Configuring Interfaces

This chapter describes the steps required to configure the physical interfaces on the ATM switch router. Your switch is configured as specified in your order and is ready for installation and startup when it leaves the factory.

Note This chapter provides advanced configuration instructions for the Catalyst 8540 MSR, Catalyst 8510 MSR, and LightStream 1010 ATM switch routers. For complete descriptions of the commands mentioned in this chapter, refer to the ATM Switch Router Command Reference publication. For hardware installation and cabling instructions, refer to the ATM Port Adapter and Interface Module Installation Guide.

Each port on the interface module or interface module physical interface can be configured to support the following clocking options:

•Self-timing based on a stratum 4 level clock

•Loop timing from the received data stream—ideal for public network connections

•Timing synchronized to a selected master clock port; required to distribute a single clock across a network

The plug-and-play mechanisms of the ATM switch router allow it to come up automatically. All configuration information for interface modules can be saved between hot swaps and switch router reboots. The switch router automatically discovers interface types and eliminates mandatory manual configuration.

When you upgrade your system, add components, or customize the initial configuration, refer to the following sections:

• Configuring 25-Mbps Interfaces (Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010)

• Configuring 155-Mbps SM, MM, and UTP Interfaces

• Configuring 622-Mbps SM and MM Interfaces

• Configuring OC-12c SM and MM Interfaces (Catalyst 8540 MSR)

• Configuring OC-48c SM and MM Interfaces (Catalyst 8540 MSR)

• Configuring DS3 and E3 Interfaces

• Configuring T1/E1 Trunk Interfaces

• Troubleshooting the Interface Configuration

Note For hardware installation and cabling instructions, refer to the ATM Port Adapter and Interface Module Installation Guide. For complete descriptions of the commands mentioned in this chapter, refer to the ATM Switch Router Command Reference publication.

To configure the circuit emulation service (CES) T1 and E1 port adapters, refer to "Configuring Circuit Emulation Services" To configure the Frame Relay E1 port adapters, refer to "Configuring Frame Relay to ATM Interworking Port Adapter Interfaces" To configure the T1 and E1 inverse multiplexing over ATM (IMA) port adapters, refer to "Configuring IMA Port Adapter Interfaces" To configure the ATM router modules, refer to "Configuring ATM Router Module Interfaces"

Configuring 25-Mbps Interfaces (Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010)

The ATM switch supports two types of 25-Mbps port adapters: a 4-port version and a 12-port version. The number of ports is determined by the type of cable used with the 25-Mbps port adapters. The cables have a 96-pin Molex connector with a multileg RJ-45 cable assembly. That is, multiple RJ-45 cables branch off from one large 96-pin Molex connector. You can choose either a 4-port version (with four RJ-45 cables) or a 12-port version (with 12 RJ-45 cables). Each 25.6-Mbps ATM port can be used for workgroup links. Each port complies with the ATM Forum PHY standard for 25.6 Mbps over twisted-pair cable.

The plug-and-play mechanisms of the ATM switch allow the switches to come up automatically. All configuration information for the port adapters can be saved between hot swaps and switch reboots, while interface types are automatically discovered by the switch, thereby eliminating mandatory manual configuration.

The ATM switch supports any combination of port adapters. You can configure your switch with up to 32 25-Mbps interface ports with the 4-port 25-Mbps port adapter, or up to 96 25-Mbps interface ports with the 12-port 25-Mbps port adapter.

Default 25-Mbps ATM Interface Configuration without Autoconfiguration (Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010)

If ILMI is disabled or if the connecting end node does not support ILMI, the following defaults are assigned to all 25-Mbps interfaces:

•ATM interface type = UNI

•UNI version = 3.0

•Maximum VPI bits = 2

•Maximum VCI bits = 14

•ATM interface side = network

•ATM UNI type = private

For the 12-port 25-Mbps port adapter, the following parameters can be configured on physical ports 0 or 6. Parameters configured on port 0 apply to ports 0 to 5, and parameters configured on port 6 apply to ports 6 to 11. For the 4-port 25-Mbps port adapter, parameters configured on port 0 apply to ports 0 to 4:

•Output-queue

•Output-threshold

•CAC link sharing

Note Pacing might not be configured on any physical port of the 25-Mbps port adapter.

