SuperUser Commands

Introduction

This chapter contains detailed descriptions of the Cisco WAN switching software SuperUser commands for Release 9.3.20. 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 SuperUser 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.

Release 9.3.20 Universal Router Module (URM)

The Universal Router Module (URM) is introduced with Release 9.3.20 on the IGX 8400. The URM is functionally equivalent to a UXM card with one ATM port and an IOS router. The URM front card provides basic routing functions. The URM front card and the 2FE2V back card provide IOS-based voice support.

The URM/2FE2V card combination supports the voice features currently available under IOS. The URM supports two T1 or E1 digital voice ports and two Fast Ethernet ports. Basic routing functions are supported concurrently with voice.

The URM hardware consists of an embedded UXM that provides the ATM interface to the IGX network and an embedded IOS-based router. The URM embedded UXM is based on UXM-E hardware. It is logically a one-port UXM without physical interfaces and provides functionality similar to the UXM/UXM-E modules in the IGX.

The URM is a two-processor card. UXM functionality is provided by Admin software running under VxWorks. The router functionality is provided by IOS running independently on a different processor. An internal IPC mechanism is used for Admin to IOS communication over the internal ATM port.

Management of the URM is different from other IGX cards. The IGX CLI is used to manage the embedded UXM and internal ATM port. The IOS CLI and IOS management applications are used to manage the embedded router.

The IGX CLI is enhanced to provide features that facilitate serviceability and monitoring of the URM embedded IOS-based router. New and modified CLI commands used to monitor the embedded router are described in Table 1-1.


Table 1-1: CLI Commands Used to Monitor the URM Embedded IOS-based Router
Command Description

cnfrtrparm

The new SuperUser CLI command used to configure certain router parameters on a specific router slot. Parameters include rommon action, router reset, and write to bootflash

cnfrtr

The new CLI command used to configure certain router parameters on a specific router slot. Parameters include IOS configuration file source and serial port function.

dsprtr

The new CLI command used to report the router configuration on a specific router slot.

dsprtrslots

The new CLI command used to report router operational information for all router slots in the IGX. Operational information includes: card type, VIC type, and router alarm status.

dspalms

The enhanced CLI command used to report router IOS status alarms for all router slots in the IGX.

rstrtr

The new CLI command used to reset the router on a specified router slot.

General Information


Note   SuperUser commands (privilege level 0) require a different login and password than commands with privilege levels 1-6. Because the privilege level for all SuperUser commands is 0, the privilege level does not appear in the command definition.

Table 1-3 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 SuperUser 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 user-privilege levels 1-6, refer to the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference.


Note   Some SuperUser commands are rarely 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 command line interface (CLI) 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 CommBus messages from the firmware to switch software).


Note   The BXM CommBus interface is similar in many places to the CommBus interface for previously-released cards (ASI and BNI cards). Note that there are small differences in the CommBus 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 CommBus messages, along with descriptions of how each message is used by the switch software. Note that in many cases, the CommBus 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 channel statistics that can be collected is limited and configurable by software. Note that all of these stats are not available on the Monarch firmware at one time. For the stats that are not configured, a value of zero will be returned during the "get" operation.

In the description column of the screen display, 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 CommBus 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 Log Node Lock

Yes

Yes

IGX, BPX

Yes

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 the one 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 SuperUser 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.

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.

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

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 288,000 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 (see Figure 1-5). 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 1-3 lists the cnfbusbw screen information. All ports on the UXM in the selected slot are dynamically reconfigured according to the new parameters.


Table 1-3: 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 that 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 to view real-time statistics:

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 to view the enabled interval statistics:

Commands to view a single enabled interval statistic in detail:

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.

These commands enable USER statistics:

These statistics 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

The number of statistics available are based upon the statistics level programmed on the BXM or UXM card. Table 1-4 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 1-7 for descriptions of the channel statistics listed in Table 1-4.

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 sent to Cisco WAN Manager and can be viewed through that interface.

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, the 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:

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.

The following CLI commands 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)

Table 1-5 lists the current controller card memory configurable parameters, and Table 1-6 lists the BPX polling intervals and number of connections supported.

Multilevel Statistics Supported on the 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 four ingress and four egress QE stats 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 1-8 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. Table 1-9 shows statistics support under statistics level 1. 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 distinguished only for user cells.

