Software Configuration Guide and the Cisco 10000 Series Quality of Service Configuration Guide, the
Qos and APS chapters were not ported to the new guide.
Removed several sections that have been moved to more appropriate locations in other guides:
•Configuring the router at startup (moved to the Cisco 10008 Quick Start Guide and the Cisco 10008
Router Hardware Installation Guide)
•Managing file systems (moved to the Cisco 10008 Quick Start Guide and the Cisco 10008 Router
Hardware Installation Guide)
•Managing PRE redundancy (moved to the Cisco 10000 Series Router Performance Routing Engine
Installation)
•Upgrading software (moved to the Cisco 10000 Series Router Performance Routing Engine
Installation)
•Managing system boot parameters (moved to the Cisco 10008 Router Hardware Installation Guide)

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.

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
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.
Default Values
Table 1-2 lists default configuration values for the 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM line card. This table also
includes the command used to modify a default value, and provides information about values to set on
the remote end of the connection.
Chapter 1 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM Line Card Configuration
Ta b l e 1-24-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM line card Defaults
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.

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

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 1Separate 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.
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.
Step 2Use 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 1Use the global configuration mode vc-class atm namecommand, 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 2Enter 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.
Step 2In 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 1Enter interface configuration mode and then specify necessary parameters, such as the IP address and
subnet mask.
Step 2After 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 3Write 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 atmclass_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

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.
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.

ATM Commands
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.
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
Where:
•vpi is the ATM network virtual path identifier (VPI) of the VC used to multiplex the permanent
•peak-rate is the maximum rate in Kbps at which the PVP can transmit data. You can enter values from
•no-f4-oam (optional) restricts the PVP from passing operations/administration/maintenance (OAM)
Chapter 1 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 ATM Line Card Configuration
virtual path. The range is 0 to 255. You must use a VPI value that is not already in use (by a VC).
84 Kbps to 74,880 Kbps, and you can also enter 149,760 Kbps. The PVP peak rate value supersedes all
rate values set for VBR-NRT PVCs associated with the PVP.
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
NoteYou 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.
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.
NoteThe 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.
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.
•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:
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 txvalue
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.

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.
•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

ATM Commands
NoteUse 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:
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).
NoteThe 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:
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
NoteThis 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:
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:

8-Port E3/DS3 ATM Line Card Configuration
This chapter describes procedures for configuring the Cisco 10000 series 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card,
hereafter known as the 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card.
The 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card has eight E3 or DS3 (T3) copper interface terminations that provide
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) serial interfaces and perform Layer 2 ATM functions.
Table 2-1 shows the minimum Cisco IOS release on each release train that supports the 8-Port E3/DS3
ATM line card.

Default Values
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.
Default Values
Table 2-2 lists default configuration values for the 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card. This table also includes
the commands used to modify a default values, and provides information about values to set on the
remote end of the connection.
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.

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.

Line Card Interface Configuration Examples
Line Card Interface Configuration Examples
This section provides sample procedures for configuring the 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card for E3 or T3
connections, as well as creating ATM subinterfaces, permanent virtual circuits (PVCs), and virtual
circuit (VC) classes. Procedures for enabling Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI) are also
included.
Creating a Subinterface
Use the following procedure to create a subinterface on an 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card interface.
Step 1Separate 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.
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.
Step 2Use 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
OL-8834-04
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 1From global configuration mode, enter the vc-class atm namecommand, 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 2Enter 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.
Step 2Enable 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 1Enter interface configuration mode and specify necessary parameters, such as the IP address and subnet
mask.
Step 2After 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 3Write 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 atmclass_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

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.
NoteWhen 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:
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

Setting the Line Card Framing
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:
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.

framing command in interface configuration mode.
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.

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.

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 TypeAllowable Kbps Range for peak-rate
E338 to 34,368
T338 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.

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.
NoteThe 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.
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.
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.

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.
NoteUse the inarp command to configure Inverse ARP frequency.
The following example shows how to specify IP protocol on an ATM PVC:
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).

Line Card Commands
NoteThe broadcast argument within the protocol ip command takes precedence over the broadcast
Chapter 2 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM Line Card Configuration
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:
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.
NoteThis 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:
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.

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 Commands
(SCR).
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 UBR.
The following example shows how to configure the VBR-NRT traffic parameters on an ATM PVC:
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}
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:

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
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.
Default Values
Table 3-2 lists default configuration values for the 1-Port OC-12 ATM line card. This table also includes
the command used to modify a default value, and provides information about values to set on the remote
end of the connection.
Chapter 3 1-Port OC-12 ATM Line Card Configuration
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.

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

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.
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 1Divide 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.
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 1Enter 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.
Step 2Assign 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 1To 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 2Enter 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.
Step 2In 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.

Step 1After you configure the interfaces for ATM, you may need to enter interface configuration mode and
specify routing protocols, network addresses, and so on.
Step 2After you have included 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 3Write the new configuration to memory:

Creating and Entering Subinterfaces
Use the interface command to divide the 1-Port OC-12 ATM line card interface into multiple
subinterfaces to simplify management of the card, create interfaces with different MTU sizes, and create
connections to different networks.
interface atm slot/subslot/port.subinterface type
no interface atm slot/subslot/port.subinterface type
Chapter 3 1-Port OC-12 ATM Line Card Configuration
Where:
•slot is 1 to 8
•subslot and port are both 0
•subinterface is a number from 1 to 4,294,967,295
•type is 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.
Examples:
•Create subinterface number 1 for an 1-Port OC-12 ATM line card in slot 1.
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.
NoteYou 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.

Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
OL-8834-04
Chapter 3 1-Port OC-12 ATM Line Card Configuration
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.
NoteThe 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.
To specify the ATM flag value for the s1s0 bit, use the atm flags1s0 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.

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:
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 txvalue
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

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:
•diagnostic starts an internal diagnostic loopback
•parallel is the internal diagnostic parallel loopback

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.
•Specifying a Protocol, page 3-15
•Configuring a Broadcast, page 3-16
•Configuring Inverse ARP, page 3-16
•Attaching an ATM VC Class to a PVC, page 3-17
•Configuring VBR-NRT, page 3-17
•Specifying Encapsulation, page 3-18
Commands
•Enabling ILMI Management, page 3-18
•Configuring OAM Retry, page 3-18
•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
NoteUse the inarp command to configure Inverse ARP frequency.
The following example shows how to specify IP protocol on an ATM PVC:
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
NoteThe 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:
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

OL-8834-04
Chapter 3 1-Port OC-12 ATM Line Card Configuration
NoteThis 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:
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:

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
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 256serial 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
NotePort 3 supports only 255 channels.
•Provides high availability when two 4-Port Channelized T3 Half-Height line cards are installed and
interconnected with a Y-cable in a redundant configuration
•Supports six T1 BER tests simultaneously for each set of two ports
•Adds new BER test patterns (3in24, 1in8, and 2in8) and the show bert command to display BER
test statistics
•Adds remote loopback inband looping codes (2in5 and 3in5) for T1 SF and ESF framing

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 1Create 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:

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)# 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.
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.
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 2Enter 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 3If 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 4Add any configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and set the interface line
characteristics.
Step 5Change the shutdown state to up, which enables the interface.
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Step 6When you have entered all of the configuration subcommands to complete the configuration, press Ctrl-Z
to exit configuration mode.
Step 7To 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. This section describes the following:

•Running Equipment Loopbacks, page 4-12
NoteConfiguring a T3 interface as unchannelized must occur in controller configuration mode. All other
configuration of an unchannelized T3 interface must occur in interface configuration mode.
Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuaration Guide
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
CautionThe 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.
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 bandwidthbandwidth 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
NoteBecause 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
NoteSome 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
NoteThis 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.

You can configure maintenance data link (MDL) messages (as defined in the ANSI T1.107a-1990
specification) on the unchannelized T3 interface.
NoteMDL 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.

Chapter 4 4-Port Channelized T3 Half-Height Line Card Configuration
Examples of configuring MDL messages follow:
•Enable the MDL path message transmission.
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0
Router(config-if)# mdl transmit path
•Enable the MDL idle signal message transmission.
Router(config-if)# mdl transmit idle-signal
•Enable the MDL test signal message transmission.
Router(config-if)# mdl transmit test-signal
•Enter the equipment identification code.
Router(config-if)# mdl string eic router A
•Enter the location identification code.
Router(config-if)# mdl string lic test network
•Enter the frame identification code.
Router(config-if)# mdl string fic building b
Unchannelized T3 Commands
•Enter the unit identification code.
Router(config-if)# mdl string unit abc
•Enter the facility identification code.
Router(config-if)# mdl string pfi string
•Enter the port number to send in the MDL idle signal message.
Router(config-if)# mdl string port string
•Enter the generator number to send in the MDL test signal message.
Router(config-if)# mdl string generator string
Setting the Clock Source
At the prompt, set the internal or line clock source for the selected T3 controller using the clock source
command. This command is set in controller configuration mode.
clock source {internal | line}
Where:
•internal specifies that the internal clock source is used.
•line specifies that the network clock source is used.
The default is clock source internal.
In this example, a T3 controller is instructed to use a line clock source.
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0
Router(config-if)# clock source line
OL-8834-04
NoteThe clock source cannot be specified as line on both ends of the connection.

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
Chapter 4 4-Port Channelized T3 Half-Height Line Card Configuration
NoteRemote loopback works only when framing is set to c-bit.
Running Equipment Loopbacks
Use the equipment loopback command to run loopbacks in conjunction with remote equipment.
[no] equipment [customer | network] loopback
Where:
•customer enables the line card to respond to remote T3 loopback commands from the remote T3
equipment.
•network causes the line card to ignore remote T3 loopback commands.
Use the no form of the command to terminate the loopback.
For more information on the loopback command, refer to the online Cisco 10000 Series Internet Router
Troubleshooting Guide.
In the following example, an equipment network loopback is configured:
Router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0
Router(config-if)# equipment network loopback
Channelized T3 Commands
4-12
By default, a T3 interface on a 4-Port Channelized T3 Half-Height line card is channelized into 28 T1
interfaces. This section describes the commands you use to customize and test a channelized T3
interface. This section describes:
•Configuring a T3 Interface as Channelized, page 4-13
