ATM Module Management

This chapter provides basic configuration and management information for the ATM modules and describes the command-line interface (CLI) used to configure the ATM modules for the Catalyst 5000 and 6000 family switches.

Note For descriptions of all ATM commands, see "Command Reference."

This chapter consists of these sections:

• ATM Module CLI Overview

• Accessing the ATM Module CLI

• Operating the ATM Module CLI

• Downloading System Software Images to the ATM Modules

• Performing ATM Module Functions

• Configuring PHY Redundancy

• Configuring Basic ATM Parameters

• Displaying ATM Module Statistics and Information

ATM Module CLI Overview

The ATM modules use a subset of the Cisco IOS software. The Cisco IOS user interface provides access to several different command modes. Each command mode provides a group of related commands.

Cisco IOS software provides two command access modes: user EXEC and privileged EXEC. The user EXEC mode does not require a password and allows you direct access only to the ATM module with which you have established a session. The user EXEC mode commands are a subset of the privileged EXEC mode commands.

The privileged EXEC mode requires a password (the default password is atm). From the privileged level, you can access the six configuration modes:

•User EXEC

•Privileged EXEC

•Global configuration

•Interface configuration

•Line configuration

•LAN Emulation (LANE) database configuration

Enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to display the available commands for the current command mode.

Almost every configuration command has a no form. The no form disables a feature or function. Enter the command without the keyword no to reenable a disabled feature or to enable a feature that is disabled by default. See "Command Reference" for more information about the ATM module commands.

The user interface also provides context-sensitive help on command syntax. For information on how to use the help system, see the "Getting Context-Sensitive Help" section. The user interface also describes the command editing and command history features that allow you to recall previous command entries and easily edit command entries.

Accessing the ATM Module CLI

To access an ATM module installed in a Catalyst 5000 or 6000 family switch, enter the session mod_num command at the Console> prompt. The switch responds with the Enter Password prompt. Enter atm as the default password. The ATM module responds with the ATM> prompt. At this point, you are in user EXEC command mode, and you have direct access only to the ATM module with which you have established a session.

This example shows how to open a session on an ATM module installed in slot 4:

Console> session 4
Enter Password:
ATM>

Operating the ATM Module CLI

This section describes the command modes and functions that allow you to access and operate the ATM module CLI. Table 2-1 lists the command modes, how to access each mode, the prompt you see while you are in that mode, the main uses for each configuration mode, and the method to exit that mode. The prompts listed assume the default name ATM.

Table 2-1 ATM Module Command Mode Summary 

Command Mode
Access Method
Prompt
Exit Method

User EXEC

Enter the session command in the switch CLI.

ATM>

Enter the logout command.

Privileged EXEC

From user EXEC mode, enter the enable EXEC command. Enter the enable password at the prompt (default is atm).

ATM#

Enter the disable command.

Global configuration

From privileged EXEC mode, enter the configure privileged EXEC command.

ATM(config)#

Enter the exit or end command, or press Ctrl-Z

Interface configuration

From global configuration mode, enter the interface interface_num command.

ATM (config-if)#

To exit to global configuration mode, enter the end command.

To exit to privileged EXEC mode, enter the exit command, or press Ctrl-Z.

Subinterface configuration

From interface configuration mode, enter the interface sub_interface_num command.

ATM (config-subif)#

To exit to global configuration mode, enter the end command.

To exit to privileged EXEC mode, enter the exit command, or press Ctrl-Z.

Line configuration

From global configuration mode, enter the line line_number command.

ATM (config-line)#

To exit to global configuration mode, enter the exit command.

LANE database configuration

From global configuration mode, enter the lane database command.

ATM (config-if)#

To exit to global configuration mode, enter the exit command.

To exit to privileged EXEC mode, enter the end command, or press Ctrl-Z.


Accessing User EXEC Mode

After you log in to the ATM module, you are automatically in user EXEC command mode. The user EXEC commands are a subset of the privileged EXEC commands. The user EXEC commands allow you to change terminal settings on a temporary basis, perform basic tests, and list system information.

To list the commands available in user EXEC mode, enter a question mark (?) at the ATM> prompt.

Accessing Privileged EXEC Mode

Because many privileged commands set operating parameters, use password protection to restrict access to privileged EXEC mode. The privileged EXEC command set includes those commands in user EXEC mode, as well as the configure command through which you can access the remaining command modes. Privileged EXEC mode also includes high-level testing commands, such as debug.