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 stats, and since level 2 statistics supports all the statistics needed for compatibility with 9.1 software.

Refer to Table 1-12 for a list of the multilevel channel statistics supported on the UXM.

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 1-7 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 1-18 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.

<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 packet.

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 change a time-stamp, 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 SuperUser 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 time-stamped 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 time-stamped 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 time-stamped data packets, and there is a small chance that a signaling packet might be discarded somewhere in the network. This recovery mechanism ensures 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 time-stamped data packets are being discarded in the network.

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 time-stamp 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.

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-time-stamped trunk queue depths. For delay sensitive connections on the IGX (voice and non-time-stamped), 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.

Function

This command configures parameters that affect Adaptive Voice, Rerouting, and Courtesy Up/Down. These parameters are used only at the local node. Table 1-20 lists the parameters, their descriptions, and their default values.


Table 1-20:
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 governs only 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. For 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 and 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 Between 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

6

Dnld Req Freq

After a node seeking a new software image has found a node with the correct image, it requests a download of the image. If the node with the correct image is not available to send the image, the requesting node waits a period of time before it again requests the image. Dnld Req Freq is the period of time the requesting node waits before it again requests the image. (This parameter is not a frequency but rather a time period.)

Syntax

cnflan <IP_Address> <IP_Subnet_Mask> <Maximum LAN Transmit Unit> <TCP Service Port>

<IPAdd>

Specifies the Internet address of the node used in the TCP/IP protocol.

<IP subnet mask>

Specifies a 32-bit mask that contains information about the bit lengths of the subnet ID and host ID address fields. The format of this field uses 1s for the subnet ID field and 0s for the host ID address field as defined in the TCP/IP protocol. The default value (in decimal notation) is 255 255 255.0. This mask denotes both subnet ID and host ID fields as 8-bit fields.

<Max. LAN Transmit Unit>

BPX nodes only: typical length is 1500 bytes.

<TCPServicePort>

Specifies the node's service point used by the transmission control protocol (TCP).

<GatewayIPAddr>

Specifies the Internet gateway address.

Function

This command configures node communication parameters, so the node can communicate with a Cisco WAN Manager terminal over an Ethernet LAN using TCP/IP protocol. The parameters all contain address information about the Ethernet TCP/IP network that connects the Cisco WAN Manager station to an IGX or BPX node. The values must conform to those of the network. The network administrator can supply the parameters. Refer to the screen in Figure 1-16 .

<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.

When you enter cnflnparm, the system responds with the screen in Figure 1-17. The cnflnparm command is quite similar to the cnfln command.

cnflnsigparm (Configure Line signaling Parameters)

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


Note   The CVM and 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 time-stamped data packets, and there is a small chance that a signaling packet might be discarded somewhere in the network. This recovery mechanism ensures 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 time-stamped data packets are being discarded in the network.

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 the "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 time-stamped data packets, and there is a small chance that a signaling packet might be discarded somewhere in the network. This recovery mechanism ensures 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.

Syntax

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

<line>

Specifies the circuit line 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 the collection of ten second peaks; Y to enable, N to disable.

Function

This command configures circuit line statistics. The cnfclnstats command lets you customize statistics collection on each circuit line. It primarily applies to debugging and not standard network operation. Table 1-28 lists the statistics by type. Figure 1-22 illustrates the display.

Not all statistic types are available for all lines. Valid statistics appear in full brightness while unavailable types appear in half brightness.


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

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.

Syntax

cnfmxbutil <slot number> <percentage>

<slot number>

Specifies the slot number of the associated FRP card.

<percentage>

Specifies the percent of Muxbus or cell bus bandwidth to allocate.

Function

The cnfmxbutil command lets you configure the Muxbus or cell bus 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 1-23 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.

cnfnodeparm (Configure Node Parameter)

Sets a variety of general parameters for the nodes in a network.

In switch software release 9.3.10 and higher, the ILMI Neighbor Discovery feature is available for use with ports (not virtual ports) on the BXM card and UXM card. This feature enables a network management system, such as Cisco WAN Manager or CiscoWorks 2000, to discover other attached ATM devices, such as Cisco ATM routers or switches. The attached devices also must support ILMI Neighbor Discovery for this feature to work.

