SuperUser Commands

Introduction

This chapter contains detailed descriptions of the Cisco WAN switching software SuperUser commands for Release 9.2. The Cisco WAN switching software SuperUser command descriptions appear in alphabetical order. You need user privilege level 0 (zero) to use these commands.

Caution These commands are intended to be restricted to Cisco personnel and other qualified users, such as system administrators. Do not distribute this information to casual users because using some super user commands improperly could lead to system malfunction or complete failure.

Also note that once you log into a node as SuperUser (user privilege level 0), you will have access to all the SuperUser commands in this guide throughout the entire session until you log off that node.

General Information


Note To use the SuperUser commands (privilege level 0), you need a different login and password than when you use commands with privilege levels 1-6.

Because the privilege level for all super user commands is 0, the privilege level does not appear in the command definition.

Table 1-1 lists the Cisco WAN switch software level 0 (SuperUser) commands in alphabetical order. The table also lists the nodes on which each command is available and whether you can include the command in a job. To access these commands, type in SuperUser at the login prompt. Enter the super user password and the password prompt. To exit a command at any point, press the Delete key.

The screen examples in this chapter are based on a network containing an IGX or BPX or any combination of these nodes. For detailed descriptions of commands requiring a user-privilege level in the range 1-6, refer to the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference.


Note Some SuperUser commands rarely are applicable, while misusing other SuperUser commands can cause serious problems in the network. For these commands, the descriptions contain an advisory for you to call the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) before you proceed. The number in the United States is 800 553-2447. For international access, use 1-408 526-4000.

Descriptions for Statistics CLI Commands

This section briefly describes the statistics CLI (command line interface) descriptions that are provided for various statistics commands (for example, cnfchstats, cnflnstats, cnfportstats, and so on.) Each statistics command displays various field names on the CLI. Note that the descriptions provided in the various statistics description tables may vary from the actual description of the field name as it appears on the switch software command line interface statistics screens.

Only BXM card statistics descriptions are provided; however, note that many of the UXM card statistics are similar or identical to those used for the BXM card. This means that in many cases, the description may also apply to the UXM card. Note also that the statistics descriptions provided in the various tables may not always map directly to the CLI field names, but in many cases, they provide a description of the statistic that is sent from the card firmware to the switch software CLI (through ComBus messages from the firmware to switch software).


Note The BXM ComBus interface is similar in many places to the ComBus interface for previously-released cards (ASI and BNI cards). Note that there are small differences in the ComBus definition for other cards. In some cases the object ID for the BXM card statistic differs from its ASI or BNI counterpart.

Statistics Command Descriptions

There are several tables provided, which contain ComBus messages, along with descriptions of how each message is used by the switch software. Note that in many cases, the ComBus message description provides a description of the statistics field name on the CLI screen display, on dspchstats, dspchstathist, and so on.

The tables have the following columns:

Functional Description of Channel Statistics

This operation provides a way for the software to collect channel statistics. The number of channels statistics that can be collected is limited and configurable by software. Note that all of these statistics are not available on the Monarch firmware at one time. For the statistics that are not configured, a value of zero will be returned during the "get" operation.

In the description column, the numbers in brackets indicate how many stats-per-connection need to be configured on the card for the specific statistic to be available over the ComBus interface. [ALL] indicates the statistic is available regardless of the number of configured stats-per-connection. If the number inside the [ ]s is preceded by "A:", that means that the statistic is available when primary statistics are requested for the connection. If the number inside the [ ]s is preceded by "B:", that means the statistic is available when secondary statistics are requested for the connection.

burnfwrev (Burn Firmware Image into Card(s)

The burnfwrev command burns a new firmware image into a specific card.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

dspfwrev, getfwrev

Syntax
burnfwrev <image name> <slot number>

<image name>

Specifies the name of the firmware image to burn. You should typically enter image names in all capital letters; also, image names are case-sensitive.

<slot number>

Specifies the shelf slot where the card to burn is located. Specifying slot 0 will burn all cards of the appropriate type at the local node.



Function

This command is used to burn a firmware image into the memory of a specific card. Before you use burnfwrev, the firmware image must already reside in the controller card's memory. (Use getfwrev to load the image to the controller.)

A few seconds after you enter burnfwrev, the system displays a screen similar to that shown in Figure 1-1, then the Burn Address column starts to indicate the addresses that are being "burned." When burnfwrev finishes, the status changes to "Complete."

After all cards at a node have been updated with burnfwrev, enter the following to clear the firmware image from the controller card's buffer area:

getfwrev 0.0 node_name

Use the dspfwrev command to display the firmware image status on the controller card at any time after burnfwrev has finished.

At the super user level (0), you can use burnfwrev only to change the revision level of a card's firmware. If the firmware revision would result in a new model number for the card, only a user with a higher privilege level can burn the firmware image. In this case, you would have to call the TAC to execute the command.


Figure 1-1: burnfwrev—Burn Firmware Revision into Card gamma TRM SuperUser Rev: 9.2 Aug. 17 1998 14:28 PDT Firmware Size Status F.D.A 256 K Burning into slot 19 (6 lives) File Address Length CRC Burn Address 0 800000 10 E986E939 1 800800 410 22996DDA 2 801000 2D40 B212147F 3 805E60 480 85CB29EA 4 80A630 70 57A938AE 5 80A6B0 20 4B9E8DDC 6 810000 10000 338E45F6 7 820000 4400 95990113 8 835000 1810 875771B2 9 8368A0 15D0 4C597B97 This Command: burnfwrev Continue?

clrcderrs (Clear Detailed Card Errors)

The clrcderrs command clears the history of card failures (errors) associated with the specified slot.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

dspcderrs, prtcderrs

Syntax
clrcderrs <slot number | *>

<slot number | *>

Specifies the slot number to clear. A "*" can be entered to clear all cards.



Function

This command clears the history of card failures associated with the specified slot. When you enter this command system responds with Slot Number or *. After you enter the command, the system asks you to confirm that it is OK to clear this data.

For example, to clear the data from the FRM card in slot 3, enter the command illustrated in Figure 1-2. This screen also illustrates the card's stored data.

clrcnf (Clear Configuration Memory)

The clrcnf command clears the configuration memory at the current node and resets the node.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: No Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

loadcnf, runcnf, savecnf

Syntax
clrcnf

Function

The clrcnf command erases most network configuration data. This configuration data includes connections, trunks, circuit lines, and so on, for the local node. You may need to use the clrcnf command when you upgrade the network with a new software release or when you move a node. A warning and a confirmation prompt appear before the command executes. Figure 1-4 illustrates a typical screen.

This command should be used only on a node that has not yet been placed in service or when the network configuration has been previously saved so it can be quickly reloaded. The configuration can be saved in one of several ways:

Caution Use clrcnf with extreme caution. Typically, you should use clrcnf only if the Cisco TAC has instructed you to do so. This command can make the node unreachable to the network.

Figure 1-4: clrcnf—Clear Node Configuration *** Warning: *** This command clears the configuration memory and resets the Node. This Command: clrcnf Are you sure (y/n)?

clrfpevt (Clear FastPAD Event Reporting)

The clrfpevt command disables the reporting of FastPAD events.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: No Node Type: IGX

Associated Commands

setfpevt, dsplog

Syntax
clrfpevt <FastPAD name> | <slot.port>

Function

The reason for executing clrfpevt is to prevent the large number of logged events that accumulate when certain user-controlled disruptions occur. Without suspension of event-logging, the number of events caused by the disruption can cause the FastPAD to become unreachable. Remember to resume event logging by using the setfpevt command. Examples of these events are:

Example

clrfpevt 9.3

Description

The example command halts event logging for the FastPAD connected to port 9.3.


Note No screen appears when clrfpevt executes. The example shows the dsplog output after a sequence of clrfpevt then setfpevt. Earlier FastPAD events appear near the bottom of the screen.

cnfabrparm (Configure Assigned Bit Rate Queue Parameters)

The cnfabrparm command configures parameters for the ABR (Assigned Bit Rate) queue on all ports on the selected UXM.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX

Associated Commands

cnfportq, dspportq, cnfport, dspport

Syntax
cnfabrparm <slot> <CI_control> <ER_control>

<slot>

Specifies the slot number of the UXM.

<CI_control>

Enables or disables Egress/Ingress Congestion Information control.

<ER_control>

Enables or disables ABR RM cell Explicit Rate stamping.



Function

The cnfabrparm command lets you toggle the Egress/Ingress Congestion Information control and/or the ABR RM cell Explicit Rate stamping parameters on and off. All ports on the UXM in the selected slot are dynamically reconfigured according to the new parameters.

Example
sw205 TN SuperUser IGX 8420 9.2 Jan. 27 1998 04:50 GMT ABR Configuration for UXM in slot 5 CI Control : N Egress ER Stamping : N This Command: cnfabrparm 5

cnfbusbw (Configure UXM Card Bus Bandwidth)

The cnfbusbw command configures the amount of bandwidth allocated on the bus for a UXM card.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX

Associated Commands

dspbusbw (a standard user command)

Syntax
cnfbusbw <slot>

<slot>

Specifies the slot number of the UXM.

<bw>

Specifies the amount of bandwidth to be allocated in UBUs (which the system converts to either FastPackets per second or cells per second. The maximum rate you can set is 288000 cells per second, which is
72 UBUs. Each UBU is the equivalent of 4000 cells per second.



Function

The cnfbusbw command lets you configure the amount of bandwidth allocated on the bus for the selected UXM. The default amount of bus bandwidth allocated depends on the connection type you are adding. 77 Mbps (1/2 OC-3 rate) of bus bandwidth is allocated to an OC-3 port card when the first line is upped. For the T3/E3 line, 44/34 Mbps (T3/E3 rate) is allocated as default bus bandwidth. For a T1/E1 line, the amount of bandwidth allocated will be enough for all T1/E1 lines supported on the card. After the default bus bandwidth is allocated, the system will not allocate any more bus bandwidth to the card when you activate more lines, so you must manually allocate the bus bandwidth to the card using the cnfbusbw command. Table 1-2 lists the cnfbusbw screen information. All ports on the UXM in the selected slot are dynamically reconfigured according to the new parameters.


Table 1-2: cnfbusbw—Screen Information
Display Description

Minimum Required Bandwidth

Minimum bandwidth in FastPackets per second and cells per second required for all connections currently configured on this card.

This is calculated by UXM firmware as connections are added.

Maximum Port Bandwidth

Total bandwidth of all active trunks/ports on this card in FastPackets per second, cells per second and UBUs.

Average Bandwidth and Peak Used Bandwidth

Statistics counters maintained by UXM firmware. These statistic counters display FastPackets per second, cells per second and UBUs. Use this information when calculating the amount of Bus Bandwidth to be allocated.

These counters will be cleared when the UXM card is reset.

Last Updated time

Shows the time when the counters were last updated. This will be the current time if you answered yes to the Get updated bandwidth info from card (Y/N)? prompt or entered the command with the u parameter.

Allocated Bandwidth

The bandwidth allocated for this card using the cnfbusbw command. Allocated bandwidth is specified in UBU units and converted to either FastPackets per second or cells per second by the system.

cnfcdparm

Use the cnfcdparm command to configure the channel statistic level on the BXM/UXM card. This command supports the multilevel channel statistics feature, which lets you configure and display additional levels of statistics on a BXM or UXM card.

Configuration of the channel statistic level is a slot-based parameter. For example, if slot 5 is configured to support level 3 channel statistics, all connections on the card in slot 5 will be set to level 3 statistics.

The multilevel Channel Statistics feature is supported on the BPX and IGX platforms, for BXM and UXM cards. (Refer to release notes for card firmware release requirements.) The Multilevel Channel Statistics feature requires switch software to collect, display and propagate to Cisco WAN Manager the various statistics types. The channel statistic types vary in number and type based upon the level of support provided by the BXM and UXM cards.

Apart from the cnfcdparm command which you use to configure the channel statistic level on the BXM/UXM cards, you configure and use the BXM/UXM channel statistics similarly as in previous releases. You use the following commands to configure BXM and UXM card statistics:

Description of Summary and Interval Statistics

Summary statistics are also referred to as real-time statistics or real-time measurements. These statistics show their values updating in real time, for example, the counter for the number of cells transmitted increment as you are watching. Commands you use to view real-time statistics are dsptrkstats, dspportstats, and dspchstats.

Interval statistics is a general name for three specific statistic types: TFTP statistics, AUTO statistics, and USER statistics. They are also commonly referred to as detailed statistics or history statistics. Interval statistics show historical information, for example, the number of cells transmitted in the previous 30 minutes.

Commands you use to view the enabled interval statistics are: dspchstatcnf, dsplnstatcnf, dspportstatcnf, dsptrkstatcnf, and dspslotstatcnf.

Commands you use to view a single enabled interval statistic in detail are: dspchstathist, dsplnstathist, dspportstathist, and dsptrkstathist.

You can enable the TFTP statistics by using the debug command (cnfstatparms or from the Cisco WAN Manager Statistics Collection Manager (SCM). (Note that you need to have either Service or SuperUser level access to use debug commands.) When they are enabled, all objects that can support an enabled statistic will attempt to do so. For example, if enabling trunk statistic #5, all trunks that can support trunk statistic #5 will attempt to enable it. These statistics are generally used for billing, and monitoring the network's performance.

AUTO statistics, also referred to as IGX or BPX feature statistics, are used for the switches' statistical alarming feature. As their name implies, these statistics are automatically allocated when certain statistical entities are upped or added. Auto stat entries on the IGX are ADPCM, ADPNO, PCM, Transparent and Data connections, as well as trunks and lines. Auto statistic entities on the BPX are trunks, lines, and cards.

USER statistics are statistics enabled through the following commands: cnftrkstats, cnflnstats, cnfportstats, cnfchstats and cnfslotstats. When these statistics are enabled, they are enabled on a specified entity; for example, enabled trunk statistic #5 on trunk 4.2. User statistics are mainly used for debugging.

Multilevel Channel Statistics Support

Previous to Release 9.2, switch software only supported a subset of channel statistics available on the BXM or UXM cards, sometimes referred to as "level 1 statistics." Because the BXM and UXM cards can potentially support a larger number of channel statistics, additional levels (levels 2 and 3) of statistics are now supported in Release 9.2. The number of statistics available are based upon the statistics level programmed on the BXM or UXM card.

Release 9.2 of switch software and Cisco WAN Manager support additional channel statistics on the BXM/UXM cards. These statistics are available as summary and interval statistics. (The "interval" commands dspchstathist, dspchstatcnf, and cnfchanstats commands are available through the switch software CLI. Additionally, statistics information collected by the interval commands is also sent to Cisco WAN Manager.) The set of Real Time Counters statistics supported are the same as previous to Release 9.2.

Table 1-3 lists the channel statistics available on the BXM and UXM cards. The four different levels supported are shown, along with the statistics field description as it appears on the related statistics screens (dspchstats, cnfcdparm, clrchstats, dspchstathist, dspchstatcnf, cnfchanstats). Refer to Table 1-6 for descriptions of the channel statistics listed in Table 1-3.

The BXM and UXM cards can be configured for multilevel channel statistics collection. You configure the channel statistic levels by using the cnfcdparm command. You can configure the channel statistics level only on a standby card. If you attempt to execute the cnfcdparm command on an active controller card, you will get a warning telling you that you cannot use the cnfcdparm on an active card.

The cnfcdparm command allows you to set the statistic level on a UXM or BXM card. However, cnfcdparm command will not allow you to change the statistics level if the card is active. The switch software detects the current channel statistics level available on the UXM or BXM card. Also, switch software performs the following card mismatch verification:

UXM/BXM multilevel Channel Statistics Feature

The multilevel Channel Statistics feature supports the following functions in card management, channel statistics, and Cisco WAN Manager:

  Card Management
  Channel Statistics
  Cisco WAN Manager

Cisco WAN Manager

Cisco WAN Manager supports the Multilevel Channel Statistics as provided by the BXM and UXM cards.

Channel Statistics Collection and Display

The Multilevel Channel statistics are similar to the statistics supported on the current BXM and UXM cards. These channel statistics are accumulated in a historical format using the same collection technique as the current channel statistics. You configure the interval statistics by using the cnfchstats command, and display them by using the dspchstathist command. In addition, you can get summary statistics by using the dspchstats command. You display the additional channel statistics screens by either pressing Return or "y" for yes, depending on whether you are on a BPX or IGX node.

The actual number of statistics available is based on the channel statistics level you configure by using the cnfcdparm command.

You use the following CLI commands to configure and display channel statistics:

Memory Requirements

Additional memory is required to support channel summary statistics on the BPX and IGX platforms.