To access and list the privileged EXEC commands, perform this task:

 
Task
Command

Step 1 

Enter privileged EXEC mode.

enable password

Step 2 

List privileged EXEC commands.

?

If the system administrator has set a password, you are prompted to enter it before you are allowed access to privileged EXEC mode. The password is not displayed on the screen and is case sensitive. If an enable password has not been set, you can only access privileged EXEC mode from the console. The default password for the ATM module is atm.

This example shows how to access privileged EXEC mode:

ATM> enable
Password:
ATM#


From privileged EXEC mode, you can access global configuration mode. For instructions, see the "Accessing Global Configuration Mode" section.

To return from privileged EXEC mode to user EXEC mode, perform this task:

Task
Command

Exit privileged EXEC mode and return to user EXEC mode.

disable


Accessing Global Configuration Mode

Global configuration commands apply to features that affect the ATM module as a whole. To enter global configuration mode, enter the configure privileged EXEC command. When you enter this command, the privileged EXEC mode prompts you for the source of the configuration commands, as follows:

Configuring from terminal, memory, or network [terminal]?

Note Only the write memory and write terminal commands are supported. The write network command is not supported.

You can specify either the terminal or NVRAM as the source of configuration commands (refer to the Cisco IOS configuration guide and command reference publications for complete information on Cisco IOS commands). The default is to enter commands from the console terminal. Press Return to enter terminal configuration mode.

To access and list the global configuration commands, perform this task:

 
Task
Command

Step 1 

At the console terminal, from privileged EXEC mode, enter global configuration mode.

configure terminal

Step 2 

List the global configuration commands.

?

This example shows how to access global configuration mode:

ATM#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
ATM(config)#


To exit global configuration command mode and return to privileged EXEC mode, perform this task using one of these commands:

Task
Command

Exit global configuration mode.

exit
end


Accessing Interface Configuration Mode

Interface configuration commands modify the operation of the ATM interface. Interface configuration commands always follow an interface global configuration command, which defines the interface type.

To access and list the interface configuration commands, perform this task:

 
Task
Command

Step 1 

Enter interface configuration mode.

interface atm01

Step 2 

List the interface configuration commands.

?

Step 3 

From interface configuration mode, enter subinterface configuration mode.

Step 4 

List the subinterface configuration commands.

?

1 Always specify ATM interface 0 for the ATM module.

This example shows how to access interface configuration mode:

ATM(config)#interface atm0
ATM(config-if)#


This example shows how to access subinterface configuration mode:

ATM(config-if)#interface atm0.1
ATM(config-subif)#


To exit interface configuration mode and return to global configuration mode, perform this task:

Task
Command

Exit interface configuration mode.

exit


To exit global configuration mode and return to privileged EXEC mode, perform this task:

Task
Command

Exit global configuration mode.

end


Accessing Line Configuration Mode

Line configuration commands modify the operation of a terminal line. Line configuration commands always follow a line command, which defines a line number. These commands change terminal parameter settings either on a line-by-line basis or for a range of lines.

To access and list the virtual terminal line configuration commands, perform this task:

 
Task
Command

Step 1 

From global configuration mode, configure a virtual terminal line.

line [vty] line-number [ending-line-number]1

Step 2 

List the line configuration commands.

?

1 This command is documented in the "Terminal Lines and Modem Support Commands" chapter in the Router Products Command Reference publication.

This example shows how to enter line configuration mode for virtual terminal line 4:

ATM(config)#line 0 4
ATM(config-line)#

To exit line configuration mode and return to global configuration mode, perform this task:

Task
Command

Exit line configuration mode.

exit


To exit global configuration mode and return to privileged EXEC mode, perform this task using one of these commands:

Task
Command

Exit global configuration mode.

end
Ctrl-Z


Downloading System Software Images to the ATM Modules

This section contains the following subsections:

• Preparing to Download an Image

• Downloading ATM Module Images

• Example Download Procedures

You can download system software images to the ATM modules using the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) or Remote Copy Protocol (rcp). Both methods allow you to download image files over the network from a server.

When you download a software image file to an ATM module, the switch checks the header of the image file to determine the type of software image.

When you download ATM module software images, you can either specify the module to which the image file should be downloaded or not specify the module, in which case the software image is downloaded to all ATM modules installed in the switch. The file is relayed packet by packet to the appropriate modules using the Inter-Process Communications protocol internal to the system, with communication taking place across the switching bus. Downloading a software image to multiple modules significantly speeds up the process of updating the software on multiple modules of the
same type.

