Configuring the PA-A1 ATM
To continue your PA-A1 ATM port adapter installation, you must configure the ATM interfaces. The instructions that follow apply to all supported platforms. Minor differences among the platforms—with Cisco IOS software commands—are noted.
This chapter contains the following sections:
•Using the EXEC Command Interpreter
•Configuring the Interfaces
•Checking the Configuration
•ATM Configuration Examples
Using the EXEC Command Interpreter
You modify the configuration of your router through the software command interpreter called the EXEC (also called enable mode). You must enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter with the enable command before you can use the configure command to configure a new interface or change the existing configuration of an interface. The system prompts you for a password if one has been set.
The system prompt for the privileged level ends with a pound sign (#) instead of an angle bracket (>). At the console terminal, use the following procedure to enter the privileged level:
Step 1 At the user-level EXEC prompt, enter the enable command. The EXEC prompts you for a privileged-level password as follows:
Step 2 Enter the password (the password is case sensitive). For security purposes, the password is not displayed.
When you enter the correct password, the system displays the privileged-level system prompt (#):
To configure the new interfaces, proceed to the "Configuring the Interfaces" section.
Configuring the Interfaces
After you verify that the new PA-A1 ATM is installed correctly (the enabled LED goes on), use the privileged-level configure command to configure the new interfaces. Have the following information available:
•Protocols you plan to route on each new interface
•IP addresses, if you plan to configure the interfaces for IP routing
•Bridging protocols you plan to use
•Whether the new interfaces will use LAN Emulation (LANE)
If you installed a new PA-A1 ATM or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you must enter configuration mode to configure the new interfaces. If you replaced a PA-A1-ATM that was previously configured, the system will recognize the new interfaces and brings each of them up in their existing configuration.
For a summary of the configuration commands available and instructions for configuring interfaces on a PA-A1 ATM, refer to the appropriate configuration publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section.
You execute configuration commands from the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter, which usually requires password access. Contact your system administrator, if necessary, to obtain password access. (See the "Using the EXEC Command Interpreter" section for an explanation of the privileged level of the EXEC.)
This section contains the following subsections:
•Shutting Down an Interface
•Performing a Basic Configuration
Shutting Down an Interface
Before you remove an interface that you will not replace, replace an ATM interface cable, or replace port adapters, use the shutdown command to shut down (disable) the interfaces to prevent anomalies when you reinstall the new or reconfigured interface processor. When you shut down an interface, it is designated administratively down in the show command displays.
Follow these steps to shut down an interface:
Step 1 Enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter (also called enable mode). (See the "Using the EXEC Command Interpreter" section for instructions.)
Step 2 At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal will be the source of the configuration subcommands, as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Step 3 Shut down interfaces by entering the interface atm subcommand (followed by the interface address of the interface), and then enter the shutdown command. Table 5-1 shows the command syntax.
When you have finished, press Ctrl-Z—hold down the Control key while you press Z—or enter end or exit to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter.
Note For the Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR router shelves, the interface specified in the above example would include a shelf number. For example, the command interface atm 5/2/0 would specify the first ATM interface of the port adapter in slot 2 of Cisco 7206 or 7206VXR router shelf 5. See Table 5-1.

Note For the Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR as router shelves, the show interfaces command requires a shelf number in the format show interfaces atm shelf-number/port-adapter-slot/interface.
Step 6 Reenable the interfaces by doing the following:
a. Repeat Step 3 to reenable an interface. Substitute the no shutdown command for the shutdown command.
b. Repeat Step 4 to write the new configuration to memory. Use the copy running-config startup-config command.
c. Repeat Step 5 to verify that the interfaces are in the correct state. Use the show interfaces command followed by the interface type and interface address of the interface.
For complete descriptions of software configuration commands, refer to the publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section.
Performing a Basic Configuration
Following are instructions for a basic configuration: enabling an interface, specifying IP routing, setting the MTU size, and configuring SONET framing. You might also need to enter other configuration subcommands, depending on the requirements for your system configuration and the protocols you plan to route on the interface. For complete descriptions of configuration subcommands and the configuration options available for ATM interfaces, refer to the appropriate software documentation.
In the following procedure, press the Return key after each step unless otherwise noted. At any time you can exit the privileged level and return to the user level by entering disable at the prompt as follows:
Step 1 Enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal is the source of the configuration subcommands, as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Step 2 Specify the first interface to configure by entering the interface atm subcommand, followed by the interface address of the interface you plan to configure. Table 5-3 provides examples.