BPX Platform

132,000 bytes = (33 new stats) * (1000 summary stat entries) * (4 bytes per stat entry)

IGX Platform

112,000 bytes = (8 new stats) * (3500 summary stat entries) * (4 bytes per stat entry)

Multilevel Statistics Supported on UXM Card

The initial release of the UXM firmware supported only four (4) QE per channel statistics. To support these new statistics, however, more QE memory, on a per channel basis, is required. As the statistics level is increased, the number of connections supported by the card may decrease.

Setting the Statistics Level on the UXM Card

Setting the statistics level can only be performed with the UXM in the standby state. See the switch software command cnfcdparm for details on how to set the statistics level on the card.

The UXM will retain the last setting and will reboot in that mode. That is, if the statistics were set to 2, the UXM, when reset (reinserted, and so on.), will boot with the statistics level set to 2. However, the lowest setting actually set on the card will be the maximum number of statistics with the maximum number of user connections. That is, the UXM can support 4 ingress and 4 egress QE statistics with 8,000 user connections. This would be the equivalent of the statistics level being set to 1. The cards will accept the full range of statistics levels (0-3). The UXMe (UXM Enhanced card) will support up to statistics level 2 with no reduction in the number of connections. Table 1-7 shows connection counts for the UXM cards when different statistics levels are configured on the card.

Levels of Support on UXM Card for Various Statistics

If statistics belonging to a statistics level higher than the level set on the card are requested, the user will receive an error message. The bold text refers to statistics collected from the QE. Statistics fall into four categories: User, Oam, Rm, and All. These categories can be further divided into types. User cells are one of four types: Eof0-EFCI0, Eof1-EFCI0, Eof0-EFCI1, and Eof1-EFCI1. OAM cells come in two types: SEg and E2e. RM cells fall into three types: FRm, BRm, and FsRm. CLP0 and CLP1 cells, when tracked, are only distinguished for User cells.

Table 1-8 shows the levels of statistics support that can be configured for the UXM card in Release 9.2.

Compatibility with 9.1 Classic Statistics

The statistics as defined for Level statistics will not provide the same information as statistics on a UXM running 9.1 firmware. However, backward compatibility is provided for any UXM upgraded from 9.1 to 9.2 firmware. UXMs shipped with 9.2 firmware do not support the Classic statistics.


Note The rsh command can be used to put UXM running 9.2 into classic statistics mode. (Note that you need to have debug level privileges to access this command.) In addition, any UXM upgraded from 9.1 to 9.2 will no longer support classic statistics if a statistics level has been set on the card. The UXMe supports, at a minimum, Level 2 statistics, and since Level 2 statistics supports all the statistics needed for compatibility with 9.1 software.

Refer to Table 1-11 for a list of the multilevel channel statistics supported on the UXM.

Descriptions for Statistics Fields on cnfcdparm Screen

The field names on the cnfcdparm screen are similar to the field names on the dspchstats screen. Table 1-14 provides descriptions for fields that appear on the cnfcdparm screen. Note that the object names given may vary slightly from what actually appears on the cnfcdparm screen fields; similarly, the descriptions for each object (or screen field) correspond in most cases to the related object (or screen field) name, but not in all cases.

cnfcftst (Configure Communication Fail Test Pattern)

The cnfcftst command changes the test pattern for communication failure testing.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

dspcftst

Syntax

cnfcftst

Function

The communication fail test pattern is used to periodically test for failure of nodes to communicate with each other. This test pattern is also used to recover from communication fail conditions. A communication fail is defined as a loss of controller communication over one or more trunks to a particular node. A communication fail differs from a communication break condition in that the node may be reachable over other paths. The communication fail test is used to test the failed trunk for proper controller traffic.

This command allows the user to configure the communication fail test pattern byte-by-byte. It defaults to a pattern of 4 bytes of 1s followed by 4 bytes of 0s. Varying the length of the test pattern makes the communications test more or less rigorous. Changing the characters determines the pattern sensitivity for strings of less than 14 bytes.

The dspcftst command displays the current communication test pattern. The parameters used for declaring and clearing communication fails are set by the cnfnodeparm command. Figure 1-8 illustrates a typical screen.

cnfchstats (Configure Channel Statistics Collection)

Use the cnfchstats command to enable statistics collection for various channel parameters. The cnfchstats command is sometimes referred to as an "interval statistics" command—the statistics information collected is propagated to Cisco WAN Manager.

In Release 9.2, the Multilevel Channel Statistics feature provides additional levels of statistics (levels 2 and 3) beyond level 1 statistics. To configure the channel statistics level on the BXM and UXM card, use the cnfcdparm command. This command lets you configure a specific card slot to support additional levels of statistics (levels 2 and 3) that were supported in releases previous to Release 9.2 (level 1). See the cnfcdparm command for more information.

Function

This debug command enables statistics collecting for channel parameters. Table 1-34 lists the statistics by type. Not all statistic types are available for all connections. Only valid statistics are displayed for you to select; inapplicable statistics appear in gray. If you are unsure of the size parameter to specify, select four bytes per sample.

The dspchstatcnf command displays the channel statistics configuration. Statistics are collected by and displayed on the Cisco WAN Manager workstation. Cisco WAN Manager allows statistics collection to be customized. You can disable a Cisco WAN Manager-enabled channel statistic by specifying the optional node name of the workstation as the last parameter on the command line. Figure 1-9 illustrates the parameters available for a typical connection.

cnfchts (Configure Channel Timestamp)

The cnfchts command configures a pre-aging parameter for data channels. Applicable cards are the SDP, LPD, LDM, and HDM. Applicable traffic is time-stamped data.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX

Associated Commands

cnfcdpparm

Syntax
cnfchts <channel(s)> <pre-age>

<channel(s)>

Specifies the data channel.

<pre-age>

Specifies a value in 250-microsecond increments to go in the age field in the header of a time-stamped.



Function

This command configures the pre-age parameter for data channels. The pre-age parameter specifies the initial age of a time-stamped packet. With a non-zero pre-age, the packet has less time to wait at the destination before it reaches the Max Time Stamped Packet Age and is taken out of the ingress queue. (Data channels with the greater pre-age value are processed sooner.) However, if the pre-age value is too high because of queuing delays in the network, packets could be discarded because they appear too old at the destination.

The value you enter for Pre-Age should be a multiple of 250 microseconds (otherwise, the system rounds the value down to the nearest multiple of 250 microseconds). The default value is 0. Acceptable values are in the range 0 to the Max Time Stamped Packet Age (set by the cnfsysparm command). After you finish entering this command, the screen as in the example. After you change a timestamp, the connection should be rerouted or restarted for the new value to take effect.


Note You can see the value for Pre-Age in the screen display for the dspchcnf command. If dspchcnf is entered at a user-privilege level below super user level, the Pre-Age parameter does not appear in the dspchcnf output.

cnfclnsigparm (Configure Circuit Line Signaling Parameters)

The cnfclnsigparm command configures signaling parameters for a UVM or CVM.


Note The CVM & UVM Heartbeat parameter (option 1) is the rate, in seconds, at which the card sends a signaling (ABCD bits) state update to the other end of the connection, even when there is no change in the state of the signaling bits. This is done because signaling packets are TS data packets, and there is a small chance that a signaling packet might be discarded somewhere in the network. This mechanism is a recovery mechanism to ensure that on-hook and off-hook notifications are not lost.

Increasing this interval will probably have no impact as long as none of the normal signaling TS data packets are being discarded in the network.

Heartbeat

The current state of the signaling is periodically transmitted to the far end even if no signaling transitions are detected. This interval is determined by the value of "heartbeat."

The CVM & UVM Heartbeat parameter (option 1) is the rate, in seconds, at which the card sends a signaling (ABCD bits) state update to the other end of the connection, even when there is no change in the state of the signaling bits. This is done because signaling packets are TS data packets, and there is a small chance that a signaling packet might be discarded somewhere in the network. This mechanism is a recovery mechanism to ensure that on-hook and off-hook notifications are not lost.

Increasing this interval will probably have no impact as long as none of the normal signaling TS data packets are being discarded in the network.

cnfcmparm (Configure Connection Management Parameters)

The cnfcmparm command configures various connection management parameters for the node.

The cnfcmparm command is used to enable cost-based route selection and the use of delay as the trunk cost. By default, delay is enabled. This worst-case delay for each connection type is calculated from the configured voice and non-timestamped trunk queue depths. For delay sensitive connections on the IGX (voice and non-timestamped), the worst-case trunk delay can be used as the per trunk cost. For delay sensitive connections on the BPX (ATM CBR), end-to-end delay is not used as a routing constraint in AutoRoute.

Syntax
cnfcmparm <parameter number> <value>

<parameter number>

Specifies the number of the parameter to change. See Table 1-19

<value>

Specifies the new parameter value to enter.



Function

This command configures parameters that affect Adaptive Voice, Rerouting, and Courtesy Up/Down. These parameters are used only at the local node. Table 1-19 lists the parameters, their descriptions, and their default values.


Table 1-19:
Connection Management Parameters
No. Parameter Description Range Default

1

Normalization
Interval

The time delay in minutes between attempts to disable VAD (that is, to "normalize") on groups of voice connections. It is in force once the network has been stable for a while (see parameter 4, "Setting Interval").

1-10 minutes

2

2

Max Number To Normalize

The maximum number of connections that may be normalized at each normalization interval (see parameter 1)

1-50 connections

5 connections

3

Normalization
Logging

This boolean specifies whether changes in VAD status are recorded in the event log

y=yes
n=no

No

4

Settling Interval

The length of time, in minutes, following a disturbance in the network (trunk failure, and so on.) before normalization attempts are allowed.

1-10 minutes

4 minutes

5

Minimum Open Space

The minimum trunk bandwidth required, in packets/second, before normalization attempts are allowed. This is in addition to the statistical reserve for the trunk. Increasing this parameter causes all connections in the network to reroute (although the parameter only governs the local node).

0-8000 packets per second (pps)

1000 pps

6

Normalization
Priority

Determines the order in which connections are considered for VAD removal. It may be Class of Service (CoS) or load.

While CoS is a simple test, the load option is more complex. The load, in packets/second, over the last "Load Sample Period" (see parameter 7) for all eligible connections (with or without VAD) is sampled. Every "Normalization Interval" (see parameter 1), the IGX node takes the "Max Number To Normalize" (see parameter 2) connections with VAD applied and compares their utilization with those with VAD already disabled. Those with the greatest load will have VAD disabled, if necessary, at the expense of some that were already disabled, where VAD is now applied. In this way, the most heavily used connections are continually found and have VAD disabled.

COS or Load (c/l)

l (Load)

7

Load Sample Period

The period during which voice activity is sampled for load determination if parameter 6 is set to Load.

1-10 minutes

4 minutes

8

Maximum Routing Bundle

For rerouting, the maximum number of connections allowed in a routing request. For derouting, the maximum number of connections chosen using the CoS-based criterion. The value of this parameter should be set to less than that of parameter 21.

A larger value provides a faster rerouting/derouting time. A smaller value provides better load balancing.

1-250

90

9

Reroute Timer

The number of seconds since the last reroute to wait before attempting another reroute of the same connection. After a connection has been successfully routed, it does not get rerouted again (especially for a connection that has previously experienced a failure at its preferred route) until this amount of time has elapsed. The time delay permits the preferred route to stabilize its operational status before a working connection with a preferred route is returned to the preferred route. A zero timer means the request is re-attempted immediately.

0-900 seconds

0 seconds

10

Timer Reset on
Line Fail

This boolean specifies that the reroute timer in parameter 9 can be ignored if the current route actually fails (instead of attempting a rerouting of working connections on non-preferred routes).

y=yes
n=no

y

11

Max Down/Up Per Pass

The maximum number of connections allowed to be upped or downed per pass.

A larger value provides a faster completion of state update notifications, at the expense of potentially flooding the network.

A smaller value provides better control of network traffic, but at the expense of prolonged state update notifications.

0-255

50

12

Down/Up Timer

The amount of time to wait before the next pass of upping/downing connections.

A larger value provides slower-paced state update notifications, thus allowing time for the node to process other requests.

A smaller value provides faster-paced state update notifications.

1000-65535 msecs

30000 msecs

13

Maximum Route
Errors per Cycle

The maximum number of failed rerouting attempts allowed for a connection. Once this threshold has been reached, the connection is removed from the reroute group (see parameters 25, 26 and 27) and placed in a block waiting for the next cycle. (See also parameters 14 & 15.)

A larger value provides a more resilient rerouting attempt.

A smaller value allows a faster declaration of rerouting failure.

0-65535 failures

BPX: 50
IGX: 200

14

Maximum Time Be-
tween Routing Cycles

All connections that have waited for this amount of time are allowed to be returned into the reroute group. The expiration of this timer starts off another cycle of rerouting attempts. (See also parameters 13 and 15.)

A larger value provides more time for the network topology to settle before re-attempting a connection reroute.

A smaller value allows more frequent reroute attempts.

1-8 minutes

5 minutes

15

Maximum Routing
Error Cycles

The maximum number of cycles of rerouting attempts. Once this threshold has been reached, the connection is declared failed. You must use the rrtcon command to reroute the failed connection. (See also parameters 13 and 14.) Alternatively, the failed connection is rerouted when the BCC becomes active (for example, due to card reset or switchcc).

A larger value provides a more resilient rerouting attempt.

A smaller value allows a faster declaration of rerouting failure.

0-255 cycles

BPX: 10
IGX: 1

16

Routing pause timer

The amount of time to wait before the next rerouting attempt. Do not wait when set to 0.

A larger value provides a slower-paced rerouting attempt, taking advantage of possible network topology updates.

A smaller value allows for a faster-paced rerouting attempt that does not depend on the changing network topology.

0-65535 msecs

0

17

Max. messages sent per update

The maximum number of CMUPDATE messages that may be sent into the network without acknowledgement. This parameter permits the transmitting node to throttle the networking traffic to prevent jamming.

A larger value allows the broadcasting to complete faster, at the risk of jamming the network.

A smaller value slows down the broadcasting without flooding the network, but at the expense of more broadcasting iterations.

0-223 decimal

10

18

Send SVC urgent msgs

IGX only. This parameter enables an IGX node to inform each via node to remove an SVC connection during deletion. When disabled, the via nodes are not immediately informed through an update message. This causes the trunk loading occupied by a deleted SVC to remain unavailable until the update message is received by the via node.

y=yes
n=no

BPX: n
IGX: y

19

Max SVC Retry

IGX only. The maximum number of failed routing attempts before the SVC connection is declared failed. If the routing attempt fails due to a reason other than being "blocked," the connection is immediately declared failed. A blocked attempt means that the routing state machine on the via/slave node is already processing a route request, or is locked by some other state machines.

A larger value provides a more resilient SVC rerouting attempt.

A smaller value allows a faster declaration of rerouting failure.

0-30 decimal

0

20

Wait for TBL updates

After routing all connections based on CoS, wait roughly this amount of time before the routing of other connections in need of rerouting (for example, those failed connections due to lack of critical internal resources). This delay allows the topology to settle after the CoS-based rerouting phase. This wait period should typically be one or two seconds longer than the time specified by the Fast Interval parameter (default 5 seconds) of the cnftlparm command.

0-65000 decimal

70
(x100 msecs)

21

Max derouting bundle

The maximum number of connections chosen, based on load, that can be derouted concurrently. The value of this parameter should be set to greater than that of parameter 8. The actual number of connections concurrently derouted can reach the sum of this parameter and of parameter 8.

A larger value provides a faster rerouting/derouting time.

A smaller value provides better load balancing.

0-16000 decimal

500

22

Enable cost-based routing

This boolean specifies whether the Cost-Based Routing algorithm should be used in preference to the Hop-Based Routing algorithm. Yes means enable cost-based routing.

Cost-based routing allows the network operation to better tune the network utilization based on the least cost.

Hop-based routing is a simpler algorithm that selects a path strictly based on the least number of hops.

y=yes
n=no

n

23

Enable route cache usage

This boolean specifies whether the most recent successfully-used routes are to be placed in cache, in order to avoid performing route selection. Yes enables route cache usage. The cache route can be either a cost-based route or a hop-based route.

y=yes
n=no

n

24

Use delay for routing

This boolean specifies whether queuing delay is considered in the Cost-Based Routing algorithm. Yes means use delay for routing. The parameter is particular useful for time sensitive or voice connections.

y=yes
n=no

n

25

# of reroute groups used

Specifies the number of reroute groups allowed for the node. Each reroute group is categorized based on the load requirement for each connection. The node reroutes connections with the highest load units first and proceeds with successively decreasing load unit ranges.