Manual 25-Mbps Interface Configuration (Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010)

To manually change any of the default configuration values, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Modifies the auto-ferf configuration.

Examples

The following example shows how to change the default ATM interface type to private using the atm uni type private command:

Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# interface atm 0/0/0 Switch(config-if)# atm uni type private

The following example shows how to change the clock source using the clock source network-derived command:

Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# interface atm 0/0/0 Switch(config-if)# clock source network-derived

Refer to the "Troubleshooting the Interface Configuration" section to confirm your interface configuration.

Configuring T1/E1 Trunk Interfaces

The T1 and E1 trunk port adapters, used for intercampus or wide-area links, have four ports.

T1/E1 Trunk Interface Configuration

The ATM switch router supports any combination of port adapters. You can configure your switch router with only the number and type of interfaces required, with up to 64 T1 or E1 interface ports on the Catalyst 8540 MSR and up to 32 T1 or E1 interface ports on the Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010 ATM switch routers.

The port adapter supports SC-type and BNC connectors while receive and transmit LEDs on each port give quick, visual indications of port status and operation.

Traffic-pacing allows the aggregate output traffic rate on any port to be set to a rate below the line rates. This feature is useful when communicating with a slow receiver or when connected to public networks with peak-rate tariffs.

Default T1 and E1 ATM Interface Configuration without Autoconfiguration

If ILMI is disabled or if the connecting end node does not support ILMI, the following defaults are assigned to all T1 and E1 interfaces:

•ATM interface type = UNI

•UNI version = 3.0

•Maximum VPI bits = 8

•Maximum VCI bits = 14

•ATM interface side = network

•ATM UNI type = private

The following port adapter types have specific defaults assigned.

T1 port adapter:

•Framing = ESF

•Line coding = B8ZS

•Cell payload scrambling = off

•Clock source = network-derived

•LBO = 0 to 110 feet

•Auto-ferf on loss of signal (LOS) = on

•Auto-ferf on out of frame (OOF) = on

•Auto-ferf on red = on

•Auto-ferf on loss of cell delineation (LCD) = on

•Auto-ferf on alarm indication signal (AIS) = on

E1 port adapter:

•Framing = g.832 adm

•Line coding = HDB3

•Cell payload scrambling = off

•Clock source = network-derived

•Auto-ferf on LOS = on

•Auto-ferf on OOF = on

•Auto-ferf on red = on

•Auto-ferf on LCD = on

•Auto-ferf on AIS = on

Manual T1 and E1 Interface Configuration

To manually change any of the default configuration values, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1

Switch(config)# network-clock-select priority atm card/subcard/port

Configures the network-derived clock.

Step 2

Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port

Switch(config-if)#

Specifies an ATM interface and enters interface configuration mode.

Step 3

Switch(config-if)# atm uni [side {private | public}] [type {network | user}] [version {3.0 | 3.1 | 4.0}]

Modifies the ATM interface side, type, or version.

Step 4

Switch(config-if)# atm maxvpi-bits max-vpi-bits

Modifies the maximum VPI bits configuration.

Step 5

Switch(config-if)# atm maxvci-bits max-vci-bits

Modifies the maximum VCI bits configuration.

Step 6

Switch(config-if)# framing {esfadm | esfplcp | sfadm | sfplcp}

Switch(config-if)# framing {crc4adm | crc4plcp | pcm30adm pcm30plcp}

Modifies the T1 framing mode.


Modifies the E1 framing mode.

Step 7

Switch(config-if)# linecode {ami | b8zs}

Switch(config-if)# linecode {ami | hdb3}

Modifies the T1 line coding.

Modifies the E1 line coding.

Step 8

Switch(config-if)# scrambling {cell-payload | sts-stream}

Modifies the scrambling mode.

Step 9

Switch(config-if)# clock source {free-running | loop-timed | network-derived}

Modifies the clock source.

Step 10

Switch(config-if)# lbo {0_110 | 110_220 | 220_330 | 330_440 | 440_550 | 550_600 | gt_600}

Modifies the line build-out.

Step 11

Switch(config-if)# auto-ferf {ais | lcd | los | oof | red}

Modifies the auto-ferf configuration.

Examples

The following example shows how to change the default ATM interface type to private using the atm uni type private command:
