Information About the 4-Port ATM ISE Line Card
The 4-Port ATM ISE line cards, which deliver line rate OC-12c/STM-4c or OC-3c/STM-1 bandwidth,
provide enhanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities for high-speed customer aggregation, backbone
connectivity, and peering solutions. These cards perform traffic shaping and per-virtual circuit (VC)
queueing, and support per-VC Modified Deficit Round Robin (MDRR) with per-VC low latency
queueing (LLQ). They also support Any Transport over MPLS (AToM), enhanced traffic policing, and
the ability to configure both AToM VCs and terminated VCs on a single port.
MDRR is implemented on a per-VC basis with up to eight queues per VC, where one of the queues is a
low latency queue (LLQ). Both per-VC Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) and per-VC MDRR
are performed in the hardware.
The 4-Port OC-12c/STM-4c ATM ISE line card provides the Cisco 12000 Series Router with four
622-Mbps ATM interfaces. The 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 ATM ISE line card provides four 155-Mbps ATM
interfaces. The cards communicate with the Cisco 12000 Series Router switch fabric.

How to Perform a Basic Configuration of the 4-Port ATM ISE Line
Card
The 4-port ATM ISE line cards provide the ability to configure Layer 2 AToM VCs as well as Layer 3
terminated VCs. On any individual ATM interface, you can configure both AToM VCs and terminated
VCs as required. The configurations of these are discussed in subsequent sections in this document. This
section provides basic ATM interface configuration information and discusses those features that are
applicable to both AToM VCs and terminated VCs.
Configuring ATM interfaces and virtual circuits is described in the following sections:
• Configuring an ATM Interface, page 5
• Configuring UNI and NNI Cell Support, page 7
• Troubleshooting Tips, page 7
Configuring an ATM Interface
Use the show running-config command to display current port configuration information. On power up,
the interface on a new 4-Port ATM ISE line card is shut down. To enable the interface, you must enter a
no shutdown command in configuration mode.
Default Interface Configuration
When the 4-Port ATM ISE line card is enabled (taken out of shutdown) with no additional configuration
commands applied, the default interface configuration file parameters, described in Tab le 3, are used.

How to Perform a Basic Configuration of the 4-Port ATM ISE Line Card
Configuration Basics
After you verify that the new 4-Port ATM ISE line card is installed correctly, use the configure command
to configure the new interface. Be prepared with the information that you will need, such as the interface
IP address.
The Cisco 12000 Series Router identifies an interface address by its line card slot number and port
number, in the format slot/port. Because each 4-Port ATM ISE line card contains four ATM interfaces,
the port numbers are 0 to 3. For example, the slot/port address of an ATM interface on a 4-Port ATM ISE
line card installed in line card slot 2 is 2/0 to 2/3.
Use the following procedure to create a basic configuration, including enabling an interface and
specifying IP routing. You might also need to enter other configuration subcommands, depending on the
requirements for your system configuration.
(For descriptions of configuration subcommands and the configuration options available, refer to the
appropriate software publications in the “Related Documents” section on page 91.)

Configuring UNI and NNI Cell Support
You can designate that the cell format for an interface be either User Network Interface (UNI) or
Network Node Interface (NNI). The default setting is UNI. Use the atm maxvpi-bits command to
change the maximum VPI range from 0..255 (UNI) to 0..4095 (NNI).
How to Perform a Basic Configuration of the 4-Port ATM ISE Line Card
Change the state of the interface to up and enable the
interface.
Exit configuration mode.
Perform this after completing all desired configuration
commands on the interface or subinterface.
Write the new configuration to memory.
To change the interface setting back to NNI, use the no form of this command: no maxvip-bits 12.
This configuration should be entered before the connection is added.
Troubleshooting Tips

How to Configure Layer 3 Terminated VCs on the 4-Port ATM ISE
Line Card
The following configuration tasks are described in this section:
• Configuring ATM Shaping on Terminated VCs, page 9

