossing alarm value of 4:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# atm threshold b1-tca 4
Controlling the S1 SONET Overhead Byte
On Cisco 10000 series routers, ATM line cards run over SONET. In most situations, the default value for the S1 SONET overhead byte (0x0) does not need to be changed. Refer to the SONET standards for information about the possible values for the S1 SONET overhead byte and the definition of each value.
Controlling a Transmitted S1 Overhead Byte
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB, use the pos flag s1-byte tx command in interface configuration mode to control the transmission of the S1 SONET overhead byte.
pos flag s1-byte tx value
Where:
value is in the range of 0x0 to 0xF
0x0 is the default value
In the following example the S1 SONET overhead byte is set to 0xF:
pos flag s1-byte tx 0xF
Chapter 3 1-Port OC-12 ATM Line Card Configuration
Reacting to a Received S1 Overhead Byte
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB, use the pos flag s1-byte rx-communicate command to direct the router to switch the clock source to internal when it receives an S1 SONET overhead byte with a value of 0xF. When the S1 SONET overhead byte changes from 0xF to any other value, the clock source reverts back to the clock source specified in the user configuration.
The S1 overhead byte is ignored by the receiving router unless the pos flag s1-byte rx-communicate command is issued.
pos flag s1-byte rx-communicate
no pos flag s1-byte rx-communicate
The following example directs the router to switch to internal clocking when it receives an S1 SONET overhead byte with a value of 0xF:
pos flag s1-byte rx-communicate
The default for the pos flag s1-byte rx-communicate command is disabled or off.
Running Loopbacks
You can run a loopback by using the loopback command:
loopback {line | diagnostic {parallel | path | serial}} no loopback {line | diagnostic {parallel | path | serial}}
Where:
line is the line loopback
3-14
diagnostic starts an internal diagnostic loopback
parallel is the internal diagnostic parallel loopback
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
OL-8834-04
Chapter 3 1-Port OC-12 ATM Line Card Configuration
path is the internal diagnostic path loopback
serial is the internal diagnostic serial loopback
The following example shows hot to run the diagnostic serial loopback:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# loopback diagnostic serial