When ILMI Neighbor Discover is enabled on a port, the BPX or IGX and the attached ATM device will exchange their management IP addresses together with other interface information with each other using the ILMI protocol. The exchanged information consists of the following:

Use parameter option 56 (BXM) or 53 (UXM) from the cnfnodeparm command to configure the ILMI Management IP address. The Management IP address is used by the NMS application to access the BPX, IGX, or the ATM device. Depending upon your network set up, you can configure the BPX or IGX to send either the LAN IP address or Network IP address as part of the neighbor information exchange with the attached ATM device. Enter 0 for LAN IP address, or 1 for Network IP address. The default is the network IP address for the BPX or IGX.

Options that must be set for cnfport are shown in Figure 1-23. Refer to the cnfport command in the Update to the WAN Switching Command Reference, Release 9.3.10 for further information about using the cnfport command.

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 1-30 and Table 1-31 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 and higher, 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 1-30:
IGX cnfnodeparm Parameters
Index Parameter Description Default

1

Update Initial Delay (sec.)

Specifies a factor for generating a delay before conditional updates are transmitted to the network after a controller card switchover. The Update Initial Delay is multiplied by the number of nodes in the network.

5000 (D)

2

Update Per-Node Delay (ms.)

Specifies the delay between transmission of conditional updates to the nodes.

30000 (D)

3

Comm. Break Test Delay (ms.)

Normal interval between tests for communication break on any node.

30000 (D)

4

Comm. Break Test Offset

Factor between number of communication test failures and test successes to declare a node in communication break condition.

5

Network Time-out Period

Number of milliseconds to wait for a response to a communication test transmission before declaring a failure. The maximum is four failures.

1700 (D)

6

Network Inter-p Period

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 Time-outs

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

7 (D)

9

Number of Inter-p Time-outs

For inter-domain connections: Number of Inter-p Time-outs is the maximum number of normal network retransmissions before the node signals a communication break.

3 (D)

10

Number of Satellite Time-outs

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

6 (D)

11

Number of Blind Time-outs

Maximum number of communication fail time-outs 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 comm failures before declaring Comm Fail. For example, the network handler task will attempt to deliver the Comm Fail request message four 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 Time-outs parameter is the number of communication fail time-outs and retransmissions performed when using the blind channel.

4 (D)

12

Number of CB Msg Timeouts

Number of communication break time-outs and retransmissions before the node declares a communication break condition (CB). One successful acknowledgment clears the CB condition.

Specifies the amount of controller memory to allocate for statistics collection.

76 (D)

20

30 (D)

23

GLCON Alloc Timer

Another inter-domain rerouting timer controlling the gateway LCON function.

30 (D)

24

Comm Fail Delay

Number of seconds before starting to detect communication failures after a controller switch over.

60 (D)

25

Network handler timer determines how long to wait to send messages to or receive messages from a remote node.

50 (D)

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 Time-out (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.

10

30

TFTP Write Retires

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

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 Time-out

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 FastPacket-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 checked only 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. 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 the nodes' status 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 FastPacket-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 A-bit Notifications on LMI/ILMI Interface feature (which you enable with the cnfnodeparm SuperUser command). See the A-bit Notifications feature description in the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference.

[F] (T/F)

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 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 A-bit Early

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

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

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

The different A-bit behavior in Release 9.2 and higher 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 A-bit Early enabled (set to Y), the timing in which that the A-bit 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 A-bit Early parameter be configured the same on all nodes.

For more information on the Send A-bit Notification on ILMI/LMI using Configurable Timer feature, refer to the BPX 8600 Series Installation and Configuration Manual.

[N is default] (Y/N)

49

A-bit Timer Multiplier M

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

You can set the A-bit 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 A-bit = 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 A-bit = 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 A-bit status changes to report to the CPE, the last A-bit updates may be delayed much longer because A-bit updates process about 47 connections per second. To make a compromise between performance and the granularity of timers, A-bit 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 (A-bit Timer Multiplier M * A-bit 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 A-bit = 0 sent out on deroute.

It is recommended that the value of X (value of A-bit Timer Multiplier M * value of A-bit 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 A-bit = 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 A-bit status information for each connection coming from controller card through Comm Bus messages.