Step 3 Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface (if IP routing is enabled on the system), by using the ip address subcommand, as in the following example:
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255
Step 4 Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and set the interface characteristics. Table 5-4 provides examples of other ATM subcommands.
Step 5 Reenable the interfaces using the no shutdown command. (See the "Shutting Down an Interface" section.)
Step 6 Configure all additional port adapter interfaces as required.
Step 7 After including all of the configuration subcommands to complete your configuration, press Ctrl-Z—hold down the Control key while you press Z—or enter end or exit to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter prompt.
Step 8 Write the new configuration to NVRAM as follows:
Router# copy running-config startup-config

Sets the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size. Set bytes in the range of 64 through 9188 bytes. The default is 4470 bytes. (4470 bytes exactly matches FDDI and HSSI interfaces for autonomous switching.) |
|

Configures the PA-A1 ATM for the SONET STM-1 setting. In STM-1 mode, the PA-A1 ATM sends idle cells for cell-rate decoupling. In STS-3 mode, the PA-A1 ATM sends unassigned cells for cell-rate decoupling. The default SONET setting is STS-3. |
|
|
Configures the PA-A1 ATM for the default STS-3 SONET setting. |
Router# no atm sonet stm-1
|
atm clock internal |
Configures the PA-A1 ATM to generate the transmit clock internally for SONET. By default, the PA-A1 ATM uses the recovered receive clock to provide transmit clocking. |
Router# atm clock internal
|
This completes the procedure for creating a basic configuration.
Virtual Circuits
A virtual circuit (VC) is a point-to-point connection between remote hosts and routers. A VC is established for each ATM end node with which the router communicates. The characteristics of the VC are established when the VC is created and include the following:
•Quality of service (QoS)
•ATM adaptation layer 5 (AAL5) mode
•Encapsulation type (Logical Link Control/Subnetwork Access Protocol (, multiplexing device, and Q.2931 Signaling ATM Adaption Layer)
Each VC supports the following router functions:
•Multiprotocol (AppleTalk, CLNS, DECnet, IP, IPX, VINES, XNS)
•Fast switching of IP packets
•Pseudobroadcast support for multicast packets
By default, fast switching is enabled on all PA-A1 ATM interfaces. These switching features can be turned off with interface configuration commands. Autonomous switching must be explicitly enabled per interface.
Configuring Permanent Virtual Circuits
All permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) configured into the router remain active until the circuit is removed from the configuration. The PVCs also require a permanent connection to the ATM switch. All virtual circuit characteristics apply to PVCs. When a PVC is configured, all the configuration options are passed on to the PA-A1 ATM. These PVCs can be written into the nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) as part of the Route Processor (RP) configuration and are used when the RP image is reloaded.
Some ATM switches have point-to-multipoint PVCs that do the equivalent of broadcasting. If a point-to-multipoint PVC exists, then that PVC can be used as the sole broadcast PVC for all multicast requests.
To configure a PVC, you must perform the following tasks:
1. Create a PVC.
2. Map a protocol address to a PVC.
See the Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide for more information on creating PVCs on the Cisco 7000 family of routers. Also see the "ATM Configuration Examples" section.
Creating a PVC
When you create a PVC, you create a virtual circuit descriptor (VCD) and attach it to the virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI). A VCD is an PA-A1 ATM-specific mechanism that tells the PA-A1 ATM which VPI/VCI to use for a particular packet. The PA-A1 ATM requires this feature to manage packets for transmission. The number chosen for the VCD is independent of the VPI/VCI used. When you create a PVC, you also specify the AAL and encapsulation. A rate queue is used that matches the default peak and average rate, which are equal, and are specified in kilobits per second. To create a PVC on the PA-A1 ATM interface, use the atm pvc command. To remove a PVC, use the no form of this command.
atm pvc vcd vpi vci aal-encap
VIP2 and VIP4 example:
Router(config)# interface atm 2/2/0
Router(config-if)# atm pvc 2048 255 128 aal5snap
Catalyst RSM/VIP2 example:
Router(config)# interface atm 0/0
Router(config-if)# atm pvc 2048 255 128 aal5snap
Cisco 7100 series example:
Router(config)# interface atm 3/0
Router(config-if)# atm pvc 2048 255 128 aal5snap
Cisco 7200 series and Cisco uBR7200 series example:
Router(config)# interface atm 2/0
Router(config-if)# atm pvc 2048 255 128 aal5snap
Note For the Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR router shelves, the interface specified in the above example would include a shelf number. For example, the command interface atm 5/2/0 specifies the first ATM interface of the port adapter in slot 2 of Cisco 7206 or 7206VXR router shelf 5.
The atm pvc command creates PVC n and attaches the PVC to VPI and VCI. The AAL used is specified by aal and encapsulation by encap.
The default for peak rate and average rate is that peak = average, and the PVC is automatically connected to the highest bandwidth rate queue available.

