Information About the 4-Port ATM ISE Line Card

The 4-Port ATM ISE line cards, which deliver line rate OC-12c/STM-4c or OC-3c/STM-1 bandwidth, provide enhanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities for high-speed customer aggregation, backbone connectivity, and peering solutions. These cards perform traffic shaping and per-virtual circuit (VC) queueing, and support per-VC Modified Deficit Round Robin (MDRR) with per-VC low latency queueing (LLQ). They also support Any Transport over MPLS (AToM), enhanced traffic policing, and the ability to configure both AToM VCs and terminated VCs on a single port.

MDRR is implemented on a per-VC basis with up to eight queues per VC, where one of the queues is a low latency queue (LLQ). Both per-VC Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) and per-VC MDRR are performed in the hardware.

The 4-Port OC-12c/STM-4c ATM ISE line card provides the Cisco 12000 Series Router with four 622-Mbps ATM interfaces. The 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 ATM ISE line card provides four 155-Mbps ATM interfaces. The cards communicate with the Cisco 12000 Series Router switch fabric.

How to Perform a Basic Configuration of the 4-Port ATM ISE Line Card

The 4-port ATM ISE line cards provide the ability to configure Layer 2 AToM VCs as well as Layer 3 terminated VCs. On any individual ATM interface, you can configure both AToM VCs and terminated VCs as required. The configurations of these are discussed in subsequent sections in this document. This section provides basic ATM interface configuration information and discusses those features that are applicable to both AToM VCs and terminated VCs.

Configuring ATM interfaces and virtual circuits is described in the following sections:

•Configuring an ATM Interface

•Configuring UNI and NNI Cell Support

•Troubleshooting Tips

Configuring an ATM Interface

Use the show running-config command to display current port configuration information. On power up, the interface on a new 4-Port ATM ISE line card is shut down. To enable the interface, you must enter a no shutdown command in configuration mode.

Default Interface Configuration

When the 4-Port ATM ISE line card is enabled (taken out of shutdown) with no additional configuration commands applied, the default interface configuration file parameters, described in Table 3, are used.

Configuration Basics

After you verify that the new 4-Port ATM ISE line card is installed correctly, use the configure command to configure the new interface. Be prepared with the information that you will need, such as the interface IP address.

The Cisco 12000 Series Router identifies an interface address by its line card slot number and port number, in the format slot/port. Because each 4-Port ATM ISE line card contains four ATM interfaces, the port numbers are 0 to 3. For example, the slot/port address of an ATM interface on a 4-Port ATM ISE line card installed in line card slot 2 is 2/0 to 2/3.

Use the following procedure to create a basic configuration, including enabling an interface and specifying IP routing. You might also need to enter other configuration subcommands, depending on the requirements for your system configuration.

(For descriptions of configuration subcommands and the configuration options available, refer to the appropriate software publications in the "Related Documents" section.)

You can designate that the cell format for an interface be either User Network Interface (UNI) or Network Node Interface (NNI). The default setting is UNI. Use the atm maxvpi-bits command to change the maximum VPI range from 0..255 (UNI) to 0..4095 (NNI).
Router(config)# interface atm 2/2
Router(config-if)# atm maxvip-bits 12
To change the interface setting back to NNI, use the no form of this command: no maxvip-bits 12.

This configuration should be entered before the connection is added.

How to Configure Layer 3 Terminated VCs on the 4-Port ATM ISE Line Card

The following configuration tasks are described in this section:

•Configuring Layer 3 Terminated Virtual Circuits

•Configuring ATM Shaping on Terminated VCs

•Configuring OAM Management on Terminated VCs

•Configuring Quality of Service on Terminated VCs

•Configuring and Managing VC Bundles

•Configuring Bridged PVCs

Configuring Layer 3 Terminated Virtual Circuits

A virtual circuit (VC) is a point-to-point connection between two ATM devices. A VC is established for each ATM end node with which the router communicates. The characteristics of the VC are established when it is created and include the following for the 4-Port ATM ISE line cards:

•Quality of service (QoS)

•ATM adaptation layer (AAL) mode

•Encapsulation type (LLC/SNAP, IP MUX, and NLPID)

•Peak and average transmission rates

Permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) configured on the router remain active until the circuit is removed from the configuration. All virtual circuit characteristics apply to PVCs. When a PVC is configured, all configuration options are passed to the 4-Port ATM ISE line card. These PVCs are written to the nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) as part of the configuration and are used when the Cisco IOS image is reloaded.