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

[Default is 0]

A-bit Timer Granularity N

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

The Early A-bit Notifications feature lets the user specify the timer interval to wait before A-bit = 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 A-bit Timer Granularity N parameter. Also, the value X is the time to wait before A-bit = 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 A-bit = 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 A-bit status changes to report to the CPE, the last A-bit updates may be delayed much longer because A-bit updates process about 47 connections per second.

To compromise between performance and the granularity of timers, you can configure the N value (A-bit 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 A-bit Timer Multiplier N parameter) is 3 seconds. The default value for M is 0, meaning that A-bit = 0 is sent out on deroute. It is recommended that the value of X (A-bit Timer Multiplier M value * A-bit 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 A-bit = 0.

[Default is 3 seconds]

51

Cambric Hop Weight

In order to do concentric Come Break clearing, nodes are ordered by hop count as well as by the time they have been waiting for the Come Break test. This ensures that the running of route op if no topology change was detected does not change the order of testing. Also, distant nodes are guaranteed to be tested after a finite time regardless of how many nodes go in and out of Comm Break.

The function used is:

h * w - s

Where h is the number of hops a node is away, s is the number of second since it is in Comm Break (and not in path fail), w is the ComBrk Hop Weight.

[ 25 is the default] (D)

52

CB Fail Penalty Hops

A node that fails a Comm Break test is entered into the list mentioned in the previous description of ComBrk Hop Weight, plus a penalty. The penalty is at least p * w, where p (by default 2) is configurable as the CB Fail Penalty Hops parameter. This means the node gets another chance after p rings have been tested. In the old way the node did not get another chance after all nodes had been tested.

[2 is the default] (D)

53

Download LAN IP or Network IP Address

Specifies whether to use the configured LAN IP or Network IP address as the Management IP Address to be used for ILMI Neighbor Discovery procedure.

[Lan is the default] (Lan/Nw)

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 checked only 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 FastPacket-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 the nodes' status 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 A-bit Notifications on LMI/ILMI Interface feature (which you enable with the cnfnodeparm SuperUser command). For information about the A-bit Notifications feature, see the Cisco WAN Switch Command Reference.

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 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)

48

Send A-bit Early

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

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

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

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

The different A-bit 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 A-bit Early enabled (set to Y), the timing in which that the A-bit 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 A-bit Early parameter be configured the same on all nodes.

For more information on the Send A-bit Notification on ILMI/LMI using Configurable Timer feature, refer to the BPX 8600 Series Installation and Configuration manual.

[N is default] (Y/N)

49

A-bit Timer Multiplier M

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

You can set the A-bit 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 A-bit = 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 A-bit = 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 A-bit status changes to report to the CPE, the last A-bit updates may be delayed much longer because A-bit updates process about 47 connections per second. To make a compromise between performance and the granularity of timers, A-bit 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 (A-bit Timer Multiplier M * A-bit 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 A-bit = 0 sent out on deroute.

It is recommended that the value of X (value of A-bit Timer Multiplier M * value of A-bit 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 A-bit = 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 A-bit status information for each connection coming from controller card through CommBus messages.

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

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

[Default is 0]

(D)

50

A-bit Timer Granularity N

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

The Early A-bit Notifications feature lets the user specify the timer interval to wait before A-bit = 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 A-bit Timer Granularity N parameter. Also, the value X is the time to wait before A-bit = 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 A-bit = 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 A-bit status changes to report to the CPE, the last A-bit updates may be delayed much longer because A-bit updates process about 47 connections per second.

To compromise between performance and the granularity of timers, you can configure the N value (A-bit 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 A-bit Timer Multiplier N parameter) is 3 seconds. The default value for M is 0, meaning that A-bit = 0 is sent out on deroute. It is recommended that the value of X (A-bit Timer Multiplier M value * A-bit 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 A-bit = 0.

[Default is 3 seconds]

51

FBTC with PPD Policing

If you have installed a BXM card with the Routing Control Monitoring and Policing (RCMP) 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 and 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.

[N is default]

(Y/N)

52

CommBrk Hop Weight

In order to do concentric Comm Break clearing, nodes are ordered by hop count as well as by the time they have been waiting for the Comm Break test. This ensures that the running of route op if no topology change was detected does not change the order of testing. Also, distant nodes are guaranteed to be tested after a finite time regardless of how many nodes go in and out of Comm Break.