A per-PA-A1 ATM unique index value describing this VC in the range of 1 to MAXVC. (For Cisco 7200 series systems with PA-A1 ATM installed, MAXVC is fixed at 2047; the VCD value is not configurable. For Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series systems with a VIP2- or VIP4-based PA-A1 ATM installed, the value of MAXVC is 2047 and the VCD value is configurable from 1 to MAXVC.) |

A signalling type VC. |
Mapping a Protocol Address to a PVC
Cisco IOS software supports a mapping scheme that identifies the ATM address of remote hosts and routers. This address can be specified either as a VCD for a PVC or a network service access point (NSAP) address for SVC operation.
Enter mapping commands as groups; multiple map entries can exist in one map list. First create a map list, then associate the list with an interface.
Enter the map-list name command; then enter the protocol, protocol address, and other variables, as follows:
map-list name
protocol-type protocol-address [atm-vc vcd] | [atm-nsap nsap-address] [broadcast]
The broadcast keyword specifies that this map entry receives the corresponding protocol broadcast requests to the interface (for example, any network routing protocol updates). If you do not specify broadcast, the ATM software is prevented from sending routing protocol updates to the remote hosts.
After you create the map list, specify the ATM interface to which it applies with the interface command, as follows:
VIP2 and VIP4 example:
VIP2# interface atm 1/0/0
Catalyst RSM/VIP2 example:
Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7200 series, and Cisco uBR7200 series example:
Note For the Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR router shelves, the interface specified in the above example would include a shelf number. For example, the command interface atm 5/2/0 would specify the first ATM interface of the port adapter in slot 2 of Cisco 7206 or 7206VXR router shelf 5.
Associate the map list to an interface with the following command:
You can create multiple map lists, but only one map list can be associated with an interface. Different map lists can be associated with different interfaces. The following is an example of the commands to map a list to an interface on a Cisco 7200 series router:
ip address 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
ip 1.1.1.1 atm-vc 1 broadcast
Configuring Switched Virtual Circuits
ATM switched virtual circuit (SVC) service operates similarly to X.25 SVC service, although ATM allows much higher throughput. Virtual circuits are created and released dynamically, providing user bandwidth on demand. This service requires a signaling protocol between the router and the switch.
The ATM signaling software provides a method of dynamically establishing, maintaining, and clearing ATM connections at the User-Network Interface (UNI). The ATM signaling software conforms to ATM Forum UNI 3.0.
In UNI mode, the user is the router, and the network is an ATM switch. This is an important distinction. The Cisco router does not perform ATM-level call routing. Instead, the ATM switch does the ATM call routing, and the router routes packets through the resulting circuit. The router is viewed as the user and the LAN interconnection device at the end of the circuit, and the ATM switch is viewed as the network.
The Cisco router is used primarily to interconnect LANs via an ATM network. You can connect not only routers to ATM switches, but also any computer with an ATM interface that conforms to the ATM Forum UNI specification. See the Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide for more information on configuring SVCs for the Cisco 7500 series, Cisco 7000 series, and Cisco 7200 series of routers, and the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers. Also see the "ATM Configuration Examples" section,.
Maintaining PA-A1 ATM Statistics
The PA-A1 ATM maintains a count of certain errors. In addition to keeping a count of these errors, the PA-A1 ATM also captures a snapshot of the last VCI/VPI that caused the error. Each PA-A1 ATM error counter is 16 bits in size. Errors counted include the following:
•Cyclical redundancy check (CRC) errors
•Giants (a frame with more than 1518 bytes, including the CRC) received
•No buffers available
•Framing errors
•Application layer and physical layer errors
•Packet timeout errors on receive
Checking the Configuration
After configuring the new interface, use show commands to display the status of the new interface or all interfaces and use the ping and loopback commands to check connectivity. This section includes the following subsections:
•Using show Commands to Verify the New Interface Status
•Using show Commands to Display ATM Information
•Using the Debug ATM Commands
•Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity
•Configuring an ATM Interface for Local Loopback
Using show Commands to Verify the New Interface Status
Table 5-6 demonstrates how you can use the show commands to verify that new interfaces are configured and operating correctly and that the PA-A1 ATM appears in them correctly. Sample displays of the output of selected show commands appear in the sections that follow. For complete command descriptions and examples, refer to the publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section.
Note The outputs that appear in this document may not match the output you receive when running these commands. The outputs in this document are examples only.