Enabling OAM Loopback Cell Generation and Management, page 3-19
Specifying a Protocol
Use the protocol ip command in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode to do one or both of the following:
Configure a static map for an ATM PVC or VC class.
Enable Inverse ARP or Inverse ARP broadcasts on an ATM PVC by either configuring Inverse ARP
protocol ip {protocol-address | inarp} [[no] broadcast] no protocol ip {protocol-address | inarp} [[no] broadcast]
Where:
protocol-address is the peer destination address that is being mapped to a PVC.
inarp (valid only for IP protocols on PVCs) enables Inverse ARP on an ATM PVC. If you specify
[no] broadcast (optional) indicates that this PVC sends out broadcast packets (for example, IGRP
directly on the PVC or in a VC class (applies to IP
protocols only).
a protocol-address instead of inarp, Inverse ARP is automatically disabled for that protocol.
updates). Pseudo broadcasting is supported. The broadcast keyword of the protocol ip command takes precedence if you previously configured the broadcast command on the ATM PVC.
For PVCs created under point-to-point subinterfaces, broadcast is enabled by default. For PVCs created under multipoint subinterfaces, you should use the broadcast argument if you want to propagate IP routes.
OL-8834-04
Use the no form of this command to remove a static map or disable Inverse ARP.
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
3-15
Commands
Note Use the inarp command to configure Inverse ARP frequency.
The following example shows how to specify IP protocol on an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# protocol ip 172.16.32.49
Configuring a Broadcast
To configure broadcast packet duplication and transmission for an ATM PVC or VC class, use the broadcast command.
The broadcast command is not used to enable ATM cell-level multicast, broadcast, replication, or to set up the broadcast of user level traffic. The broadcast command indicates which PVC (or PVCs) sends out broadcast traffic. This is typically limited to traffic associated with routing protocols and routing updates (for example, OSPF hello packets).
Chapter 3 1-Port OC-12 ATM Line Card Configuration
Note The broadcast argument within the protocol ip command takes precedence over the broadcast
command. See the protocol ip command.
Use the default form of this command to restore the default behavior described below.
broadcast no broadcast
The default is broadcast. Use the no form of this command to disable transmission of broadcast packets.
For PVCs created under point-to-point subinterfaces, broadcast is enabled by default. For PVCs created under multipoint subinterfaces, you should use the broadcast command if you want to propagate IP routes (only the first PVC on a multipoint interface receives broadcast traffic).
The following example shows how to use the broadcast command to restore the default behavior:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.4 Router(config-subif)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# broadcast Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
Configuring Inverse ARP
To configure the Inverse ARP time period for an ATM PVC or VC class, use the inarp command in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode.
inarp minutes no inarp minutes
“Specifying a Protocol” section on page 3-15 for additional information about the
3-16
Where minutes is the Inverse ARP frequency from 1 to 60 minutes.
The default frequency is 15 minutes.
Use the no form of this command to restore the default Inverse ARP time period behavior.
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
OL-8834-04
Chapter 3 1-Port OC-12 ATM Line Card Configuration
Note This command is supported only for AAL5+SNAP encapsulation (the default) when Inverse ARP is
enabled. Use the encapsulation command to configure AAL5+SNAP encapsulation and the protocol command to enable Inverse ARP.
The following example shows how to specify an Inverse ARP frequency of 40 minutes on an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# inarp 40
Attaching an ATM VC Class to a PVC
To attach an ATM VC class to a PVC, use the class-vc command.
class-vc name
Where:
name is the name of the class created with the global configuration class-vc atm command.
The following example shows how to assign an ATM VC class named boston to an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.4 Router(config-subif)# pvc 2/100 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# class-vc boston
Commands
Configuring VBR-NRT
To configure the variable bit rate-nonreal time (VBR-NRT) traffic management type and specify output peak cell rate, output sustainable cell rate, and output maximum burst cell size for an ATM PVC or VC class, use the vbr-nrt command. Use vbr-nrt in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode.
vbr-nrt peak_cell_rate sustainable_cell_rate maximum_burst_size no vbr-nrt peak_cell_rate sustainable_cell_rate maximum_burst_size
Where:
peak is the peak cell rate (PCR) from 84 Kbps to 299,520 Kbps and 599,040 Kbps.The PCR must
sustainable is the sustainable cell rate (SCR) from 84 Kbps to 299,520 Kbps and 599,040 Kbps.
maximum is a number from 1 to 256 that represents Maximum Burst Size (MBS) in cells
The default class of service is unspecified bit rate (UBR) running at the maximum line rate of the physical interface.
Use the no form of this command to remove the VBR-NRT parameters and return the PVC to its default of unspecified bit rate (UBR).
You can create up to 254 VBR-NRT PVCs on an 1-Port OC-12 ATM line card.
The following example shows how to configure the VBR-NRT traffic parameters on an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt 50000 20000 200
be at least equal to the sustainable cell rate (SCR)

Commands
Specifying Encapsulation
To specify the ATM adaptation layer (AAL) and encapsulation type for an ATM PVC or VC class, use the encapsulation command in interface-ATM-VC mode.
encapsulation {aal5mux ip | aal5snap} no encapsulation {aal5mux ip | aal5snap}
Where:
aal5mux ip is AAL5+MUX encapsulation
aal5snap is AAL5+LLC/SNAP encapsulation (the default)
Use the no form of this command to remove an encapsulation from a PVC or VC class.
The following example shows how to specify aal5mux ip encapsulation for an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.4 Router(config-subif)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# encaps aal5mux ip
Enabling ILMI Management
Chapter 3 1-Port OC-12 ATM Line Card Configuration
configuration mode or VC-class configuration
To enable ILMI management on an ATM PVC, use the ilmi manage command in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode. This command changes the convergence of higher-level protocols based on link-state changes.
ilmi manage no ilmi manage
Use the no form of this command to disable ILMI management.
The following example shows how to enable ILMI management on an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0 Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105 Router(config-if-atm-vc)# ilmi manage
Configuring OAM Retry
To configure OAM retry, use the oam retry command in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode.
oam retry up_value [down_value frequency] no oam retry up_value [down_value frequency]
Where:
up_value is a number from 1 to 600 that represents the OAM retry count before declaring a VC is up.
Default is 3 retries.
down_value is a number from 1 to 600 that represents the OAM retry count before declaring a VC
is down.
Default is 5 retries.
3-18
frequency is a number from 1 to 1000 that represents the OAM retry polling frequency, in seconds.
Default is 1 second.

