M


mac-address


Note      This command or some of its parameters might not function as expected in the LightStream 1010 ATM switch environment.


Use the mac-address interface configuration command to set the MAC layer address.

mac-address ieee-address
Syntax Description

ieee-address

48-bit IEEE MAC address written as a dotted triplet of 4-digit hexadecimal numbers.

Default

No MAC layer address is set.

Command Mode

Interface configuration.

Usage Guidelines

There is a known defect in earlier forms of this command of the Texas Instruments (TI) Token Ring MAC firmware. This implementation is used by Proteon, Apollo, and IBM RTs. A host using a MAC address whose first two bytes are zeros (such as a Cisco switch/bridge) do not properly communicate with hosts using that form of this command of TI firmware.

The first solution involves installing a static RIF entry for every faulty node with which the switch communicates. This might not be practical if there are a lot of faulty nodes. The second solution involves setting the MAC address of the Cisco Token Ring to a value that works around the problem.

This command forces the use of a different MAC address on the specified interface, which avoids the TI MAC firmware problem. It is up to the network administrator to ensure that no other host on the network is using that MAC address.

Example

The following example sets the MAC layer address, where xx.xxxx is an appropriate second half of the MAC address to use.

Switch(config)# interface atm 3/1/0
Switch(config-if)# interface tokenring 0
Switch(config-if)# mac-address 5000.5axx.xxxx

map-class

To enter map-class configuration mode to define quality of service (QOS) parameters that are associated with a static map for an SVC, use the map-class global configuration command. The no form of this command deletes this class.

map-class encapsulation class-name
no map-class encapsulation class-name
Syntax Description

encapsulation

Encapsulation type is ATM.

class-name

User-assigned name of the QOS parameters table.

Default

No QOS parameters are defined.

Command Mode

Global configuration.

Usage Guidelines

If the map class identified by class-name does not already exist, the switch creates a new one. In either case, this command specifies the map class to which subsequent encapsulation-specific commands apply. Configuration of a map class is allowed only if the subsystem corresponding to the encapsulation is linked.

It is up to the media-specific routing that uses a static map to ensure that the referenced class exists if parameters are required.

Example

The following example establishes QOS parameters for map-class atmclass1.

Switch# map-list atmlist
ip 172.21.180.121 atm-nsap 12.3456.7890.abcd.0000.00 broadcast class atmclass1
map-class atm atmclass1
atm forward-peak-cell-rate-clp0 8000
atm backward-peak-cell-rate-clp0 8000
interface atm 2/0/0
map-group atmlist
Related Command

show atm map

map-group

To associate an ATM map list to an interface or subinterface for either a PVC or SVC, use the map-group interface configuration command. The no form of this command removes the reference to the map list.

map-group name
no map-group name
Syntax Description

name

Name of the map list identified by the map-list command.

Default

No ATM map lists are associated.

Command Mode

Interface configuration.

Usage Guidelines

More than one map-group can be configured for an interface.

Example

In the following example, the map list named ATM is associated with the ATM interface.

Switch(config)# interface atm 3/1/0
Switch(config-if)# map-group atm
Related Command

map-class

map-list

To define an ATM map statement for either a PVC or SVC, use the map-list global configuration command. The no form of this command deletes this list and all associated map statements.

map-list name
no map-list name
Syntax Description

name

Name of the map list.

Default

No map statements are defined.

Command Mode

Global configuration.

Usage Guidelines

This command only applies to the interfaces on the ASP card, Ethernet 2/0/0 or ATM 2/0/0, and is only relevant to terminating connections. To allow the switch to propagate routing updates and ARP requests, a static map that maps the protocol address and the ATM address of the next-hop ATM station must be configured. The switch supports a mapping scheme that identifies the ATM address of remote hosts or switches. This address can be specified either as a virtual channel identifier descriptor (vci) for a PVC or an NSAP address for an SVC.

The map-list command specifies the map list to which the subsequent map-list configuration commands apply. These map-list configuration commands identify destination addresses. One map list can contain multiple map entries. A map list can be referenced by more than one interface or subinterface.

Examples

In the following example for a PVC, to configure ATM static maps, a map list named ATM is followed by two map statements for protocol addresses being mapped.

Switch# map-list atm
ip 172.21.168.112 atm-vc 1 broadcast

In the following example for an SVC, a map list named ATM includes two map statements for protocol addresses being mapped.

Switch# map-list atm
ip 172.21.97.165 atm-nsap BC.CDEF.01.234567.890A.BCDE.F012.3456.7890.1234.13
ip 172.21.97.166 atm-nsap BC.CDEF.01.234567.890A.BCDE.F012.3456.7890.1234.12

max-admin-weight-percentage

To configure the maximum administrative weight percentage used to determine if an alternate route is acceptable, use the max-admin-weight-percentage ATM router PNNI configuration command. To remove the constraint on administrative weight for alternate routes, use the no form of this command.

max-admin-weight-percentage percentage
no max-admin-weight-percentage
Syntax Description

percentage

Specifies the maximum acceptable administrative weight for alternate routes as a percentage of the least administrative weight of any route to the destination.

Default

Infinity (no constraint on administrative weight for alternate routes).