Preparing to Download an Image

Before you begin downloading a software image, make sure of the following:

•Ensure that the workstation acting as the TFTP or rcp server is configured properly.

•Ensure that the switch has a route to the server. The switch and the server must be in the same subnetwork if you do not have a router to route traffic between subnets. Check connectivity to the TFTP server using the ping command.

•Ensure that the software image to be downloaded is in the correct directory on the server (for example, /tftpboot on a UNIX workstation).

•Ensure that the permissions on the file are set correctly. Permissions on the file should be world-read.

Note On a Catalyst 6500 series switch, enter the session command (see the "Accessing the ATM Module CLI" section) and use these Cisco IOS procedures to copy the Cisco IOS software image:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121cgcr/fun_c/fcprt2/fcd203.htm

Downloading ATM Module Images

Use this procedure to download a software image to an intelligent module on a Catalyst 5000 family switch:

Step 1 Copy the software image file to the appropriate directory on the workstation.

Step 2 Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet session. If you log in using Telnet, your Telnet session might disconnect when you reset modules to run the new software.

Step 3 Use the command appropriate for your switch and supervisor engine to download the software image from the TFTP server:

•Catalyst 5000 family Supervisor Engine III and III F

–If there is only one module of the type appropriate for the image, or if there are multiple modules of the same type and you want to update the image on all of them, enter the copy
tftp | rcp flash command. When prompted, enter the IP address or host name of the TFTP server, the name of the file to download, the Flash device to which to copy the file, and the destination filename.

–If there are multiple modules of the type appropriate for the image but you only want to update a single module, enter the copy tftp m/bootflash: | rcp m/bootflash:command, where m is the number of the module to which to download the software image.

•Catalyst 5000 family Supervisor Engine II, II G, and III G

–If there is only one module of the type appropriate for the image, or if there are multiple modules of the same type and you want to update the image on all of them, enter the download host file command, where host is the IP address or host name of the server and file is the name of the file to download.

–If there are multiple modules of the type appropriate for the image but you only want to update a single module, enter the download host file mod_num command, where mod_num is the slot in which the module is installed.

Note If you do not specify a module number, the switch examines the header of the image file to determine to which modules the software is downloaded. The image is then downloaded to all the modules of that type.

The switch downloads the image file, erases the Flash memory on the appropriate modules, and reprograms the Flash memory with the downloaded Flash code.

Note All modules in the switch remain operational while the image downloads.

Step 4 Reset the appropriate modules using the reset mod_num command. If you are connected through Telnet, your Telnet session disconnects if you reset the module through which your connection was made.

Step 5 When the upgraded modules come online, enter the show version [mod_num] command to check the version of the code on the switch.

Note For examples that show complete procedures for downloads to intelligent modules, see the "Example Single Intelligent Module Image Download (Catalyst 5000 Family Supervisor II, II G, or III G)" section, the "Example Multiple Module Image Download (Supervisor II, II G, or III G)" section, the "Example Single Module Image Download (Supervisor III or III F)" section and the "Example Multiple Module Image Download (Supervisor III or III F)" section.

Performing ATM Module Functions

This section describes how to perform the following functions:

• Getting Context-Sensitive Help

• Checking Command Syntax

• Using the Command History Features

• Using the Editing Features

• Ending a Session

Getting Context-Sensitive Help

You can get a list of the associated keywords and arguments for any command by using the context-sensitive help feature.

To get help specific to a command mode, a command, a keyword, or arguments, perform one of
these tasks:

Task
Command

•Obtain a brief description of the help system in any command mode.

help

•Configure a line or lines to receive help for the full set of user-level commands when you enter ?.

full-help

•Configure a line to receive help for the full set of user-level commands for this EXEC session.

terminal full-help1

•Obtain a list of commands that begin with a particular character string.

abbreviated-command-entry?

•Complete a partial command name.

abbreviated-command-entry<Tab>

•List all commands available for a particular command mode.

?

•List the associated keywords for a command.

command ?

•List the associated arguments for a keyword.

command keyword ?

1 This command is documented in the Cisco Access Connection Guide.


When using context-sensitive help, the space (or lack of a space) before the question mark (?)
is significant.