The function used is:

h * w - s

Where h is the number of hops a node is away, s is the number of second since it is in Comm Break (and not in path fail), w is the ComBrk Hop Weight.

[25 is the default] (D)

53

CB Fail Penalty Hops

A node that fails a Comm Break test is entered into the list mentioned in the previous description of ComBrk Hop Weight, plus a penalty. The penalty is at least p * w, where p (by default 2) is configurable as the CB Fail Penalty Hops parameter. This means the node gets another chance after p rings have been tested. In the old way the node did not get another chance after all nodes had been tested.

[2 is the default] (D)

54

Auto BXM Upgrade

Used for legacy BXM to BXM-E upgrades. If the parameter is set to Y, SWSW upgrades the logical database as soon as both legacy BXMs are replaced by BXM-Es in yred case, or the active legacy BXM is replaced by a BXM-E in non-yred case. Set this parameter to N if you want to manually upgrade. Refer to the BPX 8600 Installation and Configuration Guide, 9.3.0 Release, for upgrade scenarios and procedures.

[Y default is yes] (Y/N)

55

LCN reprgrm batch cnt

Specifies the number of LCN(s) to be reprogrammed in a batch before giving up CPU. This is typically used for dynamic partitioning.

[100 is the default] (D)

56

Download LAN IP or Network IP Address

Specifies whether to use the configured LAN IP or Network IP address as the Management IP Address to be used for ILMI Neighbor Discovery procedure.

cnfnwip (Configure Network IP Address)

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

Attributes

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

Associated Commands

none

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, see the screen in Figure 1-26.

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 or logical line 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 or line 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 or line are placed into major alarm.

For example, consider IMA virtual trunks 4.5-8.2 and 4.5-8.7, with the number of retained links on 4.5-8 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 Version 1.0 IMA protocol). A summary and description of these statistics follows in Table 1-32.

cnfportstats (Configure Port Statistics Collection)

The cnfportstats command configures parameters for statistics collection on ports.

In previous releases of the BPX and IGX switch software, only statistics from QBIN 1-9 were collected on AutoRoute trunks. Starting from switch software release 9.3.10, the switch allows the collection of additional QBIN statistics. Following is a summary of all QBIN statistics collected by the BPX and IGX. Qbin statistics are Cells Served, Cells Discarded, and Cells Received.

All other Qbins are unused, and the switch does not provide statistics for them. Also starting in switch software release 9.3.10, the switch provides the collection of Qbin Cells Discarded statistics via SNMP for the above mentioned Qbins.

<index>

Specifies the parameter to configure.

<value>

Specifies new value to be entered for the parameter.

Function

This command sets Robust Alarms parameters. Robust Alarms is a protocol for node-to-Network Management System (NMS) communications. When a node has statistics or alarm information for the NMS, it requires a confirmation from the NMS that the database has been updated. Table 1-34 lists the parameters. Figure 1-35 illustrates the command.


Table 1-34: cnfrobparm Parameters and Descriptions
No. Parameter Description Default

1

Robust State wakeup timer

The Robust State machine becomes active after the specified time period has elapsed. If this timer value increases, the state machine operates less often and places less load on the controller card. Units of measure are seconds.

10 seconds

2

Robust update timer

Once a message has gone to the NMS, another message does not go until this timer expires. Units of measure are seconds.

10 seconds

3

Robust acknowledgment time-out

An acknowledgment must be returned by the NMS within this time period or it is assumed the communications link is down. Units of measure are seconds.

600 seconds

4

Robust acknowledgment reset timeout

After a downed link has been repaired, the next message goes out after this time period has elapsed. The purpose of this time period is to let the link settle after the repair. Units of measure are seconds.

60 seconds

cnfrtrparm (Configure Router Parameters)

The cnfrtrparm command sets parameters for the embedded router in the Universal Router Module (URM) introduced on the IGX 8400 in Release 9.3.20. The URM provides IOS-based voice support and basic routing functions. It consists of an embedded UXM with one internal ATM port and an embedded IOS-based router.

