Configuring Virtual Channel Connections

This section describes configuring virtual channel connections (VCCs) on the ATM switch router. A VCC is established as a bidirectional facility to transfer ATM traffic between two ATM layer users. Figure 6-1 shows an example VCC between ATM user A and user D.

An end-to-end VCC, as shown in Figure 6-1 between user A and user D, has two parts:

•Virtual channel links, labelled VCL. These are the interconnections between switches, either directly or through VP tunnels.

•Internal connections, shown by the dotted line in the switch. These connections are also sometimes called cross-connections or cross-connects.

The common endpoint between an internal connection and a link occurs at the switch interface. The endpoint of the internal connection is also referred to as a connection leg or half-leg. A cross-connect connects two legs together.

Figure 6-1 VCC Example

Note The value of the VPIs and VCIs can change as the traffic is relayed through the ATM network.

To configure a point-to-point VCC, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

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

Switch(config-if)#

Selects the interface to be configured.

Step 2

Switch(config-if)# atm pvc vpi-A [vci-A | any-vci¹] [rx-cttr index] [tx-cttr index] interface atm card/subcard/port[.vpt#] vpi-B [vci-B | any-vci¹]

Configures the PVC.

¹The any-vci parameter is only available for interface atm0.

Note The row index for rx-cttr and tx-cttr must be configured before using this optional parameter. See the "Configuring the Connection Traffic Table" section on page 8-10.

Note When configuring PVC connections, begin with lower VCI numbers. Using low VCI numbers allows more efficient use of the switch fabric resources.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the internal cross-connect PVC on Switch B between interface ATM 3/0/1 (VPI = 0, VCI = 50) and interface ATM 3/0/2 (VPI = 2, VCI = 100) (see Figure 6-1):
Switch-B(config)# interface atm 3/0/1Switch-B(config-if)# atm pvc 0 50 interface atm 3/0/2 2 100

The following example shows how to configure the internal cross-connect PVC on Switch C between interface ATM 0/0/0, VPI = 2, VCI = 100, and interface ATM 0/0/1, VPI 50, VCI = 255:
Switch-C(config)# interface atm 0/0/0Switch-C(config-if)# atm pvc 2 100 interface atm 0/0/1 50 255

Each subsequent VC cross-connection and link must be configured until the VC is terminated to create the entire VCC.

Note The above examples show how to configure cross-connections using one command. This is the preferred method, but it is also possible to configure each leg separately, then connect them with the atm pvc vpi vci interface atm card/subcard/port vpi vci command. This alternative method requires more steps, but might be convenient if each leg has many additional configuration parameters or if you have configured individual legs with SNMP commands and you want to connect them with one CLI command.

Displaying VCCs

To show the VCC configuration, use the following EXEC commands:

Command

Purpose

show atm interface [atm card/subcard/port]

Shows the ATM interface configuration.

show atm vc [interface atm card/subcard/port vpi vci]

Shows the PVC interface configuration.

Note The following examples differ depending on the feature card installed on the processor.

Examples

The following example shows the Switch B PVC configuration on ATM interface 3/0/1:

Deleting VCCs from an Interface

This section describes how to delete a VCC configured on an interface. To delete a VCC, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

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

Switch(config-if)#

Selects the interface to be configured.

Step 2

Switch(config-if)# no atm pvc vpi vci

Configuring Terminating PVC Connections

This section describes configuring point-to-point and point-to-multipoint terminating permanent virtual channel (PVC) connections. Terminating connections provide the connection to the ATM switch router's route processor for LAN emulation (LANE), IP over ATM, and control channels for Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI), signalling, and Private Network-Network Interface (PNNI) plus network management.

Figure 6-2 shows an example of transit and terminating connections.

Figure 6-2 Terminating PVC Types

Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint are two types of terminating connections. Both terminating connections are configured using the same commands as transit connections (discussed in the previous sections). However, all switch terminating connections use interface atm0 to connect to the route processor.

Note Since release 12.0(1a)W5(5b) of the system software, addressing the interface on the processor (CPU) has changed. The ATM interface is now called atm0, and the Ethernet interface is now called ethernet0. The old formats (atm 2/0/0 and ethernet 2/0/0) are still supported.

To configure both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint terminating PVC connections, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Switch(config)# interface atm card-A/subcard-A/port-A[.vpt#]

Switch(config-if)#

Selects the interface to be configured.

Step 2

Switch(config-if)# atm pvc vpi-A [vci-A | any-vci¹] [cast-type type] [rx-cttr index]
[tx-cttr index] interface atm card-B/subcard-B/port-B[.vpt#] vpi-B [vci-B | any-vci¹] [encap type] [cast-type type]

Configures the PVC between ATM switch router connections.

¹The any-vci feature is only available for interface atm 0.

When configuring point-to-multipoint PVC connections using the atm pvc command, the root point is port A and the leaf points are port B.

Note The row index for rx-cttr and tx-cttr must be configured before using this optional parameter. See the "Configuring the Connection Traffic Table" section on page 8-10.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the internal cross-connect PVC between interface ATM 3/0/1, VPI = 1, VCI = 50, and the terminating connection at the route processor interface ATM 0, VPI = 0, and VCI unspecified:
Switch-B(config)# interface atm 3/0/1Switch-B(config-if)# atm pvc 1 50 interface atm0 0 any-vci encap aal5snap

The following example shows how to configure the route processor leg of any terminating PVC:
Switch(config)# interface atm0Switch(config-if)# atm pvc 0 any-vci

When configuring the route processor leg of a PVC that is not a tunnel, the VPI should be configured as 0. The preferred method of VCI configuration is to select the any-vci parameter, unless a specific VCI is needed as a parameter in another command, such as map-list.

Note If configuring a specific VCI value for the route processor leg, select a VCI value higher than 300 to prevent a conflict with an automatically assigned VCI for well-known channels if the ATM switch router reboots.

Displaying the Terminating PVC Connections

To display the terminating PVC configuration VCs on the interface, use the following EXEC command:

Command

Purpose

show atm vc interface atm card/subcard/port vpi vci

Shows the PVC configured on the interface.

See the "Displaying VCCs" section for examples of the show atm vc commands.

Configuring PVP Connections

This section describes configuring a permanent virtual path (PVP) connection. Figure 6-3 shows an example of PVPs configured through the ATM switch routers.

Figure 6-3 Virtual Path Connection Example

To configure a PVP connection, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

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

Switch(config-if)#

Selects the physical interface to be configured.

Step 2

Switch(config-if)# atm pvp vpi-A [rx-cttr index] [tx-cttr index] interface atm card/subcard/port vpi-B

Configures the interface PVP.

Note The row index for rx-cttr and tx-cttr must be configured before using this optional parameter. See the "Configuring the Connection Traffic Table" section on page 8-10.

Note When configuring PVP connections, begin with lower virtual path identifier (VPI) numbers. Using low VPI numbers allows more efficient use of the switch fabric resources.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the internal cross-connect PVP within Switch B between interfaces 4/0/0, VPI = 30, and interface ATM 1/1/1, VPI = 45:
Switch-B(config)# interface atm 4/0/0Switch-B(config-if)# atm pvp 30 interface atm 1/1/1 45
The following example shows how to configure the internal cross-connect PVP within Switch C between interfaces 0/1/3, VPI = 45, and interface ATM 1/1/0, VPI = 50:
Switch-C(config)# interface atm 0/1/3LS1010(config-if)# atm pvp 45 interface atm 1/1/0 50

Each subsequent PVP cross connection and link must be configured until the VP is terminated to create the entire PVP.

Displaying PVP Configuration

To show the ATM interface configuration, use the following EXEC command:

Command

Purpose

show atm vp [interface atm card/subcard/port vpi]

Shows the ATM VP configuration.

Example

The following example shows the PVP configuration of Switch B:
Switch-B# show atm vpInterface VPI Type X-Interface X-VPI StatusATM1/1/1 45 PVP ATM4/0/0 30 UPATM4/0/0 30 PVP ATM1/1/1 45 UP

Configuring Point-to-Multipoint PVC Connections

This section describes configuring point-to-multipoint PVC connections. In Figure 6-4, cells entering the ATM switch router at the root point (on the left side at interface ATM 0/0/0, VPI = 50, VCI = 100) are duplicated and switched to the leaf points (output interfaces) on the right side of the figure.

Figure 6-4 Point-to-Multipoint PVC Example

Note If desired, one of the leaf points can terminate in the ATM switch router at the route processor interface ATM 0.

To configure the point-to-multipoint PVC connections shown in Figure 6-4, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port[.vpt#]

Switch(config-if)#

Configuring Soft PVC Connections

This section describes configuring soft permanent virtual channel (PVC) connections, which provide the following features:

•Connection to another host or ATM switch router that supports signalling

•Configuration of PVCs without the manual configuration steps described in the "Configuring Virtual Channel Connections" section

•Configuration of PVCs with the reroute or retry capabilities when a failure occurs in the network

Figure 6-6 illustrates the soft PVC connections used in the following examples.

Figure 6-6 Soft PCV Connection Example

Guidelines for Creating Soft PVCs

Perform the following steps when you configure soft PVCs:

Step 1 Determine which two ports you want to define as participants in the soft PVC.

Step 2 Decide which of these two ports you want to designate as the destination (or passive) side of the soft PVC.

This decision is arbitrary—it makes no difference which port you define as the destination end of the circuit.

Step 3 Retrieve the ATM address of the destination end of the soft PVC using the show atm address command.

Step 4 Retrieve the VPI/VCI values for the circuit using the show atm vc command.

Step 5 Configure the source (active) end of the soft PVC. At the same time, complete the soft PVC setup using the information derived from Step 3 and Step 4. Be sure to select an unused VPI/VCI value (one that does not appear in the show atm vc display).

Configuring Soft PVCs

To configure a soft PVC connection, perform the following steps, beginning in privileged EXEC mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Switch# show atm addresses

Determines the destination ATM address.