Using the Debug ATM Commands
The following debug commands are available to aid in solving ATM network problems:
•To create a dump of all protocol packets, use the debug atm packet command. This command displays the contents of the SNAP/NLPID/SMDS header followed by the first 40 bytes of a packet in hexadecimal format.
•To display errors, use the debug atm errors command. This command displays information from all detected ATM errors. This includes such errors as encapsulation failures and errors during ATM configuration.
•To display ATM events, use the debug atm events command. This command displays event changes to the ATM port adapter. Reset configurations, VC configurations, and ATM port adapter configurations are displayed here.
•To display information about OAM cells, use the debug atm oam command. This command displays the contents of OAM cells as they arrive from the network.
After using a debug command, turn off debugging with the no debug command.
ATM Configuration Examples
For detailed configuration examples, refer to the router software publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section. This section contains the following subsections:
•Example of PVCs with AAL5 and LLC/SNAP Encapsulation
•Example of PVCs in a Fully Meshed Network
•Example of SVCs in a Fully Meshed Network
•Example of Connecting Two ATM Port Adapters Back-to-Back
For examples of emulated LAN configurations, see the Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide.
Note For the Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR router shelves, the interface specified in the following examples would include a shelf number. For example, the command interface atm 5/3/0 specifies the first ATM interface of the port adapter in slot 3 of Cisco 7206 or 7206VXR router shelf 5.
Example of PVCs with AAL5 and LLC/SNAP Encapsulation
The following example creates PVC 5 on ATM interface 3/0 using LLC/SNAP encapsulation over AAL5. ATM interface 3/0 (IP address 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255) connects with the ATM interface (IP address 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255) at the other end of the connection. The static map-list named atm1 declares that the next node is a broadcast point for multicast packets from IP.
ip address 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255
ip 1.1.1.1 atm-vc 1 broadcast
The following example is of a typical ATM configuration for a PVC:
ip address 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255
clns router iso-igrp comet
net 47.0004.0001.0000.0c00.6666.00

clns 47.0004.0001.0000.0c00.6e26.00 atm-vc 6 broadcast
Example of PVCs in a Fully Meshed Network
Figure 5-1 illustrates a fully meshed network. The following configuration examples for Routers A, B, and C follow the figure. In this example, the routers are configured to use PVCs. Fully meshed indicates that each network node has either a physical circuit or a virtual circuit connecting it to every other network node. The two map-list statements configured in Router A identify the ATM addresses of Routers B and C. The two map-list statements in Router B identify the ATM addresses of Routers A and C. The two map list statements in Router C identify the ATM addresses of Routers A and B.

Example of Connecting Two ATM Port Adapters Back-to-Back
Two routers, each containing a PA-A1 ATM can be connected directly with a standard cable, which allows you to verify the operation of the ATM port or to directly link the routers in order to build a larger node.
Define Cisco 7500 series interfaces by interface type and physical slot or port location. The show interfaces command displays the logical unit number in the router and the physical slot or port location in the Cisco 7500 series router. For complete configuration descriptions and examples, refer to the router software publications appropriate for your Cisco IOS software release.
To connect two routers, attach the cable between the ATM port on each.
By default, the PA-A1 ATM expects a connected ATM switch to provide transmit clocking. To have the PA-A1 ATM generate the transmit clock internally for SONET physical layer interface module (PLIM) operation, add the atm clock internal command to your configuration.
Note For SONET interfaces, one of the ATM port adapters in each router must be configured to supply its internal clock to the line.
Following is an example of configuration file commands for two routers connected through their SONET interface:
First router:
ip address 192.168.1.10 255.0.0.0
ip 192.168.1.20 atm-vc 1 broadcast
Second router:
ip address 192.168.1.20 255.0.0.0
ip 192.168.1.10 atm-vc 1 broadcast
This completes the PA-A1 ATM interface installation and configuration.
Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity
Using the ping command, you can verify that an interface port is functioning properly. This section provides brief descriptions of this command. Refer to the publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section for detailed command descriptions and examples.
The ping command sends echo request packets out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After sending an echo request, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to reply. Each echo reply is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each request that is not returned before the specified timeout is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points (!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed] indicate a bad connection.
Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the address 10.0.0.10:
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.0.0.10, timeout is 2 seconds:
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms
If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the destination and that the device is active (powered up), and repeat the ping command.
Proceed to the next section "Configuring an ATM Interface for Local Loopback" to finish checking network connectivity.
Configuring an ATM Interface for Local Loopback
To configure an ATM interface for local loopback (useful for checking that the PA-A1 ATM is working), use the following command:
Router# loopback diagnostic
Router# no loopback diagnostic
The no form of the command turns off local loopback.
To configure an ATM interface for external loopback, use the following command:
The no form of the command turns off external loopback at the line.
