Safety Warnings and Information
Warr anty Warnings
!
WARNING:
When inserting modules into the chassis, slide them gently, not forcefully. Excessive force may cause the modules to be seated improperly in
the chassis, and result in possible damage to the module or the chassis.
Install or remove modules one at a time. Doing this aids in preventing
the PSAX system from indicating any erroneous failure messages, and
allows the PSAX system time to reinitialize and display the accurate configuration of the module that is inserted.
!
CAUTION:
Modifying or tampering with PSAX chassis components may void your
warranty. Any modification to this equipment not expressly authorized
by Lucent Technologies may void your granted authority to operate such
equipment.
!
CAUTION:
Shipping the chassis with removable I/O, server, or CPU modules
installed may cause damage to the chassis and the modules. Damage to
any of the components in the system resulting from shipping the chassis
with removable modules installed will void your warranty.
Safety Warnings and Information
When installing and operating the Enhanced Router module, follow the
safety guidelines provided in the PacketStar
accompanies this product, to help prevent serious personal injury and damage to the Enhanced Router module. Please read all warnings and instructions supplied before beginning installation or configuration of this module.

Traffic Flow
The Enhanced Router module is an edge device that borders an IP network
and an ATM core network. Ingress IP traffic (Figure 2-2) from a given interface is forwarded at the edge device. Ingress IP datagrams may be for warded
to other edge devices connected to the ATM core, or they may be forwarded
to another interface on the same edge device. Egress ATM traffic is reassembled into IP datagrams and is forwarded in the same manner as ingress IP
traffic. A key PSAX differentiator using the Enhanced Router module is its
ability to support service quality through the use of ATM service-level mapping.

Operating Modes of the Enhanced Router Module Module
The Enhanced Router module may be configured from the ERM VPN Table
window to operate in one of two modes: Single-Instance or Multi-Instance.
• The Single-Instance mode allows only one VPN to be created on the module. In the Single-Instance mode, mapping of physical network size to the
module’s physical resources is greatly simplified.
• The Multi-Instance mode allows one or more VPNs to be created on the
module. When using the Enhanced Router module in the Multi-Instance
operating mode, you must understan d the physi cal network char acteris tics
to ensure that the module’s physical resources can support the desired
number of VPNs.

IP Application in the Multiservice Media Gateway
An IP interface cons ists o f an IP addres s and an IP netw ork mas k. To pass traffic, each IP interface must be associated with at least one traffic-bearing connection.
Each VPN will likely be associated with multiple IP interfaces and their corresponding connections. As IP datagrams arrive on a given IP interface, an IP
routing decision is made and the appropriate outgoing IP interface is determined. The IP datagram is then sent out on the selected IP interface.
Each VPN may be configured to run network routing protocols and may als o
have user-configured static routes. The resulting routing table and configuration is not shared with any other VPN.
Module Operation
Chapter 2 Module Description
Software Features
The Enhanced Router module is installed in any PSAX chassis slot intended
to contain an I/O or server module. If you are installing the module in a
newly installed PSAX chassis, be sure to follow your facility site plan for placing this module in the correct location in the chassis.
The Enhanced Router module does not interoperate with the discontinued
optical modules associated with AQueMan or Traffic Shaping:
• 1-Port OC-3c Single-Mode with AQueMan
• 1-Port OC-3c Multimode with AQueMan
• 1-Port OC-3c Single-Mode with Traffic Shaping
• 1-Port OC-3c Multimode with AQueMan
• 1-Port STM-1 Single-Mode with AQueMan
• 1-Port STM-1 Multimode with AQueMan
• 1-Port STM-1 Single-Mode with Traffic Shaping
• 1-Port STM-1 Multimode with AQueMan
The operating mode of an Enhanced Router module is stored in its non-volatile RAM; thus, it will always boot-up in that mode until the mode is explicitly changed. The mode of an Enhanced Router module cannot be changed if
it is inserted in a slot that has an existing IP VPN configuration. To change the
operating mode, the module must be placed in a slot with no existing VPN
configurations; or, any existing VPN configuration must first be deleted.
Changing the mode of a module will cause the module to reboot.
The operating mode of an Enhanced Router module will automatically be
changed as determined by the existing VPN configuration for a given slot. For
example, if an Enhanced Router module is placed in a slot that is configured
with VPNs in the Multi-Instance mode, the PSAX system software will set the

