Configuring In-Band Management

This chapter describes how to configure in-band management on Cisco DSLAMs with NI-2.

This chapter includes the sections:

• Configuring In-Band Management

• Mapping a Protocol Address to a PVC

Configuring In-Band Management

The DSLAM allows in-band management via the trunk interface. In-band management uses the IP over ATM protocol. The DSLAM is a client in an IP over ATM environment; it provides none of the ARP server functions found in the LS1010. SNMP is used above the IP layer to provide management functionality. This section describes configuring a port on a switch to allow in-band management of the switch CPU.

Configuring In-Band Management in an SVC Environment

This section describes in-band management in an SVC environment. In-band management requires configuring the DSLAM with its own ATM address and that of a single ATM Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) server.

In-band management in an SVC environment is configured by the DSLAM in the following process:

Step 1 The initial IP packet sent by client A triggers a request to the ARP server to look up the IP address and the corresponding ATM address of client B in the ARP server ARP table.

Step 2 The ARP server sends back a response to client A with the matching ATM address.

Step 3 Client A uses the ATM address it just obtained from the ARP server to set up an SVC directly to client B.

Step 4 When client B replies with an IP packet to client A, it also triggers a query to the ARP server.

Note When client B receives the ATM address for client A, it usually discovers it already has a call set up to client A's ATM address and does not set up another call.

After the connection is known to both clients, they communicate directly over the SVC.

The ATM ARP client (the DSLAM) tries to maintain a connection to the ATM ARP server. The ATM ARP server can remove the connection, but the client attempts once each minute to bring the connection back up. No error messages are generated for a failed connection, but the client does not route packets until the ATM ARP server is connected and translates IP network addresses.

For each packet with an unknown IP address, the client (the DSLAM) sends an ATM ARP request to the ARP server. Until that address is resolved, any IP packet routed to the ATM interface causes the client to send another ATM ARP request.

Configuring ATM ARP

In an SVC environment, configure the ATM ARP mechanism on the interface by performing these tasks, beginning in global configuration mode:

Step
Command
Task

1.

interface atm slot/port[.sub_inter#]

Select the interface to be configured.

2.

atm nsap-address nsap-address
or

atm esi-address esi-address

Specify the NSAP ATM address of the interface.
or
Specify the end-system-identifier (ESI) address of the interface.

3.

ip address address mask

Specify the IP address of the interface.

4.

atm arp-server nsap nsap-address

Specify the ATM address of the ATM ARP server.

5.

exit

Exit interface configuration mode.

6.

atm route {addr-prefix1 } atm 0/0 internal

Configure a static route through the switch to the CPU interface. See the note.

1 First 19 bytes of the NSAP address.


Note You need to specify only a static route when configuring an ARP client using a network service access point (NSAP) address.

NSAP Address Example

This example shows how to configure CPU interface 0/0 of client A using the NSAP address:

Client A(config)# interface atm 0/0
Client A(config-if)# $dress 47.0091.8100.0000.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.00
Client A(config-if)# ip address 123.233.45.1 255.255.255.0
Client A(config-if)# $dress 47.0091.8100.0000.1111.1111.1111.2222.2222.2222.00
Client A(config-if)# exit
Client A(config)# $0.0000.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111 atm 0/0 internal

These commands:

1. Identify CPU interface 0/0 for configuration.

2. Configure the interface as an ATM ARP client with NSAP address 47.0091.8100.0000.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.00.

3. Configure the IP address as 123.322.45.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

4. Configure the ARP server NSAP address as 47.0091.8100.0000.1111.1111.1111.2222.2222.2222.00.

5. Exit interface configuration mode.

6. Configure an internal static route with an NSAP address of 47.0091.8100.0000.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.00 to ATM interface 0/0.

Note In the preceding example, some of the commands extended beyond the single line of the screen and the command line shifted ten spaces to the left. The dollar sign ($) indicates this shift.

ESI Example

This example shows how to configure CPU interface 0/0 of client A (Figure 13-1), using the ESI:

Client A(config)# interface atm 0/0
Client A(config-if)# atm esi-address 0041.0b0a.1081.40
Client A(config-if)# ip address 123.233.45.1 255.255.255.0
Client A(config-if)# $7.0091.8100.0000.1111.1111.1111.2222.2222.2222.00
Client A(config-if)# exit

These commands:

1. Identify CPU interface 0/0 for configuration.

2. Configure the interface as an ATM ARP client with end-system identifier 0041.0b0a.1081.40.

3. Configure the interface IP address as 123.233.45.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

4. Specify the ARP server NSAP address as 47.0091.8100.0000.1111.1111.1111.2222.2222.2222.00

Note In the preceding example, one command extended beyond the single line of the screen and the command line shifted ten spaces to the left. The dollar sign ($) indicates this shift.