Feature Overview

Checking Hardware and Software Compatibility

The PRE installed in the Cisco 10000 series router chassis must support the Cisco IOS software running on the router. Use the show version command to check the PRE version installed.
To see if a feature is supported by a Cisco IOS release, to locate the software document for that feature, or to check the minimum software requirements of Cisco IOS software with the hardware installed on your router, Cisco maintains the Software Advisor tool on Cisco.com at
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/CompNav/Index.pl
This tool does not verify whether line cards within a system are compatible, but does provide the minimum Cisco IOS requirements for individual hardware line cards, modules, or options.
You must be a registered user on Cisco.com to access this tool.
Feature Overview
The 4-Port Channelized T3 Half-Height line card is very similar in function to the 6-Port Channelized T3 line card. The differences are summarized in the following features list for the 4-Port Channelized T3 Half-Height line card:
Provides the Cisco 10000 series router with four DS3 ports of high-density T3 service (eight T3
ports per slot)
Supports full line rate transfers of packet sizes from 64 bytes to 8000 bytes
Supports 256 serial data channels for the first three ports, and 255 serial data channels for the last
port, or 1023 channels per half-height module
The 256 (255) serial data channels per port are configurable up to:
1 DS3 interface
28 DS1 interfaces
256 (255) N x DS0 interfaces
Or any combination of these interfaces that does not exceed the bandwidth of the port
Note Port 3 supports only 255 channels.

Interface Configuration Sample

Each T3 controller can be configured as a single T3 interface (full or subrate), as 28 T1 interfaces, or as an even larger number of fractional T1s. The following procedure walks you through the basic steps for creating full-rate and subrate T3
Step 1 Create an interface. In the following examples, each type of interface is created in a different T3
controller (2/0/0 through 2/0/3).
Full-Rate T3 Interface
a. Enter controller configuration mode.
Router(config)# controller t3 2/0/0 Router(config-controller)#
b. To create a full-rate T3 interface, you must eliminate the T1 interfaces by entering the no
channelized command.
Router(config-controller)# no channelized Router(config-controller)# exit Router(config)#
interfaces, as well as T1 and fractional T1 interfaces:
4-4
c. Go to interface configuration mode:
Router(config)# interface serial 2/0/0
d. You can now continue to Step 2.
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
OL-8834-04
Chapter 4 4-Port Channelized T3 Half-Height Line Card Configuration
Subrate T3 Interface
a. Enter controller configuration mode.
Router(config)# controller t3 2/0/1 Router(config-controller)#
b. To create a subrate T3 interface, first create a full-rate one.
Router(config-controller)# no channelized Router(config-controller)# exit Router(config)#
c. Then go into interface configuration mode, where you can use the dsu bandwidth command to
create a subrate T3 interface. In this example, a subrate T3 interface is created that has a bandwidth of 16,000 kbps.
Router(config)# interface serial 2/0/1 Router(config-if)# dsu mode digital-link Router(config-if)# dsu bandwidth 16000
d. You can now continue to Step 2.
Full T1 Interface
a. Enter controller configuration mode.
Router(config)# controller t3 2/0/2 Router(config-controller)#
Interface Configuration Sample
b. Use the t1 channel group command to create a T1 interface. In the following example, T1 interface
1 (of 28) is defined as being made up of a single channel group, number 20 (any number between 0 and 23). This channel group consists of all 24 DS0 time slots.
Router(config-controller)# t1 1 channel-group 20 timeslots 1-24
c. Go to interface configuration mode for the channel group you just created.
Router(config)# interface serial 2/0/2/1:20
d. You can now continue to Step 2.
Fractional T1 Interface
a. Enter controller configuration mode.
Router(config)# controller t3 2/0/3 Router(config-controller)#
b. Use the t1 channel group command to create fractional T1 interfaces. In the following example, T1
interface 3 (of 28) is defined as being made up of three channel groups, numbers 19, 20, and 21. (Numbers between 0 and 23 are allowed.) The channel groups consist of a total of 24 DS0 time slots. Each channel group represents a separate interface.
Router(config-controller) t1 3 channel-group 19 timeslots 1-6, 10 Router(config-controller) t1 3 channel-group 20 timeslots 7,8,9 Router(config-controller) t1 3 channel-group 21 timeslots 11-24
c. Go to interface configuration mode for one of the channel groups; for example:
Router(config)# interface serial 2/0/3/3:19