such, when an Enhanced Router module is inserted, if necessary, it may
immediately reboot as it switches operating modes.
Note: The Multi-Instance mode is not supported on the Enhanced Router
module in Release 9.1.0. Do not perform configurations with the
Enhanced Router module in Multi-Instance mode.
To change the operating mode on the Enhanced Router module, see
Chapter 3.
Enhanced Router Database Conversion
In Release 9.1.0, the Enhanced Router module suppor ts the Enhanced
Router Database Conversion feature. This feature allows the database and
configuration files of a Release 8.1.5 or Release 9.0.0 Enhanced Router module to be preserved after a CPU upgrade to Release 9.1.0. However, DHCP
configurations made in Multi-Instance mode are not supported by this feature.
Enhanced Router-to-ATM OAM Interworking
OAM support is provided by bidirectional in-band F4 and F5 OAM cells flowing at the ATM layer for the VPC and VCC levels, respectively. Where a service provider chooses to use F4 and F5 OAM, they can operate and maintain
the physical layer and the ATM layer aspects of broadband networks, regulating permanent, semipermanent, and switched virtual circuits. Following the
same physical and logical route as the user payload cells, these cells are used
primarily to monitor and manage faults and performance, and to check continuity.
Enhanced Router-to-ATM Interworking complies with ITU-T I.610 requirements for the ATM connection to the Enhanced Router module. The traff ic
carried in this connection is Bridge-to-ATM VCC PVC. The OAM procedures
supported include continuity check, loop back, and AIS/RDI.
Enhanced Router-to-ATM Interworking is enabled when an ATM interface is
virtually connected to the Enhanced Router module. When the Enhanced
Router module receives OAM AIS or RDI cells, the associated connection will
be taken out of service. When failure recovers, the Enhanced Route r connection will come back into service. These changes will be reflected in the routing tables.
Class of Service
The class of service (CoS) feature allows the Enhanced Router module to
queue packets differently based on the following classification schemes:
DSCP (diffserv), subchannel, and fixed. The supported classification schemes
in Release 9.1.0 are fixed, subchannel, and DSCP. This feature is supported
on bridge and ATM (PVC only) IP interfaces.
PacketStar® PSAX Enhanced Router Module User Guide, Issue 1 Release 9.1.0
2-6 255-700-614
Page 39
Chapter 2 Module Description
Software Features
Classification is done on the ingress, and is specified at the connection level.
Each connection in an IP interface is configu red with the r ange of C oS values
that it supports. For example, VCC 1= CoS 1–3, VCC 2= CoS 4–5, VCC 3=
CoS 6. After the classification process, an IP packet is assigned a single CoS
value. The IP packet is ready to be forwarded.
Capacity of
Up to 16 classification tables may be created per VPN.
Classification Tables
DSCP (Diffserv)
Classification
In the DSCP classifi cation scheme, p ackets are cl assified based on the va lue of
the DSCP bits in the IP he ader. You can specify whi ch DiffS erv mappi ng table
to use on the Enhanced Router Class Rule Table window to map six bits in
DiffServ to a CoS value of 1–6.
Subchannel Classification
In the subchannel classification scheme, packets are classified based on the
incoming connection (also known as a subchann el) of an A TM or frame relay
IP interface. The connection corresponds to a Connection ID on an ATM or
frame relay IP interface. This classification is only supported when the adjacent router is another PSAX system.
Fixed Classification In the fixed classification scheme, all packets arriving on an IP interface are
assigned the color specified on the Enhanced Router IP Interface Configuration window.
For fixed classification, the information is tied to the interface and a fixed
color value is given to the IP interface. All packets arriving to that interface
are given the same color. For subchannel and DSCP classification schemes,
you must create a classification table. See Table 2-1.

IP Interface and Connection Operations
When an IP interface is brought into service, it should be able to carry traffic
of all colors. If not, the interface will not be operationally brought into service. For example, if a connection in an interface is configured to carry traffic
of colors 1,2, and 3, then the i nte rfa c e will no t be bro ug ht i nto ser vic e . More
connections should be created such that they can all carry traffic of colors 4,
5, and 6.
Note: Two connections cannot carry traffic of same color.
If any of the connections go down, the interface is either operationally taken
out of service until it is restored, or torn down and another one created so
that it fulfills the above conditions. To change any of the classification parameters, the existing IP interface should be deleted and a new interface with
new classification parameter values should be created.

