ATM Local Managem ent I nterface
ATM local management interface (ATM LMI) operates betwe en the Cisco MGX 8220 shelf and the
Cisco BPX 8600 series. The ATM LMI is used to communicate change of status of semi-permanent
connection s. The ATM LMI protoc o l confor m s to the p r ot ocol sp e cified i n ITU-T S Recomm endat io n
Q.2931, Sept. 1994. The ATM LMI also supports optional proprietary extensions to the ATM LMI for
the reporting of node information and BNI queue configurations.
The two end points of the ATM LMI signaling are an ATM LMI process in the BCC in the Cisco
BPX 8600 series and an ATM LMI process in the ASC in the Cisco MGX 8220 shelf. The ATM LMI
PDUs are transpo rted ove r an A A L5 co nn ec tio n ( V PI= 3/ V CI =3 1 ) bet w een t he B N I on th e Cisco
BPX 8600 series side and the BNM on the Cisco MGX 8220 side. The ATM LMI process in the Cisco
BPX 8600 series can support ATM LMI connections for up to 16 Cisco MGX 8220 shelves.
Cisco MGX 8220 System Overview
The Cisco A TM LMI extension (which must be specifically enabled) uses a node update status message,
which is sent (C isco BPX 8600 to Cisco MGX 8220 shelf or Cis co MGX 8220 s helf to Cisco BPX 860 0)
whenever a change in node name, node IP address, major alarm status, or minor alarm status occurs.
The message can optionally contain Qbin status, thereby allowing Cisco MGX 8220 to configure the
BNI port egres s queues.
Cisco MGX 822 0 Shelf
Physically, the Cisco MGX 8220 shelf consists of cards in a 19-inch rack-mounted shelf.

Cisco MGX 822 0 Cards
Cisco MGX 8 220 card s are ins tall ed in pair s cons istin g of a front car d (functi on modul e) and a m atchi ng
back card (line module). These cards are installed in the same numbered slot. Communication between
slots is achieved through buses in the shelf backplane.
The ASC and the BNM m odules must always be present in an Cisco MGX 8220 shelf and are re ferred
to as the core modules. The Cisco MGX 8220 shelf supports redundant core modules where one
ASC/BNM s et is an act ive set and a seco nd A S C /B N M is a standby se t. I n th e even t o f a malfunct io n ,
the stan db y set aut om a ti cal ly takes over as the ac tive set. Th e SRM is op ti on al. If present, i t i s p ar t of
the core card set, with switchover to the standby set if the active BNM or ASC malfuncti ons.

In DC-powered systems, Cisco MGX 8220 supports one or two power entry modules (PEMs) each of
which can be connected to its own independent 48V DC supply. The PEMs are installed horizontally,
side by side i n t he bo tt om re ar of th e s h el f. (Se e F igu re 2-3 .) Each modul e i s power ed fro m a 4 8 V DC
power source using three wires.
• Positive ground
• –48V DC
• Safety ground
The 48V DC cable is conne cted to the power en try module through a 3-position E uro-block connector.
The two modules provide power supply redundancy. Each power entry module is capable of supplying
enough power for a fully loaded Cisco MGX 8220 shelf.

This section describes the following core module equipment:
• Cisco MGX 8220 ASC Shelf Controller, page 2-12
The ASC provides overall control of the shelf. Each Cisco MGX 8220 shelf must have at least one
ASC. The ASC back card also provides RS-232 and Ethernet ports to attach a control terminal or
workstation.

Console Ports
There are th r ee ha rd ware co n s ole p o rt s lo cated on th e ASC back c ar d.
The main te na nc e port is an RS - 2 32 p o rt u s ed by a d ir ect conn ect al ph an u mer ic termin al for inp ut ti ng
command-line interface (CLI) commands. Y-cables cannot be used on this port. This port must be used
to ma ke i nitial IP a d dr e ss a ss ig nments on the ot her po r ts bef ore t he other po r ts can b e used.
The control port and IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet, LAN AUI) ports are used for inputting commands and file
transfers (statistics collection and firmware download). The control port communicates using SLIP and
the Ethe rnet port communicates using IP. These ports support TFTP, SNMP, and CLI (through Telnet).
The control port can be used with Y-cables for redundancy when a second ASC card set is present.
Ethernet Transceiv er Extenders
Some Eth er ne t t ra nsceivers with i nt egrat ed D B- 1 5 co nn ec to rs cannot be co n ne cte d di re ctl y to th e
LAN AUI Ethernet port on the Cisco MGX 8220 ASC back ca rd because of interferenc e with the ASC
back card extractor levers. To overcome this problem, two Ethernet transceiver extenders (one each for
a primary and secondary ASC card) are prov ided.
If you en counter di fficulty in c onnecting an Ethernet transcei ver, install an ext ender on each ASC card.
Core Module Overview
1. With the retaining clip on the LAN AUI port in the unlocked (up) position, connect the Ethernet
transceiver extender to the LAN AUI port on the ASC back card as shown in Figure 2-12.