Show ATM ARP Example

In this example, the show atm arp command displays the configuration of the switch interface 0/0:

Switch# show atm arp

Note that a '*' next to an IP address indicates an active call

IP Address TTL ATM Address
ATM0/0:
* 10.0.0.5 19:21 4700918100567000000000112200410b0a108140

Show ATM MAP Example

This example displays the map-list configuration of the switch static map and IP-over-ATM interfaces:

Switch# show atm map
Map list ATM0/0_ATM_ARP : DYNAMIC
arp maps to NSAP 36.0091810000000003D5607900.0003D5607900.00
, connection up, VPI=0 VCI=73, ATM0/0
ip 5.1.1.98 maps to NSAP 36.0091810000000003D5607900.0003D5607900.00
, broadcast, connection up, VPI=0 VCI=77, ATM0/0

Map list ip : PERMANENT
ip 5.1.1.99 maps to VPI=0 VCI=200

Configuring In-Band Management in a PVC Environment

This section describes how to configure in-band management in a PVC environment. The ATM Inverse ARP mechanism is applicable to networks that use PVCs, where connections are established but the network addresses of the remote ends are not known.

In a PVC environment, configure the ATM Inverse ARP mechanism by performing the tasks:

Step
Command
Task

1.

interface atm slot/port

Select the interface to be configured.

2.

ip address address mask

Specify the IP address of the interface.

3.

atm pvc vpi vci encap aal5snap [inarp minutes]

Create a PVC and enable Inverse ARP on it.


Repeat these tasks for each PVC you want to create.

The inarp minutes interval specifies how often Inverse ARP datagrams are sent on this virtual circuit. The default value is 15 minutes.

Note The ATM ARP and Inverse ATM ARP mechanisms work with IP only. All other protocols require map-list command entries to operate.

Example

This example configures an IP-over-ATM interface in a PVC environment and displays the map-list configuration of the switch static map and in-band management interfaces.

These commands:

1. Identify CPU interface 0/0 for configuration.

2. Configure the IP address on the interface as 11.11.11.11.

3. Create an ATM PVC with AAL5SNAP encapsulation, inverse ARP set to ten minutes, on ATM interface 0/0 VPI = 50 VCI = 100.

4. Display the in-band interface configuration.

DSLAM(config)# interface atm 0/0
DSLAM(config)# ip address 11.11.11.11
DSLAM(config-if)# atm pvc 0 100 encap aal5snap inarp 10 interface atm 0/0 50 100

DSLAM# show atm map
Map list yyy : PERMANENT
ip 1.1.1.2 maps to VPI=0 VCI=200

Map list zzz : PERMANENT

Map list a : PERMANENT

Map list 1 : PERMANENT

Map list ATM0/0_ATM_ARP : DYNAMIC
arp maps to NSAP 47.009181005670000000001122.00410B0A1081.40
, connection up, VPI=0 VCI=85, ATM0/0
ip 10.0.0.5 maps to NSAP 47.009181005670000000001122.00410B0A1081.40
, broadcast, ATM0/0

Mapping a Protocol Address to a PVC

The ATM interface supports a static mapping scheme that identifies the ATM address of remote hosts or switches. This IP address is specified as a PVC or as an NSAP address for SVC operation. Configuration for both PVC and SVC map lists are described in these sections:

•Configuring a PVC-Based Map List

•Configuring an SVC-Based Map List

Configuring a PVC-Based Map List

This section describes how to map a PVC to an address, which is a required task if you are configuring a PVC.

You can enter mapping commands as groups. To do so, create a map list and then associate the map list with an interface. Begin with these tasks:

Step

Enter the map group name associated with this PVC.

5.

atm pvc vpi vci [encap aal5lane aal5mux aal5snap] [upc upc] [pd pd] [rx-cttr index] [tx-cttr index] interface atm slot/port[.sub_inter#] vpi vci [upc upc]

Configure the PVC.

6.