Syntax

cnfrtrparm <router-slot> <index> <action>

The index values and corresponding parameters are:

    1. rommon action

    2. reset router on IOS IPC failure

    3. bootflash write enable

<router-slot>

Specifies the virtual shelf slot to support the URM embedded router. Value is 1-32.

Switch software manages the embedded router in the URM as if the router resides on a slot in a virtual shelf (of routers). Each slot in the IGX shelf has a corresponding router slot in the virtual shelf. A router slot is considered empty when the equivalent IGX slot is empty or contains an IGX card without an embedded router. If the IGX slot contains a URM card, the router slot is reported as hosting an IOS router.

rommon action

Specifies what action ROMMON is to take when the URM embedded router boots up. Values are 1, 2, 3, or 4. The default value is 1, load IOS.

    1. IOS: if this parameter is set to IOS, the router loads the IOS image from the Flash.

    2. BootHelper: if this parameter is set to BootHelper, the router loads BootHelper from the Flash protected area.

    3. Rommon-CLI: if this parameter is set to Rommon-CLI, the router enters ROM monitor or maintenance mode. When the router is in this state, you can enter ROM monitor commands from the console port to manually load a system image.

    4. Cnfg-register: if this parameter is set to cnfg-register, the router performs the action that was configured in the router's Configuration Register Boot Field.

reset router on IOS IPC failure

Specifies whether the router IOS is reset in the event of an IOS IPC failure. Values are Y to enable or N to disable. The default value is Y, enable.

bootflash write enable

Enables write to router BootFlash. Values are Y to enable or N to disable. The default value is N, disable.

Figure 1-36 shows how to configure the Rommon Action parameter using the cnfrtrparm command.

Syntax

cnfslotstats <port> <stat> <interval> <e|d> [<samples> <size> <peaks>]

<port>

Specifies the port 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 the collection of one minute peaks. Y to enable; N to disable.

Function

This command sets the collection interval for each of the BPX node slot statistics. The default is for no statistics to be collected. The collection interval range is 1 minute-255 minutes (4 1/4 hours).

Table 1-35 lists the statistics associated with each slot in the BPX node. Figure 1-39 illustrates the command screen. This command is primarily a troubleshooting tool for use when hardware errors are experienced that may not be detected by the individual care self-test routines. An associated display command (dspsloterrs) is available for all users.

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 auto-dial modem, designate a network ID and a phone number. Configuring the auxiliary port for an auto-dial modem enables the following to occur: When a change in alarm status happens anywhere in the network, the auto-dial 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 SuperUser 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 a 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 figures and tables show. Table 1-41, Table 1-42, and Table 1-43 list the parameters for trunks carrying FastPackets and ATM cells on different platforms as well as virtual trunks. Figure 1-45, Figure 1-46, Figure 1-47, and Figure 1-48 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

BXM and UXM virtual trunks have the same 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 virtual trunks 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.

You can configure the Qbin values separately for rt-VBR and nrt-VBR classes on trunks using the cnftrkparm command. For rt-VBR, the cnftrkparm command configures Q-depth rt-VBR and Max Age rt-VBR. For nrt-VBR, the cnftrkparm command configures Q-depth nrt-VBR, Low CLP nrt-VBR, and High CLP nrt-VBR.

See Figure 1-51 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 1-41:
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 cell bus in an IGX node. The range is 1.0-3.0. (This parameter does not apply to the BXM card.)

5

EFCN - Rx Space

Same as 3, 20 except that FECN - Rx Space sets the threshold in the Rx space queues in the AIT or BTM card. Rx space queues face toward the IGX node.

6, 7

Low-High CLP-Rx Space

Same as 8, 9 except this threshold is for setting CLP in receive spacer queues for data to send to the local node.

8, 9

Rx High CLP
(Bdata A/BdataB)

Frame Relay cells/packets received from trunk with CLP bit set above this high threshold will be dropped and will continue to be dropped until the low threshold is crossed. Separate queues for Optimized Bandwidth Management and non-Optimized Bandwidth Management data. Given in terms of percent of queue depth.

10, 11

Rx Low CLP
(Bdata A/BdataB)

Same as for 8, 9 except sets low threshold.

12-17

Receive Queue Depth (rt-VBR, NTS, TS, BData A, BData B, High Pri.)