To obtain a list of commands that begin with a particular character sequence, enter the characters immediately followed by the question mark (?). Do not include a space. This form of help completes the word for you.

To list keywords or arguments, enter command syntax help by entering a question mark (?) in place of a keyword or argument. Include a space before the ?. This form of help reminds you which keywords or arguments are applicable based on the command, keywords, and arguments you have already entered.

You can abbreviate commands and keywords by using a number of characters that allow a unique abbreviation. For example, you can abbreviate the show command to sh.

Enter the help command (which is available in any command mode) for a brief description of the help system:

ATM#help
Help may be requested at any point in a command by entering
a question mark '?'. If nothing matches, the help list will
be empty and you must back up until entering a '?' shows the
available options.
Two styles of help are provided:
1. Full help is available when you are ready to enter a
command argument (e.g. 'show ?') and describes each possible
argument.
2. Partial help is provided when an abbreviated argument is entered
and you want to know what arguments match the input
(e.g. 'show pr?'.)

You can enter a partial command name and a question mark (?) to obtain a list of commands beginning with a particular character set. See the "Completing a Partial Command Name" section for more details.

This example shows how context-sensitive help enables you to create an access list from configuration mode. Enter co at the system prompt followed by a question mark (?). Do not leave a space between the last letter and the question mark (?). The system provides the commands that begin with co.

ATM#co?
configure connect copy

Enter the configure command followed by a space and a question mark (?) to list the command's keywords and a brief explanation:

ATM#configure ?
memory Configure from NV memory
network Configure from a TFTP network host
terminal Configure from the terminal
<cr>

Checking Command Syntax

An error indicator (^) symbol appears at the point in the command string where you have entered an incorrect command, keyword, or argument. The error location indicator and interactive help system allow you to easily find and correct syntax errors.

This example shows how to use context-sensitive help to determine how to clear an ATM interface.

First, check the syntax for the command:

ATM#clear ?
counters Clear counters on one or all interfaces
interface Clear the hardware logic on an interface
lane lane
line Reset a terminal line
logging Clear logging buffer
tcp Clear a TCP connection or statistics
ATM#

The help output shows that clear interface is the syntax for clearing an interface. Next, check the syntax for specifying the type of interface:

ATM#clear interface ?
ATM ATM interface
Ethernet IEEE 802.3
Null Null interface
ATM#clear interface

The help output shows that clear interface atm is the syntax for clearing an ATM interface. Next, check the syntax for specifying the specific ATM interface:

ATM#clear interface atm ?
<0-0> ATM interface number
ATM#clear interface atm

The help output shows you must specify the ATM interface number. When you specify the interface correctly, the ATM interface is cleared:

ATM#clear interface atm 0
ATM#

Using the Command History Features

The command history feature keeps a record of commands you have entered and allows you to recall these commands. The functions of the command history feature are as follows:

• Setting the Command History Buffer Size

• Recalling Commands

• Disabling the Command History Feature

Setting the Command History Buffer Size

By default, the system records ten command lines in its history buffer. To set the number of command lines the system records during the current terminal session, perform this task in user EXEC mode:

Task
Command

Enable the command history feature for the current terminal session.

terminal history [size number-of-lines]1

1 This command is documented in the Cisco Access Connection Guide.


The terminal no history size command resets the number of lines saved by history to the default of
ten lines.

To configure the number of command lines the system records, perform this task in line
configuration mode:

Task
Command

Enable the command history feature.

history [size number-of-lines]1

1 The no history command turns off command history for the line.


Recalling Commands

To recall commands from the history buffer, perform one of these tasks:

Task
Key Sequence/Command

•Recall commands in the history buffer, beginning with the most recent command. Repeat the key sequence to recall successively older commands.

Press Ctrl-P or the up arrow key1 .

•Return to more recent commands in the history buffer after recalling commands with Ctrl-P or the up arrow key. Repeat the key sequence to recall successively more recent commands.

Press Ctrl-N or the down arrow key1.

•In EXEC mode, list the last several commands you have just entered.

show history

1 The arrow keys function only on ANSI-compatible terminals such as VT100s.


Disabling the Command History Feature

The command history feature is enabled automatically. To disable it during the current terminal session, perform this task in user EXEC mode:

Task
Command

Disable the command history feature for the current session.

terminal no history1

1 This command is documented in the Cisco Access Connection Guide.


To configure a specific line so that the command history feature is disabled, perform this task in line configuration mode:

Task
Command

Configure the line so that the command history feature is disabled.

no history


Using the Editing Features

Catalyst 5000 family ATM software release 2.3 and above includes an enhanced editing mode that provides a set of editing key functions similar to those of the Emacs editor. You can enter commands in uppercase, lowercase, or a mix of both. Only passwords are case sensitive. You can abbreviate commands and keywords to the number of characters that allow a unique abbreviation.