A larger value provides more groups at the cost of more iterations stepping through the reroute groups during rerouting.

A smaller value provides a faster completion of the iterations.

1-200 groups

50

26

Starting size of RR groups

The first reroute group is defined to consist of connections with load units at or below this parameter value. During rerouting, connections from this reroute group are considered last. Connections with load units above this value but at or below the sum of this value and that of the next parameter (Increment between RR groups) are placed in the second reroute group.

A larger value provides a bigger range of bandwidth for the first reroute groups.

A smaller value provides a more refined range of bandwidth included in the first reroute group.

0-96000 cell load units (CLUs)

0 CLUs

27

Increment between RR groups

Each of the remaining reroute groups is defined to consist of connections with load units higher than the previous reroute group, but at or below the sum of the previous reroute group threshold and this parameter value. The last reroute group can accommodate any load units above the second-last reroute group threshold.

(See parameter 26 for a definition of the first reroute group.)

A larger value provides a bigger range of bandwidth for each of a smaller number of reroute groups.

A smaller value provides a smaller range of bandwidth for each of a larger number of reroute groups.

1-96000 cell load units (CLUs)

100 CLUs

<slot.port>

Specifies the line to configure.

<option >

Specifies the parameter to configure.

Function

This command configures the circuit line alarm integration times in milliseconds for Red and Yellow circuit line alarms. You should set them to correspond to the local carrier's alarm integration times. The cnflnparm range for each of these parameters is 60-3932100 ms. Carrier integration times are typically 800 ms-1500 ms for Red Alarm and 1500-3000 ms for Yellow Alarm.

You can also set the queue depth for the two queues associated with the ASI-0 card, the constant bit rate (CBR) queue and the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) queue. The queue depths may be increased to 16,000 bytes per queue.

cnflnsigparm (Configure Line Signaling Parameters)

The cnflnsigparm command configures the line signaling parameters for the CVM and UVM voice cards.


Note The CVM & UVM Heartbeat parameter (option 1) is the rate, in seconds, at which the card sends a signaling (ABCD bits) state update to the other end of the connection, even when there is no change in the state of the signaling bits. This is done because signaling packets are TS data packets, and there is a small chance that a signaling packet might be discarded somewhere in the network. This mechanism is a recovery mechanism to ensure that on-hook and off-hook notifications are not lost.

Increasing this interval will probably have no impact as long as none of the normal signaling TS data packets are being discarded in the network.

Table 1-24: cnflnsigparm Parameters and Descriptions
No. Parameter Description Range

1

Heartbeat

The current state of the signaling is periodically transmitted to the far end even if no signaling transitions are detected. This interval is determined by the value of "heartbeat."

The CVM & UVM Heartbeat parameter (option 1) is the rate, in seconds, at which the card sends a signaling (ABCD bits) state update to the other end of the connection, even when there is no change in the state of the signaling bits. This is done because signaling packets are TS data packets, and there is a small chance that a signaling packet might be discarded somewhere in the network. This mechanism is a recovery mechanism to ensure that on-hook and off-hook notifications are not lost.

Increasing this interval will probably have no impact as long as none of the normal signaling TS data packets are being discarded in the network.

2-30 sec.

2

Signal Polling Rate

How often the control card polls the UVM/CVM for the status of the signaling. This parameter is used to update displays and statistics.

2-60 sec.

3

Default Inband
Signal Delay

The transmit buffer timer value set after a valid signaling transition for in-band signaling arrives. After timeout, a signaling packet is sent.

30-96 msec.

4

Default Inband
Playout Delay

The receive buffer timer that "ages" an incoming, time-stamped packet. When the age of the packet reaches the timestamp value, it moves on to depacketization and then to the user-equipment. This parameter is used to even out the delay between signaling packets and voice packets.

0-200 msec.

5

Default Pulse
Signal Delay

Same as number 3 but applied to pulse signaling.

30-96 msec.

6

Default Pulse
Playout Delay

Same as number 4 but applied to pulse signaling.

100-200 msec.

7

CVM Number of Packet Slices

1

8

Packet Rate

Reserves trunk bandwidth for carrying UVM/CVM signaling.

0-1000 packets/sec.

9

Condition CCS Lines

If you specify "yes" for this parameter, the card applies signaling conditioning during an alarm to all channels on T1 circuit lines to notify PBX of a line failure.

YES or NO

10

Inband Min. Wink

Same as 6 for in-band signaling.

120-300 msec.

11

Pulse Min. Wink

For UVM/CVM connections only, this parameter controls both wink and inter-digit intervals for signaling that arrives over the NPC or NPM signaling channel from a far end UVM/CVM.

120-300 msec.

12

Condition T1 Lines?

If you specify "yes" for this parameter, the card applies signaling conditioning during an alarm to all channels on T1 circuit lines to notify PBX of a line failure.

YES or NO

The following table provides a table of BXM "object names." In many cases, the object name implies the screen field name on the cnflnstats screen.

provides a way for the software to fetch physical layer statistics from the Monarch firmware. Note: Where interface type is not specified it is implied to be of generic nature, and is good for all BXM interfaces (T3, E3, OC-3, OC-12).

Table 1-26 lists some line statistics descriptions for the BXM card. (Note that the object name given is in most cases the same as the screen field name, though they may vary slightly from the screen field name.)

cnfclnstats Command Statistics and Line Type

Note Typically, bipolar violations do not accumulate on E1 trunks and circuit lines. They accumulate only on T1 lines and trunks.

Figure 1-29 illustrates the screens displayed after entering cnfclnstats. The card in the example is a UXM. The line is 5.1. The only statistic in this example is 215—the number of seconds that the path was unavailable. (To configure more statistics, you would have to re-enter the command.) Other parameters in this example are an interval of 5 minutes, an accumulation of 29 samples, a sample size of 2 bytes, and the choice of enabling of 10 minute peaks.

cnfmxbutil (Configure Muxbus Utilization)

The cnfmxbutil command configures the Muxbus or Cellbus utilization factor for each FRP or FRM, respectively.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX

Associated Commands

none

Syntax

cnfmxbutil <slot number> <percentage>

<slot number>

Specifies the slot number of the associated FRP card.

<percentage>

Specifies the percent of Muxbus or cellbus bandwidth to allocate.

Function

The cnfmxbutil command lets you configure the Muxbus or cellbus utilization factor for each FRP or FRM in the node on a slot-by-slot basis. (System software automatically allocates a certain amount of bandwidth for each FRP or FRM in a node. Since the maximum data rate for an FRP or FRM is 2 Mbps, this bandwidth is also the maximum amount of the bus reserved for an FRP or FRM.)

In many applications, each of the four FRP or FRM ports is configured for a large number of 56 or 64 Kbps connections. System software totals the bandwidth required for all the connections, multiplies the total by 121% to reserve extra bandwidth for overhead, then subtracts this amount from the total available bus bandwidth.

However, statistically full utilization is not often required on ports with a large number of connections, so the reserved bus bandwidth may be further reduced. In a node with a T3 or E3 ATM trunk card, much of the bus bandwidth may be assigned to the ATM trunk, so you should exercise caution when allocating the remaining bus bandwidth.

See Figure 1-30 for a sample screen. The screen displays "N/A" for a slot where no FRP or FRM exists. Once the slot is selected, the system displays the message "Enter Utilization Factor." The range is 1-250%. The default is 121%. The extra 21% for the default is for the overhead for encapsulating the Frame Relay frame into the FastPackets or ATM cells.

Syntax

cnfnodeparm

Function

The cnfnodeparm command lets you change some of the node's system parameters. The parameters you can set with cnfnodeparm are not closely related. Table 1-28 and Table 1-29 describe the parameters for the IGX and BPX nodes, respectively. After each table, an applicable set of cnfnodeparm screens appears. The defaults for the parameters are selected by Cisco engineering to operate under normal network conditions. With few exceptions, you should change them only with the guidance of the Cisco TAC.

In Release 9.2, two new options are provided that you can use to determine the maximum frequency with which hitless rebuilds can occur before a full rebuild of the node is started. See "Attributes" section for more information on hitless rebuild.


Table 1-28:
IGX cnfnodeparm Command Parameters
Index Parameter Description Default

In inter-domain connections, Network Inter-p Period is the number of milliseconds to wait for a response to a communication test transmission before declaring a failure. The maximum is four failures.

4000 (D)

7

Network Sliding Window Size

Controls the number of control card messages that the node can simultaneously transmit to the network. This parameter defines the number of no acknowledgments outstanding on a controller before NACKS is declared.

1 (D)

8

Number of Normal Timeouts

For intra-domain connections: Number of Normal Timeouts is the maximum number of normal network retransmissions before the node signals a communication break.

Number of Satellite Timeouts

Maximum number of satellite network retransmissions before the node signals a communication break.

6 (D)

11

Number of Blind Timeouts

Maximum number of communication fail timeouts and retransmissions performed when using the blind channel. "Blind" refers to the message being sent across the trunk without knowing what node is on the other end of the trunk. The Comm Fail test uses this blind channel, however, the Comm Fail application has a non-configurable limit of three (3) comm failures before declaring Comm Fail. For example, the network handler task will attempt to deliver the Comm Fail request message four (4) times before reporting a failure back to the Comm Fail application, which will retry twice more (each with four retries on the blind channel) before declaring Comm Fail.

The Number of Blind Timeouts parameter is the number of communication fail timeouts and retransmissions performed when using the blind channel.

26

CBUS Delay

Specifies the minimum number of milliseconds the NPC or NPM must wait before it places the next command on the CBUS.

20 (D)

27

SNMP Event Logging

Enables maintenance logging of global SNMP messages. These SNMP events are not errors but any GET, SET, and so on. Output goes to a printer connected to the node's auxiliary port or a terminal server (accessible via telnet). Without a connected output device, the parameter is meaningless.

y=yes

28

TFTP Grant Delay (sec)

The number of seconds the node waits before resending a TFTP request after a TFTP error has occurred. This field is display-only: you set the value in Cisco WAN Manager.

1

29

TFTTP ACK Timeout (sec)

The number of seconds the node waits for an acknowledgment of a TFTP request before it declares the request as timed out. This field is display-only: you set the value in Cisco WAN Manager.

31

FRP/FRM Link Status Alarm

Determines whether a signaling failure on an FRP or FRM port causes a major alarm. This parameter applies to any port configured as an NNI.

y=yes

32

Job Lock Timeout

The range is 1-1000 seconds. The default of 0 disables this parameter.

0

33

Max Via LCONs

The maximum number of "via" connections a node can support. (A via connection does not terminate on the node but merely passes through.) This maximum is configurable, but you cannot lower the number below the current limit on the node. The default is the current maximum and should remain unchanged for normal operating conditions.

On an IGX node: 20000

On a BPX node: 50000

34

Max Blind Segment Size

The maximum size of each segment of a blind message. (The full message may be longer than the segment, especially in a large network.) A blind message is a message the local node sends to the far end node when you execute addtrk. If the trunk has many errors, smaller message segments increase the possibility of a successful addtrk. Under normal conditions, this parameter should remain the default.

3570

35

Max XmtMemBlks per NIB

Maximum number of memory blocks available for messages that are awaiting transmission. Under normal conditions, this parameter should remain the default.

3000

36

Max Mem stby update Q size

Maximum number of update messages that can reside in queues awaiting transmission to the standby processor. This percentage is used to determine when to flush the standby message queue when the percentage is reached. Only rare circumstances could provide a reason to change this parameter, so do not change it without first consulting the TAC.

5000

37

Trk Cell Rtng Restrict

Specifies whether or not trunks on a UXM on an IGX node can route only cell traffic. The Trk Cell Rtng Restrict parameter lets you specify a default for an option to the addcon command; that is, you can specify what the addcon parameter "Trunk cell routing restricted" prompts the user as a default, for example: "Trunk cell routing restricted? y/n [y]" or "Trunk cell routing restricted? y/n [n]." If "n" is specified, then fast-packet based routing is used.

When adding or configuring ATM connections, this prompt will display for all connections (for example, CBR, ABR, UBR, and so on.) except for real-time VBR (rt-VBR) connections because rt-VBR connections should not be routed over FastPacket trunks.

Yes/No

38

Stat Config Proc Cnt

Stat Config Proc Cnt is the number of statistics that will be enabled before pausing and allowing other processes to run. The default value of 1000 specifies that 1000 statistics should be enabled. But the count is only checked once for every object, so if the number of objects exceeds the count there will be one statistic enabled for each object.

For example, if there are 1000 connections and the default count is set, one statistic will be enabled for each connection before pausing. If there are 2000 connections, one statistic will be enabled for each connection, then the number of statistics enabled (2000) will be compared to the count (1000). Since the number enabled exceeds the count, the enabling of statistics will pause.

1000
(where count is between 1 and 100000)

39

Stat Config Proc Delay

Specifies the amount of time in milliseconds (ms) that statistics processing pauses between enabling passes. On a heavily loaded switch, you may increase this number to reduce the load when enabling statistics, but the enabling process takes longer.

The total (approximate) amount of time to process a statistics enable request is calculated as shown below:

  total_time = (num_of_stats / count_per_pass) * delay_per_pass

where num_of_stats is the sum of all statistics for this switch

  (conns * conn stats + lines * line stats + ...)
  count_per_pass is described above
  delay_per_pass is described above

Using an example of a switch with 1000 connections (10 statistics per connection), three trunks (10 statistics per trunk), 10 ports (10 statistics per port), and the default settings (count = 1000, delay = 2000 msec) yields the following:

  total_time = ([(1000 * 10) + (3 * 10) + (10 * 10)] / 1000 * 2000
  = (10130 / 1000) * 2000
  = 11 * 2000

Enable Degraded Mode

Enables or disables the rebuild prevention feature on the node. Enabling this parameter causes a graceful switchover of the active controller card without having to do a rebuild. User connections and user traffic are maintained even when bugs or system overload would cause repeated aborts. Remaining updates are completed as fast as possible without affecting existing connections.

If this parameter is disabled and an abort occurs during the update of the standby processor, the node rebuilds. Note that on the IGX, the active/standby/fail lights on the active card do not flash (as they do on the BPX node to indicate that the node is in degraded mode).

If enabled, an abort condition will transition the node into degraded mode rather than rebuilding the node. You can disable this parameter (it is enabled by default) so that an abort will result in a rebuild. After degraded has been entered, a minimal set of functionality is available. (See the "High Priority Login" section for more information.) Disabled functions include provisioning and routing, network communications, event logging, and LAN access. However, connections continue to pass traffic. Once in degraded mode, a configurable parameter indicates whether to switch to the standby once it's ready.

If Enable Degraded Mode is enabled (Y), an abort condition will transition the node into degraded mode rather than rebuilding the node. You can disable this parameter so that an abort will result in a node rebuild.

Y (enabled)

41

Enable Feeder Alert

When degraded mode is entered, this parameter is set to yes, then a message is sent to the MGX 8220 interface shelves to update status of node so that connections will not fail. This parameter works in conjunction with degraded mode parameters (for example, Auto Switch on Degrade).

If Enable Feeder Alert is disabled (the default) or, due to network congestion, the messages cannot be exchanged between the hub and the feeder to disable LMI, manual intervention can still be achieved by using the addfdrlp and delfdrlp commands on the BPX. (Note that addfdrlp and delfdrlp commands are service-level commands and can be used only by Cisco personnel.)

[No is default] Yes/No

42

Trk Cell Rtng Restrict

Specifies whether connections can be routed using cell-based trunks only. The Trk Cell Rtng Restrict parameter lets you specify a default for an option to the addcon command; that is, you can specify what the addcon parameter "Trunk cell routing restricted" prompts the user as a default, for example: "Trunk cell routing restricted? y/n [y]" or "Trunk cell routing restricted? y/n [n]". If "n" is specified, then fast-packet based routing is used.

Yes/No

43

Enable Reroute on Comm Fail

Default value is FALSE. If there is communication failure, the node will not send the topology update message to the other nodes. If the value is set to TRUE, the node will send out a line change message and the remote nodes (master/slave) will deroute/condition the connections. You would sometimes use this parameter in conjunction with the Abit Notifications on LMI/ILMI Interface feature (which you enable with the cnfnodeparm SuperUser command). See the Abit Notifications feature description in the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference for information on the Abit Notifications feature.

[ N] (Y/N)

44

Auto Switch on Degrade

When degraded mode is entered, the standby card is updated and ready. If the default is enabled (yes) then the card switchover happens automatically. If this parameter is set to yes, when degraded mode is entered, then the standby card is ready, and the card switchover happens automatically.

