Serial Tunnel and Block Serial Tunnel Commands

---

Cisco's serial tunnel (STUN) feature allows Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) or High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) devices to connect to one another through a multiprotocol internetwork rather than through a direct serial link. STUN encapsulates SDLC frames in either the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) or the HDLC protocol. STUN provides a straight passthrough of all SDLC traffic (including control frames, such as Receiver Ready) end-to-end between Systems Network Architecture (SNA) devices.

Cisco's SDLC local acknowledgment provides local termination of the SDLC session so that control frames no longer travel the WAN backbone networks. This means end nodes do not time out, and a loss of sessions does not occur. You can configure your network with STUN, or with STUN and SDLC local acknowledgment. To enable SDLC local acknowledgment, the Cisco IOS software must first be enabled for STUN and routers configured to appear on the network as primary or secondary SDLC nodes. TCP/IP encapsulation must be enabled. Cisco's SDLC transport feature also provides priority queuing for TCP encapsulated frames.

Cisco's block serial tunnel (BSTUN) implementation enables Cisco series 2500, 3600, 4000, 4500, 4700, and 7200 routers to support devices that use the Binary Synchronous Communications (Bisync) datalink protocol and asynchronous security protocols that include Adplex, ADT Security Systems, Inc., Diebold, asynchronous generic, and mdi traffic. Our support of the bisync protocol enables enterprises to transport Bisync traffic and SNA multiprotocol traffic over the same network.

Use the commands in this chapter to configure BSTUN, Bisync, STUN, and SDLC local acknowledgment networks. For STUN and BSTUN configuration information and examples, refer to the "Configuring Serial Tunnel and Block Serial Tunnel" chapter in the Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration Guide.

asp addr-offset

Use the asp addr-offset interface configuration command to configure an asynchronous port to transmit and receive polled asynchronous traffic through a BSTUN tunnel. Use the no form of this command to cancel the specification.

asp addr-offset address-offset
no asp addr-offset

Syntax Description

address-offset

Location of the address byte within the polled asynchronous frame being received.

Default

No default is specified.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2 F.

This command is used to specify the offset from the start of the frame where the address byte is located. This command only applies when the asynchronous-generic protocol has been specified on an interface using a combination of the bstun protocol-group global configuration command and the bstun group interface configuration command.

Interfaces configured to run the asynchronous-generic protocol have their baud rate set to 9600 bps, use 8 data bits, no parity, 1 start bit, and 1 stop bit. If different line configurations are required, use the rxspeed, txspeed, databits, stopbits, and parity line configuration commands to change the line attributes.

The addresses of the alarm panels should be used in the address field of the bstun route address interface configuration command.

Example

The following example specifies that the first byte in the polled asynchronous frame contains the device address:

asp addr-offset 0

Use the no form of this command to cancel the specification.

asp role {primary | secondary}
no asp role {primary | secondary}

Syntax Description

primary	Router is the primary end of the polled asynchronous link connected to the serial interface, and the attached remote devices are alarm panels.
secondary	Router is the secondary end of the polled asynchronous link connected to the serial interface, and the attached remote device is a security alarm control station.

Default

No default is specified.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2 F.

This command enables the interface on which ASP is configured. Configure the interface connected to the alarm console as a secondary router and the interface connected to the alarm panel as a primary router.

The addresses of the alarm panels should be used in the address field of the bstun route address interface configuration command.

Example

The following example specifies the router as the primary end of the link:

asp role primary

Related Commands

asp rx-ift

Use the asp rx-ift interface configuration command to specify a time period that, by expiring, signals the end of one frame being received and the start of the next. Use the no form of this command to cancel the specification.

asp rx-ift interframe-timeout
no asp rx-ift

Syntax Description

interframe-timeout

Number of milliseconds between the end of one frame being received and the start of the next frame.

Default

The default timeout value is 40 ms.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2 F.

The interframe timeout is useful when different baud rates are used between the router and the alarm console or alarm panel. For example, you might set an interframe timeout of 6 ms if the polled asynchronous protocol is running at 9600 bps, but set the value to 40 ms if the protocol is running at 300 bps.

This command applies only when the asynchronous-generic protocol has been specified on an interface using a combination of the bstun protocol-group global configuration command and the bstun group interface configuration command.

Interfaces configured to run the asynchronous-generic protocol have their baud rate set to 9600 bps, use 8 data bits, no parity, 1 start bit, and 1 stop bit. If different line configurations are required, use the rxspeed, txspeed, databits, stopbits, and parity line configuration commands to change the line attributes.

The addresses of the alarm panels should be used in the address field of the bstun route address interface configuration command.

Example

The following example sets the interframe timeout value to 6 ms because the polled asynchronous protocol is running at 9600 bps:

asp rx-ift 6

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2 F.

This command is used to detect deactivation of devices at the host. If the host is told to deactivate or not poll a device it will take time for the signal to propagate the network and get the remote end from polling. The timeout can be used to fine tune the delay in detecting the host outage. The remote peer will stop polling the control unit that has timed out in the interval 1 to 2 times the configured timeout value.

Example

The following example configures a timeout of 50 seconds:

bsc host-timeout 500

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

When the ADplex protocol is specified in the bstun protocol-group command, ADplex device addresses are limited to the range 1 to 127 because ADplex alarm panels invert the device address in the ADplex frame when responding to alarm console commands.

When the adt-poll-select protocol is specified in the bstun protocol-group command, routes for specific addresses cannot be specified on the downstream router (connected to the alarm panel), because no address field is provided within frames that are sent back to the alarm console. The only way to route traffic back to the alarm console is to use the bstun route all form of the bstun route command. This is also true for the diebold protocol and any other protocol supported by the asynchronous-generic protocol group that does not include a device address in the frame.

When the adt-vari-poll protocol is specified in the bstun protocol-group command, ADT device addresses are limited to the range 0 to 255, and address 0 is reserved for use as a broadcast address for adt-vari-poll only. If address 0 is specified in the bstun route address form of the bstun route command, the address is propagated to all configured BSTUN peers.

It is possible to use both the all and the address keywords on different bstun route commands on the same serial interface. When this is done, the address specifications take precedence; if none of these match, then the all specification is used to propagate the frame.

Example

In the following example, all BSTUN traffic received on serial interface 0 is propagated, regardless of the address contained in the serial frame:

bstun route all interface serial 0

bstun route (Frame Relay)

Use the bstun route interface configuration command to define how frames will be forwarded from a BSTUN interface to a remote BSTUN peer over Frame Relay. Use the no form of this command to cancel the definition.

bstun route {all | address cu-address} interface serial number dlci dlci rsap priority priority
no bstun route {all | address cu-address} interface serial number dlci dlci rsap
priority priority]

Syntax Description

all	All BSTUN traffic received on the input interface is propagated, regardless of the address contained in the serial frame.
address	Serial frames that contain a specific address are propagated.
cu-address	Control unit address for the Bisync end station.
interface serial number	Specify a serial interface on which Frame Relay encapsulation is used to propagate serial frames.
dlci dlci	Data-link connection identifier to be used on the Frame Relay interface.
rsap	Remote SAP, to be used when initiating an LLC2 session. This argument is configurable only if the interface group number supports local acknowledgment.
priority priority	Priority port to be used for this LLC2 session. Configurable only if the interface group number supports local acknowledgment.

Default

No defaults are specified.

sdlc-tg	(Optional) Identifies the group as part of an SNA transmission group.
schema	Indicates a custom protocol.

Default

No protocol group established.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

Use the sdlc keyword to specify an SDLC protocol. You must specify either the sdlc or the sdlc-tg keyword before you can enable SDLC local acknowledgment. SDLC local acknowledgment is established with the stun route address tcp command.

Use the basic keyword to specify a non-SDLC protocol, such as HDLC.

Use the schema keyword to specify a custom protocol. The custom protocol must have been previously created with the stun schema command.

Use the optional sdlc-tg keyword, in conjunction with the sdlc keyword, to establish an SNA transmission group. A transmission group is a set of protocol groups providing parallel links to the same pair of IBM establishment controllers. This provides redundancy of paths. In case one or more links go down, an alternate path will be used. All STUN connections in a transmission group must connect to the same IP address. SDLC local acknowledgment must be enabled.

---

Note   If you specify the keyword sdlc in the stun protocol group command string, you cannot specify the stun route all command on that interface.

---

Examples

The following example specifies that group 7 will use the SDLC STUN protocol to route frames within that group:

stun protocol-group 7 sdlc

The following example specifies that group 5 use the basic protocol, wherein the serial addressing is unimportant and you have a point-to-point link:

stun protocol-group 5 basic

stun quick-response

Use the stun quick-response global configuration command to enable STUN quick-response, which can be used with local acknowledgment. Use the no form of this command to disable STUN quick-response.

stun quick-response
no stun quick-response

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

STUN quick-response is disabled.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3(5).

