This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command is supported on the AIP for Cisco 7500 series routers. This command is not supported on the ATM port adapter for Cisco 7200 and 7500 series routers, nor is it supported on Cisco 4500 and Cisco 4700 routers.

Examples

The following example configures the AIP to perform up to 300 packet fragmentations simultaneously:

atm txbuff 300

atm uni-version

To specify the User-Network Interface (UNI) version (3.0 or 3.1) the router should use when ILMI link autodetermination is unsuccessful or ILMI is disabled, use the atm uni-version interface configuration command. To restore the default value to 3.0, use the no form of this command.

atm uni-version version-number

no atm uni-version version-number

Syntax Description

Modification

11.2

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Normally, when the ILMI link autodetermination is enabled on the interface and is successful, the router accepts the UNI version returned by ILMI. If the ILMI link autodetermination is unsuccessful or ILMI is disabled, the UNI version defaults to 3.0. You can override the default UNI version by using this command to enable UNI 3.1 signaling support. The no form of the command sets the UNI version to one returned by ILMI if ILMI is enabled and the link autodetermination process is successful. Otherwise, the UNI version reverts to 3.0.

Examples

The following example specifies UNI version 3.1 signaling port on the ATM interface 2/0:

interface atm 2/0
 atm uni-version 3.1

atm vc-per-vp

To set the maximum number of VCIs to support per VPI, use the atm vc-per-vp interface configuration command. The no form of this command restores the default value.

atm vc-per-vp number

no atm vc-per-vp

Syntax Description

number

Maximum number of VCIs to support per VPI. On the AIP for Cisco 7500 series routers, valid values are: 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024.

On the ATM port adapter for Cisco 7200 series and Cisco 7500 series routers, valid values are: 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, or 2048.

On the NPM for Cisco 4500 and Cisco 4700 routers, valid values are: 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, or 8192.

Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command is supported on Cisco 7500 series routers, but not on Cisco 4500 and Cisco 4700 routers. This command is not supported on ATM port adapters.

This command allows you to specify a VPI or range of VPIs to be used for AAL3/4 processing. All other VPIs map to AAL5 processing. If only AAL5 processing is required, you can either let the virtual path filter default or set it to an arbitrary VPI so that AAL5 processing is performed on all VPIs.

This command configures the hexadecimal value used in the virtual path filter register in the reassembly operation. The virtual path filter comprises 16 bits. The virtual path filter register uses the most significant bits (bits 15 through 8, the left half of the filter) as mask bits, and uses bits 7 through 0 (the right half of the filter) as compare bits.

When a cell is received, the right half of the filter is exclusively NORed with the binary value of the incoming VPI. The result is then ORed with the left half of the filter (the mask). If the result is all 1s, then reassembly is done using the VCI/MID table (AAL3/4 processing). Otherwise, reassembly is done using the VPI-VCI pair table (AAL5 processing).

Examples

In the following example, all incoming cells are reassembled using AAL3/4 processing:

atm vp-filter ff00

In the following example, all incoming cells with the virtual path equal to 0 are reassembled using AAL3/4 processing; all other cells are reassembled using AAL5 processing:

atm vp-filter 0

In the following example, all incoming cells with the most significant bit of the virtual path set are reassembled using AAL3/4 processing; all other cells are reassembled using AAL5 processing:

atm vp-filter 7f80

broadcast

To configure broadcast packet duplication and transmission for an ATM PVC, SVC, or VC class, use the broadcast command in the appropriate command mode. Use the no form of this command to disable transmission of broadcast packets for your ATM PVC, SVC, or VC class. Use the default form of this command to restore the default behavior according to the description in the "Usage Guidelines" section below.

broadcast

no broadcast

default broadcast

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

Disabled. For classical IP SVCs, broadcast is enabled.

Command Modes

Interface-ATM-VC configuration (for ATM PVCs and SVCs). VC-class configuration (for a VC class)

Command History

Release
Modification

11.3

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

If broadcasting and multipoint signaling is enabled on an SVC, a multipoint SVC will be created to handle the SVC.


Note If you use the protocol command to configure broadcasting for an ATM PVC, SVC, or VC class, this configuration takes precedence over any previous configuration using the broadcast command.


If the broadcast command is not explicitly configured on an ATM PVC or SVC, the VC inherits the following default configuration (listed in order of next highest precedence):

Configuration of the broadcast command in a VC class assigned to the PVC or SVC itself.

Configuration of the broadcast command in a VC class assigned to the PVC's or SVC's ATM subinterface.