• Configuring Quality of Service on Terminated VCs, page 14
• Configuring and Managing VC Bundles, page 28
• Configuring Bridged PVCs, page 35
Configuring Layer 3 Terminated Virtual Circuits
A virtual circuit (VC) is a point-to-point connection between two ATM devices. A VC is established for
each ATM end node with which the router communicates. The characteristics of the VC are established
when it is created and include the following for the 4-Port ATM ISE line cards:
• Quality of service (QoS)
• ATM adaptation layer (AAL) mode
• Encapsulation type (LLC/SNAP, IP MUX, and NLPID)
• Peak and average transmission rates
Permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) configured on the router remain active until the circuit is removed
from the configuration. All virtual circuit characteristics apply to PVCs. When a PVC is configured, all
configuration options are passed to the 4-Port ATM ISE line card. These PVCs are written to the
nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) as part of the configuration and are used when the Cisco IOS image is
reloaded.
When you create a PVC, you create a virtual circuit descriptor (VCD) and attach it to the VPI and VCI.
The VCD tells the card which VPI/VCI to use for a particular packet. The 4-Port ATM ISE line card
requires this feature to manage the packets for transmission. The number chosen for the VCD is
independent of the VPI/VCI used.
A permanent virtual path (PVP) is like a bundle of VCs, transporting all cells with a common VPI, rather
than a specific VPI and VCI.
PVCs are created and configured using the pvc command in interface configuration mode. PVPs are
created and configured using the atm pvp command in interface configuration mode.
The syntax of the pvc command is as follows:
pvc [name] vpi/vci
Cisco IOS Release 12.0(27)S
8
Software Configuration of ATM ISE Line Cards for Cisco 12000 Series Routers
How to Configure Layer 3 Terminated VCs on the 4-Port ATM ISE Line Card
The syntax of the atm pvp command is:
atm pvp vpi
vpi is the ATM network VPI to use for this virtual circuit, in the range of 0 to 255 for UNI or 0 to 4095
for NNI; vci is the ATM network VCI to use for this virtual circuit, in the range of 0 to 655,535.
Troubleshooting Tips
To display information about the connected virtual circuits, use the following commands:
CommandPurpose
Router# show atm pvc
Router# show atm vc
Displays current ATM PVC information.
Displays current ATM VC information.
Configuring ATM Shaping on Terminated VCs
The 4-Port ATM ISE line cards support IP traffic shaping on terminated VCs. The following ATM
shaping options are available:
Restrictions
• Constant bit rate (CBR)—Supports real-time applications that request a static amount of bandwidth
that is continuously available for the duration of the connection. (See Step 5.)
• Real-time variable bit rate (VBR-rt)—Supports real-time applications that have bursty transmission
characteristics. (See Step 6.)
• Non-real-time variable bit rate (VBR-nrt)—Supports non-real-time applications with bursty
transmission characteristics that tolerate high cell delay, but require low cell loss. (See Step 7.)
• Unspecified bit rate (UBR)—Supports non-real-time applications that tolerate both high cell delay
and cell loss on the network. There are no network service-level guarantees for the UBR service
category, and therefore it is a best-effort service. (See Step 8.)
To configure ATM shaping, perform the shaping commands in PVC mode. You should use only one of
the shaping commands in Step 5 through Step 8, depending on the type of shaping to be configured.
CDVT
When traffic shaping is configured on a VC, the cell delay variation (CDV) is set for the VC. This value
will change according to the shaping class defined. The cell delay variation tolerance (CDVT) values are
shown in Table 4.