Step 2

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)#

At the privileged EXEC prompt, enters configuration mode from the terminal.

Step 3

Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port[.vpt#]

Switch(config-if)#

Selects the interface to be configured.

Step 4

Switch(config-if)# atm soft-vc source-vpi source-vci dest-address atm-address dest-vpi dest-vci [enable | disable] [upc upc] [pd pd] [rx-cttr index] [tx-cttr index]
[retry-interval [first interval]

Configuring the Soft PVP or Soft PVC Route Optimization Feature

This section describes the soft PVP or soft PVC route optimization feature. Most soft PVPs or soft PVCs have a much longer lifetime than SVCs. The route chosen during the soft connection setup remains the same even though the network topology might change.

Soft connections, with the route optimization percentage threshold set, provide the following features:

•When a better route is available, soft PVPs or PVCs are dynamically rerouted

•Route optimization can be triggered manually

Note Soft PVC route optimization should not be configured with constant bit rate (CBR) connections.

Route optimization is directly related to administrative weight, which is similar to hop count. For a description of administrative weight, see the "Configuring the Global Administrative Weight Mode" section .

Configuring soft PVP or soft PVC route optimization is described in the following sections:

• Enabling Soft PVP or Soft PVC Route Optimization

• Configuring a Soft PVP/PVC Interface with Route Optimization

For overview information about the route optimization feature refer to the Guide to ATM Technology.

Enabling Soft PVP or Soft PVC Route Optimization

Soft PVP or soft PVC route optimization must be enabled and a threshold level configured to determine the point when a better route is identified and the old route is reconfigured.

To enable and configure route optimization, use the following global configuration command:

Command

Purpose

atm route-optimization percentage-threshold percent

Configures route optimization.

Example

The following example enables route optimization and sets the threshold percentage to 85 percent:
Switch(config)# atm route-optimization percentage-threshold 85
Configuring a Soft PVP/PVC Interface with Route Optimization

Soft PVP or soft PVC route optimization must be enabled and configured to determine the point at which a better route is found and the old route is reconfigured.

To enable and configure a soft PVC/PVP interface with route optimization, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Switch(config)# interface [atm card/subcard/port | serial card/subcard/port:cgn]

Switch(config-if)#

Selects the interface to configure. Enter the interface number of the source end of the soft PVC/PVP. Route optimization works for the source end of a soft PVC/PVP only and is ignored if configured on the destination interface.

Step 2

Switch(config-if)# atm route-optimization soft-connection [interval minutes] [time-of-day {anytime | start-time end-time}]

Configures the interface for route optimization.

Example

The following example shows how to configure an interface with a route optimization interval configured as every 30 minutes between the hours of 6:00 P.M. and 5:00 A.M.:
Switch(config)# interface atm 0/0/0Switch(config-if)# atm route-optimization soft-connection interval 30 time-of-day 18:00 5:00
Displaying an Interface Route Optimization Configuration

To display the interface route optimization configuration, use the following EXEC command:

Command

Purpose

show atm interface [atm card/subcard/port | serial card/subcard/port:cgn]

Shows the interface configuration route optimization configuration.

Example

The following example shows the route optimization configuration of ATM interface 0/0/0:
Switch# show atm interface atm 0/0/0IF Status: UP Admin Status: upAuto-config: enabled AutoCfgState: completedIF-Side: Network IF-type: NNIUni-type: not applicable Uni-version: not applicableMax-VPI-bits: 8 Max-VCI-bits: 14Max-VP: 255 Max-VC: 16383ConfMaxSvpcVpi: 255 CurrMaxSvpcVpi: 255ConfMaxSvccVpi: 255 CurrMaxSvccVpi: 255ConfMinSvccVci: 35 CurrMinSvccVci: 35Svc Upc Intent: pass Signalling: EnabledSoft vc route optimization is enabledSoft vc route optimization interval = 30 minutesSoft vc route optimization time-of-day range = (18:0 - 5:0)ATM Address for Soft VC: 47.0091.8100.0000.00e0.4fac.b401.4000.0c80.8000.00<information deleted>
Configuring Soft PVCs with Explicit Paths

Normally, soft PVCs and soft PVPs are automatically routed by PNNI over paths that meet the traffic parameter objectives. However, for cases where manually configured paths are needed, PNNI explicit paths can optionally be specified for routing the soft PVC or soft PVP. For detailed information on configuring PNNI explicit paths, refer to the "Configuring Explicit Paths" section .

The explicit paths are assigned using precedence numbers 1 through 3. The precedence 1 path is tried first and if it fails the soft connection is routed using the precedence 2 path and so forth. If all of the explicit paths fail, standard on-demand PNNI routing is tried unless the only-explicit keyword is specified.

If the soft connection destination address is reachable at one of the included entries in an explicit path, any following entries in that path are automatically disregarded. This allows longer paths to be reused for closer destinations. Alternatively, the upto keyword can be specified for an explicit path in order to disregard later path entries.