Configuration of the broadcast command in a VC class assigned to the PVC's or SVC's ATM main interface.

Global default: Disabled. For classical IP SVCs, broadcast is enabled.

Examples

The following command enables the transmission of broadcast packets on an ATM PVC named router5:

pvc router 5 1/32
 broadcast

Command History

Release
Modification

11.1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The clock mode must be synchronous for structured mode. In unstructured mode, use adaptive when a network-derived clock is not available.

Use srts when a network-derived clock is available but devices attached to the CES port use a different clock reference. The srts keyword samples the incoming clock, subtracts from the network clock, and sends the remainder in an AAL1 header. The clock is reconstructed during output by adding the residual to the network reference.

Use synchronous for all other modes.

Examples

The following command sets the AAL1 timing recovery clock to adaptive mode:

interface cbr 4/0
 ces aal1 clock adaptive

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

For unstructured service, the circuit number is 0. For T1 structured service, the circuit number is 1 through 24. For E1 structured service, the time slots are 1 through 31.

Channel-associated signaling (CAS) provides information about the time slot (on or off the hook) and is updated once per multiframe.

With both the CAS and on-hook detection features enabled, these features work together to enable an ingress node in an ATM network to monitor on-hook and off-hook conditions for a specified 1 x 64 structured CES circuit. As implied by the notation "1 x 64," the on-hook detection (or bandwidth-release) feature is supported only in a structured CES circuit that involves a single time slot at each end of the connection.

The time slot configured for the structured CES circuit at the ingress node (time slot 2) can be different from the DS0 time slot configured at the egress node (time slot 4). Only one such time slot can be configured at each end of the circuit when the on-hook detection feature is used.

When you invoke the on-hook feature, the ingress ATM-CES port adapter monitors the ABCD bits in the incoming CBR bit stream to detect on-hook and off-hook conditions in the circuit. In an "off-hook" condition, all the bandwidth provisioned for the specified CES circuit is used for transporting ATM AAL1 cells across the network from the ingress node to the egress node.

In an on-hook condition, the network periodically sends dummy ATM cells from the ingress node to the egress node to maintain the connection. However, these dummy cells consume only a fraction of the circuit's reserved bandwidth, leaving the rest of the bandwidth available for use by other network traffic. This bandwidth-release feature enables the network to make more efficient use of its resources.

When the CAS feature is enabled for a CES circuit, the bandwidth of the DS0 channel is limited to 56 kbps for user data, because CAS functions consume 8 kbps of channel bandwidth for transporting the ABCD signaling bits. These signaling bits are passed transparently from the ingress node to the egress node as part of the ATM AAL1 cell stream.

In summary, when the optional CAS and on-hook detection features are enabled, the following conditions apply:

The permanent virtual connection (PVC) provisioned for the CES circuit always exists.

The bandwidth for the CES circuit is always reserved.

During an on-hook state, most of the bandwidth reserved for the CES circuit is not in use. (Dummy cells are sent from the ingress node to the egress node to maintain the connection.) Therefore, this bandwidth becomes available for use by other network traffic, such as available bit rate (ABR) traffic.

During an off-hook state, all the bandwidth reserved for the CES circuit is dedicated to that circuit.

The following example sets the structured service CDV range to 5000 milliseconds and enables the interface.

interface cbr 4/0
 ces circuit 3 cdv 5000
 ces circuit 3 no shutdown

Usage Guidelines

A T1 frame consists of 24 time slots (DS0) that send at a rate of 64 kbps. T1 defines the ability to send signaling in-band on individual time slots by removing the low bit of each byte for signaling in robbedbit mode. This procedure allows 8 kbps for signaling and leaves 56 kbps for data.

In structured mode, you can send the T1 signaling information across the network. This means that after you enable robbedbit signaling mode on the port, and enable CAS on individual circuits that need this type of service, you are robbing bits from the DS0. The system then puts the bits in the specified format to be sent across the network and reinserts them at the passive side on the CES-IWF connection.

Examples

The following example enables channel associated signaling and robbed bit signaling:

interface cbr 4/0
 ces circuit 1 cas

Usage Guidelines

Use the interface option to create a hard PVC. Use the dest-atm-addr option to create a soft PVC. Soft PVCs are not supported on Cisco 7200 series routers.

You must configure both sides of the CES circuits because at the source (the active side in CES-IWF), the time slots are not recognized at the destination (the passive side).

Each CES circuit has an ATM address. When configuring the source PVC, you need the destination ATM address.

Examples

The following example shows setting a hard PVC. In this example, the destination of ATM port 0 in slot 1 is assigned to circuit 31 on CBR port 0 in slot 4.

dxi map protocol protocol-address vpi vci [broadcast]

no dxi map protocol protocol-address

Syntax Description

protocol

One of the following bridging or protocol keywords: apollo, appletalk, bridge, clns, decnet, ip, novell, vines, or xns.

protocol-address

Protocol-specific address.

vpi

Virtual path identifier in the range 0 to 15.

vci

Virtual circuit identifier in the range 0 to 63.

broadcast

(Optional) Broadcasts should be forwarded to this address.


Defaults

No map definition is established.

Usage Guidelines

This command is used in configurations where the router is intended to communicate with an ATM network through an ATM data service unit (ADSU). Given the circuit identifier parameters (VPI and VCI) for the ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC), the router computes and uses the DXI frame address (DFA) that is used for communication between the router and the ADSU.

The dxi map command can be used only on a serial interface or HSSI configured for ATM-DXI encapsulation.

Examples

The following example converts all IP packets intended for the host with IP address 172.21.170.49 into ATM cells identified with a VPI of 2 (binary 0000 0010) and a VCI of 46 (binary 0000 0000 0010 1110) by the ADSU:

interface serial 0
 dxi map ip 172.21.170.49 2 46 broadcast

Using the mapping defined in Annex A of the ATM DXI Specification, the router uses the VPI and VCI information in this example to compute a DFA of 558 (binary 1000101110). The ADSU will use the DFA of the incoming frame to extract the VPI and VCI information when formulating ATM cells.

Description

dxi pvc

Configures multiprotocol or single protocol ATM-DXI encapsulation.

encapsulation atm-dxi

Enables ATM-DXI encapsulation.


dxi pvc

To configure multiprotocol or single protocol ATM-DXI encapsulation, use the dxi pvc interface configuration command. The no form of this command disables multiprotocol ATM-DXI encapsulation.

dxi pvc vpi vci [snap | nlpid | mux]

no dxi pvc vpi vci [snap | nlpid | mux]

Syntax Description

vpi

ATM network virtual path identifier (VPI) of this PVC, in the range from 0 through 15. The VPI is a 4-bit field in the header of the ATM DXI frame. The VPI value is unique only on a single interface, not throughout the ATM network, because it has local significance only.

Both vpi and vci cannot be specified as 0; if one is 0, the other cannot be 0.

vci

ATM network virtual channel identifier (VCI) of this PVC, in the range from 0 to 63. The VCI is a 6-bit field in the header of the ATM DXI frame. The VCI value is unique only on a single interface, not throughout the ATM network, because it has local significance only.

Both vpi and vci cannot be specified as 0; if one is 0, the other cannot be 0

snap

(Optional) LLC/SNAP encapsulation based on the protocol used in the packet. This keyword defines a PVC that can carry multiple network protocols. This is the default.

nlpid

(Optional) RFC 1294/1490 encapsulation. This option is provided for backward compatibility with the default encapsulation in earlier versions of the Cisco IOS software.

mux

(Optional) MUX encapsulation; the carried protocol is defined by the dxi map command when the PVC is set up. This keyword defines a PVC that carries only one network protocol.


Defaults

LLC/SNAP encapsulation.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command can be used only on a serial interface or HSSI that is configured with ATM-DXI encapsulation.

Select the nlpid option if software earlier than Cisco IOS Release 10.3 was loaded on this router, and the router was configured for the default encapsulation, which was nlpid before Release 10.3.

Examples

The following example configures ATM-DXI MUX encapsulation on serial interface 1. The PVC identified by a VPI of 10 and a VCI of 10 can carry a single protocol. Then the protocol to be carried on this PVC is defined by the dxi map command.

interface serial 1
 dxi pvc 10 10 mux
 dxi map ip 172.21.176.45 10 10 broadcast

The following example configures ATM-DXI NLPID encapsulation on serial interface 1. The PVC identified by a VPI of 11 and a VCI of 12 can carry multiprotocol traffic that is encapsulated with a header described in RFC 1294/1490.

interface serial 1
 dxi pvc 11 12 nlpid

Syntax Description

encap

ATM adaptation layer (AAL) and encapsulation type. When mux is specified, a protocol is required. Possible values for encap are as follows:

ciscoppp—For Cisco PPP over ATM. Supported on ATM PVCs only.

mux apollo—For a multiplex (MUX)-type virtual circuit using the Apollo protocol.

mux appletalk—For a MUX-type virtual circuit using the AppleTalk protocol.