After a node has entered degraded mode (see Enable Degraded Mode parameter), this parameter indicates whether to switch to the standby card once it is ready. The default setting is to enable switching. You can set this parameter to disable switching if you want to allow further time to diagnose the problem rather than switching to the other processor, or to stop switching due to repeated aborts.

[Yes is default] Yes/No

45

Max Degraded Aborts

Use this parameter to determine the maximum frequency with which degraded mode aborts can occur before some other action is taken. In other words, they will be used to threshold degraded mode aborts. Another action could be a full rebuild, or it could be entering degraded mode. The allowable configurable range is shown in the Default column to the right.

This parameter indicates the maximum number of aborts while in the degraded state. In the case where the processor continues to reset while in degraded mode, each reset will result in the processor staying in degraded mode unless this threshold has been reached, in which case the next reset will cause a full rebuild of the node. The desired result is to avoid infinite aborts while in degraded mode, which would essentially lock the node indefinitely.

You can set Max Degraded Aborts to its maximum value (255) to indicate that the processor will be allowed to abort indefinitely without going through a full rebuild. This approach can be used to avoid a full rebuild (which will impact the user plane) until an appropriate time is reached when it may be reset or replaced.

100 is default
(range is
0-100
or 255 (infinite)

46

Max Hitless Rebuild Count

Use this parameter to determine the maximum frequency with which hitless rebuilds can occur before some other action is taken. In other words, they will be used to threshold hitless rebuilds. Another action could be a full rebuild, or it could be entering degraded mode. The allowable configurable range is shown in the Default column to the right.

For example, using the default values of 100 for Max Hitless Rebuild Count and 1000 hours Hitless Counter Reset Time, a maximum of 100 hitless rebuilds can occur within a 1000 hour period before it is determined that degraded mode should be entered. For each hitless rebuild that occurs, if 1000 hours pass without the maximum hitless rebuild count having been exceeded, then that hitless rebuild will have aged beyond the point where it is still considered for thresholding purposes.

If the maximum hitless rebuild count is set to "255" for "infinite," then an unlimited number of hitless rebuilds can occur without the thresholding mechanism triggering a full rebuild or a change to degraded mode. In this case, the configurable hitless counter reset time will be ignored, no full rebuilds will be automatically performed. This allows you to determine when the best time is to manually perform a full rebuild, probably during a period of low traffic.

At the other extreme, if the maximum hitless rebuild is set to zero, then no hitless rebuilds will be attempted. This disables the feature.

When the configurable parameters Max Hitless Rebuild Count and Hitless Counter Reset Time are reconfigured, then the statistical counters for hitless rebuilds will be reset. The Max Hitless Rebuild Count and Hitless Counter Reset Time are new in Release 9.2, and will be stored in BRAM.

100
(range is
0-100
or 255 (infinite)

47

Hitless Counter Reset Time

Use this parameter to determine the maximum frequency with which hitless rebuilds can occur before some other action is taken. In other words, they will be used to threshold hitless rebuilds. Another action could be a full rebuild, or it could be entering degraded mode. The allowable configurable range is shown in the Default column to the right.

For example, using the default values of 100 for Max Hitless Rebuild Count and 1000 hours Hitless Counter Reset Time, a maximum of 100 hitless rebuilds can occur within a 1000 hour period before it is determined that degraded mode should be entered. For each hitless rebuild that occurs, if 1000 hours pass without the maximum hitless rebuild count having been exceeded, then that hitless rebuild will have aged beyond the point where it is still considered for thresholding purposes.

If the maximum hitless rebuild count is set to "255" for "infinite", then an unlimited number of hitless rebuilds can occur without the thresholding mechanism triggering a full rebuild or a change to degraded mode. In this case, the configurable hitless counter reset time will be ignored, no full rebuilds will be automatically performed. This allows you to determine when the best time is to manually perform a full rebuild, probably during a period of low traffic.

At the other extreme, if the maximum hitless rebuild is set to zero, then no hitless rebuilds will be attempted. This disables the feature.

When the configurable parameters Max Hitless Rebuild Count and Hitless Counter Reset Time are reconfigured, then the statistical counters for hitless rebuilds will be reset. The Max Hitless Rebuild Count and Hitless Counter Reset Time are new in Release 9.2, and will be stored in BRAM.

1000 hours
(range is 1-1000)

48

Send Abit Early

Specifies whether Abit is sent on deroute. The default is set to no initially. If you issue this command again, the prompt then shows the previously-provisioned value.

Use the Send Abit Early parameter (option 48) to enable or disable the Abit Notifications feature. (The default is "N" which means the Abit Notifications feature is disabled.) If the Send Abit Early parameter is set to N, then the settings for parameter 49 (Abit Timer Multiplier M) and parameter 50 (Abit Timer Granularity N) are ignored and have no effect.

After you enable the Send Abit Early parameter by setting it to yes, you can set the Abit Timer Granularity N and Abit Timer Multiplier M parameters.

The Send Abit Early parameter works on conjunction with the Abit Timer Multiplier M and Abit Timer Granularity N parameters. You must set the Send Abit Early parameter to yes to enable it, then you can set the Abit Timer Multiplier M and Abit Timer Granularity N parameters.

The different Abit behavior in Release 9.2 is completely local to the node and is applicable to the master and slave ends of connections when the connections are derouted. When only one of the nodes connected by a connection has the Send Abit Early enabled (set to "Y"), the timing in which that the Abit notification feature is sent at one end of the connection may be drastically different from the other end of the connection. Thus, it is recommended that the Send Abit Early parameter be configured the same on all nodes.

For more information on the Send Abit Notification on ILMI/LMI using Configurable Timer feature, refer to the "Sending Abit Notification on ILMI/LMI Using Configurable Timer" section in the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference, Release 9.2 manual.

[N is default] (Y/N)

49

Abit Timer Multiplier M

The Abit Timer Multiplier M and Abit Timer Granularity N parameters are used in conjunction with the Send Abit Early parameter. You must set the Send Abit Early parameter to yes to enable it, then you can set Abit Timer Multiplier M and Abit Timer Granularity N parameters.

You can set the Abit Timer Multiplier M option from 0 to 100. The default value is 0. When you execute the cnfnodeparm command, the prompt shows the previously-configured value, or the default value if no upgrade or no configuration on these values was done previously.

A value "X" is the time to wait before Abit = 0 is sent out if the connection is in a derouted state. A connection derouted at a time period between 0 and N will send out Abit = 0 at a time between X and X + N, if the connection continues to be in a derouted state. In cases where there are many Abit status changes to report to the CPE, the last Abit updates may be delayed much longer because Abit updates process about 47 connections per second. To make a compromise between performance and the granularity of timers, Abit Timer Multiplier N can be configured to be from 3 to 255 seconds. The bigger the value of N, the better the system performance will be.

The value of X is M * N (Abit Timer Multiplier M * Abit Timer Granularity N values). To compromise between performance and the granularity of timers, N can be configured to be from 3 to 255 seconds; the bigger the value of N, the better the system performance will be. The value of X (M * N) is set such that M can be configured to be from 0 to 100. The default value for N is 3 seconds. The default value for M is 0, meaning Abit = 0 sent out on deroute.

It is recommended that the value of X (value of Abit Timer Multiplier M * value of Abit Timer Granularity N) be set such that when a trunk fails, the connections are given sufficient time to reroute successfully, avoiding the need to send out Abit = 0.

If the value of X is set to be smaller than the normal time to reroute connections when a trunk fails, the time to complete rerouting them may take longer. This can happen for line cards and feeder trunks that have LMI/ILMI protocol runs on those cards, such as BXM on BPX and Frame Relay cards on IGX. Note that it takes time for those cards to process Abit status information for each connection coming from controller card through CommBus messages.

To follow the general Release 9.2 interoperability, it is recommended that the Abit Notifications feature not be used when the standby control processor is in a locked state.

[Default is 0]

(D)

50

Abit Timer Granularity N

You can set the Abit Timer Granularity N option from 3 to 255 seconds. The default value is 3 seconds. You use the Abit Timer Granularity N and Abit Timer Multiplier M parameters in conjunction with the Send Abit Early parameter to configure the Early Abit Notifications on LMI/ILMI Interface using Configurable Timer feature in Release 9.2 and beyond. (The Send Abit Early parameter must be enabled before you can set the Abit Timer Multiplier M and Abit Timer Granularity N parameters.)

The Early Abit Notifications feature lets the user specify the timer interval to wait before Abit = 0 is sent out if a connection fails to reroute and is in the derouted state too long. No precise timer is kept for each connection. Instead, all connections derouted during a certain time period go to the same bucket. This time period is "N", which defines the granularity of the timers, and is specified by the Abit Timer Granularity N parameter. Also, the value "X" is the time to wait before Abit = 0 is sent out if the connection is in a derouted state. A connection that is derouted at a time period between 0 and N will send out Abit = 0 at a time between X and X + N if the connection continues to be in a derouted state. In cases where there are many Abit status changes to report to the CPE, the last Abit updates may be delayed much longer because Abit updates process about 47 connections per second.

To compromise between performance and the granularity of timers, you can configure the N value (Abit Timer Granularity N) to be from 3 to 255 seconds. The bigger the value of N, the better the system performance will be. The value of X should be M * N, where M can be configured to be from 0 to 100. The default value for N (specified by the Abit Timer Multiplier N parameter) is 3 seconds. The default value for M is 0, meaning that Abit = 0 is sent out on deroute. It is recommended that the value of X (Abit Timer Multiplier M value * Abit Timer Granularity N value) be set such that when a trunk fails, the connections are given sufficient time to reroute successfully, avoiding the need to send out Abit = 0.

[Default is 3 seconds]

31

TFTP Write Retries

The number of times the node retries a TFTP operation (not just writes) after a failed attempt. This field is display-only: you set the value in Cisco WAN Manager.

3

32

SNMP Event logging

Enables maintenance logging of global SNMP messages. These SNMP events are not errors but any GET, SET, and so on. Output goes to a printer connected to the node's auxiliary port or a terminal server (accessible via telnet). Without a connected output device, the parameter is meaningless.

y=yes

33

Job Lock Timeout

The range is 1-1000 seconds. The default of 0 disables this parameter.

60

34

Max Via LCONs

The maximum number of "via" connections a via node can support. The default is the maximum for the node and should remain the default under normal operating conditions.

50000

35

Max Blind Segment Size

The maximum size of each segment of a blind message. (The full message may be longer than the segment, especially in a large network.) A blind message is a message the local node sends to the far end node when you execute addtrk. If the trunk has many errors, smaller message segments increase the possibility of a successful addtrk. Under normal conditions, this parameter should remain the default.

3570

36

Max XmtMemBlks per NIB

Maximum number of memory blocks available for messages that are awaiting transmission. Under normal conditions, this parameter should remain the default.

3000

37

Max Mem on Stby Q (%)

Maximum number of update messages that can reside in queues awaiting transmission to the standby processor. This percentage is used to determine when to flush the standby message queue when the percentage is reached. Only rare circumstances could provide a reason to change this parameter, so do not change it without first consulting the TAC.

5000

38

Stat Config Proc Cnt

Stat Config Proc Cnt is the number of statistics that will be enabled before pausing and allowing other processes to run. The default value of 1000 specifies that 1000 statistics should be enabled. But the count is only checked once for every object, so if the number of objects exceeds the count there will be one statistic enabled for each object.

For example, if there are 1000 connections and the default count is set, one statistic will be enabled for each connection before pausing. If there are 2000 connections, one statistic will be enabled for each connection, then the number of statistics enabled (2000) will be compared to the count (1000). Since the number enabled exceeds the count, the enabling of statistics will pause.

1000
(where count is between 1 and 100000)

39

Stat Config Proc Delay

Specifies the amount of time in milliseconds (ms) that statistics processing pauses between enabling passes. On a heavily loaded switch, you may increase this number to reduce the load when enabling statistics, but the enabling process takes longer.

The total (approximate) amount of time to process a statistics enable request is calculated as shown below:

  total_time = (num_of_stats / count_per_pass) * delay_per_pass

where num_of_stats is the sum of all statistics for this switch

  (conns * conn stats + lines * line stats + ...)
  count_per_pass is described above
  delay_per_pass is described above

Using an example of a switch with 1000 connections (10 statistics per connection), three trunks (10 statistics per trunk), 10 ports (10 statistics per port), and the default settings (count = 1000, delay = 2000 msec) yields the following:

  total_time = ([(1000 * 10) + (3 * 10) + (10 * 10)] / 1000 * 2000
  = (10130 / 1000) * 2000
  = 11 * 2000
  = 22000 msec
  = 22 seconds

2000
(where delay is between 50 and 60000 ms)

40

Enable Degraded Mode

Enables or disables the rebuild prevention feature on the node. Enabling this parameter causes a graceful switchover of the active controller card without having to do a rebuild. User connections and user traffic are maintained even when bugs or system overload would cause repeated aborts. Remaining updates are completed as fast as possible without affecting existing connections.

If this parameter is disabled and an abort occurs during the update of the standby processor, the node rebuilds. On the BPX, the active/standby/fail lights on the active card flash at the same time indicating the node is in degraded mode.

No (disabled)

41

Trk Cell Rtng Restrict

Specifies whether connections can be routed using cell-based trunks only. The Trk Cell Rtng Restrict parameter lets you specify a default for an option to the addcon command; that is, you can specify what the addcon parameter "Trunk cell routing restricted" prompts the user as a default, for example: "Trunk cell routing restricted? y/n [y]" or "Trunk cell routing restricted? y/n [n]". If "n" is specified, then fast-packet based routing is used.

Yes/No

42

Enable Feeder Alert

When degraded mode is entered, this parameter is set to yes, then a message is sent to the MGX 8220 interface shelves to update status of node so that connections will not fail. This parameter works in conjunction with degraded mode parameters (for example, Auto Switch on Degrade).

If Enable Feeder Alert is disabled (the default) or, due to network congestion, the messages cannot be exchanged between the hub and the feeder to disable LMI, manual intervention can still be achieved by using the addfdrlp and delfdrlp commands on the BPX. (Note that addfdrlp and delfdrlp commands are service-level commands and can be used only by Cisco personnel.)

[No is default] Yes/No

43

Reroute on Comm Failure

Default value is False. If there is communication failure, the node will not send the topology update message to the other nodes. If the value is set to True, the node will send out a line change message and the remote nodes (master/slave) will deroute/condition the connections.

You would sometimes use this parameter in conjunction with the Abit Notifications on LMI/ILMI Interface feature (which you enable with the cnfnodeparm SuperUser command). See the Cisco WAN Switch Command Reference for information on the Abit Notifications feature.

True/False

44

Auto Switch on Degrade

When degraded mode is entered, the standby card is updated and ready. If the default is enabled (yes) then the card switchover happens automatically. If this parameter is set to yes, when degraded mode is entered, then the standby card is ready, and the card switchover happens automatically.

[Yes is default] Yes/No

45

Max Degraded Aborts

Use this parameter to determine the maximum frequency with which degraded mode aborts can occur before some other action is taken. In other words, they will be used to threshold degraded mode aborts. Another action could be a full rebuild, or it could be entering degraded mode. The allowable configurable range is shown in the Default column to the right.

For example, using the default values of 100 for Max Hitless Rebuild Count, and 1000 hours Hitless Counter Reset Time, a maximum of 100 hitless rebuilds can occur within a 1000 hour period before it is determined that degraded mode should be entered. For each hitless rebuild that occurs, if 1000 hours pass without the maximum hitless rebuild count having been exceeded, then that hitless rebuild will have aged beyond the point where it is still considered for thresholding purposes.

100 is default

(range is
0-100
or 255 (infinite)

46

Max Hitless Rebuild Count

Use this parameter to determine the maximum frequency with which hitless rebuilds can occur before some other action is taken. In other words, they will be used to threshold hitless rebuilds. Another action could be a full rebuild, or it could be entering degraded mode. The allowable configurable range is shown in the Default column to the right.

For example, using the default values of 100 for Max Hitless Rebuild Count, 1000 hours Hitless Counter Reset Time, a maximum of 100 hitless rebuilds can occur within a 1000 hour period before it is determined that degraded mode should be entered. For each hitless rebuild that occurs, if 1000 hours pass without the maximum hitless rebuild count having been exceeded, then that hitless rebuild will have aged beyond the point where it is still considered for thresholding purposes.