Example

The following example shows how to configure a soft PVC between ATM switch router dallas_1 and an address on ATM switch router new_york_3 using either of the two explicit paths new_york.path1 and new_york.path2. If both explicit paths fail, the ATM switch router uses PNNI on-demand routing to calculate the route.
dallas_1(config)# interface atm 0/0/0dallas_1(config)# atm soft-vc 0 201 dest-address 47.0091.8100.0000.1061.3e7b.2f99.4000.0c80.0030.00 0 101 explicit-path 1 name new_york.path1 explicit-path 2 name new_york.path2
Changing Explicit Paths for an Existing Soft PVC

Explicit paths can be added, modified or removed without tearing down existing soft PVCs by using the redo-explicit keyword. Only the source VPI and VCI options need to be specified. All applicable explicit path options are replaced by the respecified explicit path options.

The soft PVC is not immediately rerouted using the new explicit path. However, reroutes using the new explicit path can happen for the following four reasons:

1. A failure occurs along the current path.

2. The EXEC command atm route-optimization soft-connection is entered for the soft PVC.

3. route-optimization is enabled and the retry time interval has expired.

4. The soft PVC is disabled and then reenabled using the disable and enable keywords.

Example

The following example shows how to change the explicit path configuration for an existing soft PVC on the ATM switch router dallas_1 without tearing down the connection. The new configuration specifies the two explicit paths, new_york.path3 and new_york.path4, and uses the only-explicit option.
dallas_1(config)# interface atm 0/0/0dallas_1(config)# atm soft-vc 0 201 redo-explicit explicit-path 1 name new_york.path3 explicit-path 2 name new_york.path4 only-explicit

Note The configuration displayed for soft connections with explicit paths is always shown as two separate lines using the redo-explicit keyword on the second line, even if it is originally configured using a single command line.

Displaying Explicit Path for Soft PVC Connections

To display a soft PVC connection successfully routed over an explicit path, use the following EXEC command:

Command

Purpose

show atm vc interface atm card/subcard/port vpi vci

Displays the soft PVC connection status including the PNNI explicit path routing status for the last setup attempt.

Example

The following example shows the last explicit path status for a soft PVC using the show atm vc interface EXEC command. Note that the first listed explicit path new_york.path2 shows an unreachable result, but the second explicit path new_york.path1 succeeded.

Configuring Nondefault Well-Known PVCs

Normally the default well-known VCs are automatically created with default virtual channel identifiers (VCIs). However, for the unusual instances where the ATM switch router interfaces with nonstandard equipment, you can configure nondefault well-known VCI values on a per-interface basis.

For overview information about the well-known PVCs, refer to the Guide to ATM Technology.

Table 6-2 lists the default well-known VCs and their default configuration.

Caution Do not change the well-known channels to use a VC where the remote end is sending AAL5 messages not intended for the well-known VC. For example, do not swap VC values between two types of well-known VCs.

Overview of Nondefault PVC Configuration

Following is an overview of the steps needed to configure nondefault well-known VCs:

Step 1 Enable manual well-known VC configuration.

Step 2 Delete any existing automatically created well-known VCs.

Step 3 Configure the individual encapsulation type as follows:

•Signalling (QSAAL)

•ILMI

•PNNI

•Tag switching

Step 4 Copy the running-configuration file to the startup-configuration file.

Configuring Nondefault PVCs

To configure the nondefault PVCs for signalling, ILMI, and PNNI, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

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

Switch(config-if)#

Selects the interface to be configured.

Step 2

Switch(config-if)# atm manual-well-known-vc {keep | delete}

Enters manual-well-known-vc mode.

Step 3

Switch(config-if)# atm pvc vpi vci [rx-cttr index] [tx-cttr index] interface atm card/subcard/port any-vci [encap {ilmi | pnni | qsaal}]

or

Switch(config-if)# tag-switching atm control-vc vpi vci

Configures the nondefault PVC for encapsulation type.

Step 4

Switch(config-if)# end

Switch#

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 5

Switch# copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config

Copies the running configuration file to the startup configuration file.

Note An error condition occurs if either the signalling or ILMI well-known VCs remain unconfigured when an interface is enabled.

Example

The following example shows the nondefault VC configuration steps:

Step 1 Use the show atm vc interface atm command to display the configuration of the existing default well-known VCs for ATM interface 0/0/0.

Step 2 Change to interface configuration mode for ATM interface 0/0/0.

Step 3 Enter manual well-known-vc mode and delete the existing default well-known VCs using the atm manual-well-known-vc delete command.

Step 4 Confirm deletion by entering y.

Step 5 Configure the nondefault VC for signalling from 5 (the default) to 35 using the atm pvc command.

Step 6 Configure the ILMI VC, then configure the PNNI VC if needed using the same procedure.

Step 7 Save the new running configuration to the startup configuration.

An example of this procedure follows:

Configuring a VPI/VCI Range for SVPs and SVCs

You can configure a virtual path identifier/virtual channel identifier (VPI/VCI) range for switched virtual channels and switched virtual paths (SVCs and SVPs). ILMI uses the specified range to negotiate the VPI/VCI range parameters with peers. This feature allows you to:

•Specify ranges for SVPs/SVCs.