For example, you can abbreviate the show command to sh. After entering the command at the system prompt, press Return to execute the command.

If your keyboard does not have a Tab key, press Ctrl-I instead.

In the following example, when you enter the letters conf and press the Tab key, the system provides the complete command:

ATM#conf<Tab>
ATM#configure


If you enter a set of characters that could indicate more than one command, the system beeps to indicate an error. Enter a question mark (?) to obtain a list of commands that begin with that set of characters. Do not leave a space between the last letter and the question mark (?). For example, three commands in privileged mode start with co. To see what they are, enter co? at the privileged EXEC prompt. The system displays all commands that begin with co, as follows:

ATM#co?
configure connect copy

Pasting in Buffer Entries

The system provides a buffer that contains the last ten items you deleted. You can recall these items and paste them in the command line by performing this task:

 
Task
Command

Step 1 

Recall the most recent entry in the buffer.

Press Ctrl-Y.

Step 2 

Recall the next buffer entry.

Press Esc Y.

The buffer contains only the last ten items you have deleted or cut. If you press Esc Y more than ten times, you cycle back to the first buffer entry.

Editing Command Lines That Wrap

The editing command set provides a wraparound feature for commands that extend beyond a single line on the screen. When the cursor reaches the right margin, the command line shifts ten spaces to the left. You cannot see the first ten characters of the line, but you can scroll back and check the syntax at the beginning of the command. To scroll back, perform this task:

Task
Keystrokes

Return to the beginning of a command line to verify that you have entered a lengthy command correctly.

Press Ctrl-B or the left arrow key repeatedly until you scroll back to the beginning of the command entry, or press Ctrl-A to return directly to the beginning of the line1 .

1 The arrow keys function only on ANSI-compatible terminals such as VT100s.


In this example, the lane config-atm-address command entry extends beyond one line. When the cursor reaches the end of the line, the line shifts ten spaces to the left and is redisplayed. The dollar sign ($) indicates that the line scrolled to the left. Each time the cursor reaches the end of the line, the line shifts ten spaces to the left.

ATM(config-subif)#lane config-atm-address 39.000000000000014155551211.080020
ATM(config-subif)#$ -atm-address 39.000000000000014155551211.0800200c1001.00


When you complete the entry, press Ctrl-A to check the complete syntax, and then press Return to execute the command. The dollar sign ($) appears at the end of the line to indicate that the line scrolled to the right:

ATM(config-subif)#lane config-atm-address 39.000000000000014155551211.080020 $


The system assumes your terminal screen is 80 columns wide. If your screen has a different width, enter the terminal width command to tell the router the correct width of your screen.

Configuring PHY Redundancy

The Catalyst 5000 and 6000 families' dual physical-sublayer (dual PHY) ATM modules provide one active connection and one standby connection to the ATM network. You can connect both PHYs to a single ATM switch, or you can connect one PHY to one ATM switch and one PHY to a second ATM switch.

Only one PHY is active at a time. If the active PHY loses its connection, the ATM module switches automatically to the standby PHY. PHY A is the preferred PHY by default. You can change the preferred PHY using the atm preferred phy interface configuration command.

Release 12.0(4a)W5(10) and later supports the Fast PHY switchover feature on the ATM modules. Fast switchover reduces the time to restore traffic flow when traffic switches from the active PHY to the redundant PHY.

To change the preferred PHY on the dual PHY ATM modules, perform this task in interface configuration mode:

Task
Command

Change the preferred PHY to the one not currently in use.

atm preferred phy {A | B}


This example shows how to change the preferred PHY to PHY B:

ATM#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
ATM(config)#interface atm0
ATM(config-if)#atm preferred phy B
ATM(config-if)#^Z
ATM#

The show interface command displays the preferred and active PHY:

ATM#

Setting the Clock Source

You can configured the ATM modules on the Catalyst 5000 family and 2926G series switches to generate the transmit clock from its internal source or to set the clock-generation mode to receive timing from an external source. By default, the ATM module generates the transmit clock signal from its internal source. The default is loop-timed clock mode for the ATM dual PHY OC-3 modules (WS-X5167 and WS-X5168).