Virtual Routing
The six bits in DiffServ are mapped into CoS values of 1–6.
Another key differentiator using the Enhanced Router mo dule in Multi-VPN
mode is the virtual router aspect of the module (see Figure 2-3). The virtual
routing capability arises from its ability to form groupings of IP interfaces that
can combine to act a s separa te IP netw orks relati ve to so me other gr ouping of
IP interfaces on the same device. An IP interface may be defined in a variety
of ways, depending upon physical interface type. Each grouping of IP interfaces that belongs to a user will behave as the interfaces belonging to a standard IP router. The IP addresses assigned to th e IP interfaces (as well as the
underlying IP traffic through each module) may have overlapping address
space without the concern of crosstalk from one VPN to the next.

This allows one IP address to be assigned to the physical interface or router
with multiple virtual circuits, without having to number each virtual circuit
individually. This feature is configurable from the Enhanced Router IP Interface Configuration window. RIP and static routes are supported on unnum-

Figure 2-5. Unnumbered Interfaces Example
When an unnumbered interface is created, it becomes the router ID, and is
treated as a logical int erface. A second unnumb ered interface is a utomatically
created as a subset of this router ID. Subsequent unnumbered interfaces can
be created for this router ID by using the same IP address as the router ID,
and a different neighbor IP address for each unnumbered interface.
All IP interfaces that have the same IP interface address (or router ID) belong
to the same unnumbered interface group. For unnumbered interfaces, only
the class-based mask is allowed.
The peer IP address is allowed to be on a different subnet than the local IP
address. For unnumbered interfaces, the RI P interface table will display the
IP address in the form 0.0.0.n where n is a 16-bit integer specifying the interface index of that unnumbered interface.
All IP interfaces using the same unnumbered interface group will have the
same IP Interface Addr value but the Neighbor IpAddr values will be different. DHCP Relay and class of service features are not supported on unnumbered interfaces. Unnumbered interfaces are only supported in ATM and
frame relay connections.

RIP Version 2 Features
RIP version 2 adds additional functionality to RIP version 1, such as external
route tags, subnet masks, next hop router addresses, authentication, and
multicasting.
Note: RIP is intended to operate as an interior gateway protocol within a
RIP version 2 allows you to divide networks to a further extent than the traditional subnet classes (Class A, B, and C) with RIP version 1. It also allows
you to run different masks on different subnets, which is not possible when
you use RIP version 1. RIP version 2 also enables the use of authentication
and multicasting.
Note: If you want to use static or interface routes with variable masks by

relatively small network with a longest path of 15 hops. RIP uses
fixed metrics to compare alte rnative routes . It is not appropriate for
situations where routes need to be chosen based on real-time
parameters such a measured delay, reliability, or load. The obvious
extensions to allow metrics of this type are likely to introduce
instabilities that the protocol is not designed to handle.
way of RIP, you should use RIP version 2. If you use RIP version 1
and also have interface or static routes with variable masks, aggregation problems may result.
Authentication Optionally, you can assign an authentication password to an IP interface for
maximum security. An authentication password is essential to prevent those
who cannot directly access the networ k f rom sending b ogus routing information into the routers. The password must be ASCII text.
If the router is not configured to authenticate RIP version 2 messages, then
RIP version 1 and unauthenticated RIP version 2 messages will be accepted,
and authenticated RIP version 2 messages will be discarded. RIP version 1
messages will be ignored when authentication is in use. However, authentication does not prevent RIP version 1 routers from seeing RIP version 2 messages. To prevent other RIP version 1 routers from seeing RIP version 2 messages, you must use multicasting.
Multicasting Multicasting reduces load on hosts not using RIP version 2 messages. Multi-
casting also allows RIP version 2 routers to share information that RIP version 1 routers cannot access.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
ARP is a TCP/IP protocol used to map an IP address into a physical Ethernet
MAC address. A host wishing to obtain a physical address broadcasts an ARP
request onto the TCP/IP network. The host on the network that has the IP
address in the request then replies with its physical hardware address.
Reverse ARP (RARP) can be used by a host to discover its IP address. In this
case, the host broadcasts its physical address and a RARP server replies with
the host’s IP address.
PacketStar® PSAX Enhanced Router Module User Guide, Issue1 Release9.1.0
255-700-614 2-11
Page 44
Chapter 2 Module Description
Software Features
ARP functionality is supported for all interface types that are configured to
carry bridged Ethernet traffic. You may specify a MAC address or allow a
MAC address to be randomly selected from an available pool pre-programmed into the Enhanced Router module.
Inverse ARP is similar to ARP, but is used to map IP addresses to ATM end
addresses. ATM interfaces associated with the Enhanced Router module will
respond to inverse ARP requests.
Static Routing
Static IP Routing Overview
Static routing provides a means of explicitly defining the next hop from a
router for a particular destination. A router that supports a dynamic routing
protocol must allow static IP routes to be defined with any metric valid for
the routing protocol used. You can specify whether or not to redistribute all
static IP routes on the module by enabling the RIP Redistribute Static field on
the Enhanced Router VPN Configuration window.
In the typical case, the destination of a static route can be either a network or
a host address. A default route can be created by setting the destination and
mask to zero.
Static IP routes are associated with a specific IP interface and a specific service
type belonging to that interface. Thus, before a static route can be defined,
the intended IP interface and connection must first exist. When specifying a
static route, the user must provide the destination IP address and netmask.
The destination address and mask may be 0.0.0.0 which effectively defines a
default route. If the destination is not 0.0.0.0, strict address checking is performed. You can configure static IP routes with duplicate destination address
or mask pairs and service types: as long as the next hop values and metric
values are different, two static IP routes to the same destination address or
destination mask can be configured. The route with the lowest cost will be
displayed in the Enhanced Router IP Route Table window. If the lower-cost
route is removed due to deletion or a link failure, the higher-cost route will
replace the lower- cost route in the Enhanced Router IP Route Table window.
Yo u must specify a gateway address on the Enhanced Router IP Route Table
window. The gateway address must be a remote address on the same network as the IP interface or the IP interface address (for interface-routing
capabilities).
Static IP routes are not dynamic, so it is recommended that you only use
static IP routes for routers that do not use RIP, or for routers that use RIP but
do not have an authentication password assigned to them. Otherwise, you
may have to manually edit the static route according to changes in your network configuration. RIP routes will dynamically change according to changes
in the network, without manual intervention.
IP Route Table The Enhanced Router IP Route Table window contains lists of internet
addresses and their corresponding locations in the network, and displays the
routes that have been learned from advertisements received through VPNs,
or entered by applying static IP routes. This information can be used when
troubleshooting routing problems.

IP Filtering
Chapter 2 Module Description
Software Features
A router connected to a network must be able to identify which interface is
to be used to reach every other connected end system. Routers near the center of a network generally have very large routing tables, those near the
edges have smaller tables. The destination IP address will be used to route the
packet out to the appropriate connection.
Routing lookups are based on longest mat ch on the ma sk. Host routes have a
mask of all 1s, and therefore have priority over all other routes. Otherwise,
no other route type (static, interface, RIP) takes precedence over another.
The displayed output of the Enhanced Router IP Route Table window does
not infer any internal organizational structure within the internal memory of
the module.
IP Filtering on the Enhanced Router module module involves a packet filter
that contains rules describing packets, and actions to take on those packets
that match the description of the filter. Filter rules cause the module to take
an action (such as forward or drop) on the packets that match the rules. The
packets come from the network, are processed by the module, and then, if
the packet is determined to be passed, sent out of the module to the correct
interface. Packets that are dropped due to filtering are dropped silently.
IP Filtering works by dropping or passing packets per the rules you set on the
Enhanced Router Filter Rule Configuration window (for instructions and
field descriptions, see Chapter 3 if using the console, or Chapter 5 if using the
AQueView EMS). The value in the Filter Rule Id field indicates the priority of
the filter rules (that is, the order in which the rules will be processed). The
lower the rule number, the higher the priority for processing. Refer to
Figure 2-6 for this discussion.
Figure 2-6. Sample of Filter Rules Configured on an Enhanced Router Module
PacketStar® PSAX Enhanced Router Module User Guide, Issue1 Release9.1.0
255-700-614 2-13
Page 46
Chapter 2 Module Description
Enhanced Router Module Applications
In the example shown in Figure 2-6, if a packet matches Rule 1, then it is
dropped. The Enhanced Router module module will not check any other
rules in this case, because Rule 1 matched the packet.
If a packet does not match Rule 1, then the module checks Rule 5. If a packet
matches Rule 5, the packet is passed. The module will not check any other
rules, even if Rule 10 may have also matched the packet (in the case of Rule
10, the module would drop the packet).
If neither Rule 1 nor 5 matched the packet, the module checks Rule 10. Likewise all rules are checked, and if no rules are matched, the packet is passed.
The default rule will always be the last rule to be applied when none of the
preceding rules is ever matched.
If you want a default action of Drop, insert a rule with a maximum value in
the Filter Rule Id field (for example, 65535), change all the numeric field values on the Enhanced Router Filter Rule Configuration window to their
default values, and set the Filter Pass Flag field to Drop. This configuration
will ensure that the default rule is to drop the packet. If you want the default
rule to pass the packet, select the value Pass.
Enhanced Router Module Applications
1xEVDO Applications
Release 9.1.0 of the Enhanced Router module introduces the 1xEVDO over
ATM application (not to be confused with the 1xEVDO application that was
introduced in Release 8.1.5). This application provides a scalable wireless hub
solution that includes layer 2 aggregation of 1xEVDO interfaces without
routing. The PSAX system can be use d in the 1xEVD O appli cation wi th a basestation or any router that works with Cisco HDLC encapsulation.
T o enable the 1xEVDO app lication, you must co nfigure an HDL C connect ion
and specify HDLC in the Traffic Type field (see Chapters 4 and 6). To enable
the 1xEVDO over ATM application, you must configure an ATM connection
and specify HDLC in the Traffic Type field (see Chapters 4 and 6). The
1xEVDO applications are not supported when RIP, OSPF, unnumbered interfaces, or class of service is enabled on an IP interface.
Figure 2-7 displays a 1xEVDO backhaul application with a PSAX 4500 or
PSAX 2300 system installed with 24-Port High-Density DS1 and 21-Port
High-Density E1 modules. Routing is done using static routes. This application has the ability to configure up to 64 DHCP servers addresses in the
Enhanced Router module. Each IP interface can be associated with its own
primary and backup DHCP servers.