How to Configure Layer 3 Terminated VCs on the 4-Port ATM ISE Line Card
NoteFor VBR connections in which the sustainable cell rate (SCR) is not equal to the PCR value, the CDVT
is significantly lower.
Decreased VC Throughput
If you configure a VC on a 4-Port OC-12/STM-4 ATM ISE interface with a peak cell rate (PCR) or
sustainable cell rate (SCR) greater than OC-6 (using the ubr, vbr-nrt, vbr-rt, or cbr commands), and
attach a traffic policy with MDRR (configured using the bandwidth command) to the interface for
specified traffic classes, when traffic on the interface from the specified classes is equal to or greater than
the configured PCR or SCR values, frequent queueing and dequeueing changes occur between the
MDRR queues and may cause a decreased VC throughput.
Decreased throughput is more likely to occur when the traffic consist of small packets and when a high
amount of traffic is sent toward the high-priority queue. Such traffic will increase significantly the
frequency of switches between queues, which may cause the nonpriority queues to lose their bandwidth.
Therefore, when configuring a VC to more than OC-6, it is recommended to limit the high priority traffic
using the police command.

Configuring OAM Management on Terminated VCs
OAM may be enabled for PVC or SVC management on terminated VCs. To configure OAM management
for an ATM Layer 3 PVC, perform the following procedure.
Software Configuration of ATM ISE Line Cards for Cisco 12000 Series Routers
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
• Enter your password if prompted.
Enters global configuration mode.
Specify the new ATM subinterface to configure.
Specify an ATM PVC.
Example:
Router(config-subif)# pvc 10/50
Step 5oam-pvc manage [frequency]
Example:
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam-pvc manage
Step 6
oam retry up-count down-count
retry-frequency
Example:
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam retry 3 5 1
Enable OAM management.
(Optional) Specify OAM management parameters for
re-establishing and removing a PVC connection.
Use the up-count argument to specify the number of consecutive
end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell responses that must be
received in order to change a PVC connection state to up. Use the
down-count argument to specify the number of consecutive
end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell responses that are not received
in order to tear down a PVC. Use the retry-frequency argument to
specify the frequency (in seconds) at which end-to-end F5 OAM
loopback cells should be transmitted when a change in
UP/DOWN state is being verified. For example, if a PVC is up
and a loopback cell response is not received after the frequency
(in seconds) specified using the oam-pvc command, then
loopback cells are sent at the retry-frequency to verify whether or
not the PVC is down.

OAM Management
By default, end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell generation is turned off for each PVC. A PVC is
determined as down when any of the following is true on that PVC:
• The router does not receive a loopback reply after a configured number of retries of sending
end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cells.
• The router receives a Virtual Circuit-Alarm Indication Signal (VC-AIS) cell.
How to Configure Layer 3 Terminated VCs on the 4-Port ATM ISE Line Card
The router receives a Virtual Circuit-Remote Detect Indicator (VC-RDI) cell.
A PVC is determined as up when all the following are true on that PVC:
• The router receives a configured number of successive end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell replies.
• The router does not receive VC-AIS cell for 3 seconds.
• The router does not receive VC-RDI cell for 3 seconds.
Note the following regarding OAM management:
• When OAM management is not enabled, loopback (LB) cells received by the PVC are looped back
to the sender, and for any received F4/F5-AIS, F4/F5-RDI cells are transmitted via this PVC, but the
PVC state is not changed.
The 4-Port ATM ISE line card supports OAM management enabled mode for the entire range of VCs
supported, while using the default frequency of 10 seconds on all VCs. The minimum OAM LB cell
frequency of 1 second is currently permitted over no more then 50 PVCs (chassis performance
limitation), and the default interval of 10 seconds is used for the rest of the PVCs.
OAM F5 Continuity Check
The 4-Port ATM ISE line card also provides OAM support for the use of F5 segment and end-to-end
continuity check (CC) cells to detect connectivity failures at the ATM layer. It also generates various
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) notifications when CC cells indicate virtual circuit (VC)
connectivity failure
ATM OAM F5 CC cells provide an in-service tool optimized to detect connectivity problems at the VC
level of the ATM layer. CC cells are sent between a router designated as the source location and a router
designated as the sink location. The local router can be configured as the source, the sink, or both.

