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.
Each port on the port adapter physical interface can be configured to support the following clocking options:
The plug-and-play mechanisms of the ATM switch router allow it to come up automatically. All configuration information for port adapters can be saved between hot swaps and switch reboots, while interface types are automatically discovered by the switch, eliminating mandatory manual configuration.
When you upgrade your system, add components, or customize the initial configuration, refer to the following sections:
Note For hardware installation and cabling instructions, refer to the ATM Port Adapter 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 and the Frame Relay E1 port adapters, see the chapters "Configuring Circuit Emulation Services" and "Configuring Frame Relay to ATM Interworking Port Adapter Interfaces."
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.
If ILMI is disabled or if the connecting end node does not support ILMI, the following defaults are assigned to all 25-Mbps interfaces:
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:
To manually change any of the default configuration values, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
| Step | Command | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Specifies an ATM interface and enters interface configuration mode. |
|
| 2. | atm uni [side network] [type private] [version {3.0 | 3.1 | 4.0}] |
|
| 3. | ||
| 4. |
The following example shows how to change the default ATM interface type to private, using the atm uni type private command:

Note The 155-Mbps port adapter supports mixed mode. Port 0 is a single-mode interface and ports 1 through 3 are multimode interfaces.
The port adapter supports SC-type and unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) 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 rate. This feature is useful when communicating with a slow receiver or when connected to public networks with peak-rate tariffs.

The 16-port OC-3c MMF interface module provides short-reach intercampus and WAN ATM connections. The OC-3c interface module provides an interface to ATM switching fabrics for transmitting and receiving data bidirectionally at up to 155 Mbps. The OC-3c interface module can support interfaces that connect to the OC-3c MMF STS-3c/STM1 physical layer.
The Catalyst 8540 MSR supports up to eight OC-3c interface modules per chassis, with a maximum of 128 OC-3c interface ports.
Note You can configure traffic pacing on the interfaces to allow the aggregate output traffic rate on any interface to be set to a rate below the line rate. This feature is useful when communicating with a slow receiver or when connected to public networks with peak-rate tariffs.

The ATM router module allows you to integrate Layer 3 switching and ATM switching within a single chassis, which eliminates the need to purchase a separate chassis for each technology. When the ATM router module is installed, you no longer need to choose either Layer 3 or ATM technology, as is frequently the case with enterprise campus and MAN applications. You can have both Layer 3 and ATM technologies within the same multiservice ATM switch router chassis.
The ATM router module separates the control and data path so that all LANE control messages are handled by the ATM switch processor, and data messages are switched on the ATM router module port. The LEC is configured on the ATM router module interface, but control message traffic is sent to the ATM switch processor by the ATM router module. All control signals are routed by the ATM router module to the appropriate VCs.
The ATM router module offers the following benefits:
The following hardware restrictions apply:
The following software restrictions apply:
The only features you can configure directly on the ATM router module interfaces are:
Otherwise, the ATM router module operates as a passive device.
Note This document describes how to configure ATM software features only. For information on how to configure the Layer 3 modules that interoperate with the ATM router module in the Catalyst 8540 MSR chassis refer to the Layer 3 Switching Software Feature and Configuration Guide, which is available on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your ATM switch router, online at Cisco Connection Online, or you can order a hard copy separately.
The ATM router module has two internal interfaces, but no external ports. Use the interface atm card/subcard/port command to specify these interfaces.
This section describes the default ATM router module interface configuration and how to change the configuration manually.
The following defaults are assigned to both ATM router module interfaces:
To manually change the default configuration values, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
The following example shows how to change the default number of active VCI bits:
The procedures for configuring LANE clients on the ATM router module are the same as the configuration for LANE clients on the route processor, with one exception. To specify an ATM router module interface, rather than the route processor interface, use the interface atm card/subcard/port command. On the route processor, you would use the interface atm 0 command.
Note To route traffic between an emulated LAN and a Fast Ethernet (FE) or Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interface, you must configure the LANE client on an ATM router module interface rather than a route processor interface.
To specify the ATM router module interface, use the following command in global configuration mode:
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
Specifies the ATM interface on the ATM router module and enters interface configuration mode. |
The following example shows how to configure two LECs on an ATM router module interface:
For more information on configuring LANE clients on ATM router module interfaces, see the section "Configuring a LAN Emulation Client on the ATM Switch Router" in the chapter "Configuring LAN Emulation."
Table 17-1 describes commands that you can use to confirm that the hardware, software, and interfaces for the ATM switch router are configured as intended:
