Use the commands in this chapter to configure the Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS), a wide-area networking service offered by some Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) and MCI.
For SMDS configuration information and examples, refer to the Communication Server Configuration Guide.
Use the following variation of the arp interface configuration command to enable ARP entries for static routing over the SMDS network. Use the no arp command to disable this capability.
arp IP-address SMDS-address smds| IP-address | The IP address. |
| SMDS-address | The SMDS address. |
| smds | Enables ARP for SMDS. |
None
Interface configuration
The following example sets a static ARP entry for routing from IP network 131.108.173.28 to SMDS address C141.5797.1313 on interface serial 0:

Use the smds address interface configuration command to specify the SMDS individual address for a particular interface. Use the no smds address command to remove the address from the configuration file.
smds address SMDS-address| SMDS-address | An individual address provided by the SMDS service provider. This address is protocol independent. See the "Usage Guidelines" section for more information. |
None
Interface configuration
All addresses for SMDS service are assigned by the service provider, and can be assigned to individuals and groups.
A multicast address is entered in the Cisco SMDS configuration software using the standard E prefixes. The E1 prefix specifies North American addresses; the E0 prefix specifies European addresses. A unicast address is entered in the Cisco SMDS configuration software using the standard C prefixes. The C1 prefix specifies North American addresses; the C0 prefix specifies European addresses.
The Cisco software expects the addresses to be entered in a slightly modified E.164 format. E.164 format is 64 bits. The first 4 bits are type code followed by 4 bits of country code, followed by 10 BCD digits with the final 16 bits all ones. The full E.164 address is not required. The trailing FFFFs are not needed. They are not displayed and it is not necessary to type them when entering an address.
The following example shows how to specify an individual address in Ethernet-style notation:
interface serial 0
smds address c141.5797.1313
Use the smds dxi interface configuration command to reenable the DXI 3.2 support. Use the no smds dxi command to turn the DXI 3.2 support off.
smds dxiThis command has no arguments or keywords.
On
Interface configuration
Adding this command to the configuration enables the Data Exchange Interface (DXI) Version 3.2 mechanism and encapsulates SMDS packets in a DXI frame before they are transmitted. DXI3.2 adds an additional four bytes to the SMDS packet header to communicate with the SDSU. These bytes specify the frame type. The interface will expect all packets to arrive with DXI encapsulation.
The DXI 3.2 support also includes the heartbeat process as specified in the SIG-TS-001/1991 standard, revision 3.2. The heartbeat (active process) is enabled when both DXI and keepalives are enabled on the interface. The echo (passive process) is enabled when DXI is enabled on the interface. The heartbeat mechanism automatically generates a heartbeat poll frame every
10 seconds. This default value can be changed with the keepalive command. The Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI) is not supported.
The following example shows how to enable DXI 3.2 on interface HSSI 0:
interface hssi 0

Use the smds enable-arp interface configuration command to enable the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). The multicast address for ARP must be set before this command is issued. Once ARP has been enabled, use the no smds enable-arp command to return the interface to the default state.
smds enable-arpThis command has no arguments or keywords.
Disabled
Interface configuration
The following example illustrates how to enable the dynamic ARP routing table:
interface serial 0
ip address 131.108.1.30 255.255.255.0
smds multicast IP E180.0999.9999
smds enable-arp
arp
Use the smds multicast interface configuration command to map an SMDS group address to a broadcast or multicast address used by higher-level protocols. Use the no smds multicast command with the appropriate address to remove a multicast address.
smds multicast protocol-type SMDS-address| protocol-type | The protocol type; see Table 1-5 for a list of supported protocols and their keywords. |
| SMDS-address | The SMDS address. Since SMDS does not incorporate broadcast addressing, a group address for a particular protocol must be defined to serve the broadcast function. |
| Keyword | Protocol |
|---|---|
| ip | IP |
| arp | ARP |
| novell | Novell IPX |
None
Interface configuration
The following example shows how to map the IP broadcast address to the SMDS group address E180.0999.9999:
interface serial 0
smds multicast IP E180.0999.9999
Use the smds multicast arp interface configuration command to map the SMDS address to a multicast address. Use the no smds multicast arp command to disable this feature.
smds multicast arp SMDS-address [IP-address mask]| SMDS-address | SMDS address in E.164 format. |
| IP-address | (Optional.) IP address. |
| mask | (Optional.) Subnet mask for the IP address. |
None
Interface configuration
This command is only used when an ARP server is present on a network. When broadcast ARPs are sent, SMDS first attempts to send the packet to all multicast ARP SMDS addresses. If none exist in the configuration, they are sent to all multicast IP SMDS multicast addresses. If the optional ARP multicast address is missing, each entered IP multicast command will be used for broadcasting.
The following example illustrates how to configure broadcast ARP messages:
interface serial 0
smds multicast arp E180.0999.9999
smds multicast ip
Use the smds multicast ip interface configuration command to map an SMDS group address to a secondary IP address. Use the no smds multicast ip command to remove the address map.
smds multicast ip SMDS-address [IP-address mask]| SMDS-address | SMDS address in E.164 format. |
| IP-address | (Optional.) IP address. |
| mask | (Optional.) Subnet mask for the IP address. |
The IP address and mask will default to the primary address of the interface if they are left out of the configuration.
Interface configuration
This command allows a single SMDS interface to be treated as multiple logical IP subnets (MultiLIS). If taking advantage of the MultiLIS support in SMDS, you can use more than one multicast address on the SMDS interface, that is, multiple commands can be entered. However, each smds multicast ip command entry must be associated with a different IP address on the SMDS interface.
Broadcasts can be sent on the SMDS interface using the multicast address. By sending broadcasts in this manner, the communication server is not required or replicate broadcasts messages to every remote host.
In addition, the higher-level protocols such as OSPF can use the multicast capability by sending one update packet or routing packet to the multicast address.
If the optional IP address and mask arguments are not present, the SMDS address and multicast address are associated with the primary IP address of the interface. This allows the command to be backward compatible with earlier versions of the software.
If an ARP multicast address is missing, each entered IP multicast command will be used for broadcasting. The ARP multicast command has the same format as the IP multicast command and is typically used only when an ARP server is present in the network.
The following example configures an interface that supports two different subnets with different multicast addresses to each network. The first multicast configuration command associates the multicast address with the primary IP address and mask of the interface.

Use the smds static-map interface configuration command to configure a static map between an individual SMDS address and a higher-level protocol address. Use the no smds static-map command with the appropriate arguments to remove the map.
smds static-map protocol-type protocol-address SMDS-address [broadcast]None
Interface configuration
This command provides pseudobroadcasting by allowing the use of broadcasts on those hosts that cannot support SMDS multicast addresses. Using pseudo-broadcasts can degrade performance.
The following example illustrates how to enable pseudobroadcasting. In addition to broadcasting IP and ARP requests to E180.0999.9999, the device at address C120.4444.9999 will also receive a copy of the broadcast request. The host at address 131.108.1.15 is incapable of receiving multicast packets. The multicasting is simulated with this feature.