Software Configuration of ATM ISE Line Cards for Cisco 12000 Series Routers
How to Configure Layer 3 Terminated VCs on the 4-Port ATM ISE Line Card
The 4-Port ATM ISE line card implements two types of OAM cells: CC cells for fault management and
CC cells for activation and deactivation. Fault management cells detect connectivity failures. Activation
and deactivation cells initiate the activation or deactivation of continuity checking.
Configuring Quality of Service on Terminated VCs
Quality of Service (QoS) on terminated VCs is configured using the Modular QoS CLI (MQC). MQC
allows users to create traffic policies and attach these policies to interfaces. A traffic policy contains a
traffic class and one or more QoS features. A traffic class is used to classify traffic, and the QoS features
in the traffic policy determine how to treat the classified traffic.
To configure and enable QoS on terminated VCs, you must define a traffic class, create a traffic policy,
and attach this traffic policy to the PVC. See the “Configuring Modular QoS CLI” section on page 84
for detailed instructions on how to complete these tasks.
The following tasks use the MQC to configure QoS on terminated VCs:
• Configuring Traffic Policing, page 14
• Configuring a Per-VC Queue Limit, page 16
• Configuring Per-VC WRED, page 18

Configuring Traffic Policing
This task describes how to configure traffic policing using the MQC. Traffic policing can be configured
for either ingress or egress traffic.
This task illustrates the use of the match access-group command. For information on other match
options, refer to the “Configuring Modular QoS CLI” section on page 84.
When traffic policing is configured, packets coming into interface are evaluated by the token bucket
algorithm to determine whether they conform to or exceed the specified parameters. The
conform-action, exceed-action, and violate-action parameters in the police command determine what
is done with the packets.
The command syntax of the police command allows you to specify the action to be taken on a packet
when you enable the action keyword. The actions resulting from the keyword choices are listed in
Table 5.

SUMMARY STEPS
Use this task to configure DSCP-based or precedence-based WRED on a VC. WRED can be configured
on both ingress or egress queues, where ingress queues are defined in terms of packets and egress queues
are defined in terms of cells.
• Random-detect cannot be configured on a class that has priority configured.
• No more than three different Random Early Detection (RED) profiles can be configured on one class
of service (COS) queue.
For precedence-based WRED use Step 7; for DSCP-based WRED use Step 8 or Step 9.
Using egress MDRR, the 4-Port ATM ISE line card supports up to eight queues for classes of traffic per
VC. One of the queues is always reserved for a special class called class-default. Up to seven of the
classes are normal queues, including the class-default queue. The eighth class is always a low latency
queue.
The class, class-default, is always configured, and it consumes one of the eight queues. If not configured
explicitly, it is configured implicitly. When the bandwidth command is used, at least 1 percent of traffic
must be reserved for the class-default queue. All packets that do not match any user-defined class on the
policy map are considered to belong to class-default, and therefore enter the default queue.
The low latency queue, or priority queue, is also always created. All traffic sourced from the router
(including ping traffic and multicast traffic) uses this queue, regardless of classification.
Bandwidth percentages are converted into weights in units of ATM cells. The weights are internally
proportioned such that the bandwidth is divided accurately among VCs.
The following are recommendations for configuring per-VC MDRR on the 4-Port ATM ISE line card:
• Set the bandwidth to be at least 10 percent in each class. The default class, class-default, should also
have at least 10 percent of the bandwidth allocation; therefore, you should ensure that the bandwidth
allocated to all configured classes is less that 90 percent.
Cisco IOS Release 12.0(27)S
20
Software Configuration of ATM ISE Line Cards for Cisco 12000 Series Routers
• Set the MTU as low as possible on each subinterface, using the ip mtu command, while still
avoiding fragmentation. Fragmentation causes extreme performance degradation, because it is done
in the slow path. Do not decrease the MTU to the point where it causes fragmentation.
NoteChanging MTU settings may cause all VCs on the interface or subinterface to be torn down and
set back up.
If none of the classes is a priority class, the maximum number of classes that can be configured with the
bandwidth command, excluding the class-default class, is six. When class-default is not specified, at
least 1 percent must be allocated to this class.
If priority is not specified on any class, then any form of the bandwidth command can be used. If the
priority command is configured without a police command (drop exceed-action), then the only form of
the bandwidth command that is allowed on the other classes in the policy map is the bandwidth
remaining command. If a police command is used on the priority queue, then all forms of the
bandwidth commands are allowed.