When you create a PVC, you create a virtual circuit descriptor (VCD) and attach it to the VPI and VCI. The VCD tells the card which VPI/VCI to use for a particular packet. The 4-Port ATM ISE line card requires this feature to manage the packets for transmission. The number chosen for the VCD is independent of the VPI/VCI used.

A permanent virtual path (PVP) is like a bundle of VCs, transporting all cells with a common VPI, rather than a specific VPI and VCI.

PVCs are created and configured using the pvc command in interface configuration mode. PVPs are created and configured using the atm pvp command in interface configuration mode.

The syntax of the pvc command is as follows:

pvc [name] vpi/vci

The syntax of the atm pvp command is:

atm pvp vpi

vpi is the ATM network VPI to use for this virtual circuit, in the range of 0 to 255 for UNI or 0 to 4095 for NNI; vci is the ATM network VCI to use for this virtual circuit, in the range of 0 to 655,535.

Troubleshooting Tips

To display information about the connected virtual circuits, use the following commands:

Command

Purpose

Router# show atm pvc

Displays current ATM PVC information.

Router# show atm vc

Displays current ATM VC information.

Configuring ATM Shaping on Terminated VCs

The 4-Port ATM ISE line cards support IP traffic shaping on terminated VCs. The following ATM shaping options are available:

•Constant bit rate (CBR)—Supports real-time applications that request a static amount of bandwidth that is continuously available for the duration of the connection. (See Step 5.)

•Real-time variable bit rate (VBR-rt)—Supports real-time applications that have bursty transmission characteristics. (See Step 6.)

•Non-real-time variable bit rate (VBR-nrt)—Supports non-real-time applications with bursty transmission characteristics that tolerate high cell delay, but require low cell loss. (See Step 7.)

•Unspecified bit rate (UBR)—Supports non-real-time applications that tolerate both high cell delay and cell loss on the network. There are no network service-level guarantees for the UBR service category, and therefore it is a best-effort service. (See Step 8.)

To configure ATM shaping, perform the shaping commands in PVC mode. You should use only one of the shaping commands in Step 5 through Step 8, depending on the type of shaping to be configured.

Restrictions

CDVT

When traffic shaping is configured on a VC, the cell delay variation (CDV) is set for the VC. This value will change according to the shaping class defined. The cell delay variation tolerance (CDVT) values are shown in Table 4.

Table 4 CDVT per Traffic Class for Traffic Shaping

305 msec

VBR-RT

70 msec

70 msec

VBR-NRT

185 msec

305 msec

Note For VBR connections in which the sustainable cell rate (SCR) is not equal to the PCR value, the CDVT is significantly lower.

Decreased VC Throughput

If you configure a VC on a 4-Port OC-12/STM-4 ATM ISE interface with a peak cell rate (PCR) or sustainable cell rate (SCR) greater than OC-6 (using the ubr, vbr-nrt, vbr-rt, or cbr commands), and attach a traffic policy with MDRR (configured using the bandwidth command) to the interface for specified traffic classes, when traffic on the interface from the specified classes is equal to or greater than the configured PCR or SCR values, frequent queueing and dequeueing changes occur between the MDRR queues and may cause a decreased VC throughput.

Decreased throughput is more likely to occur when the traffic consist of small packets and when a high amount of traffic is sent toward the high-priority queue. Such traffic will increase significantly the frequency of switches between queues, which may cause the nonpriority queues to lose their bandwidth. Therefore, when configuring a VC to more than OC-6, it is recommended to limit the high priority traffic using the police command.

SUMMARY STEPS

Use either Step 5, Step 6, Step 7 or Step 8 depending on the desired shaping.

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

enable
Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

•Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal
Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

interface atmslot/port.subifnum {point-to-point | multipoint}

Enable OAM management.

Step 6

oam retry up-count down-count retry-frequency
Example:

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam retry 3 5 1

(Optional) Specify OAM management parameters for re-establishing and removing a PVC connection.

Use the up-count argument to specify the number of consecutive end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell responses that must be received in order to change a PVC connection state to up. Use the down-count argument to specify the number of consecutive end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell responses that are not received in order to tear down a PVC. Use the retry-frequency argument to specify the frequency (in seconds) at which end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cells should be transmitted when a change in UP/DOWN state is being verified. For example, if a PVC is up and a loopback cell response is not received after the frequency (in seconds) specified using the oam-pvc command, then loopback cells are sent at the retry-frequency to verify whether or not the PVC is down.

Step 7

oam-pvc manage cc {end | segment} [direction {both | sink | source}] [keep-vc-up [end aisrdi failure | seg aisrdi failure]]
Example:

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam-pvc manage cc segment direction source

Configures ATM OAM F5 continuity check (CC) management to detect connectivity failures at the ATM layer.

Step 8

oam retry cc {end | segment} [activation-count [deactivation-count [retry-frequency]]]
Example:

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam retry cc segment 10 10 30

Configures the retry count and the frequency at which CC activation and deactivation requests are sent to the device at the other end of the PVC or the segment.

OAM Management

By default, end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell generation is turned off for each PVC. A PVC is determined as down when any of the following is true on that PVC:

•The router does not receive a loopback reply after a configured number of retries of sending end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cells.

•The router receives a Virtual Circuit-Alarm Indication Signal (VC-AIS) cell.

The router receives a Virtual Circuit-Remote Detect Indicator (VC-RDI) cell.

A PVC is determined as up when all the following are true on that PVC:

•The router receives a configured number of successive end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell replies.

•The router does not receive VC-AIS cell for 3 seconds.

•The router does not receive VC-RDI cell for 3 seconds.

Note the following regarding OAM management:

•When OAM management is not enabled, loopback (LB) cells received by the PVC are looped back to the sender, and for any received F4/F5-AIS, F4/F5-RDI cells are transmitted via this PVC, but the PVC state is not changed.

The 4-Port ATM ISE line card supports OAM management enabled mode for the entire range of VCs supported, while using the default frequency of 10 seconds on all VCs. The minimum OAM LB cell frequency of 1 second is currently permitted over no more then 50 PVCs (chassis performance limitation), and the default interval of 10 seconds is used for the rest of the PVCs.

OAM F5 Continuity Check

The 4-Port ATM ISE line card also provides OAM support for the use of F5 segment and end-to-end continuity check (CC) cells to detect connectivity failures at the ATM layer. It also generates various Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) notifications when CC cells indicate virtual circuit (VC) connectivity failure

ATM OAM F5 CC cells provide an in-service tool optimized to detect connectivity problems at the VC level of the ATM layer. CC cells are sent between a router designated as the source location and a router designated as the sink location. The local router can be configured as the source, the sink, or both.

The 4-Port ATM ISE line card implements two types of OAM cells: CC cells for fault management and CC cells for activation and deactivation. Fault management cells detect connectivity failures. Activation and deactivation cells initiate the activation or deactivation of continuity checking.

Configuring Quality of Service on Terminated VCs

Quality of Service (QoS) on terminated VCs is configured using the Modular QoS CLI (MQC). MQC allows users to create traffic policies and attach these policies to interfaces. A traffic policy contains a traffic class and one or more QoS features. A traffic class is used to classify traffic, and the QoS features in the traffic policy determine how to treat the classified traffic.

To configure and enable QoS on terminated VCs, you must define a traffic class, create a traffic policy, and attach this traffic policy to the PVC. See the "Configuring Modular QoS CLI" section for detailed instructions on how to complete these tasks.

The following tasks use the MQC to configure QoS on terminated VCs:

Configuring Traffic Policing

This task describes how to configure traffic policing using the MQC. Traffic policing can be configured for either ingress or egress traffic.

This task illustrates the use of the match access-group command. For information on other match options, refer to the "Configuring Modular QoS CLI" section.

When traffic policing is configured, packets coming into interface are evaluated by the token bucket algorithm to determine whether they conform to or exceed the specified parameters. The conform-action, exceed-action, and violate-action parameters in the police command determine what is done with the packets.

Configuring Per-VC MDRR and Low Latency Queueing

This task configures egress MDRR.

Using egress MDRR, the 4-Port ATM ISE line card supports up to eight queues for classes of traffic per VC. One of the queues is always reserved for a special class called class-default. Up to seven of the classes are normal queues, including the class-default queue. The eighth class is always a low latency queue.

The class, class-default, is always configured, and it consumes one of the eight queues. If not configured explicitly, it is configured implicitly. When the bandwidth command is used, at least 1 percent of traffic must be reserved for the class-default queue. All packets that do not match any user-defined class on the policy map are considered to belong to class-default, and therefore enter the default queue.

The low latency queue, or priority queue, is also always created. All traffic sourced from the router (including ping traffic and multicast traffic) uses this queue, regardless of classification.

Bandwidth percentages are converted into weights in units of ATM cells. The weights are internally proportioned such that the bandwidth is divided accurately among VCs.

The following are recommendations for configuring per-VC MDRR on the 4-Port ATM ISE line card:

•Set the bandwidth to be at least 10 percent in each class. The default class, class-default, should also have at least 10 percent of the bandwidth allocation; therefore, you should ensure that the bandwidth allocated to all configured classes is less that 90 percent.

•Set the MTU as low as possible on each subinterface, using the ip mtu command, while still avoiding fragmentation. Fragmentation causes extreme performance degradation, because it is done in the slow path. Do not decrease the MTU to the point where it causes fragmentation.

Note Changing MTU settings may cause all VCs on the interface or subinterface to be torn down and set back up.

If none of the classes is a priority class, the maximum number of classes that can be configured with the bandwidth command, excluding the class-default class, is six. When class-default is not specified, at least 1 percent must be allocated to this class.

If priority is not specified on any class, then any form of the bandwidth command can be used. If the priority command is configured without a police command (drop exceed-action), then the only form of the bandwidth command that is allowed on the other classes in the policy map is the bandwidth remaining command. If a police command is used on the priority queue, then all forms of the bandwidth commands are allowed.

Note If the class-default is not explicitly configured, it is implicitly configured. All remaining bandwidth is allocated to class-default.

Note VCs with a configured bandwidth (using the bandwidth command) are limited to a peak cell rate (PCR) of 299,520 Kbps on the 4-Port OC-12c/STM-4c ATM ISE line card.

Examples

Following are additional examples of configuring MDRR:

•Configuring Per-VC MDRR and Low Latency Queueing with Queue Limits

•Configuring Per-VC MDRR and Policed Low Latency Queueing

Configuring Per-VC MDRR and Low Latency Queueing with Queue Limits

In the following example, per-VC MDRR and LLQ are configured with nondefault queue limits.

Configure the policy map as shown in the example:
Router(config)# policy-map MDRRandQlimit
Router(config-pmap)# class class1
Router(config-pmap-c)# priority
Router(config-pmap-c)# class class2
Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth remaining percent 50
Router(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit 576 cells
Router(config-pmap-c)# class class-default
Router(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit 576 cells
After the policy map has been created, configure it on the VC using the service-policy command.

Configuring Per-VC MDRR and Policed Low Latency Queueing

If the police command is used with the exceed-action set to drop on the priority queue, then the bandwidth command can be used with either a percent or kbps specified.

The following example uses the bandwidth percent command to guarantee bandwidth to nonpriority classes. Twenty percent of the VC rate is guaranteed to class2.
Router(config)# policy-map MDRR-POLICE-LLQ
Router(config-pmap)# class class1
Router(config-pmap-c)# priority 
Router(config-pmap-c)# police 64000000 conform-action transmit exceed drop
Router(config-pmap-c)# class class2
Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 20
Router(config-pmap-c)# end
Router#
The next example uses the bandwidth remaining percent command, and specifies that 20 percent of the remaining bandwidth is guaranteed to class2.
Router(config)# policy-map MDRR-POLICE-LLQ
Router(config-pmap)# class class1
Router(config-pmap-c)# priority 
Router(config-pmap-c)# police 64000000 conform-action transmit exceed drop
Router(config-pmap-c)# class class2
Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth remaining percent 20
Router(config-pmap-c)# end
Router#
After the policy map has been created, configure it on the VC using the service-policy command.

Examples

Following are examples of configuring the IP DSCP value and the ATM CLP bit:

•Configuring the IP DSCP Value

•Configuring the ATM CLP Bit on a Per-Queue Basis with Per-VC MDRR

•Configuring the ATM CLP Bit on Class-Default Queue with Per-VC MDRR

•Configuring the ATM CLP Bit by Traffic Policing

Configuring the IP DSCP Value

This example marks packets of class1 by setting the IP differentiated services code point (DSCP):
Router(config)# policy-map QOS-SET
Router(config-pmap)# class class1
Router(config-pmap-c)# set ip dscp 63
Router(config-pmap-c)# class class2
Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 30
Router(config-pmap-c)# exit
Router(config-pmap)#
In the above example, class1 is configured with a nonqueueing feature. Traffic that is matched to class1 is considered to belong to this class for purposes of the nonqueueing feature, but for purposes of queueing, the packet will go into the default queue.

After the policy map has been created, configure it on the VC using the service-policy command.

Configuring the ATM CLP Bit on a Per-Queue Basis with Per-VC MDRR

This example configures the CLP bit setting on a per-queue basis. Precedence 0 and 1 go to the queue of class prec01 with CLP bit off; precedence 2 goes to the queue of class prec2 with the CLP on; precedence 3, 4, and 5 go to the queue of class prec345 with the CLP on; all other traffic goes to the queue of class-default with the CLP bit off.
Router(config)# class-map match-any prec01
Router(config-cmap)# match ip prec 0 1
Router(config)# class-map match-any prec2
Router(config-cmap)# match ip prec 2
Router(config)# class-map match-any prec345
Router(config-cmap)# match ip prec 3 4 5
Router(config)# policy-map SET_ATM_CLP
Router(config-pmap)# class prec01

Router(config-pmap-c)# set atm-clp 
Router(config-pmap-c)# class prec345
Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 10
Router(config-pmap-c)# set atm-clp 
Router(config-pmap-c)# exit
After the policy map has been created, configure it on the VC using the service-policy command.