Core Modul e Overvi ew
IMATM
The inverse multiplexing for AT M trunk module (IMATM) is housed in the Cisco MGX 8220 shelf in
a service module slot. IMATM is an extension to the Cisco BPX 8600 series BNI card that supports
Cisco BPX 8600 series ATM trunks over multiple (up to 8) T1 and E1 lines instead of single T3 or E3
line. The IMATM does not use the Cisco MGX 8220 cell b us as other service modules do, but provides
its own trunk to the Cisco BPX 8600 series.
Service Res ource Modules
A service redundancy module (AX-SRM-T1/E1) provides three major functions for service modules:
bit error rate testing (BERT) of T1 and E1 lines and ports, loop back of individual nx64 channels toward
the CP E, and 1:N redunda ncy. Th e AX-S RM - 3T3 als o provides bulk distr ibu tion o f T1 line s . This
section de scribed the following:
• AX-SRM-T1/E1 Features, page 2-22
• Rules for Installation of SRMs, page 2-23
• AX-SRM-3T3, page 2-24
Chapter
Figure 2-17 show s an ill us t ration o f th e A X - S RM-T1 /E1 car d .
AX-SRM-T1/E1 Features
The SRM ca rds pr ovi de the following function s :
• Bit e rror rate testing ( BERT)
When a service module line or port has bee n put into loopback mode, the SRM can generate a test
pattern over the looped line or port, read the received looped data, and report on the error rate. This
operation can be performed on a complete T1 or E1 line, on a fractional T1 or E1 line, on a DS0
bundl e (NxD S0), or on a s in gle DS0 ch anne l. T he S RM ca n sup por t B ER T on ly o ne li ne or ch anne l
at a time.
BERT is capable of generating a variety of test patterns including all ones, all zeros, alternate one
zero, double alternate one zero, 2
DDS4, and DD S5 .
• Extended loopback code-generation capabilities for individual DS-1 or subra te streams
• 1:N service module redundancy
Service module redunda ncy pro vid es 1:N redunda ncy for multip le g roups of servic e modu les whe re
a group can consi s t of N active and one st andby service mod ules. The redundant s ervice m odule in
a group must be a superset (with respect to functionality) of the cards. For example, one group
could co nt ain a ll th e F R SMs and an o th er al l t he AUSMs.
1:N re d un dancy must be con fig ur ed by the us e r. When the f ailure of an a ctive card in a gr o up is
detected by the ASC, the SRM is ordered to invoke 1:N redundancy for that group. The back card
of the failed s er vice m o du le now di r ects data to a n d fr om the standby ser vice m o du le. With t he
SRM-T1/E1 , when 1:N r edundancy is invoked for a gr oup, it is not available to the other gro ups or
to other service modules in the group using 1:N redundancy. Another fa ilure in any group results
in a shelf alarm. This restriction does not apply to the SRM-3T3, for example, the SRM-3T3 can
support multiple group failures.

Rules for Installation of SRMs
The installation of an SRM is optional. If SRMs are installed in a shelf with redundant ASCs and BNMs,
the shelf must also have redundant SRMs. If a shelf has a single ASC and BNM pair (no redundancy),
the SRM m u st be ins ta lled in t he appropriate slo t.
• The SRM is in stalled i n slot 15 when the non-re dundant ASC/BNM is ins talled in slot 1 and sl ot 3.
• The SRM is installed in slot 16 when the non-redun dant ASC/BNM is installed in slot 2 and slot 4.
• When a f ail ed ca rd i s r ep lac ed , y ou must switch back t o n o rm al op er at io n; i t i s n ot au to m at ic .

The SRM-3T3 service redundancy module provides bulk distribution of T1 circuits to the 4-port or
8-port T 1 serv ice modu le s. Rathe r than in dividually cable each of th e 40 or 80 inco min g T1/E 1 line s to
an MGX 8220 edge concentrator, the MGX 8220 backplane is designed with a distribution bus that
allows an A X-S R M - 3T 3 t o dis tribu te T1 s r eceived “in bulk” to T1-based service mo d ul es . Th is
eliminates the need for T1 back cards for each service module and the associated cabling and potential
overload i n g of th e di gital cro s s-conn ect syst em po r t. The AX- SRM-3 T3 provides a met h od to bring i n
from on e to three T 3 in te rf ace s th at can b e d em u l tip lexed t o t heir con stituent T1 s , pr ov id ing up to 2 8,
56, or 80 T1s to be distributed to T1 service modules over the distribution bus. Both 4-port and 8-port
servic e modules are supported in any combination. The AX- S RM-3T3 supports the following features:
• 1:1 redundancy of the SRM with Y-cabling.
• The same fea tures as the AX-SRM-T1E1, including bit rate error test (BERT) and 1:N redundancy
of T1/ E 1 s er v ic e m o dules.
• Spare service module that can be used to provide redundancy for both bulk-distributed and
line-module-based service modules concurrently (a redundancy back card will be required for a
spare se r v ice mo d ul e p r oviding redu nd ancy fo r li ne module- ba s ed service m o du les).
• No back card required for T1 service modules that use bulk distribution.
• Mix of service modules using bulk distribution with service modules using line modules in the
same shelf.
• Mix of 4-port and 8-port cards, with all 10 slots always available to se rvice modules via either li ne
modules or bulk .
Out of the maximum possible 84 T1 chan nels (3 t im es 28), up to 80 channels can be active at any time.
Any T1 channel in a T3 line can be distributed to any four/eight port on a service module in any slots
5 to 14 without restriction.
2-24
The AX-SRM-3T3 can also be operated in “nonbulk mode” on a port-by-port basis. For a port
configured in nonbulk mode, bulk distribution is disabled and the SRM acts as a AX-SRM-T1/E1
providing BERT and 1:N redundancy functions only.
Figure 2-18 shows an illustration of the AX-SRM-3T3 cards.

Command-Line Interface
The comm an d- li n e i nt erfac e ( CL I) u ses a simp le alp h an umeric term in al an d employs th e c on ce pt o f a
system prompt to which the user types in commands.
The CLI also employs the concept of a user being logged into a particular module (slot) in the Cisco
MGX 8220 shelf, and all commands entered are assumed to apply to that module (slot). In this way the
CLI can be used for managing both the core cards and the service modules.
For security, logging in involves entering a correct preassigned password, which allows the user access
only to comman d s o f a s p ec ifie d privilege level or below.

Configuring and Collecting Statistics
Configur in g statistic s s p eci fies to the she lf w he r e st atistic co u nt er s ar e to be collected. A file is
constructed that lists the statistic counters to be collected and is downloaded into the shelf using TCP/IP
TFTP.
Collec tin g statistic s causes the stat ist ics to b e tr ansferr ed as a data file to the w or k stat io n . T h e
workstation first requests the statistics and the Cisco MGX 8220 shelf responds by uploading the
statistic file to the workstation. A list of statistics counters for each card type is provided in Appendix B,
“Speci ficati on s .”
The method of collecting statistics in Cisco MGX 8220 conforms to the standards employed in IGX,
IPX, and Cisco BPX nod es. CWM (R elease 7. 2 and lat er) supp orts the stan dard TFT P me thod of
configurin g an d co lle cting stat is ti cs and can be u s ed o n th e w or k stat io n th at is att ach ed to the C isco
MGX 8220 shelf for this purpose. CWM provides a convenient and easy-to-use graphical user interface
(GUI) for both configuring the statistics to be collected and actually collecting those statistics from the
Cisco MGX 8220 shelf. Using CWM relieves the user of knowing and constructing the file formats
require d fo r co rr ec tl y t r an sfe rr in g th e s tat ist ics files.
Each type of statistic collected in WAN switching networks is categorized under a major grouping
known by an object type name and an object type number, and minor grouping known as a subtype.
Within the subtype, the statistic has a statistic type number. For example, the statistic “A TM Cell Header
HEC Errors” has an object type name of IPX-ATM, an object type of 2, a subtype of 1, and a statistic
type of 45. This combination of gr oups and type number uniquely identify a particular type of statist ic.
TFTP User Interface
Configuring Statistics
Each Cisco MGX 8220 statistic can be configured individually for collection. To configure statistics,
the work station tr an s f ers a file ( file name = enable.s ta ts ) u sing TFTP to the Cis co M G X 8220 s he lf ,
which specifies those statistic types to be collected. The specified statistics are grouped by object type,
then by ob je ct subt yp e. M ult ipl e obje ct t ype s e ach cont a inin g mu lt ipl e ob je ct subt yp es, e a ch c onta in ing

Collecting Statistics
To collect statistics from the Cisco MGX 8220 shelf, the workstation uses the following TFTP command
to issue a r equest:
• Nodename is the node name given to the Cisco MGX 8220 shelf.
• mmddyyhhmm is the date /time exp re s s ed in G M T.
Upon receipt of this message, the shelf responds with a file containing the collected statistics, as shown
in Table 3-2.