Configuring Per-VC MDRR and Policed Low Latency Queueing
If the police command is used with the exceed-action set to drop on the priority queue, then the
bandwidth command can be used with either a percent or kbps specified.
The following example uses the bandwidth percent command to guarantee bandwidth to nonpriority
classes. Twenty percent of the VC rate is guaranteed to class2.
Router(config)# policy-map MDRR-POLICE-LLQ
Router(config-pmap)# class class1
Router(config-pmap-c)# priority
Router(config-pmap-c)# police 64000000 conform-action transmit exceed drop
Router(config-pmap-c)# class class2
Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 20
Router(config-pmap-c)# end
Router#
The next example uses the bandwidth remaining percent command, and specifies that 20 percent of
the remaining bandwidth is guaranteed to class2.
Router(config)# policy-map MDRR-POLICE-LLQ
Router(config-pmap)# class class1
Router(config-pmap-c)# priority
Router(config-pmap-c)# police 64000000 conform-action transmit exceed drop
Router(config-pmap-c)# class class2
Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth remaining percent 20
Router(config-pmap-c)# end
Router#
After the policy map has been created, configure it on the VC using the service-policy command.

Following are examples of configuring the IP DSCP value and the ATM CLP bit:
• Configuring the IP DSCP Value, page 26
• Configuring the ATM CLP Bit on a Per-Queue Basis with Per-VC MDRR, page 26
• Configuring the ATM CLP Bit on Class-Default Queue with Per-VC MDRR, page 26
• Configuring the ATM CLP Bit by Traffic Policing, page 27
Configuring the IP DSCP Value
This example marks packets of class1 by setting the IP differentiated services code point (DSCP):
Router(config)# policy-map QOS-SET
Router(config-pmap)# class class1
Router(config-pmap-c)# set ip dscp 63
Router(config-pmap-c)# class class2
Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 30
Router(config-pmap-c)# exit
Router(config-pmap)#
In the above example, class1 is configured with a nonqueueing feature. Traffic that is matched to class1
is considered to belong to this class for purposes of the nonqueueing feature, but for purposes of
queueing, the packet will go into the default queue.
After the policy map has been created, configure it on the VC using the service-policy command.

