Passport 8250

The Passport 8250 is an Integrated Access MUX, a rugged,high-densityunit that provides a seamless bridge between traditional voice networks and ATM networks. The Passport 8250 multiplexes TDM trafﬁc - voice, video, IP, frame relay, X.25, and SNA - on DS-1/E1 trunks to OC-3c/STM-1 ﬁber trunks (ATM over SONET/SDH). Using ATM Forum AAL1 circuit emulationstandards,traditionalvoice networktrafﬁc(dial-up Internet access, modem data trafﬁc, telephony, and more) is seamlessly transported over the efﬁcient, high-bandwidth ATM network. Deployed at either the service provider setting or customer premises (campus,apartment building, or ofﬁce center, for example), the high-density unit supports up to 48 DS-1/E1 ports, up to 336 DS-1s/E1s in a single frame.

241-5101-201 R2.2

Accessing the CLI

The Passport 8250 deviceisshippedwiththeCLIsoftware installed. Youcan access the CLI from a terminalemulation devicethat is directly connected to the Passport 8250 device, provided you are using a standard terminal emultation software application. You can usethelocal host to directly access the CLI before the Passport 8250 device is connected to the network.

You can also access the CLI from a terminal emulation device that is connected to the same LAN segment or different LAN segment as the Passport 8250 device, provided the Passport 8250 device already has an Internetprotocol(IP)address. You canuseaTelnetsessionto remotely access the CLIbyenteringthe IP address of the Passport8250device and Telnetport 23 telnet.

CLI priority

The CLI supports one CLI session at atimeand remote access to the CLI has priority over direct access to the CLI. When a remote host overrides a CLI session accessed from the local host, the local host is notiﬁed of the telnet session to the CLIandtheCLIsessionishaulted until the telnet session to the CLI is done.

Chapter 2 Getting started with the CLI 23

Logging into the CLI

The CLI sessions, Telnet sessions, and ﬁle transfer protocol (FTP) sessions use the same username and password. The username is permanently set to Admin and the password needs to be set the ﬁrst time you log into the CLI. To set the password, log into the CLI for the ﬁrst time using the local host. After this is done, you can Telnet to theCLI and FTP to the ﬂash ﬁle system.

Note: If you forget the password, contact your Nortel Networks representative to reset the password.

Procedure

1 If the username prompt is not displayed, press the return key. 2 At the username prompt, enter admin:

admin

3 At thepasswordprompt, enter a password between 8and 12 characters

in length.

• Command is the type of activity being performed.

— The command can be an abreviation for the activity. For example,

portconﬁg is an abbreviation for port conﬁguration.

— A command can have more than one action. For example, you can

use the bootconﬁg command to display, and conﬁgure boot

parameters.

Passport 8250 Command Line Interface Guide R2.2

30 Chapter 2 Getting started with the CLI

• Mandatory parameter is information that is required to complete the

command.

• Optional parameter is information that is required to perform a speciﬁc

action or information that is not required to complete the command. — An optional parameter is identiﬁed by square brackets.

For example

bootconfig [set]

where

bootconfig is the command to conﬁgure the boot parameters. [set] is an optional parameter to modify the boot parameters.

For details on the conventions used in this document, see “Conventions” (page 12).

Abbreviations

The CLI command recognizes partial commands and parameters. Type only as many characters as is necessary to uniquely identify the command or parameter. For example, type clock for the clockconﬁg command.

Creating connections

You can create unstructured connections, structured Basic connections, and structured CAS connections using the CLI. Beforecreatingconnections, you need to understand the rules for assigning virtual path identiﬁers (VPIs) and virtual channel identiﬁers (VCIs), time slots, signal modes, and constant bit rate (CBR) clocking. You also need to understand the syntax of the map command. To understand the assignment rules and the syntax of the map command, see the following sections before creating connections:

• “VPI/VCI assignments” (page 36)

• “Time slots” (page 36)

• “Signal mode” (page 36)

• “CBR clocking” (page 37)

• “Using the map command” (page 37)

Passport 8250 Command Line Interface Guide R2.2

36 Chapter 3 Provisioning ports and connections

Once you have obtained the understanding required, see “Creating unstructured connections” (page 41) and “Creating structured Basic and structured CAS connections” (page 42) for the procedures to create connections.

VPI/VCI assignments

The following rules apply for VPIs and VCIs:

• unique VPI/VCI pairing for each connection

• VPI number between 0 - 255

• VCI number between 0 - 65534

• do not use VPI 0/VCI 0

• do not use a VPI/VCI pairing that is reserved by the ATM Forum

standards

• do not use the VPI/VCI pairing used for in-band management

Time slots

The following rules apply for time slots:

• do not use time slot 0 for E1 structured Basic and structured CAS

connections

Signal mode

241-5101-201 R2.2

• do not use time slot 16 for E1 structured CAS connections

• enter the number of time slots assigned to a structured connection in a

hexadecimal format — See “Time slots” (page 71) for information on converting time slots

to hexadecimal format

The following rules apply for signal mode:

• forE1 unstructuredandstructuredBasic connections,setthe signal mode

to none

• for E1 structured CAS connections, set the signal mode to bit oriented

CBR clocking

The following rules apply for CBR clocking:

• SRTS CBR clocking is for DS-1/E1 unstructured services

• Synchronous CBR clocking is for DS-1/E1 unstructured and structured

services

• SRTS and synchronous CBR clock modes can be used for differentports

on a service board

Using the map command

The map command creates DS-1/E1 unstructured, structured Basic, and structured CAS connections. The syntax of the command is:

map <port#i>[,<#j>] [<time slot>] <VPI#k> <VCI#l> [cdvt=<value>] [PartialFill=<value>] [MaxBuffSize=<value>] [CAS=<cas type>] [cbrclock=<cbrClockMode>]

where

<port#i> is the ﬁrst port number

[,<#j>] is the last port number in a range of port numbers

Chapter 3 Provisioning ports and connections 37

[<time slots>] is the bitmap of the assigned time slots for the

connection in hexadecimal format

<VPI#k> is the VPI number assigned to the ports

<VCI#l> is the VCI number assigned to the ports. The VCI number

increments by one for each port.

[cdvt=<value>] is the cell delay variation tolerance (cdvt) that Passport

8250 tolerates in the cell stream without producing errors on the CBR interface. It is measured in 10 microsecond intervals.

[PartialFill=<value>] is the number of octets that is used in an ATM

cell before the ATM cell transmits onto the ATM network

Passport 8250 Command Line Interface Guide R2.2

38 Chapter 3 Provisioning ports and connections

[MaxBuffSize=<value>] is the size of the buffer memory that Passport

8250 uses for storing the reassembled cell stream. It is measured in 10 microseconds.

[CAS=<cas type>] is the type of connection to map to the port

[cbrclock=<cbrClockMode>] is the CBR clock mode for the

connection.

See “Map command parameters” (page 38) for possible values for the map command parameters.

For the default cdvt and MaxBuffSize values for DS-1/E1 structured Basic and structured CAS connections, see “Cdvt and MaxBuffSize parameters default values” (page 40).

Table 5 Map command parameters

Parameter Values

<port#i> 1 -16 [,<#j>] 2 -16

The [,<#j>] parameter must be greater than the <port#i> parameter.

[<time slots>] See“Time slots”(page 71)forinformationon convertingtimeslots

to hexadecimal.

<VPI#k> 0 - 255

See “VPI/VCI assignments” (page 36) for the rules on using VPI numbers.

<VCI#l> 0 - 65534

For multiple ports, the first port is assigned the VCI number and the VCI increments by one for each subsequent port.

See “VPI/VCI assignments” (page 36) for the rules on using VCI numbers.

Viewing connections mapped to ports

There are two ways toviewconnections mapped to ports usingthe CLI. You can view connections by “Searching by port number” (page 45) and “Searching by VPI or VPI/VCI” (page 47).

Searching by port number

The mshow command enables you to search for ports with mapped connections. The syntax of the command is:

mshow [<port#i>[,<#j>]] [-detail]

where

[<port#i>] is the ﬁrst port number

[,<#j>] is the last port number in a range of port numbers

[-detail] displays the VPI, VCI, time slots, cdvt, MaxBuffSize,

PartialFill, CAS, and CBR clock mode

Note: Entering the mshow command without the parameters displays all ports on a service board with connections.

Procedure

1 Ensure that you are accessing the correct service board number.

See “Accessing aboardintheCLI”(page 24) forinformationonchanging board numbers.

Searching by VPI or VPI/VCI

The vshow command enables you to search for connections with a VPI number or VPI and VCI pairing. The syntax of the command is:

vshow [<VPI#i>[,<#j>] [<VCI#k>[,<#l>]] [-detail]]

where

<VPI#i> is the ﬁrst VPI number

[,<#j>] is the last VPI number in a range of VPI numbers

<VCI#k> is the ﬁrst VCI number

[,<#l>] is the last VCI number in a range of VCI numbers

[-detail] displays the board number, port number, cdvt, MaxBuffSize,

PartialFill, CAS, and CBR clock mode

Note: Entering thevshow command without the parameters displays all connections mapped to ports.

Checking for network connectivity

The ping command tests that a remote host is reachable from the Passport 8250 device by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets. The syntax of the command is:

where

<host IP> is the IP address of the remote host

ping <hostIP> [<numPktsToRx>]

Passport 8250 Command Line Interface Guide R2.2

52 Chapter 4 Other activities in the CLI

[<numPktsToRx>] is the number of ICMP packets that the Passport 8250

devicereceivesfrom the remotehost. Ifthe numberof packets is unspeciﬁed, the routine waits for only one echo reply packet. If no packets are received within 5 seconds, the Passport 8250 displays thatthere is no answer from the remote host and exits the ping command.

Procedure

1 Test that a remote host is reachable from the Passport 8250 device:

ping <hostIP> [<numPktsToRx>]

automatic switching

RW Determines the switching method between the uplink ports.

enabled: The Passport 8250 attempts to select the primary port if a

signal is present on thisport. If not, the Passport 8250switchesto the

secondary port. To return to the primary port, you modify the active

port parameter.

disabled: The uplink port is directly controlled by setting the active

port parameter to the desired port. active port RW Displays the current uplink port.

automatic switching disabled: parameter selects the uplink port to

be used by the Passport 8250.

automatic switching enabled: parameter forces the Passport 8250

to switch back to the primary port after an automatic switch to the

secondary port. primary port RW Select whichof the two uplink ports is designated as the primary port.

automatic switching enabled: Determines which port the Passport

8250 attempts to use first. port A status RO The current status of port A uplink port.

signal detected: Signal detected on uplink port A.

loss of signal: Signal not detected on the uplink port A.