Reserves RAM in the trunk card for each of the receive queues in terms of the number of packets.

25, 26

Tx High CLP

Same as 8, 9 except this is threshold for setting CLP in transmit queues for data to be output to the next link.

27, 28

Tx Low CLP

Same as for 25, 26 except sets low threshold.

29-34

Transmit Queue Depth

Reserves RAM in the trunk card for each of the transmit queues in terms of the number of packets.


Note   For parameter 12, the system displays the following: "Warning—don't change Voice Q size, use Max Voice Age."

Note   In Release 9.2.20 and higher, 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 1-42:
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.

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 1-44 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.

In previous releases of the BPX and IGX switch software, only statistics from QBIN 1-9 were collected on AutoRoute trunks. Starting from switch software release 9.3.10, the switch allows the collection of additional QBIN statistics. Following is a summary of all QBIN statistics collected by the BPX and IGX. Qbin statistics are Cells Served, Cells Discarded, and Cells Received.

All other Qbins are unused, and the switch does not provide statistics for them. Also starting in switch software release 9.3.10, the switch provides the collection of Qbin Cells Discarded statistics via SNMP for the above mentioned Qbins.

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 1-45 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.

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). Select a value in the range 1 - 65535 seconds. Default for BCC card is 1600 seconds.

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 is 100.

<s_thr>

Specifies the failure threshold for self-tests. Default is 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 time-out 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 time-out value to 900 on the standby controller card, and then do a switchcc, the self-test time-out 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. Self-test and background tests are run on standby cards. Only background tests are executed on active cards.

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

With Release 9.3.20, the IGX 8400 supports the Universal Router Module (URM). The URM provides IOS-based voice support and basic routing functions. The URM is a combination of a URM front card and a 2FE2V back card. The URM hardware consists of an embedded UXM that provides the ATM interface to the IGX network and an embedded IOS-based router. The embedded UXM is based on UXM-E hardware. It is logically a one-port UXM without physical interfaces and provides functionality similar to the UXM/UXM-E modules in the IGX.

The URM supports card self-test and background test. The cnftstparm command is used to enable, disable, or configure the self-test and background test on the URM. The tests apply only to the embedded UXM side of the card.

Table 1-47:
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 resampling 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.

parameters

Specifies values for the voice parameters.

Function

The cnfvchparm command specifies voice card parameters for:

Table 1-48 lists the voice parameters you can specify with cnfvchparm. Table 1-49 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 1-50 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 reconfigure channels are

Syntax

dchst <channel> [interval]

<channel(s)>

Specifies the voice channel number(s) to configure.

<interval>

Specifies the refresh time for the data (1-60 sec.).

Function

This command displays state information for a CDP or CVM channel used for a specific connection. The interval parameter specifies the refresh time for the data. It defaults to 5 seconds. The Transmit and Receive dBm0 for both CDP or CVM indicate the input (toward the circuit line) and output power (from the circuit line) levels for the channel. Modem state indicates whether modem-detect is on or off.

Table 1-51 lists the parameters for the CDP or CVM card. Figure 1-65 illustrates the system display for a CDP or CVM.

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

Attributes

IGX

Yes

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 virtual terminal (VT) 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 only should be run at a time when this can be tolerated. 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.

<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.

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. The 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 and later switch software 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 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 1-56, Echo Canceller Parameters.

The main functional difference in behavior from previous switch software releases 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 1-57 shows the possible conditions and the corresponding actions.

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 1-57) 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.

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 introduces 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 also will 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 sents to Cisco WAN Manager have the following values:

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.

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

The following table 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.

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   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).

Syntax

dsphitless [summary screen (default)] or [d - detailed screen]

dsphitless [active window (default)] or [p - previous window]

dsphitless [c - clear stats for current window]

dsphitless [s - standby stats]

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 1-63 lists reroute statistics.


Table 1-63:
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

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.

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 toward the remote node; the receive direction is toward the local circuit line.

The dspsig command can be used to verify the connection signaling type. Figure 1-99 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.

dsptrkcons <line number>

<line number>

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 1-104 illustrates the dsptrkcons command display.

Function

This command displays the total number of connections being carried by the specified trunk. Rather than showing the remote end of the connection, the display lists the connection and the node that owns that connections.