Command Mode

ATM router PNNI configuration.

Usage Guidelines

This command increases network efficiency by preventing alternate routes that use too many network resources from being specified. The command provides a generalized form of a hop count limit.

This command only takes effect when background route computation is enabled.

The maximum acceptable administrative weight is equal to the specified percentage of the least administrative weight of any route to the destination (from the background routing tables). For example, if the least administrative weight to the destination is 5040 and the percentage is 300, the maximum acceptable administrative weight for the call is 5040x300/100 or 15120.

For more information refer, to the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Configuration Guide.

Example

The following script shows how to configure the max-admin-weight-percentage to 300 percent using the max-admin-weight-percentage ATM router PNNI configuration command.

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# atm router pnni
Switch(config-atm-router)# max-admin-weight-percentage 300

modem answer-timeout

To set the amount of time that the switch waits for CTS after raising DTR in response to RING, use the modem answer-timeout line configuration command. Use the no form of this command to revert the switch to the default value.

modem answer-timeout seconds
no modem answer-timeout
Syntax Description

seconds

Specifies the timeout interval in seconds.

Default

15 seconds.

Command Mode

Line configuration.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to the auxiliary port only. It is useful for modems that take a long time to synchronize to the appropriate line speed.

Example

The following example sets the timeout interval to 20 seconds.

Switch(config)# line aux 0
Switch(config-line)# modem answer-timeout 20
Related Commands

modem callin
modem inout

modem callin

To support dial-in modems that use DTR to control the off-hook status of the modem, use the modem callin line configuration command. In response to RING, the modem raises the DTR signal, which answers the modem. At the end of the session, the switch lowers DTR, which disconnects the modem. The no form of this command disables this feature.

modem callin
no modem callin
Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

No modem control.

Command Mode

Line configuration.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to the auxiliary port only.

Example

The following example causes the modem connected to the switch to raise DTR in response to RING.

Switch(config)# line aux 0
Switch(config-line)# modem callin
Related Commands

logout
modem inout

modem callout

To configure a line for reverse connections, use the modem callout line configuration command. The no form of this command disables this feature.

modem callout
no modem callout
Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

No modem control.

Command Mode

Line configuration.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to the auxiliary port only and supports ports connected to computers that are designed to be connected to modems.

Example

The following example configures the line for reverse connections.

Switch(config)# line aux 0
Switch(config-line)# modem callout
Related Command

modem inout

modem cts-required

To configure a line to require a CTS signal, use the modem cts-required line configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable this feature.

modem cts-required
no modem cts-required
Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

No modem control.

Command Mode

Line configuration.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to the auxiliary port only. It supports lines that either the user or the network can activate. It is useful for closing connections from a user's terminal when the terminal is turned off and for preventing disabled printers and other devices in a rotary group from being considered.

Example

The following example configures a line to require a CTS signal.

Switch(config)# line aux 0
Switch(config-line)# modem cts-required
Related Command

rotary

modem dtr-active

To configure a line to leave DTR low unless the line has an active incoming connection or an EXEC process, use the modem dtr-active line configuration command. The no form of this command disables this feature.

modem dtr-active
no modem dtr-active
Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

No modem control.

Command Mode

Line configuration.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to the auxiliary port only. It can be useful if the line is connected to an external device (for example, a timesharing system) that needs to know whether a line is in active use. The modem dtr-active command is similar to the no modem line configuration command.

Example

The following example illustrates how to configure the auxiliary port for low DTR.

Switch(config)# line aux 0
Switch(config-line)# modem dtr-active

modem inout

To configure a line for both incoming and outgoing calls, use the modem inout line configuration command. The no form of this command disables this feature.

modem inout
no modem inout
Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

No modem control.

Command Mode

Line configuration.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to the auxiliary port only.

Example

The following example illustrates how to configure the auxiliary port for both incoming and outgoing calls.

Switch(config)# line aux 0
Switch(config-line)# modem in-out
Related Command

password

mtu

To adjust the maximum packet size or maximum transmission unit (MTU) size, use the mtu interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to restore the MTU value to its original default value.

mtu bytes
no mtu
Syntax Description

bytes

Desired size in bytes.

Defaults

Table 11-1 lists default MTU values according to media type.

Table 11-1   Default Media MTU Values

Media Type Default MTU

Ethernet

1500

ATM

4470

Command Mode

Interface configuration.

Usage Guidelines

This command only applies to the ASP interface card: Ethernet 2/0/0 or ATM 2/0/0. Each interface has a default maximum packet size or maximum transmission unit (MTU) size. This number generally defaults to the largest size possible for that type interface.


Note      Changing the MTU value with the mtu interface configuration command can affect values for the protocol-specific versions of the command (ip mtu for example). If the value specified with the ip mtu interface configuration command is the same as the value specified with the mtu interface configuration command and you change the value for the mtu interface configuration command, the ip mtu value automatically matches the new mtu value. However, changing the value for the ip mtu configuration commands has no effect on the value for the mtu command.


Example

The following example specifies an MTU of 4470 bytes.

Switch# interface atm 2/0/0
Switch(config-if)# mtu 4470
Related Command

ip mtu