•Avoid VPI/VCI conflicts when attempting to set up soft PVPs or soft PVCs.

You can still configure PVPs and PVCs in any supported range, including any VPI/VCI range you configured for SVPs/SVCs.

Note This feature is supported in ILMI 4.0.

The default maximum switched virtual path connection (SVPC) VPI is equal to 255. You can change the maximum SVPC VPI by entering the atm svpc vpi max value command. See Table 6-3 for the allowable ranges.

Table 6-3 Maximum SVPC VPI Range

VPI Bit Type

Maximum Value Range

8-bit VPI

0 to 255

12-bit VPI¹

0 to 4095

¹Only available on ATM NNI interfaces.

Note The maximum value specified applies to all interfaces except logical interfaces, which have a fixed value of 0.

For further information and examples of using VPI/VCI ranges for SVPs/SVCs, refer to the Guide to ATM Technology.

Every interface negotiates the local values for the maximum SVPC VPI, maximum SVCC VPI, and minimum SVCC VCI with the peer's local value during ILMI initialization. The negotiated values determine the ranges for SVPs and SVCs. If the peer interface does not support these objects or autoconfiguration is turned off on the local interface, the local values determine the range.

To configure a VPI/VCI range for SVCs/SVPs, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

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

Switch(config-if)#

Configuring VP Tunnels

This section describes configuring virtual path (VP) tunnels, which provide the ability to interconnect ATM switch routers across public networks using PVPs. You can configure a VP tunnel to carry a single service category, or you can configure a VP tunnel to carry multiple service categories, including merged VCs.

Figure 6-8 shows a public UNI interface over a DS3 connection between the ATM switch router (HB-1) in the Headquarters building and the ATM switch router (SB-1) in the Remote Sales building. To support signalling across this connection, a VP tunnel must be configured.

Figure 6-8 Public VP Tunnel Network Example

Configuring a VP Tunnel for a Single Service Category

The type of VP tunnel described in this section is configured as a VP of a single service category. Only virtual circuits (VCs) of that service category can transit the tunnel.

To configure a VP tunnel connection for a single service category, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Switch(config)# atm connection-traffic-table-row [index row-index] [{vbr-rt | vbr-nrt} pcr pcr_value
{scr0 | scr10} scr_value [mbs mbs_value]
[cdvt cdvt_value] |

[abr pcr pcr_value [mcr mcr_value]
[cdvt cdvt_value] |
[ubr pcr pcr_value [mcr mcr_value]
[cdvt cdvt_value]]

Configures the connection-traffic-table-row index for any nondefault traffic values (Optional).

Step 2

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

Switch(config-if)#

Selects the physical interface to be configured.

Step 3

Switch(config-if)# atm pvp vpi [rx-cttr index] [tx-cttr index]

Configures an interface permanent virtual path (PVP) leg.

Step 4

Switch(config-if)# exit

Switch(config)#

Exits interface configuration mode.

Step 5

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

Switch(config-subif)#

Creates a VP tunnel using a VP tunnel number that matches the PVP leg virtual path identifier (VPI).

Note The row index for nondefault rx-cttr and tx-cttr must be configured before these optional parameters are used.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the ATM VP tunnel on the ATM switch router (HB-1) at interface ATM 1/0/0, VPI 99:
Switch(HB-1)(config)# interface atm 1/0/0Switch(HB-1)(config-if)# atm pvp 99Switch(HB-1)(config-if)# exitSwitch(HB-1)(config)# interface atm 1/0/0.99Switch(HB-1)(config-subif)# endSwitch(HB-1)#

Configuring a Shaped VP Tunnel

This section describes configuring a shaped VP tunnel for a single service category with rate-limited tunnel output on a switch.

A shaped VP tunnel is configured as a VP of the CBR service category. By default, this tunnel can carry VCs only of the CBR service category. However, you can configure this VP tunnel to carry VCs of other service categories. The overall output of this VP tunnel is rate-limited by hardware to the peak cell rate (PCR) of the tunnel.

Note Shaped VP tunnels are supported only on systems with the FC-PFQ feature card. (Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010)

A shaped VP tunnel is defined as a CBR VP with a PCR. The following limitations apply:

•A maximum of 64 shaped VP tunnels can be defined on each of the following interface groups: (0/0/x, 1/0/x), (0/1/x, 1/1/x), (2/0/x, 3/0/x), (2/1/x, 3/1/x), (9/0/x, 10/0/x), (9/1/x, 10/1/x), (11/0/x, 12/0/x), and (11/1/x, 12/1/x). (Catalyst 8540 MSR)

•A maximum of 64 shaped VP tunnels can be defined on interfaces x/0/y; similarly, a maximum of 64 shaped VP tunnels can be defined on interfaces x/1/y. (Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010)

•The bandwidth of the shaped VP tunnel is shared by the active VCs inside the tunnel in strict round-robin (RR) fashion.

•Even though the shaped VP tunnel is defined as CBR, it can carry VCs of another service category by substituting the new service category after the tunnel interface has been initially configured. For configuration information, see the "Configuring Interface Service Category Support" section on page 8-35.

•Shaped VP tunnels do not support merged VCs for tag switching.

•UBR+ and ABR VCs with non-zero MCR are not allowed on a shaped VP tunnel interface.

•A maximum of 128 VCs can transit a shaped VP tunnel interface.

•Shaped VP tunnels support interface overbooking. For configuration information, see the "Configuring Interface Overbooking" section on page 8-37.

•Shaped VP tunnels cannot be configured with ATM router modules because CBR scheduling is not supported on those interfaces.

Configuring a Shaped VP Tunnel on an Interface

To configure a shaped VP tunnel, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Switch(config)# atm connection-traffic-table-row [index row-index] cbr pcr rate

Configures the connection-traffic-table row for the desired PVP CBR cell rate.

Step 2

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

Switch(config-if)#

Selects the physical interface to configure.

Step 3

Switch(config-if)# atm pvp vpi shaped rx-cttr index tx-cttr index

Configures an interface PVP leg.

Step 4

Switch(config-if)# exit

Switch(config)#

Exits interface configuration mode.

Step 5

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

Switch(config-subif)#

Creates a shaped VP tunnel using a VP tunnel number that matches the PVP leg VPI.

Note The rx-cttr and tx-cttr row indexes must be configured before they are used.

Example

The following example shows how to configure a shaped VP tunnel with a VPI of 99 as ATM interface 0/0/0.99
Switch(config)# interface atm 0/0/0Switch(config-if)# atm pvp 99 shaped rx-cttr 100 tx-cttr 100Switch(config-if)# exitSwitch(config-if)# interface atm 0/0/0.99Switch(config-subif)#
Displaying the Shaped VP Tunnel Configuration

To display the shaped VP tunnel interface configuration, use the following EXEC command:

Command

Purpose

show atm interface atm card/subcard/port.vpt#

Shows the ATM VP interface configuration.

For an example display from the show atm interface command, see the "Displaying the Hierarchical VP Tunnel Configuration" section .

Configuring a Hierarchical VP Tunnel for Multiple Service Categories

This section describes configuring a hierarchical VP tunnel for multiple service categories with rate-limited tunnel output.

A hierarchical VP tunnel allows VCs of multiple service categories to pass through the tunnel. In addition, the overall output of the VP tunnel is rate-limited to the PCR of the tunnel. There is no general limit on the number of connections allowed on a such a tunnel. Hierarchical VP tunnels can also support merged VCs for tag switching. See the "Configuring VC Merge" section .

Service categories supported include the following:

•Constant bit rate (CBR)

•Variable bit rate (VBR)

•Available bit rate (ABR) with a nonzero minimum cell rate (MCR)

•Unspecified bit rate (UBR+) with a nonzero MCR

Note Hierarchical VP tunnels are supported only on systems with the FC-PFQ feature card. (Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010)

While capable of carrying any traffic category, a hierarchical VP tunnel is itself defined as CBR with a PCR. The following limitations apply on the Catalyst 8540 MSR:

•Hierarchical VP tunnels can be defined only on interfaces in slots 0, 2, 9, and 11.

•For carrier module port adapters, interfaces 0/x/y, 2/x/y, 9/x/y, and 11/x/y can each support 30 hierarchical VP tunnels, for a combined total of 120. For OC-12 full-width modules, ports 0/0/[0-1], 0/0/[2-3], 2/0/[0-1], 2/0/[2-3], 9/0/[0-1], 9/0/[2-3], 11/0/[0-1], and 11/0/[2-3] can each support 30 hierarchical VP tunnels, for a combined total of 240.

The following limitations apply on the Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010:

•A maximum of 30 hierarchical VP tunnels can be defined on interfaces 0/0/x and 3/0/x. A maximum of 30 hierarchical VP tunnels can be defined on interfaces 0/1/x and 3/1/x.

•Hierarchical VP tunnels can be defined only on interfaces in slots 0 and 3.

The following limitations apply on the Catalyst 8540 MSR, Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010:

•Only hierarchical VPs are allowed on the interface (not other VCs or VPs).

•Bandwidth allocated on output to a hierarchical VP cannot be used by another hierarchical VP.

•At system boot, when global hierarchical scheduling is enabled, the switch router initializes the slot pairs according to the following restrictions:

–Hierarchical scheduling is disabled for any slot pair that contains an ATM router module or Ethernet interface module. On the Catalyst 8540 MSR, the slot pairs are slots 0 and 1, slots 2 and 3, slots 9 and 10, and slots 11 and 12. On the Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010, the slot pairs are slots 0 and 1 and slots 3 and 4.

–Hierarchical scheduling is enabled for any slot pair that has an ATM port adapter or interface module in one slot and the other slot empty, or ATM port adapters or interface modules in both slots.

–If a slot pair is empty, the hierarchical scheduling mode is determined by the first port adapter or interface module that is installed in the slot pair. If you insert an ATM port adapter or interface module first, hierarchical scheduling is enabled; if you insert an ATM router module or Ethernet interface module first, hierarchical scheduling is disabled.

•If hierarchical scheduling is enabled for a slot pair, ATM router modules or Ethernet interface modules inserted into the slot pair do not function.

•If hierarchical scheduling is disabled for a slot pair, ATM port adapters or interface modules inserted into the slot pair do not support hierarchical VP tunnels, and any hierarchical VP tunnels configured for the slot pair do not function.

•Hierarchical VP tunnels support interface overbooking. For configuration information, see the "Configuring Interface Overbooking" section on page 8-37.

Enabling Hierarchical Mode

Before configuring a hierarchical VP tunnel, you must first enable hierarchical mode, then reload the ATM switch router. Perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command

Step 4

Switch# reload

Reloads the operating system.

Note Enabling hierarchical mode causes the minimum rate allocated for guaranteed bandwidth to a connection to be increased.

Example

The following example shows how to enable hierarchical mode, then save and reload the configuration.
Switch(config)# atm hierarchical-tunnelSwitch(config)# exitSwitch# copy system:running-config nvram:startup-configSwitch# reload
Configuring a Hierarchical VP Tunnel on an Interface

Configuring an End-Point PVC to a PVP Tunnel

To configure an end point of a permanent virtual channel (PVC) to a previously created PVP tunnel, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

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

Switch(config-if)#

Selects the physical interface to be configured.

Step 2

Switch(config-if)# atm pvc vpi-a vci-a [upc upc] [pd pd] [rx-cttr index] [tx-cttr index] interface atm card/subcard/port.vpt# vpi-b vci-b [upc upc]

Configures the PVC with the VPI of the tunnel leg matching the tunnel VP tunnel number.

The following restrictions apply to an end point of a PVC-to-PVP tunnel subinterface:

•The VPI number of the tunnel leg of any PVC connection must match the VP tunnel number of the tunnel.

•For single service-category VP tunnels, the service class specified by the connection-traffic-table row (CTTR) of any PVC connections must match the service category for the row(s) selected for the tunnel PVP (for simple VP tunnels), or the configured service category (for shaped VP tunnels). This restriction does not apply to VP tunnels configured for multiple service categories (hierarchical VP tunnels).

•For service classes other than UBR, the PCRs of all PVCs must be within the peak cell rate of the tunnel PVP. This setup requires new CTTR rows to be defined for CBR or VBR PVCs, with peak cell rates that are less than the intended tunnel PVP.

Example

The following example shows how to configure the example tunnel ATM 1/0/0.99 with a PVC from ATM interface 0/0/1 to the tunnel at ATM interface 1/0/0.99:
Switch(HB-1)(config)# interface atm 0/0/1Switch(HB-1)(config-if)# atm pvc 0 50 interface atm 1/0/0.99 99 40

Configuring Signalling VPCI for VP Tunnels

You can specify the value of the virtual path connection identifier (VPCI) that is to be carried in the signalling messages within a VP tunnel. The connection identifier information element (IE) is used in signalling messages to identify the corresponding user information flow. The connection identifier IE contains the VPCI and VCI.

Note By default, the VPCI is the same as the VPI on the ATM switch router.

This feature can also be used to support connections over a virtual UNI.

To configure a VP tunnel connection signalling VPCI, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

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

Switch(config-if)#

Selects the subinterface.

Step 2

Switch(config-if)# atm signalling vpci vpci-number

Configuring Interface and Connection Snooping

Snooping allows the cells from all connections, in either receive or transmit direction, on a selected physical port to be transparently mirrored to a snoop test port where an external ATM analyzer can be attached. Unlike shared medium LANs, an ATM system requires a separate port to allow nonintrusive traffic monitoring on a line.

Note Only cells that belong to existing connections are sent to the snoop test port. Any received cells that do not belong to existing connections are not copied. In addition, the STS-3c (or other) overhead bytes transmitted at the test port are not copies of the overhead bytes at the monitored port.

Snooping Test Ports (Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010)

With the FC-PCQ installed, only the highest port on the last module in the ATM switch router can be configured as a snoop test port. Table 6-4 lists the interface number of the allowed snoop test port for the various port adapter types. If you specify an incorrect snoop test port for the currently installed port adapter type, an error appears on the console. The feature card per-class queuing (FC-PCQ) also does not support per-connection snooping.

The port number of the test port depends on the card type. Table 6-4 lists the allowed snoop test port number for the supported interfaces.

¹Both transmit and receive interfaces must be on 25-Mbps port adapters.

Effect of Snooping on Monitored Port

There is no effect on cell transmission, interface or VC status and statistics, front panel indicators, or any other parameters associated with a port being monitored during snooping. Any port, other than the highest port, that contains a port adapter type with a bandwidth less than or equal to the port adapter bandwidth for the test port can be monitored by snooping.

Shutting Down Test Port for Snoop Mode Configuration

The port being configured as a test port must be shut down before configuration. While the test port is shut down and after snoop mode has been configured, no cells are transmitted from the test port until it is reenabled using the no shutdown command. A test port can be put into snoop mode even if there are existing connections to it; however, those connections remain "Down" even after the test port is reenabled using the no shutdown command. This includes any terminating connections for ILMI, PNNI, or signalling channels on the test port.