This command is useful in determining the source of dropped packets in cases where the specified trunk is oversubscribed. First, use the dsptrkmcons command to list the trunks that originate at each node (the more connections per trunk, the greater the possibility of over-subscription). Next, use the dsprts command to identify any through-nodes (on which the trunk is not terminated). Finally, look at the utilization for each of these lines by using the dsputl and dspdutl commands.

Function

This command displays the statistics enabled for a trunk. It is intended for debugging statistics collection problems. It displays the trunk statistics set by the cnftrkstats command, by Cisco WAN Manager, or by node features. Figure 1-106 shows example statistics for a T3 ATM trunk. The Owner column shows the source of the specification. If the Owner column shows AUTO, the node's features determined the statistics. If the Owner column shows the name of the node, Cisco WAN Manager determined the statistics. If the Owner column shows USER, the cnftrkstats command was used to configure the statistics. The display may take up to four screens to display completely depending on statistics displayed.

Function

The dsptrkstathist command is a statistics debugging command. It displays the data for the last five occurrences of the selected statistic. The available trunk statistics appear on screen upon entry of the dsptrkstathist command. (The cnftrkstats command enables individual statistics. The dsptrkstatcnf command displays the enabled statistics for a trunk.) Figure 1-107 displays a statistic history for virtual trunk 1.1.1. The statistic is TX ABR Overflow Dropped Cells. This is statistic number 169. The execution of dsptrkstatcnf shows as enabled for this trunk. (If a disabled statistic is selected, a message stating this appears above the command line prompt.) The entered bucket interval is 0 minutes, which means that only the preceding 60 seconds worth of gathered data for number 169 appears.


Note   Enter the owner in all capital letters. You may have to enter owner "auto" in all capital letters.

Specifies the shelf back slot number of the circuit line.

[clear]

Directs the controller card to clear the utilization counters after being displayed.

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 by the total number of packets allocated to the specified channel. Only transmit packet rates are used. If the percentage of actual utilization exceeds the configured utilization the channel appears in reverse video.

Figure 1-109 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.

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.

<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:

A prompt is issued if the user runs the loadrev command during a time when statistics collection is enabled. If the user selects "yes," statistics collection is disabled before the loadrev command is executed.

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.

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.

<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.

<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"

If statistics collection is enabled at the time the runrev command is issued, a prompt is displayed, allowing the user to disable collection. If the user selects "yes," statistics collection is disabled.


Caution    All network nodes typically should be run with the same software revision to ensure normal network operation.

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.

<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.

You can use the tstbadubus command to test an NTM corruption problem. It can be used any time you encounter a possible cell drop problem. Issue the tstbadubus command to make sure the problem is not caused by the UBU allocation.

Syntax

tstbadubus

Function

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 affects only 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.

upgdlogcd (upgrade logical card database)

Use the upgdlogcd command to manually upgrade the logical card database when upgrading from a BXM card to a BXM-E card. This command should be used in conjunction with the cnfnodeparm command.

    1. Use the cnfnodeparm command; set the auto BXM upgrade parameter to N, specifying that you do not want the logical card database to be upgraded automatically when the new BXM-E card replaces the BXM card. The default value for the parameter auto BXM upgrade is N.

    2. Replace the BXM card with the BXM-E card.

    3. Use the upgdlogcd command to manually upgrade the logical card database on the active slot.

Yes

Function

Upgrading the logical card database manually instead of automatically allows you to easily switch back to the legacy card before the upgdlogcd command is executed. Note that, by default, the cnfnodeparm parameter auto BXM upgrade is set to Y. Using this default setting, the logical card database is automatically upgraded.

Refer to the BPX 8600 Installation and Configuration Guide for a list of upgrade options and procedures.

Associated Commands

cnfnodeparm, cnfcdparm

Syntax

upgdlogcd <log_card_num>

log_card_num

Specifies the logical card number; for example, upgdlogcd 6 upgrades the logical card database on the active BXM-E in slot 6.

Example 1

cnfnodeparm 54 n

Description

Set the auto BXM upgrade parameter to N, specifying that you do not want the logical card database to be upgraded automatically when the new BXM-E card replaces the BXM card.

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.

Syntax

upggrp [-c[reate] | -d[elete] | -s[how] ] <group_name>

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.