Note The atm clock internal and the no atm clock internal commands are not supported by the ATM dual PHY OC-12 modules.

To change the clock source, perform this task in interface configuration mode:

 
Task
Command

Step 1 

Enter configuration mode.

configure terminal

Step 2 

Select the ATM interface.

interface atm0

Step 3 

Set the clock source

[no] atm clock internal

Step 4 

Exit configuration mode.

Ctrl-Z

This example shows how to set the ATM module to generate the transmit clock from its internal source:

ATM(config-if)#atm clock internal
ATM(config-if)#

This example shows how to set the ATM module to generate the transmit clock from an external source:

ATM(config-if)#no atm clock internal
ATM(config-if)#

Configuring Mode

You can configure the mode of operation and control type for cell-rate decoupling on the SONET PLIM using the atm sonet command. The default mode is STS-3c operation for the ATM dual PHY OC-3 modules and STS-12c operation for the ATM dual PHY OC-12 modules.

To configure the mode of operation, perform this task in interface configuration mode:

 
Task
Command

Step 1 

Enter configuration mode.

This example shows how to set the mode for cell-rate decoupling on the SONET PLIM to stm-1:

ATM (config-if)#atm sonet stm-1
ATM (config-if)#

Configuring Output Throttling

You can configure output throttling on the ATM modules to control the transmission rate on the ATM interface. Output throttling applies to both LANE and PVCs. Per-VC pacing is not supported on the modules.

To throttle the output of the entire interface, perform this task:

 
Task
Command

Step 1 

Enter configuration mode.

configure terminal

Step 2 

Select the ATM interface.

interface atm0

Step 3 

Apply output throttling to the interface.

atm traffic-shape rate peak_rate

Step 4

This example shows how to return the output of the ATM module interface to the default value:

ATM#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
ATM(config)#interface atm0
ATM(config-if)#no atm traffic-shape rate 100
ATM(config-if)#^Z
ATM#

Configuring ILMI Keepalives

When you enable Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI) keepalives on a dual PHY ATM module, periodic ILMI keepalive messages are sent to the ATM switch on the active PHY. The ATM switch responds to the ILMI keepalives.

If the ATM switch fails to respond to four consecutive keepalives, the dual PHY module switches from the active PHY to the backup PHY. The ILMI keepalives feature is useful only if the dual PHY module is connected to two different ATM switches. ILMI keepalives are disabled by default.

To enable ILMI keepalives and configure the interval between messages, perform this task:

 
Task
Command

Step 1 

Enter configuration mode.

configure terminal

Step 2 

Select the ATM interface.

interface atm0

Step 3 

Enable ILMI keepalives and specify the message interval.

atm ilmi-keepalive [interval]

Step 4 

Exit configuration mode.

Ctrl-Z

Step 5 

Verify the output rate for the interface.

show atm ilmi-status

Note If you enable ILMI keepalives but do not specify the interval, the default value of
5 seconds applies.

This example shows how to enable ILMI keepalives and configure the interval between messages to
4 seconds:

ATM#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
ATM(config)#interface atm0
ATM(config-if)#atm ilmi-keepalive 4
ATM(config-if)#^Z
ATM#

The following show atm ilmi-status command displays the ILMI keepalive configuration:

ATM(config-if)#no atm ilmi-keepalive
ATM(config-if)#^Z
ATM#

Configuring the UNI Signaling Version

The ATM modules are backward compatible with ATM switches that support User-Network Interface (UNI) version 3.0. When the ATM module comes online, ILMI negotiates between the UNI version automatically.

If the UNI version is successfully learned through ILMI, the ATM module accepts the UNI version returned from the ATM switch. If ILMI is unable to determine the UNI version, or if ILMI is disabled, the UNI version defaults to version 3.0.

To statically configure the UNI version, perform this task:

 
Task
Command

Step 1 

Enter configuration mode.

configure terminal

Step 2 

Select the ATM interface.

interface atm0

Step 3 

Shut down the interface.

shutdown

Step 4 

Statically configure the UNI version for the ATM interface.

atm uni-version {3.0 | 3.1}

Step 5 

Bring up the interface.

no shutdown

Step 6 

Exit configuration mode.

Ctrl-Z

Step 7 

Verify the UNI version.