If you use a show atm interface command while the test port is enabled in snoop mode, the screen shows the following:

•Interface state appears as "Snooping" instead of "up" or "down."

•Other ATM layer information for the test port is still displayed.

•Any previously configured connections on the test port remain installed, but are listed as Connection Status = down.

•Data for transmitted cells and output rates indicates the snooping cells are being transmitted.

•Counts for receive cells should remain unchanged and the input rate should be 0.

Other Configuration Options for Snoop Test Port

Most inapplicable configurations on the test port interface are disregarded while in snoop mode. However, the following configuration options are not valid when specified for the snoop test port and may affect the proper operation of the snoop mode on the test port:

•Diagnostic and PIF loopbacks of the snoop test port. These types of loopbacks do not function in snooping mode since the PIF receive side signals are disabled.

•Other physical layer loopbacks (line, cell, or payload) function normally when in snooping mode since they loop toward the line and are unaffected by the lack of PIF receive input.

•Interface pacing (with the rate for the snoop test port lower than the rate for the monitored port).

•Network-derived clock source using the snoop test port.

•Clock-source = loop-timed for the snoop test port.

Caution You should ensure that all options are valid and configured correctly while in the snoop mode.

Configuring Interface Snooping

The atm snoop interface atm command enables a snoop test port. Cells transmitted from the snoop test port are copies of cells from a single direction of a monitored port.

When in snoop mode, any prior permanent virtual connections to the snoop test port remain in the down state.

To configure interface port snooping, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

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

Switch(config-if)#

Selects the interface to be configured.

Step 2

Switch(config-if)# atm snoop interface atm card/subcard/port direction [receive | transmit]

Specifies the interface and direction to be snooped.

Example

The following example shows how to configure ATM interface 12/1/3 as the port in snoop mode to monitor ATM interface 3/0/0, tested in the receive direction:
Switch(config)# interface atm 12/1/3Switch(config-if)# atm snoop interface atm 3/0/0 direction receive
Displaying Interface Snooping

To display the test port information, use the following EXEC command:

Command

Purpose

show atm snoop

Displays the snoop configuration.

Example

The following example shows the snoop configuration on the OC-3c port and the actual register values for the highest interface:
Switch# show atm snoopSnoop Test Port Name: ATM12/1/3 (interface status=SNOOPING)Snoop option: (configured=enabled) (actual=enabled)Monitored Port Name: (configured=ATM3/0/0) (actual=ATM3/0/0)Snoop direction: (configured=receive) (actual=receive)
Configuring Per-Connection Snooping

With per-connection snooping you must specify both the snooped connection endpoint and the snooping connection endpoint. The Cisco IOS software adds the snooping connection endpoint as a leaf to the snooped connection. The root of the temporary multicast connection depends on the direction being snooped. Snooping in the direction of leaf to root is not allowed for multicast connections. Per-connection snooping features are as follows:

•Per-VC snooping

•Per-VP snooping

The snooping connection can be configured on any port when there is no VPI/VCI collision for the snoop connection with the existing connections on the port. Also the port should have enough resources to satisfy the snoop connection resource requirements. In case of failure, due to VPI/VCI collision or resource exhaustion, a warning message is displayed, and you can reconfigure the connection on a different port.

To snoop both transmit and receive directions of a connection, you need to configure two different snoop connections.

Note Per-connection snooping is available only with the switch processor feature card.

Nondisruptive per-connection snooping is achieved by dynamically adding a leaf to an existing connection (either unicast or multicast). This can lead to cell discard if the added leaf cannot process the snooped cells fast enough. For a multicast connection, the queue buildup is dictated by the slowest leaf in the connection. The leaf added for snooping inherits the same traffic characteristics as the other connection leg. This ensures that the added leaf does not become the bottleneck and affect the existing connection.

To configure connection snooping, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

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

Switch(config-if)#

Selects the interface to be configured.

Step 2

Switch(config-if)# atm snoop-vc [a-vpi a-vci] interface atm card/subcard/port x-vpi x-vci [direction {receive | transmit}]

Configures the virtual channel to be snooped. a denotes the snooping connection. x denotes the snooped connection.

Step 3

Switch(config-if)# atm snoop-vp [a-vpi] interface atm card/subcard/port x-vpi [direction {receive | transmit}]

Configures the virtual path to be snooped.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure VC 100 200 on ATM interface 3/1/0 to snoop VC 200 150 on ATM interface 1/0/0:
Switch(config)# interface atm 3/1/0Switch(config-if)# atm snoop-vc 100 200 interface atm 1/0/0 200 150 direction receive

The following example shows how to configure VP 100 on ATM interface 3/1/0 to snoop VP 200 on ATM interface 1/0/0:
Switch(config)# interface atm 3/1/0Switch(config-if)# atm snoop-vp 100 interface atm 1/0/0 200 direction receive