This command is used with local acknowledgment (local ack).

When STUN quick-response is enabled, the router responds to an exchange identification (XID) or a Set Normal Response Mode (SNRM) request with a Disconnect Mode (DM) response when the device is not in the CONNECT state. The request is then passed to the remote router and, if the device responds, the reply is cached. The next time the device is sent an XID or SNRM, the router replies with the cached DM response.

---

Note   Using STUN quick-response avoids an AS/400 line reset problem by eliminating the Non-Productive Receive Timer (NPR) expiration in the AS/400. With quick-response enabled, the AS/400 receives a response from the polled device, even when the device is down. If the device does not respond to the forwarded request, the router continues to respond with the cached DM response.

---

Example

The following example enables STUN quick-response:

stun quick-response

local-ack	(Optional) Enables local acknowledgment for STUN.
priority	(Optional) Establishes the four levels used in priority queuing: low, medium, normal, and high.
tcp-queue-max	(Optional) Sets the maximum size of the outbound TCP queue for the SDLC link.

Syntax Description

Defaults

TCP encapsulation is not established; TCP queue size default is 100.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0. The tcp-queue-max keyword first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.

SDLC transport participates in SDLC windowing and retransmission through support of local acknowledgment. SDLC sessions require that end nodes send acknowledgments for a set amount of data frames received before allowing further data to be transmitted. Local acknowledgment provides local termination of the SDLC session, so that control frames no longer travel the WAN backbone networks. This means end nodes do not time out, and a loss of sessions does not occur.

Example

In the following example, a frame with a source-route address of 10 is propagated using TCP encapsulation to a device with an IP address of 131.108.8.1:

stun route address 10 tcp 131.108.8.1

stun route all interface serial

Use the stun route all interface serial interface configuration command to encapsulate and forward all STUN traffic using HDLC encapsulation on a serial interface.

stun route all interface serial number [direct]

Syntax Description

number	Number assigned to the serial interface.
direct	(Optional) Indicates that the specified interface is also a direct STUN link, rather than a serial connection to another peer.

Default

No default is specified.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

An appropriately configured router must exist on the other end of the designated serial line. The outgoing serial link still can be used for other kinds of traffic (the frame is not TCP encapsulated). This mode is used when TCP/IP encapsulation is not needed or when higher performance is required. Enter the serial line number connected to the router for the interface-number argument.

Examples

In the following example, all traffic on serial interface 0 is propagated using STUN encapsulation:

stun route all interface serial 0

In the following example, serial interface 1 is a direct STUN link, not a serial connection to another peer:

stun route all interface serial 1 direct

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

TCP/IP encapsulation allows movement of serial frames across arbitrary media types and topologies. This is particularly useful for building shared, multiprotocol enterprise network backbones.

Example

In the following example, all STUN traffic received will be propagated through the bridge:

stun route all tcp 131.108.10.1

stun schema offset length format

Use the stun schema offset length format global configuration command to define a protocol other than SDLC for use with STUN. Use the no form of this command to disable the new protocol.

stun schema name offset constant-offset length address-length format format-keyword
no stun schema name offset constant-offset length address-length format format-keyword

Syntax Description

name	Name that defines your protocol. It can be up to 20 characters in length.
constant-offset	Constant offset, in bytes, for the address to be found in the frame.
address-length	Length in one of the following formats: decimal (4 bytes), hexadecimal (8 bytes), or octal (4 bytes).
format-keyword	Format to be used to specify and display addresses for routes on interfaces that use this STUN protocol. The allowable format keywords are decimal (0 to 9), hexadecimal (0 to F), and octal (0 to 7).

Default

No protocol is defined.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

Use this command before defining the protocol group (stun protocol-group command). The serial protocol you define must meet the following criteria:

•The protocol uses full-duplex conventions (RTS/CTS always high).

•The protocol uses standard HDLC checksum and framing (beginning and end of frames, data between frames).

•Addresses are contained in a constant location (offset) within the frame.

•Addresses are found on a byte boundary.

Example

In the following example, a protocol named new-sdlc is created. In the protocol frame structure, the constant offset is 0, the address length is 1 byte, and the address format is hexadecimal:

stun schema new-sdlc offset 0 length 1 format hexadecimal