If the maximum hitless rebuild counts is set to "255" for "infinite," then an unlimited number of hitless rebuilds can occur without the thresholding mechanism triggering a full rebuild or a change to degraded mode. In this case, the configurable hitless counter reset time will be ignored, no full rebuilds will be automatically performed. This allows you to determine when the best time is to manually perform a full rebuild, probably during a period of low traffic.

At the other extreme, if the maximum hitless rebuild is set to zero, then no hitless rebuilds will be attempted. This disables the feature.

When the configurable parameters Max Hitless Rebuild Count and Hitless Counter Reset Time are reconfigured, then the statistical counters for hitless rebuilds will be reset. The Max Hitless Rebuild Count and Hitless Counter Reset Time are new in Release 9.2, and will be stored in BRAM.

100

(range is
0-100
or 255 (infinite)

47

Hitless Counter Reset Time

Use this parameter to determine the maximum frequency with which hitless rebuilds may occur before some other action is taken. In other words, they will be used to threshold hitless rebuilds. Some other action could be a full rebuild, or it could be entering degraded mode. The allowable configurable range is shown in the Default column to the right.

For example, using the default values of 100 for Max Hitless Rebuild Count, 1000 hours Hitless Counter Reset Time, a maximum of 100 hitless rebuilds may occur within a 1000 hour period before it is determined that degraded mode should be entered. For each hitless rebuild that occurs, if 1000 hours pass without the maximum hitless rebuild count having been exceeded, then that hitless rebuild will have aged beyond the point where it is still considered for thresholding purposes.

1000 hours

(range is 1-1000)

Send Abit Early

Specifies whether Abit is sent on deroute. The default is set to no initially. If you issue this command again, the prompt then shows the previously provisioned value.

Use the Send Abit Early parameter (option 48) to enable or disable the Abit Notifications feature. (The default is "N" which means the Abit Notifications feature is disabled.) If the Send Abit Early parameter is set to N, then the settings for parameter 49 (Abit Timer Multiplier M) and parameter 50 (Abit Timer Granularity N) are ignored and have no effect.

After you enable the Send Abit Early parameter by setting it to yes, you can set the Abit Timer Granularity N and Abit Timer Multiplier M parameters.

The Send Abit Early parameter works in conjunction with the Abit Timer Multiplier M and Abit Timer Granularity N parameters. You must set the Send Abit Early parameter to yes to enable it, then you can set the Abit Timer Multiplier M and Abit Timer Granularity N parameters.

Note that a preRelease 9.1.07 node or Release 9.1.07 node with the Release 9.1.07 cnfnodeparm Send Abit immediately parameter turned off behaves the same way as a Release 9.2 node with the Early Abit Notifications on ILMI/LMI Interface using Configurable Timer feature disabled. A 9.1.07 node with the cnfnodeparm Send Abit immediately parameter turned on behaves the same as a Release 9.2 node with the Send Abit Early (option 48 in cnfnodeparm) set to yes and the Abit Timer Multiplier M (option 49 in cnfnodeparm) set to 0.

The different Abit behavior in Release 9.2 is completely local to the node and is applicable to the master and slave ends of connections when the connections are derouted. When only one of the nodes connected by a connection has the Send Abit Early enabled (set to "Y"), the timing in which that the Abit notification feature is sent at one end of the connection may be drastically different from the other end of the connection. Thus, it is recommended that the Send Abit Early parameter be configured the same on all nodes.

For more information on the Send Abit Notification on ILMI/LMI using Configurable Timer feature, refer to "Sending Abit Notification on ILMI/LMI Using Configurable Timer" section in the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference, Release 9.2 manual.

[N is default] (Y/N)

49

Abit Timer Multiplier M

The Abit Timer Multiplier M and Abit Timer Granularity N parameters are used in conjunction with the Send Abit Early parameter. You must set the Send Abit Early parameter to yes to enable it, then you can set Abit Timer Multiplier M and Abit Timer Granularity N parameters.

You can set the Abit Timer Multiplier M option from 0 to 100. The default value is 0. When you execute the cnfnodeparm command, the prompt shows the previously configured value, or the default value if no upgrade or no configuration on these values was done previously.

A value "X" is the time to wait before Abit = 0 is sent out if the connection is in a derouted state. A connection derouted at a time period between 0 and N will send out Abit = 0 at a time between X and X + N , if the connection continues to be in a derouted state. In cases where there are many Abit status changes to report to the CPE, the last Abit updates may be delayed much longer because Abit updates process about 47 connections per second. To make a compromise between performance and the granularity of timers, Abit Timer Multiplier N can be configured to be from 3 to 255 seconds. The bigger the value of N, the better the system performance will be.

The value of X is M * N (Abit Timer Multiplier M * Abit Timer Granularity N values). To compromise between performance and the granularity of timers, N can be configured to be from 3 to 255 seconds; the bigger the value of N, the better the system performance will be. The value of X (M * N) is set such that M can be configured to be from 0 to 100. The default value for N is 3 seconds. The default value for M is 0, meaning Abit = 0 sent out on deroute.

It is recommended that the value of X (value of Abit Timer Multiplier M * value of Abit Timer Granularity N) be set such that when a trunk fails, the connections are given sufficient time to reroute successfully, avoiding the need to send out Abit = 0.

If the value of X is set to be smaller than the normal time to reroute connections when a trunk fails, the time to complete rerouting them may take longer. This can happen for line cards and feeder trunks that have LMI/ILMI protocol runs on those cards, such as BXM on BPX and Frame Relay cards on IGX. Note that it takes time for those cards to process Abit status information for each connection coming from controller card through CommBus messages.

Note that a preRelease 9.1.07 node or a 9.1.07 node with the Send Abit Early parameter turned off behaves the same way as a Release 9.2 node with the Release 9.2 Early Abit Notifications feature disabled. A 9.1.07 node with the Send Abit Early parameter turned on behaves the same way as a Release 9.2 node with the Send Abit Early parameter set to on, and the Abit Timer Multiplier M parameter set to 0.

To follow the general Release 9.2 interoperability, it is recommended that the Abit Notifications feature not be used when the standby control processor is in a locked state.

[Default is 0]

(D)

50

Abit Timer Granularity N

You can set the Abit Timer Granularity N option from 3 to 255 seconds. The default value is 3 seconds. You use the Abit Timer Granularity N and Abit Timer Multiplier M parameters in conjunction with the Send Abit Early parameter to configure the Early Abit Notifications on LMI/ILMI Interface using the Configurable Timer feature in Release 9.2 and beyond. (The Send Abit Early parameter must be enabled before you can set the Abit Timer Multiplier M and Abit Timer Granularity N parameters.)

The Early Abit Notifications feature lets the user specify the timer interval to wait before Abit = 0 is sent out if a connection fails to reroute and is in the derouted state too long. No precise timer is kept for each connection. Instead, all connections derouted during a certain time period go to the same bucket. This time period is "N", which defines the granularity of the timers, and is specified by the Abit Timer Granularity N parameter. Also, the value "X" is the time to wait before Abit = 0 is sent out if the connection is in a derouted state. A connection that is derouted at a time period between 0 and N will send out Abit = 0 at a time between X and X + N if the connection continues to be in a derouted state. In cases where there are many Abit status changes to report to the CPE, the last Abit updates may be delayed much longer because Abit updates process about 47 connections per second.

To compromise between performance and the granularity of timers, you can configure the N value (Abit Timer Granularity N) to be from 3 to 255 seconds. The bigger the value of N, the better the system performance will be. The value of X should be M * N, where M can be configured to be from 0 to 100. The default value for N (specified by the Abit Timer Multiplier N parameter) is 3 seconds. The default value for M is 0, meaning that Abit = 0 is sent out on deroute. It is recommended that the value of X (Abit Timer Multiplier M value * Abit Timer Granularity N value) be set such that when a trunk fails, the connections are given sufficient time to reroute successfully, avoiding the need to send out Abit = 0.

[Default is 3 seconds]

FBTC with PPD Policing

If you have installed a BXM card with the RCMP (Routing Control Monitoring and Policing) chip, which supports PPD on policing, you may enable this feature by setting this parameter to Y. Older BXM cards do not support PPD on policing.

After enabling this parameter, a warning appears: "Warning: Must switchyred or reset PPDPolic BXM line cards after change." Note that these operations are not supported in remote NMS stations.

Next you must choose one of two options by entering either Y or N:

Y - BXM FBTC on thresholds & PPD policing
This option is supported only on BXM cards with the new version of the RCMP chip that provides this functionality.

N - BXM FBTC on thresholds
Provides FBTC on CLP thresholds only.

Although it is not recommended to use both an older BXM card and a BXM card that supports PPD on policing on a y-redundant pair, you can do so. The severity of the feature mismatch is minor because FBTC can still function based on the CLP thresholds on the BXM card that does not support PPD on policing. This parameter is a one-time installation task; it should not be frequently changed.

cnfnwip (Configure Network IP Address)

The cnfnwip command configures an IP address and subnet mask for the node.

Attributes

Syntax
cnfnwip <IPAddr> <IPSubnetMask>

<IPAddr>

IP address of the node: the format is nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, where nnn can be 1-255

<IPSubnetMask>

subnet mask: the format is nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn



An example of this command is:

  cnfnwip 199.35.96.217 255.255.255.0
  where 199.35.96.217 is the IP address, and 255.255.255.0 is the subnet mask.
Function

The network IP address and subnet mask support statistics collection for Cisco WAN Manager. The cnfnwip command defines the IP address the system uses to pass messages between Cisco WAN Manager and the node. The Statistics Master process in Cisco WAN Manager Network collects statistics. The Statistics Manager requests and receives statistics using TFTP Get and Put messages. These TFTP messages pass between the node and the Statistics Master using IP Relay. (See the cnfstatmast description for details on setting the Statistics Master address.) For an example of the cnfnwip command, refer to the screen in Figure 1-32.

cnfphyslnstats (Configure Physical Line Statistics)

The cnfphyslnstats command configures parameters for circuit line statistics collection. This is a debug command that applies to physical lines on a UXM that is using Inverse Multiplexing Over ATM (IMA)—a logical trunk configuration.

In Release 9.2, for virtual trunking, physical line statistics apply to each physical port. In the case of IMA trunks, the physical line statistics are tallied separately for each T1 port.

IMA physical line alarms are a special case. Each IMA trunk port has a configurable number of retained links. If the number of non-alarmed lines is less than the number of retained links, the logical trunks on the IMA trunk port are placed into major alarm.

For example, consider there are IMA virtual trunks 4.5-8.2 and 4.5-8.7. Further, the number of retained links on 4.5-8 has been configured to 2. If 4.5 and 4.6 go into LOS (loss of signal), physical line alarms are generated for these two physical lines. The logical trunks 4.5-8.2 do not go into alarm because the two retained links are still healthy. In this situation, the bandwidth on the logical trunks is adjusted downward to prevent cell drops, and the connections on those trunks are rerouted. If a third line goes into alarm, the logical trunks are then failed.

The cnfphyslnstats command lets you configure the following additional physical line statistics (which support the ATM Forum compliant IMA protocol). A description of these statistics follows in Table 1-30.

Function

The cnfportstats command configures port statistics. The primary purpose of this command is debugging. Table 1-31 lists the configurable statistics for a Frame Relay port. For port statistics in general, refer to the actual cnfportstats screens on a node. Not all statistic types are applied to all ports. To see the statistics for Frame Relay, UXM, and ASI-155 ports, refer to Figure 1-38, Figure 1-39, and Figure 1-40, respectively.

In Figure 1-38, for example, the screen shows that the selected statistic is 33—the number of transmitted bytes while the ingress LMI is showing a failed condition. After the port number and statistic number (33) on the command line, the remaining parameters are the interval, enable for this statistic, number of samples, and so on.

cnfrobparm (Configure Robust Alarms Parameters)

The cnfrobparm command sets parameters associated with the Robust Alarms feature.

In Release 9.2, there are robust alarms for certain alarm conditions that appear in the maintenance log or in the node user interface but are not also reported as SNMP traps to the customer NMS. (Such traps are generated by the Cisco WAN Manager RTM proxy upon receiving Robust Alarms from a switch.) Robust Alarm messages are generated by the following alarm conditions:

In Release 9.2, the BPX generates power supply, temperature and fan alarms as is currently done for the IGX.

cnftermfunc (Configure Terminal Port Functions)

Configures port functions for the IGX or BPX control and auxiliary ports. The IGX nodes support two EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial ports on the SCC and SCM, respectively. The BPX node supports two EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial ports on the BCC. In all cases, the top port is the CONTROL TERMINAL port, and the lower port is the AUX PORT. The CONTROL TERMINAL port can connect to a control terminal, Cisco WAN Manager, a direct dial-in modem, or any external EIA/TIA-232 device. The AUX PORT can connect to a printer, an auto-dial modem to call a control center, or an external EIA/TIA-232 device.

The interface specified for the port must match the equipment physically attached to the port. The baud rate and other data transmission parameters for the port are set with the cnfterm command. If either port is configured as an external device window, enter the window command to begin a session with the external device.

If the auxiliary port is configured as an autodial modem, designate a "network ID" and a "phone number." Configuring the auxiliary port for an autodial modem enables the following to occur: When a change in alarm status happens anywhere in the network, the autodial modem attached to the auxiliary port dials the specified "phone number." If the call goes to the TAC, the alarm is logged under the specified "network ID." With this log, Cisco engineers are automatically notified of any problems that occur in the network.

cnftrafficgen

You can enable the Traffic Generation Test with the cnftrafficgen command and requires super user level permissions. The cnftrafficgen command interacts with the firmware, indicating that the functionality is to be turned on or off.

The cnftrafficgen command takes as input the following values:

The Traffic Generation Test completes when the requested number of frames or cells has been transmitted, or when the test is explicitly disabled for the PVC. It will not remain enabled indefinitely like the OAM Loopback Test.

The Traffic Generation test does not directly log alarms. It is assumed that alarms have been reported before you decide to run this intrusive test. You can view the status of the Traffic Generation test by using the dsptrafficgen command on the node.

Traffic Generation Test

For traffic generation, switch software sends a "Transmit Frame/Generate Traffic Command" to the card with parameters for PVC address, enable, type of pattern to use, and traffic generation direction. For Release 9.2, both the switch software and firmware only support "network" direction for the traffic generation direction. The card then takes care of generating the traffic and continues until all frames/cells are sent or are disabled. When a card receives a disable message, it stops any traffic generation currently running. There is a dsptrafficgen command that lets you view the status of traffic generation, which gives you information such as the PVC, and if it is enabled or not.

cnftrkparm (Configure Trunk Card Parameters)

Use the cnftrkparm command to set specified trunk parameters for the following front cards:

Function

Use the cnftrkparm command to optimize a network for particular traffic mixes. Use this command to configure any of the trunk-specific parameters associated with a trunk card. It applies to either a FastPacket trunk or an ATM trunk. For ATM trunks, cnftrkparm applies to both physical and virtual trunks. Spacer queues indicated for the CLP and FECN thresholds pertain to BTM cards in an IGX node.

You can also use this command to reconfigure trunk queue depths to meet the CEPT requirement for a maximum end-to-end delay of 10 milliseconds. For this purpose, enter the following:

  cnftrkparm <trunk number> <parameter index> <parameter value>

where: trunk number specifies the trunk.
parameter index is 2 (which corresponds to the NTS queue).
parameter value is 7 (which is the maximum allowable queue depth).

When the system receives this command and a trunk number, it displays the configurable parameters with an index number for each. The parameters vary with the trunk type, as the subsequent tables and figures show. Table 1-39, Table 1-40, and Table 1-41 list the parameters for trunks carrying FastPackets and ATM cells on different platforms as well as virtual trunks. Figure 1-46, Figure 1-47, Figure 1-48, and Figure 1-49 show the response when you specify a FastPacket line or trunk on a variety of platforms. A table follows one or two screen examples.

Configuring Virtual Trunks with cnftrkparm Command

BXM and UXM virtual trunks have all the configuration parameters for queues as physical trunks.

The integrated alarm thresholds for major alarms and the gateway efficiency factor is the same for all virtual trunks on the port. Note that BNI VTs are supported by a single queue and do not support configuration of all the OptiClass queues on a single virtual trunk.

Configuring Trunk Queues Used by Real-Time VBR and Non-Real-Time VBR Connections

Qbin values on both ports and trunks used by rt-VBR connections and nrt-VBR connections can be configured separately. (To configure Qbin values on ports, use cnfportq.)


Note The rt-VBR traffic type (or connection class) is supported on the IGX UXM and BPX BXM, ASI, and BNI cards. However, the rt-VBR class of service is not supported for BTM and ALM-A/B connection endpoints, nor is it supported on FastPacket trunks. It is also not supported on MGX 8850 or MGX 8220 interface shelves.

A rt-VBR connection uses the rt-VBR queue on a trunk. It shares this queue with voice traffic. The rt-VBR and voice traffic shares the default or user configured parameters for the rt-VBR queue. These parameters are queue depth, queue CLP high and CLP low thresholds, EFCI threshold, and queue priority.

A nrt-VBR connection uses the nrt-VBR queue on a trunk. The configurable parameters are queue depth, queue CLP high and CLP low thresholds, EFCI threshold, and queue priority.

See Figure 1-52 for a sample cnftrkparm screen and the parameters that can be configured for the various service type queues.

For information on configuring port queues used by rt-VBR and nrt-VBR connections, see the cnfportq command.

Table 1-39:
IGX Trunk Parameters
Index Parameter Description

1, 18

Yel/Red Alarm In/Out

Specifies a time period relating to when a trunk goes into a red or yellow alarm and after it comes out of the alarm state. The applicable type of alarm here stems from a physical line problem rather than from a statistical error. The purpose of this parameter is to prevent the switch from rerouting the connections after a very brief problem or from prematurely informing switch software that the trunk is back in service (after a failure). The implementation is

  • The "into" alarm value is the time the card waits after a local (red) or yellow (remote) problem occurs before the card alerts switch software of the problem.

  • The "out of" alarm value is the time the card waits after a local, physical problem is cleared before the card alerts switch software that the problem no longer exists.

2, 19

Rx/Tx Max. Age: - rt-VBR

Specifies a multiplier for 125-microsecond increments for the maximum age of rt-VBR (or voice) packets. For example, with the default of 20, the node discards rt-VBR (or voice) packets older than 2.5 seconds.

3, 20

Rx/Tx EFCN - BdataB

For packets or cells received from the trunk carrying Optimized Bandwidth Management Frame Relay, the node sets the FECN bit above this threshold.

4

Gateway Efficiency

Specifies an expected average number of FastPackets in each cell arriving from a trunk. The purpose of this parameter is to help switch software regulate bandwidth usage the cellbus in an IGX node. The range is 1.0-3.0. (This parameter does not apply to the BXM card.)

Note In Release 9.2.20, rt-VBR and voice connections both use the voice qbin on the trunk. Similarly, rt-VBR and voice traffic both share the default or user-configured voice qbin values for the trunk—Queue depth, CLP High/Low Threshold, EFCI Threshold, and Queue priority.


Table 1-40:
BXM Trunk Parameters
Index Parameter Description

1

Q Depth - rt-VBR

Specifies the queue depth in cells for rt-VBR and voice traffic. This parameter relates to item 7, Max Age - rt-VBR: if you increase the value for Max Age - rt-VBR, the node increases the size of the rt-VBR (or voice) Packet Queue because more voice packets can accumulate due to a greater age.

In Release 9.2, for BXM trunks, the rt-VBR and voice service types share the same queue (the rt-VBR queue). Similarly, for BXM trunks, rt-VBR and voice traffic share the default or user-configured voice Qbin values.

2

Q Depth - Non-TS

Specifies the queue depth in cells for non-time-stamped traffic.

3

Q Depth - TS

Specifies the queue depth in cells for time-stamped traffic.

4

Q Depth - BData A

Specifies the depth in cells for the bursty data A queue.

5

Q Depth - BData B

Specifies the depth in cells for the bursty data B queue.

6

Q Depth - High Pri

Specifies the queue depth in cells for high priority traffic.

7

Max Age - rt-VBR

Specifies a multiplier for 125-microsecond increments for the maximum age of rt-VBR (or voice) packets. For example, with the default of 20 microseconds, the node discards rt-VBR (or voice) packets older than 2.5 seconds. This value is the same as the default queue delay.

The Max Age - rt-VBR (or voice) qbin threshold can be calculated as follows: (20 * (125 microseconds) * num_ds0s/53 cells + 2) for any trunk.

This parameter relates to item 1, Q Depth - rt-VBR: if you increase the value for Max Age - rt-VBR, the node increases the size of the Voice (or rt-VBR) Packet Queue because more rt-VBR (or voice) packets can accumulate due to a greater age.

8

Red Alm - I/O (Dec)

Specifies a time period relating to when a trunk goes into red alarm and after it comes out of the alarm state. The applicable type of alarm here stems from a physical line problem rather than from a statistical error. The purpose of this parameter is to prevent the switch from rerouting the connections after a very brief problem or from prematurely informing switch software that the trunk is back in service (after a failure). The implementation is:

  • The "into" alarm value is the time the card waits after a local, physical problem occurs before the card alerts switch software of the problem.

  • The "out of" alarm value is the time the card waits after a local, physical problem is cleared before the card alerts switch software that the problem no longer exists.

9

Yel Alm - I/O (Dec)

Specifies a time period relating to when a trunk goes into yellow alarm and after it comes out of the alarm state. The applicable type of alarm here stems from a physical line problem rather than from a statistical error. The purpose of this parameter is to prevent the switch from rerouting the connections after a very brief problem or from prematurely informing switch software that the trunk is back in service (after a failure). The implementation is:

  • The "into" alarm value is the time the card waits after a remote, physical problem occurs before the card alerts local switch software of the problem.

  • The "out of" alarm value is the time the card waits after a remote, physical problem is cleared before the card alerts local switch software that the problem no longer exists.

10

Low CLP - BData A

Specifies a percent of the Bursty Data A queue. When the number of cells in the queue falls below this percentage, the switch stops discarding cells with CLP=1. The default of 100% disables the function, which causes the switch to discard all cells with CLP=1.

11

High CLP - BData A

Specifies a percent of the Bursty Data A queue. When the number of cells in the queue reaches this percentage, the switch begins to discard cells with CLP=1. The default of 100% disables the function, which causes the switch to discard all cells with CLP=1 regardless of the cell count in the queue.

12

Low CLP - BData B

Specifies a percent of the Bursty Data B queue. When the number of cells in the queue falls below this percentage, the switch stops discarding cells with CLP=1.

13

High CLP - BData B

Specifies a percent of the Bursty Data B queue. When the number of cells in the queue reaches this percentage, the switch begins to discard cells with CLP=1.

14

EFCN - BData B

Specifies the number of cells in the Bursty Data B queue that causes the switch to send congestion notification to the destination node. The default is low in relation to the default queue depth so that notification begins to go out as soon as congestion begins.

15

Q Depth - CBR

Specifies the depth of the queue dedicated to CBR traffic.

16

Q Depth - nrt-VBR

Specifies the depth of the queue dedicated to nrt-VBR traffic.

17

Q Depth - ABR

Specifies the depth of the queue dedicated to ABR traffic.

18

Low CLP - CBR

Specifies a percent of the CBR queue. When the number of cells in the queue falls below this percentage, the node stops discarding cells with CLP=1. The default of 100% disables the function, which causes the switch to discard all cells with CLP=1 regardless of the cell count in the queue. The reason the default is 100% is that, with CBR, congestion is not an expected condition.

19

High CLP - CBR

Specifies a percent of the CBR queue. When the number of cells in the queue reaches this percentage, the node begins to discard cells with CLP=1. The default of 100% disables the function, which causes the switch to discard all cells with CLP=1 regardless of the cell count in the queue. The reason the default is 100% is that, with CBR, congestion is not an expected condition.

20

Low CLP - nrt-VBR

Specifies a percent of the nrt-VBR queue. When the number of cells in the queue falls below this percentage, the node stops discarding cells with CLP=1. The default of 100% disables the function, which causes the switch to discard all cells with CLP=1 regardless of the cell count in the queue. The reason the default is 100% is that, with VBR, congestion is not an expected condition.

21

High CLP - nrt-VBR

Specifies a percent of the nrt-VBR queue. When the number of cells in the queue reaches this percentage, the node begins to discard cells with CLP=1. The default of 100% disables the function, which causes the switch to discard all cells with CLP=1 regardless of the cell count in the queue. The reason the default is 100% is that, with VBR, congestion is not an expected condition.

22

Low CLP - ABR

Specifies a percent of the ABR queue. When the number of cells in the queue falls below this percentage, the node stops discarding cells with CLP=1.

23

High CLP - ABR

Specifies a percent of the ABR queue. When the number of cells in the queue reaches this percentage, the node begins to discard cells with CLP=1.

24

EFCN - ABR

Specifies the number of cells in the ABR queue that causes the switch to send congestion notification to the destination node. The default is low in relation to the default queue depth so that notification begins to go out as soon as congestion begins.

25

SVC Queue Pool Depth

Specifies the collective size of the queue depth for all SVC connections.

Physical and Virtual Parameters You Can Configure Using cnftrkparm

All virtual trunks on a BNI card are supported by a single queue, therefore you cannot configure all the Advanced CoS Management queues on a single virtual trunk.

The UXM and BXM share the same queueing architecture. The egress cell traffic out a port is queued in two stages. First they are queued per virtual interface (VI), each of which supports a virtual trunk. Within each virtual interface, the traffic is queued according to its normal Advanced CoS Management traffic type. In other words, voice, Time-Stamped, Non Time-Stamped, High Priority, BData, BDataB, CBR, rt-VBR, nrt-VBR, and ABR traffic is queued separately.

The overall queue depth of the virtual interface is the sum of all the queue depths for all the available queues. Since each virtual trunk occupies one virtual interface (VI), the overall queue depth available for the virtual trunk is that of its VI. You do not configure the virtual interface directly, however, you use the cnftrkparm command to configure the queues within the virtual trunk.

Although the traffic consists of Frame Relay in cells, the traffic can pass through a BPX node. Therefore, the Bursty Data queues exist in the BPX node.

BXM and UXM virtual trunks have all the configuration parameters for queues that physical trunks have. The integrated alarm thresholds for major alarms and the gateway efficiency factor is the same for all virtual trunks on the port. Note that BNI virtual trunks are supported by a single queue and do not support configuration of all the Advanced CoS Management (formerly OptiClass) queues on a single virtual trunk.

Table 1-42 provides a list of physical and virtual parameters that you can configure using cnftrkparm. X in the table indicates that the parameter is configurable. X* in the virtual trunk column indicates the parameter is a physical parameter, and changing the value for one virtual trunk on the port will automatically cause all virtual trunks on the port to be updated with the same value.

cnftrkstats (Configure Trunk Statistics Collection)

The cnftrkstats command configures collection of statistics for a selected trunk.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

dsptrkstatcnf, dsptrkstathist

Syntax
cnftrkstats <line> <stat> <interval> <e|d> [<samples> <size> <peaks>]

<line>

specifies the trunk to configure.

<stat>

specifies the type of statistic to enable/disable.

<interval>

specifies the time interval of each sample (1-255 minutes).

<e|d>

enables/disables a statistic. 'E' to enable; 'D' to disable.

[samples]

specifies the number of samples to collect (1-255).

[size]

specifies the number of bytes per data sample (1, 2 or 4).

[peaks]

enables/disables collection of 10-second peaks. 'Y' enables; 'N' disables.



Function

The cnftrkstats command is primarily a debug command. It configures the collection of statistics for a physical or virtual trunk. After displaying all statistic types for the trunk, the system prompts for "statistic type." Enter the index number associated with the statistic.

Not all types of statistics are available for all lines. Unavailable selections appear in half-tone. Table 1-43 lists the types of statistics that are configurable for FastPacket T1 trunks and ATM T3 trunks. The subsequent figures show the screens associated with T1 packet trunks and T3 ATM trunks.

cnftstparm (Configure Card Test Parameters)

The cnftstparm command sets parameters for the internal diagnostic self tests that you can perform for each card type in the node.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

cnfdiagparm, dspcderrs, prtcderrs, tststats

Syntax

cnftstparm <tp> <freq> <s_e> <s_inc> <s_thr> <s_to> <b_e> <b_inc> <b_thr>

<tp>

Specifies the card type.

<freq>

Specifies the time between the completion of one test and the start of the next (in seconds; default is card-dependent). 1 sec-65535 secs. Default for BCC card is 1600 secs.

The recommended value for the BCC card is 1600 seconds.

<s_e>

Enables/disables the card self test. 'E' to enable; 'D' to disable.

<s_inc>

Specifies the threshold counter increment for self-test failures. Counter for each card-type: each failure increments. Default 100.

<s_thr>

Specifies the failure threshold for self tests. Default 300.

<s_to>

Specifies time to wait for a self test response (in seconds). How long to wait for a response depends on the card.

The recommended value for the self-test timeout value on the BCC card is 800 seconds. The value on the standby controller card will be maintained even if the active timeout value is less than 800, which prevents the self-test timeout value from changing during a switchover (after a switchcc command is run). For example, if you change the self-test timeout value to 900 on the standby controller card, and then do a switchcc, the self-test timeout value on the new active controller card will remain 900.

<b_e>

Enables/disables the card background test. 'E' to enable; 'D' to disable. Available tests depend on the card; some are not enabled.

<b_inc>

Specifies the threshold counter increment for background test failures.

<b_thr>

Specifies the failure threshold for background tests.

Function

This command sets internal diagnostic, self-test parameters. Upon receiving this command, the system displays a two-page screen illustrating each of the various card types equipped in the node along with their self-test parameters. Each card has two tests: a diagnostic self-test and a background test. The self-test affects the normal operation of the card. The background test can execute while the card is carrying traffic.

The following is a list of the configurable test parameters for each card type:

Table 1-45 describes the parameters of the cnfuvmchparm command.


Table 1-45:
cnfuvmchparm Parameters
Parameter Description

channel

Specifies the channel or range of channels.

value

"Value" consists of the following parameters:

VCU is the Voice codec unit. The value for this parameter is a noise level placed in a voice packet that is added in case a voice packet is dropped. The value you can enter is a multiplier for the base noise level of -10 dB. The range is 1-15 (multiplied by -10 dB). For example, if you enter 6, the level of noise placed in a replacement packet is -60 dB.

PIU is the PCM interface unit. The PIU performs a re-sampling and injects noise in case of lost packets. The range is 1-15 (which is a multiplier for -10 dB). For example, if you enter 6, the level of noise placed in a replacement packet is -60 dB.

VAD is the Voice Activity Detection threshold. If the deciBel level falls below the specified limit, no packets are transmitted. The range is 0-65535 and is a multiplier of -1 dB, but typical values are around 30-40.

Modem threshold is a threshold for modem tone detection. Below this threshold, the tone is ignored (or "not detected"). The range is 0-255 and is a multiplier
of -1 dB, but typical values are around 30-40.

All the other values appear as numbered columns. These are placeholders reserved for future development.

cnfvchparm (Configure Voice Channel Parameter)

The cnfvchparm command modifies CVM or CVM voice channel parameters.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX

Associated Commands

cnfCVMparm, dspchan

Syntax
cnfvchparm <channel(s)> <parameters>

channel(s)

Specifies the voice channel number(s) to configure.

parameters

Specifies values for the voice parameters (Table 1-45 lists parameters).



Function

The cnfvchparm command specifies voice card parameters for:

Table 1-46 lists the voice parameters you can specify with cnfvchparm. Table 1-47 lists some calculated examples for a sample delay for VAD and non-VAD connections.

Different versions of firmware for the CVM present different ways of specifying the level of background noise you can select to cover awkward periods of silence at the ends of voice connections. For cards with Model A firmware, you specify the actual level in dBm (deciBels) or dBrnC0. For Model A cards, you can specify the noise levels with a granularity of 0.1 dBm or dBrnC0. For cards with Model B firmware, you enter a number that maps to a noise level. Table 1-48 lists the numbers that correspond to the levels of injected background noise for Model B firmware.

The screen displays in Example 1 and Example 2 illustrate cnfvchparm applied to a Model A CDP and a Model B CDP, respectively. The display for Model A cards shows the deciBel level of the injected noise. The display for the Model B shows the number that corresponds to a deciBel (or dBrnC0) level of background noise.

After you enter cnfvchparm, the system displays "Enter channel(s)." After you enter the parameters, the system requests confirmation by displaying "Reconfigure active CDP channels? (y/n)."

Without the cnfvchparm command, the other ways to re-configure channels are


Table 1-46:
VF Channel Parameters
Parameter Description Default

Sample delay for VAD connections

diagbus (Diagnose Failed Bus)

The diagbus command is used to diagnose a failed IGX Muxbus or IGX Cellbus.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX

Associated Commands

none

Syntax

diagbus

Function

This command runs detailed diagnostics to isolate Muxbus problems to a failed card or bus. It is used when a minor alarm is indicated and displaying the alarm (dspalms) screen indicates the message "bus needs diagnosis."