Overview of This Chapter
This chapter describes how to do the following:
~ Configure various components of the Enhanced Router module:
• VPNs
• IP interfaces
• IP filter rules
• static IP route s
• ARP
• class of service parameters
~ View various display-only components of the Enhanced Router module:
• ICMP statistics
• IP interface statistics
• RIP interfaces
• IP addresses
~ And how to:
• Change the operating mode of the module
• Save your configuration
Before You Begin
Be sure you have done the following first before beginning configuration of
the Enhanced Router module:
• Set the values to configure your basic system (see the appropriate Packet-
®
PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway User Guide)
Star
• Set the values to configure the Stratum 3–4 module (see the appropriate

Configuring the Module
You must first configure the Enhanced Router module before you can s et up
connections that use the features of the module. Before configuring a VPN,
the appropriate physical I/O interfaces must first be configured through the
corresponding menu beginning from the Equipment Configuration window.

Chapter 3 Configuring VPNs Using the Console Interface
Configuring the Module
Hierarchy of the Enhanced Router Configuration
You must configure the Enhanced Router module in a hierarchy of three
major tasks (see Figure 3-1):
1. Configure a VPN (see ”Configuring VPNs” on page 3-5).
2. Configure IP interfaces within the given VPN (see ”Configuring IP Interfaces” on page 3-19).
Note: The interface numbers you choose in step 2 may be repeated when
configuring the other VPNs, but the interface number must be
unique within the VPN that it is configured. The Enhanced Router
module does not allow two interfaces on the same VPN to exist on
the same subnetwork.
3. Configure connections within the given interface (see Chapter 4).
Note: The connection numbers you choose in step 3 may be repeated
when configuring the subsequent VPNs (and the corresponding
interfaces within them).

Note: In addition to assigning interfaces, you may define static IP routes
(see “Configuring Static IP Routes” on page 3-46).

Configuring VPNs
Bringing VPNs Into and Out of Service
A VPN may be taken out of service or brought into service at any time by
using the commands on the Enhanced Router VPN Configuration window.
The VPN may not be brought into or out of service if the given VPN (or any
other VPN configured on a Enhanced Router module in the Multi-Instance
operating mode) is currently processing a user-initiated administrative command (the selection of a command on a configuration window). Under most
circumstances, this is not noticeable. However, when a VPN has several thousand configured interfaces, it may take several moments for the system software to issue the out-of-service command for each interface. During this
time, other administrative operations (possibly on other VPNs) cannot be
performed or processed.
The VPN must be administratively out-of-service prior to deletion. If only
operationally out of service, you must take the VPN administratively out-ofservice prior to deleting it.
Note: The Multi-Instance mode is not supported on the Enhanced Router
module in Release 9.1.0. Do not perform configurations with the
Enhanced Router module in Multi-Instance mode.
Deleting VPNs
Before deleting a VPN, it must first be taken out of service. The Delete command may be rejected if the preceeding out-of-service requests have not all
been issued.

Configuring IP Interfaces
An IP interface identifies one of the VPN’s locally attached networks, and
associates an IP interface address with the network. By creating an IP interface, a route is automatically created in the IP route table of the VPN. When
configuring an IP interface, it is possible to assign connections corresponding
to a specific traffic treatment.
Note: You must bring the parent VPN into service before you can add an
IP interface.