Unchannelized T3 Commands

Step 2 Enter the encapsulation method. This example shows the command for using Frame Relay
encapsulation. You can also choose PPP or HDLC.
Router(config-if)# encapsulation frame relay
Step 3 If IP routing is enabled on the system, assign an IP address and subnet mask; for example:
Router(config-if)# ip address 172.16.32.49 255.255.0.0
Step 4 Add any configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and set the interface line
characteristics.
Step 5 Change the shutdown state to up, which enables the interface.
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Step 6 When you have entered all of the configuration subcommands to complete the configuration, press Ctrl-Z
to exit configuration mode.
Step 7 To write the new configuration to NVRAM, type
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Chapter 4 4-Port Channelized T3 Half-Height Line Card Configuration
After you create an interface configuration, you can modify it at any time by using the appropriate Cisco IOS configuration commands.
Unchannelized T3 Commands
By default, a T3 interface on a 4-Port Channelized T3 Half-Height line card is channelized into 28 T1 interfaces. You must unchannelize the T3 interface in order to create a full-rate or subrate T3 This section describes the commands you use to create, customize, and test full-rate and subrate T3 interfaces.

OL-8834-04
Chapter 4 4-Port Channelized T3 Half-Height Line Card Configuration

Configuring a T3 Interface as Unchannelized

The default value for a T3 interface is channelized. To create an unchannelized T3 interface, you must first enter controller configuration mode for the T3 controller you want to configure.
controller T3 slot/sub-slot/port
After entering controller configuration mode, you can configure the T3 interface as unchannelized (clear channel) by entering the no channelized command. Use the channelized command to return the interface to its default (channelized).
[no] channelized
Caution The no channelized command removes all channel groups from a channelized T3 interface. If you have
already configured channel groups, use this command with caution.
In the following example, an unchannelized T3 interface is created:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0/0 Router(config-controller)# no channelized
Unchannelized T3 Commands

Specifying the DSU Mode

To specify a DSU mode for a selected T3 interface, use the dsu mode command from interface configuration mode. This command configures the line card to emulate a manufacturer’s proprietary multiplexing scheme.
[no] dsu mode [Adtran | cisco | Digital-link | Kentrox | Larscom | verilink-highbit | verilink-lowbit
]
The default DSU mode is cisco.
Use the no form of the command to return the DSU mode to its default.
In the following example, the DSU mode is set to cisco:
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0 Router(config-if)# dsu mode cisco

Specifying Subrate T3 Bandwidth

To specify subrate T3 bandwidth, use the dsu bandwidth bandwidth command from interface configuration mode.
[no] dsu bandwidth bandwidth
Where bandwidth is a numeric value between 0 and 44210 kbps.
The default bandwidth is 44210 kbps.
To return to the default bandwidth, use the no form of this command.
When you specify a value, the software sets the bandwidth to the closest acceptable bandwidth, based on the time slot size for the current DSU mode.
OL-8834-04
To use the dsu bandwidth command, the remote side of the connection must also support the same DSU modes.
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
4-7
Unchannelized T3 Commands
In the following example, a bandwidth of 16000 kbps is specified:
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0 Router(config-if)# dsu bandwidth 16000

Setting the Framing Type

To specify a framing type for the unchannelized T3 controller, use the framing command.
[no] framing [c-bit | m13]
The default framing type is C-bit.
Use the no form of this command to restore the default framing type.
In the following example, framing is set to m13:
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0 Router(config-if)# framing m13
Chapter 4 4-Port Channelized T3 Half-Height Line Card Configuration

Enabling Scrambling

To enable scrambling on an unchannelized T3 interface, use the scramble command from interface configuration mode.
[no] scramble
The default setting for this command is no scramble (scrambling disabled).
Both sides of the link should have the same scrambling setting.
In the following example, scrambling is enabled on the specified T3 interface:
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0 Router(config-if)# scramble

Specifying an Idle Character

To set a specific character on the unchannelized T3 interface to be transmitted between HDLC packets, use the idle character command from interface configuration mode.
[no] idle-character [flags | marks]
Where:
flags sets an idle character of 0x7e.
marks sets an idle character of all 0xff.
The default idle character is 0x7e.
4-8
Note Because flags is the default, the output of the show running-config command does not display the flags
idle character setting.
Use the no form of the command to return the idle character to its default.
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
OL-8834-04
Chapter 4 4-Port Channelized T3 Half-Height Line Card Configuration
In the following example, the idle character is set to flags:
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0 Router(config-if)# idle-character flags
Note Some systems interpret marks (or 0xff) as an abort signal. Therefore, flags (or 0x7e) is preferred.

Configuring a BER Test

You can configure an unchannelized T3 interface to run a bit error rate (BER) test. The test can be used in checking cables and solving signal problems in the field. To send a BER test pattern on an unchannelized T3 interface, use the following interface configuration command:
[no] bert [errors number | pattern pattern] interval time
Where:
errors number is 1 to 255.
pattern pattern is
0s—Repetitive test pattern of all zeros (00000…)
1s—Repetitive test pattern of all ones (11111…)
Unchannelized T3 Commands
2^15—Pseudorandom O.151 test pattern (32,768 bits long)
2^20-O153—Pseudorandom O.153 test pattern (1,048,575 bits long)
QRSS-2^20—Pseudorandom QRSS O.151 test pattern (1,048,575 bits long)
2^23—Pseudorandom O.151 test pattern (8,388,607 bits long)
alt-0-1—Repetitive alternating test pattern of zeros (0s) and ones (1s), for example 01010101
interval time is 1 to 1440 minutes.
You can terminate a BER test at any time using the no bert command.
For more information, refer to the online Cisco 10000 Series Internet Router Troubleshooting Guide.
The following are example of configuring a BER test:
Send a BER test pseudorandom pattern of 2^20 through T3 interface 1/0/0 for 5 minutes.
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0 Router(config-if)# bert pattern 2^20 interval 5
Send a repetitive pattern of all 1s through T3 interface 1/0/0 for 1440 minutes.
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0 Router(config-if)# bert pattern 1s interval 1440
To show BER test statistics, use the show controllers t3 slot/subslot/port bert command in EXEC or privileged EXEC mode:
Router# show controllers t3 6/1/0 bert T3 6/1/0 is up. BERT test result (done) Test Pattern : 2^15, Status : Not Sync, Sync Detected : 1 Interval : 5 minute(s), Time Remain : 0 minute(s) Bit Errors (since BERT started): 0 bits, Bits Received (since BERT started): 13025 Mbits Bit Errors (since last sync): 0 bits Bits Received (since last sync): 13025 Mbits

Unchannelized T3 Commands

Specifying the Cable Length

To specify the cable length for the T3 controller, use the cablelength command.
[no] cablelength feet
Where feet is a number from 0 to 450.
The default value is 249 feet.
Use the no form of this command to restore the default cable length.
In the following example, the cable length value is set to 40 feet.
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0 Router(config-if)# cablelength 40
Note This command causes the system to use one of two settings for impedance matching and pulse shaping,
one setting for any cable length between 0 and 249 feet and another setting for any cable length greater than 250 feet. The exact value you enter is stored in the configuration file.
Chapter 4 4-Port Channelized T3 Half-Height Line Card Configuration

Entering MDL Messages

You can configure maintenance data link (MDL) messages (as defined in the ANSI T1.107a-1990 specification) on the unchannelized T3 interface.
Note MDL messages are supported only when the T3 framing is set for C-bit parity. (See the “Setting the
Framing Type” section on page 4-8.)
To configure MDL messages, use the mdl command.
[no] mdl {transmit {path | idle-signal | test-signal} | string {eic | lic | fic | unit | pfi | port
| generator} id_string}
Where:
transmit path enables transmission of the MDL path message.
transmit idle-signal enables transmission of the MDL idle signal message.
eic is the equipment identification code (up to 10 characters).
lic is the location identification code (up to 11 characters).
fic is the frame identification code (up to 10 characters).
unit is the unit identification code (up to 6 characters).
pfi is the facility identification code to include in the MDL path message
(up to 38 characters).
port is the equipment port (which initiates the idle signal) to include in the MDL idle signal message
(up to 38 characters).
4-10
generator is the generator number to include in the MDL test signal message (up to 38 characters).
The default is that no MDL message is configured.
Use the no form of the command to remove an MDL message.

Channelized T3 Commands

Configuring Loopback Mode

You can configure the T3 controller for loopback mode using the loopback command.
[no] loopback [local | network | remote]
Local and network loopbacks are the same.
To cancel a loopback, use the no form of the command.
For more information on the loopback command, refer to the online Cisco 10000 Series Internet Router
Troubleshooting Guide.
Examples:
Configure the T3 controller for local loopback.
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0 Router(config-if)# loopback local
Configure the T3 controller for remote loopback.
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0 Router(config-if)# framing c-bit Router(config-if)# loopback remote