This command can only be run locally with a terminal connected directly to the CONTROL port or remotely from a modem connection. It can not be executed through a VT (virtual terminal) command or when the node's CONTROL port is configured for Cisco WAN Manager mode.

Caution This command may cause a major disruption in service on all lines and connections and should only be run at a time when this can be tolerated.

Performing this test can result in a major disruption in the operation of the node. It should not be performed except as a last resort. To fully isolate the failure may require manual removal of cards, including controller cards and so forth. For this reason, the command may not be executed over a Virtual Terminal connection.

If the test is successful, and no problems found, the system displays:

  Both buses are OK

Otherwise, the system displays various messages to the operator for additional steps to perform in isolating the problem. These messages depend on the results of the diagnostics testing.

dspchstatcnf (Display Statistics Enabled for a Channel)

The dspchstatcnf command displays the configuration of enabled statistics for a channel.

You use the cnfcdparm command to configure the channel statistics level (level 1, 2, or 3) on a BXM and UXM card.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX

Associated Commands

cnfchstats, dspchstathist, cnfcdparm

Syntax

dspchstatcnf <channel>]

<channel>

Specifies the channel whose statistics configuration you want to display.

Function

The dspchstatcnf command displays the enabled interval statistics for a channel. It is intended to help debug problems with statistics gathering. The command output is a list of the connection statistics as set by the cnfchstats command, by Cisco WAN Manager or by IGX features. Figure 1-75 illustrates a typical example.

The Owner column identifies who or what set the statistic. If the Owner column shows "Automatic," the node's features set the statistic. If the node name appears under Owner, Cisco WAN Manager set the statistic. If the user name appears under Owner, the cnfchstats command executed from the command line interface set the statistic.

<channel>

Specifies the channel.

<stat>

Specifies the number of the statistic to view.

<owner>

Specifies the source of the selected statistics's original configuration (the choices are "auto," "user," and "tftp").

<interval>

Specifies the time period of statistics collection to display.

Function

This command displays a history of the enabled statistics for a selected channel. It is intended for debugging problems with statistics gathering. It displays the data for the number of samples specified in the configuration of the channel statistic. You select a statistic from the list in the dspchstathist display. Specify only an enabled statistic.

Use the dspchstatcnf command to display the statistics enabled on the selected channel. Record the statistics types enabled, the collection interval, and owner; you will need this information to obtain the statistics history. Use cnfchstats to enable a statistic if it is not already enabled. Figure 1-76 illustrates a display for channel 6.1 packets transmitted (1 second interval) history.

Syntax

dspchstats <channel> [interval]

<channel>

specifies the channel defined according to the channel type (slot.port.vpi.vci, slot.port.DLCI, or slot.port for ATM, Frame Relay, or voice or data, respectively).

<interval>

specifies the time interval of each sample (1-255 minutes).

Function

This command displays the enabled statistics for the selected channel. It is intended for debugging problems with statistics gathering. It displays the data for the last five occurrences of the channel statistic. You select the channel statistic from the list displayed when you first enter the command.

Use the dspchstats command to display the statistics enabled on the selected channel. Record the statistics types enabled, the collection interval, and owner—you will need this information to get the statistics history. Use cnfchstats to enable a statistic if it is not already enabled. You can use cnfchlevel to configure a BXM or UXM card to additional levels of statistics (level 2 and level 3) in addition to level 1 statistics. Figure 1-77 shows a display for channel statistics on a UXM port.

Syntax

dspclnstatcnf <line>

<line> Specifies the circuit line in the format slot or slot.line. If the card has only one line, you can enter just the slot.

Function

This command displays the circuit line statistics as enabled by the cnfclnstats command, by Cisco WAN Manager or by IGX features. See Figure 1-78 for an example display.

The Owner column shows what set the statistic. If the owner is "Automatic," the statistic was derived from the features. If the node name appears under Owner, the statistic came from Cisco WAN Manager. If "User" is under Owner, the source of the statistic was the cnfchstats command.

dsphitless (Display Statistical History of Hitless Rebuilds)

The dsphitless command displays the statistical history of hitless rebuilds that may have occurred within the configured thresholding period. This thresholding period is described under the cnfnodeparm command, under Index #42, Maximum Hitless Rebuild Count, and Index #43, Hitless Counter Reset Time parameters.

A statistical history of hitless rebuilds are stored in BRAM, and will survive a full rebuild. Two records of hitless rebuilds are maintained: one will contain information that is within the current thresholding window. When a full rebuild occurs, the hitless rebuild statistics from the current window will be moved to a saved area, and a new current window will begin.

You can enter some optional parameters with the dsphitless command, which displays either a summary screen or a detailed screen giving the history of hitless rebuilds. There can be two different versions of each screen, one for the current window and one for the saved previous window. See the Syntax section below for a list of optional parameters you can use with the dsphitless command.

If you do not provide any optional parameter, then the default values shown under "Syntax" will be used.

Refer to the screen under System Response to display the time and cause of each hitless rebuild that has occurred since the statistical record of hitless rebuilds was last cleared.

What Hitless Rebuild Feature Provides in Release 9.2

The Hitless Rebuild feature provides the ability for a node to effectively rebuild without affecting user traffic. It substantially decreases the time it takes for the BPX software to settle into its normal operating state after a rebuild.


Note The Hitless Rebuild feature is internal to the switch software on a node. If there is a problem with the node, switch software takes care of it; no user intervention is needed. Following information is provided to explain what happens in switch software when a hitless rebuild occurs.

In recent releases, much work has gone into the control software to prevent restarts. Better queue memory management techniques, faster standby updates, Soft Reset, and Rebuild Prevention are all examples. However, if it is necessary to restart the control software, and a switchover is not possible, then the node will still do a full rebuild. A node with many connections may take a couple of hours to restore itself fully to the network. In the meantime, it is in communication break with some nodes and some network connections are not routed or are not on their preferred routes.

The way to prevent rebuilds is to be able to do a software restart on the processor card without doing a full rebuild of the system. In particular, it is necessary to avoid resetting the line or trunk cards, or interfere with user traffic in any way during the control software restart. This concept is known as a "hitless rebuild".

Purpose of Hitless Rebuild

Hitless Rebuild is a modification of control software restart to prevent a full configuration rebuild of the node being done. During most software restarts, the interface cards are not reset to preserve their configurations. In particular, the case where the standby processor card is failed or absent, and the active card must abort will no longer cause a full rebuild.

Acronyms

BRAM Battery-backed RAM. This is where permanent configuration information for a node is kept.

CC Control Card, or processor card. The control card on the BPX is the BCC.

DB Database. An element in the current configuration state of the system. This includes both derived information, such as current route, and configured information, such as preferred route. Some databases are stored in BRAM so that they survive system initializations and power outages. The Hitless Rebuild feature in Release 9.2 affects databases stored in RAM.

pSOS The off-the-shelf operating system kernel used with switch software that runs on the BPX and IGX.

Software Revisions and Interoperability

The Hitless Rebuild feature requires Release 9.2 or later switch software, and works on both the BPX and IGX platforms. This feature is local to a node. Hitless Rebuild will function correctly on nodes that are running software that contains the feature, even in a network with mixed software releases, some of which do not have the feature.

Hitless Rebuild will operate during upgrades, but will not operate during a downgrade. If a failure occurs that would normally result in a controller card switchover, but the switchover needs to be suppressed due to the different software releases running on the two processors, then a hitless rebuild will be done instead.

If a backoff must be done from an upgrade, then a full rebuild will occur. A backoff refers to the state where the new switch software revision has been loaded as the secondary image, and the decision is made to go back to the original revision.

There are no operational problems if, during an upgrade, the new release of software has the Hitless Rebuild feature and the older release does not. Hitless Rebuild will just operate on the processor card with the newer release.

Description of how Hitless Rebuild Works

The purpose of the Hitless Rebuild feature is to minimize the impact on user traffic when a processor card must reinitialize. Unlike with a full rebuild, the effect of a control plane failure should have minimal impact upon the user plane. Line and trunk cards should not be reset during a hitless rebuild. Rather than having a node with many connections take up to two hours to restore itself fully to the network, a hitless rebuild will take, at most, only a little longer than a processor card switchover. All existing user connections should be maintained through the initialization. LMI continuity and trunk state should also be preserved.

During a traditional full rebuild, all databases are rebuilt from BRAM. The approach to doing a hitless rebuild is to maintain databases that cannot be rebuilt without affecting user connections, and to rebuild from BRAM any that will not affect user connections. Some key consistency checking of the preserved databases will be performed, such as topology consistency checking, to ensure that the hitless rebuild will work.

In general, almost all software aborts will result in a processor card switchover. If this is not possible, then a hitless rebuild will usually be done. Hitless rebuild is used only when a switch to the standby processor card is not possible or reasonable. For more details on specific types of potential problems that lead to hitless rebuilds or other types of initializations, see Table 1-53, Echo Canceller Parameters.

The main functional difference in behavior from previous switch software release is that after a rebuild, the control software will settle quickly into its normal operating state, rather than taking a very long time to reset cards and reroute connections.

You use the CLI to enable/disable the Hitless Rebuild feature, and to configure the maximum frequency of hitless rebuilds that can occur before the node enters degraded mode, or a full rebuild is performed.

Most aspects of a full rebuild and a hitless rebuild function the same way. For example, initial synchronization between the switch and Cisco WAN Manager and the loss of statistics information will remain the same.

Safe Switchover

Sometimes shortly after a switchover, the new active processor card will run some diagnostics and detect a failure, causing it to switch back to the original active card. The Hitless Rebuild feature will improve this situation under most conditions. Following any processor card switchover, the new standby will rebuild, preserving the key databases needed for a hitless rebuild (11 seconds). When database updates can start, the standby will rebuild again doing a normal standby rebuild (11 seconds). If there is a failure on the new active card that causes it to switch back before updates can start, the card taking over will do a hitless rebuild. If the active processor card fails while still updating its standby, it will perform a hitless rebuild.

The time it takes the updates to complete to the standby card is 15-25 minutes. A full active rebuild takes about 45 seconds. (These numbers are based on measurements done in Release 8.4.)

Action Taken if the Control Card Fails

During any active control card failure, a decision must be made about the type of initialization to undertake. Table 1-54 shows the possible conditions and the corresponding actions to take.

Hitless rebuild on the standby card

When a controller card switchover to the new card occurs, the new standby card (unless shown differently in Table 1-54) will perform a hitless rebuild maintaining the databases. These databases will be maintained, allowing this card to take over without affecting traffic until the updates are started. After the updates have started, the new standby card will do a full rebuild to get ready to receive the updates. The duration of the standby updates are 15-25 minutes (based on Release 8.4 measurements).

When the threshold is exceeded and the node is to enter degraded mode, a hitless rebuild will take place first, and degraded mode will be entered after the hitless rebuild completes.

Autobus Diagnostic Feature Disabled

As part of the Hitless Rebuild feature, the Autobus diagnostic feature on the node will be disabled. This is done because the feature is destructive, and it requires the node to undergo a series of full rebuilds causing the node to be out of the network for a long duration of time.

How Memory is Managed during Hitless Rebuilds

Full rebuilds result in the complete initialization of all RAM memory regions. Before the Hitless Rebuild feature, there was no need to save any databases in RAM through an initialization. All databases were rebuilt from configuration stored in BRAM. For a rebuild to be hitless, databases containing certain types of critical information related to trunks, connections, and so on., must survive intact in RAM.

Configuration data that must survive a hitless rebuild will be moved to regions where it will remain intact. These new regions are now managed by the new memory management algorithm, and will be known as "hitless regions."

A user logged into a node will be able to see the changes by using the Profiler. The user commands "dspprf" and "dspprfhist" show some statistics related to memory usage. (Refer to the Service commands for descriptions of dspprf and dspprfhist commands. Note that you must have service level privileges to use the debug, or Service-level commands.)

Errors and Alarm Handling

The Hitless Rebuild feature does not cause many changes to errors or alarms. However, most of the conditions that cause a hitless rebuild will themselves generate errors or alarms. There are no changes to these.

The Hitless Rebuild feature introduce two new events, indicating the end of a hitless rebuild or a full rebuild. These will be logged into the local event log on the node (which you can view with dsplog).

Corresponding Robust Card Alarm messages will also be sent from the node to Cisco WAN Manager, and these will result in traps being generated and sent to Cisco WAN Manager's RTM proxy. The traps will make the information available to external network management systems that register for traps on Cisco WAN Manager.

As always, the Robust Alarm mechanism does not guarantee that all alarm state transitions will result in messages being sent to Cisco WAN Manager. The mechanism guarantees that "current state" information will be sent. However, when multiple transitions occur close together, only the last one is guaranteed. During a rebuild, a few changes may occur quickly.

The Robust Card Alarm messages sent to Cisco WAN Manager have the following values:

Trap Type: The current state of the card. (Fail, Active, Down, and so on.)

Alarm Class: (1) Info

Reason: (3107) BCC Completed hitless rebuild.

(3108) BCC Completed full rebuild.

This Robust Card Alarm messages will result in Cisco WAN Manager traps of the following type:

TrapType: (20004) Card Alarm

TrapReason: (3107) BCC Completed hitless rebuild

(3108) BCC Completed full rebuild

Consistency Checking

The purpose of the Hitless Rebuild feature is to dramatically improve performance of switch software during rebuilds, and to return the node to normal operation as quickly as possible. The intent is to minimize the effect of a control plane failure on the user plane when a node must rebuild. All existing user connections must be maintained through the initialization. LMI continuity and trunk state must be preserved. Unlike a full rebuild, which will result in communication failures, a hitless rebuild will not result in communication failures.

When a hitless rebuild is completed, the node will go through consistency checks to verify the databases. Some of these include topology checking, and verification of LCONS and VIA LCONS to have valid end points. The line card consistency checks done during a hitless rebuild will be the same as that done when a switchover to the standby takes place.

The line and trunk cards should not reset during a hitless rebuild. Rather than having a node with many connections take up to two hours to restore itself fully to the network, a hitless rebuild takes, at most, only a little longer than a processor card switchover.

During normal switch operation, or during normal switchovers into hot standby processor cards, the Hitless Rebuild feature should have no impact on the performance of switch software.

Node Reliability and Maintainability

The Hitless Rebuild feature is a direct improvement to the survivability of the BPX. It significantly reduces the possibility that a failure in the control plane will cause a failure in the user plane. The main purpose of hitless rebuild is to avoid, as much as possible, affecting the user traffic through a node when processor card redundancy is unusable or itself fails and the control card software must rebuild.

Hitless Rebuild Examples

Normal switchcc

Table 1-55 shows the steps for a normal switchcc. The standby is ready (in Standby state). Up to step 4 the new standby (card 7) can do a hitless rebuild if necessary. Note that a standby card rebuild is not the same as an active card rebuild. This is the same for both normal and hitless rebuilds.

The normal abort case is almost identical to this case. In step 1, the abort causes an automatic switch. The remaining steps are the same.

Function

The dsphitless command displays the statistical history of hitless rebuilds that may have occurred within the configured thresholding period. This thresholding period is part of the super user command cnfnodeparm.

Statistical history of hitless rebuilds will be stored in BRAM, and will survive a full rebuild. Two records of hitless rebuilds will be kept. One will contain information that is within the current thresholding window. When a full rebuild occurs, the hitless rebuild statistics from the current window will be moved to a saved area, and a new current window will begin.

The command dsphitless accepts some optional parameters, and will display either a summary screen or a detailed screen providing the history of hitless rebuilds. There can be two different versions of each screen, one for the current window and one for the saved previous window. See the Syntax section for a list of the optional parameters.

Note that you can use the f, a, c, and d options listed below on the command line at the same time (for example, dsphitless -d -a).

Function

This command displays the statistics related to connection rerouting resulting from failed trunks. These statistics may be useful in determining the performance of the reroute algorithm. Use the "clear" option to clear the counters before accumulating the statistics. Table 1-60 lists reroute statistics.


Table 1-60:
Display Reroute Statistics
Statistic Description

Number of Completed Routes

This is the total number of connections routed since the NPC rebuilt.

Number of Failed Routes

This is the number of attempted reroutes that failed for any reason.

Number of Collisions

During a reroute, the initiating node locks all nodes on the route until rerouting is done. If another node attempts to reroute through a locked node, a collision occurs, so the second node must wait then retry.

Max. # of Consec. Collisions

Is the count of consecutive collisions as defined above.

Max/Avg Secs To Select Route

Time taken within the initiating node to select a new route.

Max/Avg Secs To Perform Route

Time taken to contact and lock the nodes on the new route and perform the rerouting process.