How to Configure Layer 3 Terminated VCs on the 4-Port ATM ISE Line Card
Configuring and Managing VC Bundles
See the following sections for configuration tasks for the VC bundle management feature. Each task in
the list is identified as either required or optional.
• Creating a VC Bundle, page 28
• Applying Bundle-Level Parameters, page 28
• Committing a VC to a Bundle, page 30
• Applying Parameters to Individual VCs, page 30
• VC Bundle Examples, page 32
• Troubleshooting Tips, page 34
Creating a VC Bundle
To create a bundle and enter bundle configuration mode, in which you can assign attributes and
parameters to the bundle and all its member VCs, use the following command in subinterface
configuration mode:
Software Configuration of ATM ISE Line Cards for Cisco 12000 Series Routers
CommandPurpose
Router (config-subif)# bundlebundle-name
Creates the VC bundle specified as bundle-name and enters
bundle configuration mode.
Applying Bundle-Level Parameters
Bundle-level parameters can be applied either by assigning VC classes or by directly applying them to
the bundle.
Parameters applied through a VC class assigned to the bundle are superseded by those applied at the
bundle level. Bundle-level parameters are superseded by parameters applied to an individual VC.
The following sections describe applying bundle-level parameters:
• Configuring Bundle-Level Parameters, page 28
• Configuring VC Class Parameters to Apply to a Bundle, page 29
• Attaching a VC Class to a Bundle, page 29
Configuring Bundle-Level Parameters
Configuring bundle-level parameters is optional if a class is attached to the bundle to configure it.
To configure parameters that apply to the bundle and all its members, use the following commands in
bundle configuration mode, as needed:
Enables broadcast forwarding for all VC bundle members.
Enables ILMI management.
Configures the VC bundle parameters related to OAM
management.
Enables end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell generation and OAM
management for all VCs in the bundle.
Configuring VC Class Parameters to Apply to a Bundle
Use of a VC class allows you to configure a bundle by applying multiple attributes to it at one time
because you apply the class itself to the bundle. Use of a VC class allows you to generalize a parameter
across all VCs, after which (for some parameters) you can modify that parameter for individual VCs.
(See the “Applying Parameters to Individual VCs” section on page 30 for more information.)
To configure a VC class to contain commands that configure VC members of a bundle when the class is
applied to that bundle, use the following command in vc-class configuration mode. To enter vc-class
configuration mode, use the vc-class atm command.
Enables end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell generation and OAM
management for all VCs in the bundle.
In addition to the oam-bundle command, you can add the following commands to a VC class to be used
to configure a bundle: bump, precedence, mpls experimental, and protect commands. For more
information about these commands, refer to the ATM VC Bundle Management on Cisco 12000 Series
8-Port OC_3 STM-1 ATM Line Cards document.
Attaching a VC Class to a Bundle
To attach a preconfigured VC class containing bundle-level configuration commands to a bundle, use the
following command in bundle configuration mode:
CommandPurpose
Router(config-if-atm-bundle)# class-bundle
vc-class-name
Configures a bundle with the bundle-level commands contained
in the specified VC class.
Parameters set through bundle-level commands contained in the VC class are applied to the bundle and
all its VC members. Bundle-level parameters applied through commands configured directly on the
bundle supersede those applied through a VC class.
Note that some bundle-level parameters applied through a VC class or directly to the bundle can be
superseded by commands that you directly apply to individual VCs in bundle-vc configuration mode.
For more information on bundle-vc configuration mode, see “Committing a VC to a Bundle” in the
following section.
Cisco IOS Release 12.0(27)S
29
Software Configuration of ATM ISE Line Cards for Cisco 12000 Series Routers
How to Configure Layer 3 Terminated VCs on the 4-Port ATM ISE Line Card
Committing a VC to a Bundle
To add a VC to an existing bundle and enter bundle-vc configuration mode, use the following command
in bundle configuration mode:
Adds the specified VC to the bundle and enters bundle-vc
configuration mode to configure the specified VC bundle
member.
For information on how to create a bundle and configure it, see the “Creating a VC Bundle” section on
page 28 and the “Applying Bundle-Level Parameters” section on page 28.
Applying Parameters to Individual VCs
Parameters can be applied to individual VCs either by using VC classes or by directly applying them to
the bundle members.
Parameters applied to an individual VC supersede bundle-level parameters. Parameters applied directly
to a VC take precedence over the same parameters applied within a class to the VC at the bundle-vc
configuration level.
The following should be noted regarding parameters applied to individual VCs:
• Policing in a policy-map is performed on the aggregate traffic of the bundle. In other words, policing
is not per VC, but rather for the whole subinterface.
• MDRR defined using the bandwidth command is applied to each VC separately. In other words, the
weight of the MDRR will be relative to the traffic passing on each VC and not relative to the traffic
passing on the bundle.
The following sections describe applying parameters to individual VCs:
• Configuring a VC Bundle Member Directly, page 30
• Configuring VC Class Parameters to Apply to a VC Bundle Member, page 31
• Applying a VC Class to a Discrete VC Bundle Member, page 32
• Configuring a VC Not to Accept Bumped Traffic, page 32
Configuring a VC Bundle Member Directly
Configuring VC bundle members directly is optional if a VC class is attached to the bundle member.
To configure an individual VC bundle member directly, use the following commands in bundle-vc
configuration mode:
