Configuring Circuit Lines

Configuring Circuit Lines

A circuit line is the physical line that carries data, voice, Frame Relay, or ATM traffic between a BPX node (or IGX node) and customer premises equipment. Each piece of customer premises equipment is attached to a node through a circuit line.

You must first establish or "up" a card by using the upcd command, before you can "up" and configure a circuit line on that card.

This chapter:

Use the cnfln to configure commands (the cnfcln command is obsolete). The switch software prompts for the parameters appropriate for the card type it detects. For details on each circuit line command, see the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference. Note: Line commands are the same as "circuit line" commands.

Table 19-1 shows the permissible card combinations for CPE-to-IGX lines.

Setting Up a Circuit Line

Frame relay, data, and voice connections require an active line. Before you can execute this procedure, you must first up the card by using upcd.

To establish (or "up") an active line:


Step 1   Make sure the card must be in either the active or standby state

Step 2   Use upln to activate a circuit line in a slot that contains the appropriate circuit line card set.

Step 3   Use cnfln to configure the circuit line.

The upln and cnfln commands establish the general parameters for the line but do not establish specific Frame Relay, data, or voice parameters. Refer to applicable chapters for details on a particular service.


To down a line:


Step 1   Remove all connections on a line by using delcon or delcongrp).

Step 2   Use dnln to down the line. A downed line is inactive, so no signals or statistics are generated.


Flow Diagrams for Line Setup

The command sequences for setting up lines for:

A yes/no decision branch for "Other Side?" and the vt command in the sequence indicates command sequences on local and far nodes.

"Multiplex" refers to channelized streams.

Line Commands

Table 19-3 Here are the names and descriptions for each line command:


Table 19-3: Line Commands
Name Description

cnfcassw

Configure CAS switching

cnfln

Configure line (same as cnfcln)

cnfrsrc

Configure resources

dnln

Down line (same as dncln). A downed line is inactive, so no signals or statistics are generated. You must remove all connections on a line (delcon or delcongrp) before you down the line by uising dnln.

dsplncnf

Display line configuration (same as dspclncnf). Displays the configuration of a specified circuit line.

dsplns

Displays the circuit line configuration and alarm status for the node (same as dspclns)

dsptsmap

Display time slot map

prtlns

Prints the circuit line configuration and circuit line alarm status for the node (same as prtclns)

upln

Up line (same as upcln)