Avg Secs to Route a Conn:

Time to perform a reroute divided by the average number of connections in a bundle.

% of Collisions/Rrt Attempt

Another statistic derived from the number of collisions and the number of reroute attempts.

Max Secs To NOT find Route

Similar to "max secs to select a route" except that the algorithm finished and no route was found.

Number of Routes not found

Number of routes not found in the rerouting process. This parameter updates periodically as a heartbeat to check for activity.

# of Rrts with rrt req_bit set

Number connections awaiting reroute. If rrt_req bit is set, a reroute was not successful; or trunk deletions or loading additions mean connections must be rerouted. Rerouting clears the rrt_req bit.

Address of Forced Rrt Counts

NPC memory address for database information.

Max routes checked in search

Maximum number of PLNs examined in a search for a new route.

Max good rts checked in search

Maximum number of possible routes found before the search ended. The value should be 1.

# our lns rmvd from under us

Measure the number of changes to topology and loading that occurred while rerouting was in progress.

# lines rmvd out from under us

Same as above.

The dspsig command displays the current signaling state received at the node from the specified voice channel.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: No Lock: No Node Type: IGX

Associated Commands

cnfclnsigparm, cnfrcvsig, dspclnsigparm

Syntax
dspsig <start_channel>

<start_channel>

First voice channel in the format slot.port.



Function

This command displays the current signaling state received at the node from the specified voice channel. The status of the transmit and receive A and B signaling bits (for DS1 trunks) or A, B, C and D signaling bits (for E1 trunks) are displayed as a 0 or 1. The status of the bits (0 or 1) depends on the signaling type utilized on the connection displayed. The transmit direction of transmission is towards the remote node; the receive direction is towards the local circuit line.

The dspsig command can be used to verify the connection signaling type. Figure 1-96 illustrates a typical screen. If you compare the A/B bit states on-hook and off-hook with those shown in the dspchcnf command, you will note that the node passes signaling straight through. The signaling definition is only important for monitoring the on-hook/off-hook state and setting conditioning patterns.

Trunk number.



Function

This command displays the total number of connections being carried by the specified trunk. The connections are summed for each terminating node in the network and lists the connection count for the transmit direction (out of the node).

This command is useful in determining the source of dropped packets in cases where the specified trunk is oversubscribed. Use the dsptrks command to list the trunks that originate at each node. Next, use the dsptrkcons to determine the number of connections (the more connections per trunk the greater the possibility of over-subscription). Then use the dsprts command to identify any through nodes (where the trunk is not terminated). Finally, look at the utilization factor for each of these lines using the dsputl and dspdutl commands. Figure 1-101 illustrates the dsptrkcons command display.

Function

This command displays the actual percentage utilization for all voice connections on a single circuit line specified by the back slot (bslot) number. The percentage is calculated by dividing the number of packets transmitted over the total number of packets allocated to the specified channel. Only transmit packet rates are used. If percentage of actual utilization exceeds the configured utilization the channel appears in reverse video.

Figure 1-105 illustrates a typical display. In this example, the connections from 11.1 to 11.11 use VAD and the connections from 11.12 to 11.17 do not. The connections using VAD do not use any network bandwidth (0 utilization) until the connection is used. The other connections utilize the full bandwidth (100% utilization) even though they may be idle.

Use the dspdutl command to display utilization for data channels.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX, BPX, IGX/AF

Associated Commands

dspcnf, runcnf, savecnf

Syntax
loadcnf <backup_id | clear> <node_name> <source_SV_node>

<backup_id >

Specifies the name of the backup configuration file to be loaded. Configuration names are case-sensitive.

<clear>

Specifies that the control card buffer area used for loading a configuration be cleared.

<node name>

Specifies the target node where the backup configuration file is to be loaded.

<source_SV_node>

Specifies the node connected to the Cisco WAN Manager where the configuration file backup_id resides.



Function

This command causes a saved network configuration file to be downloaded from Cisco WAN Manager to one node or all nodes. (See savecnf.) The configuration image downloaded is temporarily stored in a buffer area in a node's controller card memory. The process runs in the background and may take several minutes if the configuration file is large. Although loaded, the configuration is not yet restored. The configuration is restored to the controller card's BRAM memory using the runcnf command.

After loading and restoring a network configuration, the control card buffer area used for this purpose should be cleared so it is available for other downloading processes, such as that of firmware. To clear the buffer area, execute loadcnf with the clear parameter specified instead of backup_id. Specify the buffer of an individual node with node_name or all nodes with *. For the purpose of clearing the buffer area, do not specify the source_SV_node parameter.

To execute this command on an IGX/AF interface shelf, telnet to the shelf or use a control terminal attached to the shelf.

loadrev (Load Revision)

The loadrev command loads a secondary system software revision image from Cisco WAN Manager into a node.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX, BPX, IGX/AF

Associated Commands

Syntax
loadrev <revision> <node_name | group_name | *>

<revision>

Specifies the revision level of the system software file to be loaded.

<node_name>

Specifies the target node where the secondary revision is to be loaded.

<group_name>

Specifies a subset of nodes in the network.

<*>

Specifies all nodes in the network.



Function

This command loads the secondary revision system software for the specified nodes. The secondary revision system software is the code that is loaded onto a controller card but is not being run. Use the runrev command (after you have loaded a revision with loadrev) to make the secondary revision the primary revision. The primary revision then becomes the secondary.

Examples of this command:

After entering the command, the system responds with the following:

Enter Rev Number:

Use the dsprevs command to view the software revisions that are currently loaded in the controller memory. Use the dspdnld command to display a running picture of the download procedure status once it has begun. The runrev command also displays the lowest revision running in the network.

Caution Do not confuse loadrev with getfwrev. The getfwrev command loads firmware, not system software.

Function

Prints a history of card failures associated with a specified slot on the network printer. If no argument is specified, a summary is printed, indicating the slots that have failures recorded against them. Refer to dspcderrs command for an example of a typical card error record that might be printed.

rrtcon (Reroute Connection)

The rrtcon command is used to manually reroute one or more connections.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

drtop

Syntax
rrtcon <group | channel(s) | *>

<group | channel(s) | *>:

Specifies a group, a channel, or a range of channels to be rerouted.
A * specifies all locally owned groups and connections.



Function

This command forces a group, channel or range of channels to be rerouted. If a free-routing connection is rerouted by the system for whatever reason, it will not automatically return to its original route when the trouble clears. This may leave the connection on a path that is not the most direct or cost effective.

You can use rrtcon to force a reroute that will likely put the connection back to its original route if that route is available. Over time, many routes may need to be rerouted back to their original paths. In this case, use the "*" parameter with rrtcon on the node where you originally executed it to reroute all connections.

To use this command you must first vt to the node that owns the connection (local node). If not at the local node, the system displays "This node is not owner of the connection(s)."

There is no provision for specifying a route. The node determines the connection route according to the same rules that are used when adding a new connection. If no network bandwidth is available for rerouting the connection, the node marks the connection as failed.

Caution Using this command on a connection that is in service should be done with some discretion because the reroute interrupts service for as long as it takes to reroute the connection.

rststats (Reset Statistics Collection Time)

The rststats command resets the statistics collection time for the tststats command. Executing rststats clears all statistics. When you enter it, a prompt warns you that the command clears all statistics and asks if you want to proceed.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX, BPX, IGX/AF

Associated Commands

savecnf, loadcnf, clrcnf

Syntax
runcnf <backup_id> <node_name>

<backup_id>

Specifies the name of the configuration image loaded from Cisco WAN Manager. Configuration names are case-sensitive.

<node_name>

Specifies the node name to receive the configuration. An asterisk (*) specifies all nodes.



Function

This command restores the specified configuration to the controller card's BRAM memory and overwrites the current configuration. Once restored, the specified node (or all nodes) rebuilds with the restored configuration image. To execute this command on an IGX/AF interface shelf, telnet to the shelf or use a control terminal attached to the shelf.

This command is usually run after a previous configuration has been lost. If doubts exist about the state of the configuration at other nodes in the network, load the configuration into all nodes by specifying "*" for the node name. The new configuration must have previously been loaded into the controller buffer area with the loadcnf command.

Caution All network nodes must be run with the same configuration.

The system may display two warnings in response to the runcnf command:

    1. When single node specified:

    2. When all nodes specified:

If a single node is not reachable, responding with a "Y" does not affect the operation of the network. If node(s) do not all have the specified configuration or all are unreachable, it is not recommended that you continue until after the problem is resolved.

runrev (Run Revision)

The runrev command runs a specific revision of the system software at a node.

Attributes

Jobs: No Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX, BPX

Associated Commands

<node_name>

Specifies the node name to rebuild with a new configuration.

<group_name>

Specifies a subset of nodes in the network.

*

Specifies all nodes in the network.



Function

This command sets the primary revision for the specified nodes. The primary software revision is the one that is actively controlling node operation. You can also load a non-active secondary revision that differs from the primary revision running in the controller. To set the primary software revision, enter:

After entering the command, the system responds with "Enter Rev Number." Use the dsprevs command to determine which revision(s)—primary and secondary—are available on the node. The runrev command also displays the lowest revision running in the network. The runrev command will be ignored if the required revision is not present on the node.

You may need to load the new revision onto the Cisco WAN Manager terminal and then use loadrev command to download the new software image into the standby controller before you issue the runrev command. If you enter a revision number that does not exist at the node, the system displays the message

  "Warning—the node does not have the specified revision. Continue? Y/N"
Caution All network nodes typically should be run with the same software revision to ensure normal network operation.

savecnf (Save Configuration)

The savecnf command saves a configuration image on a Cisco WAN Manager workstation disk.

Attributes

Jobs: Yes Log: Yes Lock: Yes Node Type: IGX, BPX, IGX/AF

Associated Commands

Syntax
savecnf <backup_id | clear> <node_name> <dest_SV_node> [<dest_SV_ip>]

<backup_id>

Specifies the name of a configuration to be saved on Cisco WAN Manager. The Backup ID must be 1-8 alphanumeric characters with the first character being alphabetic. Configuration names are case-sensitive.

<clear>

Specifies that the buffer area should be cleared.

<node_name>

Specifies the node name to save configuration on. An * may be specified to indicate all nodes.

<dest_SV_node>

Specifies the node name where Cisco WAN Manager is connected and is to receive the specified backup_id.

<dest_SV_IP>

For IGX/AF interface shelves only, this optional specification is the IP address of the Cisco WAN Manager that is to receive the configuration image.



Function

The savecnf command has two possible applications. It saves all the configurations for the nodes in a routing network, or it saves the configuration of one IGX/AF interface shelf to a specific Cisco WAN Manager workstation. Once saved, you can restore the configuration to BRAM by using the loadcnf and runcnf commands. You should execute savecnf in the following situations:

Execution on a Routing Node

In a routing network, savecnf saves a configuration image for one node or all routing nodes (node_name = *) on the Cisco WAN Manager workstation specified by dest_SV_node.

Execution on an IGX/AF Interface Shelf

To execute savecnf on an IGX/AF, either telnet to the shelf or use a control terminal attached to it: savecnf saves a configuration image of only the current shelf. The image is stored on the workstation with the IP address in the parameter dest_SV_ip. (In a routing network, dest_SV_ip is not necessary.) Note that node_name and dest_SV_node must both be the name of the shelf. The IP address of the destination Cisco WAN Manager workstation uniquely identifies where to store the configuration image.

Function

Executing setfpevt restarts FastPAD event logging after you have stopped logging by using clrfpevt.

The reason for executing clrfpevt is to prevent the large number of logged events that accumulate when certain user-controlled disruptions occur. Without suspension of event-logging, the number of events caused by the disruption can cause the FastPAD to become unreachable. Examples of these events are

Example

setfpevt 9.3

Description

The example command resumes event logging for the FastPAD connected to port 9.3.


Note No screen appears when setfpevt executes. The example shows the dsplog output after a sequence of clrfpevt then setfpevt. Earlier FastPAD events appear near the bottom of the screen.

The tstbadubus command checks every allocated UBU to see if the above problem exists. If an allocation problem is detected, the falsely allocated UBUs will be displayed.

Tests the NTM-UXM/NPM UBU corruption problem.

The NTM card has been known to corrupt Lane 1 of its previous UBU. But it only affects the cells, not FastPackets. Thus it may corrupt data for the UXM card (cells) and NPM (AAL5 cells) if their UBUs are located in front of the one for the NTM card.

For example, if UBU 2 is used by the NTM, the cells (not FastPackets) in Lane 1 of UBU 1 will be corrupted. Because the UXM and NPM are the only cards using the cells in the bus, the UBU immediately before the one used by NTM cannot be allocated to the UXM or NPM.

The UBU allocation software will not assign UBUs for a UXM and an NPM card, if it is next to the one for NTM (to avoid the problem mentioned above).

The tstbadubus command checks every allocated UBU to see if the above problem exists. If an allocation problem is detected, the falsely allocated UBUs will be displayed.

Workaround

If the tstbadubus screen shows something similar to the screen in Example 1, then reallocating the UBU to slot 8 may cure the problem.

Issue the dspbusbw <8> command to see how may UBUs are currently allocated to slot 8. If the allocated UBU is 10, then always add one more UBU to the card. Use cnfbusbw <8> <11> to allocate 11 UBUs to slot 8. Most of the time, this change can remove the corruption condition.

If the problem persists, then add two more UBUs to the card. The idea is that by adding one or two more UBUs to the card, the UBU locations to be allocated change, which may cure the problem. Reallocating one or two fewer UBUs may also work.

Description

The 24th UBU in page 3 was "badly" allocated (causing corruption). It is allocated to the NTM located at slot 4. This UBU corrupts the UBU allocated to the UXM located at slot 8. A cell drop will be expected for slot 8 due to the corruption.

upggrp (Upgrade Groups)

The loadrev and runrev commands take "upgrade group" names as arguments, allowing you to upgrade any subset of nodes at the same time.

Previous to Release 9.1, you could specify either a single node name, or an '*' (asterisk) to specify all nodes in the network, as an argument to runrev or loadrev. An "upgrade group" is a list of nodes, which could be all nodes in the network. Instead of running runrev for each node to be upgraded, upgrading an entire group of nodes at one time leads to a synchronized upgrade process (which the "staggered update mechanism" relies on). The staggered mechanism prevents a situation where many nodes send messages to a single node at the same time.

After an upgrade, each node requests information from every node about its topology and connection database to compensate for any errors or race conditions that may occur during the upgrade. Every node sends its messages to only one node during a given interval. If all nodes start sending these updates at the same time (and the interval is configured the same on all nodes), then all nodes will send messages to different nodes as everyone has a different node number. Whenever the interval ends, they start sending to a node with the next node number. If they would not start at the same time, there would be overlaps as one node could be in its first interval, whereas others are already in the second or third interval.

If all nodes start at the same time, it is guaranteed that one node will exchange updates with only one other node during a given interval, reducing the amount of stress that would occur when multiple nodes send updates to one node at the same time.

upggrp [-a[dd] -r[emove]] <group_name> <node_list

Function

This command creates a group of nodes to be upgraded by the loadrev and runrev commands. To create an upgrade group type

  upggrp -c <group name>

You can create up to 20 upgrade groups. Naming the upgrade groups follows the same convention as for node names; that is, choose group names that are different from the node names in the network. If loadrev or runrev encounter a name conflict, the commands chose the node name interpretation.


Note Upgrade groups are only known on the node where they are created. They are neither sent to the Standby, nor saved in BRAM. It is assumed they are needed for a short time only. Once the upgrade is done, you can delete the groups.

To delete an upgrade group that is no longer needed, enter:

  upggrp -d <group name>

This frees up the resources used by that group.

To show (list) the currently defined upgrade groups, enter:

  upggrp -s

To list all the member nodes of a group, enter:

  upggrp -s <group name>

To add several nodes to an upgrade group, enter:

  upggrp -a <group name> <node 1> <node 2> ...

The length of the node list can be as long as the command line allows. If an entry is invalid, that is, it is not a valid node name or not a name of a node in the network, an error message prints, and the remainder of the node list is not processed. The nodes before the invalid node are added to the group.

After the command is executed, the members of the group are listed. You can add nodes to an upgrade group in multiple iterations.

To remove a node or several nodes from an upgrade group, enter:

  upggrp -r <group name> <node 1> <node 2> ...

The length of the node list can be as long as the command line allows. If an entry is invalid, that is, it is not a valid node name or not the name of a node in the net, an error message is printed, and the remainder of the node list is not processed. The nodes before the invalid node name are removed from the group. After the command is executed, the members of the group are listed.