Frame Relay Service Modules (FRSMs)
Frame Relay Ser v ice Modules (FRSMs)
The primary function of the FRSM is to convert between the Frame Relay form atted data and
A TM/AAL5 cell-formatted data. There are two main types of FRSMs, those for T1 or E1 lines and those
for high speed serial lines.
All FRSMs include the following features:
• ForeSight closed-loop rate control and per-VC queuing
• Wire-speed performance on all ports
• SVC and multicast support within Cisco service nodes
• Standard and enhanced LMI management interfaces (Annex A and Annex D)

FRSM Connec t i on Types
FRSMs convert the header format and translate the address for
• Frame Relay port number and DLCI
• ATM-Frame U N I (F U NI ) por t n u mbe r an d frame addre ss o r frame forwar din g p o rt
• ATM Virtual Con n ect io n Id en ti fier (V P I /V C I)
This section describes the connection types that can be configured on the FRSM to perform these
functions.
Frame Relay-to-ATM network interworking (NIW) supports a permanent virtual connection (PVC)
between two Frame Relay users over a Cisco network or a multi-vendor network. The traffic crosses
the network as ATM cells. To specify NIW for a connection, add the connection with a channel type of
networ k in terwor king.
Figure 4-1 shows a BPX 8620 network with network interworking connections.

Frame-based User -to-Net wo r k Interface (FUNI)
All FRSMs support the AT M Frame-based User-to-Network Interface (FUNI). When a frame arrives
from the FUNI interface, the FRSM removes the 2-byte FUNI header and segments the frame into ATM
cells by using AAL5. In the reverse direction, the FRSM assembles ATM cells from the network into a
frame by using AAL5, adds a FUNI header to the frame, and sends it to the FUNI port.

Frame Rela y Access Service Module
The Frame Relay Access Service Module (FRASM) is a two-card set consisting of a FRASM front card
(support in g cha nn eliz ed, T1, 8 p ort), and a n 8T1 ba ck c ard. Up t o te n FR ASM mod ul es ma y b e in sta lle d
in a shelf in slots 5 through 14.
The main function of the FRASM is to allow IBM network devices and mainframes (IBM 3270
terminals communicating with an IBM mainframe) operating under SNA/SDLC or 3270/BSC (binary
synchro nou s) p rot ocol s t o com mun ica te wi th ea ch othe r usin g Fr ame R el ay o v er an ATM networ k. Thi s
is an alternative to the conventional method of using T1, E1, V.35, or X.21 leased lines.
FRASM modules support the following logical connections and protocols:
• PU4 (P hysica l U nit 4) to PU 2 over 32 7 0/ B i s yn c link
Frame Relay Service Modules (FRSMs)
STUN Connections
• PU4 to PU2 over a SNA/SDLC link
• PU2 to PU2 over a SNA/SDLC link
• PU4 to PU4 over a SNA/SDLC link
FRASM modules support the following end-to-end connections on a connection-by-connection basis:
• SNA/SDLC to SNA/SDLC (STUN for Serial TUNnel)
• SNA/SDLC to Frame Relay (BNN for Boundary Network Node)
• 3270/Bisync to 3270/Bisync (BSTUN for Block Serial TUNnel)
STUN, short for Serial TUNnel, is an IBM technique for transmitting SNA (SDLC) traffic over Frame
Relay n e t wo r ks by encap s ul a t in g the SNA fram e s w ithin Frame Relay f r am es using the p r otocol o f
RFC 1490.
There are two methods of achieving this
1. passthrou g h (o r tr an s p aren t)
The pass through method encapsulates the entire SNA data stream including data and control fields
for tran smissi on ov er the Fr ame Rel ay netw ork. In thi s met hod, the Frame Re lay net work i s entirel y

2. local ackn owled g m en t
The local acknowledgment method terminates the SNA traffic at the Frame Relay network interface
and encap su lat e s d at a o n ly, the SNA fr am es a re th en r eco n str u cted at th e o th er en d .
Both passthrough and local acknowledgment methods are supported by the FRAM.
For both m e thods, SNA tr affic rec eived by the FRA SM is converted firs t to a F r ame Relay f or mat and
is further co nverted into cells fo r tran s mission over an ATM network The pr o ces s is th en perform ed in