Configuring the ATM CLP Bit on Class-Default Queue with Per-VC MDRR

This example configures the CLP bit setting on part of the traffic of the class-default queue. Precedence 0, 1 go to the queue of class prec01 with the CLP bit off; precedence 3, 4, and 5 go to the queue of class class-default with the CLP on; all other traffic goes to the queue of class-default with the CLP bit off.
Router(config)# class-map match-any prec01
Router(config-cmap)# match ip prec 0 1
Router(config)# class-map match-any prec345
Router(config-cmap)# match ip prec 3 4 5
Router(config)# policy SET_ATM_CLP
Router(config-pmap)# class prec01
Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 10
Router(config-pmap-c)# class prec345
Router(config-pmap-c)# set atm-clp 
Router(config-pmap-c)# exit
After the policy map has been created, configure it on the VC using the service-policy command.

Configuring the ATM CLP Bit by Traffic Policing

This example uses traffic policing to mark packets by setting the ATM CLP bit:
Router(config)# policy-map POLIC_SET_ATM_CLP
Router(config-pmap)# class class1
Router(config-pmap-c)# police 64000000 conform-action transmit exceed-action 
  set-clp-transmit 
Router(config-pmap-c)# exit
After the policy map has been created, configure it on the VC using the service-policy command.

Configuring and Managing VC Bundles

See the following sections for configuration tasks for the VC bundle management feature. Each task in the list is identified as either required or optional.

•Creating a VC Bundle

•Applying Bundle-Level Parameters

•Committing a VC to a Bundle

•Applying Parameters to Individual VCs

•VC Bundle Examples

•Troubleshooting Tips

Creating a VC Bundle

To create a bundle and enter bundle configuration mode, in which you can assign attributes and parameters to the bundle and all its member VCs, use the following command in subinterface configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Router (config-subif)# bundle bundle-name

Creates the VC bundle specified as bundle-name and enters bundle configuration mode.

Applying Bundle-Level Parameters

Bundle-level parameters can be applied either by assigning VC classes or by directly applying them to the bundle.

Parameters applied through a VC class assigned to the bundle are superseded by those applied at the bundle level. Bundle-level parameters are superseded by parameters applied to an individual VC.

The following sections describe applying bundle-level parameters:

•Configuring Bundle-Level Parameters

•Configuring VC Class Parameters to Apply to a Bundle

•Attaching a VC Class to a Bundle

Configuring Bundle-Level Parameters

Configuring bundle-level parameters is optional if a class is attached to the bundle to configure it.

To configure parameters that apply to the bundle and all its members, use the following commands in bundle configuration mode, as needed:

Command

Purpose

Router(config-if-atm-bundle)# protocol protocol {protocol-address | inarp} [[no] broadcast]

Configures a static map or enables Inverse Address Resolution (Inverse ARP) or Inverse ARP broadcasts for the bundle.

Router(config-if-atm-bundle)# encapsulation aal-encap

Configures the ATM adaptation layer (AAL) and encapsulation type for the bundle.

Router(config-if-atm-bundle)# inarp minutes

Configures the Inverse ARP time period for all VC bundle members.

Router(config-if-atm-bundle)# broadcast

Enables broadcast forwarding for all VC bundle members.

Router(config-if-atm-bundle)# ilmi manage

Enables ILMI management.

Router(config-if-atm-bundle)# oam retry [up-count] [down-count] [retry-frequency]

Configures the VC bundle parameters related to OAM management.

Router(config-if-atm-bundle)# oam-bundle [manage] [frequency]

Enables end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell generation and OAM management for all VCs in the bundle.

Configuring VC Class Parameters to Apply to a Bundle

Use of a VC class allows you to configure a bundle by applying multiple attributes to it at one time because you apply the class itself to the bundle. Use of a VC class allows you to generalize a parameter across all VCs, after which (for some parameters) you can modify that parameter for individual VCs. (See the "Applying Parameters to Individual VCs" section for more information.)

To configure a VC class to contain commands that configure VC members of a bundle when the class is applied to that bundle, use the following command in vc-class configuration mode. To enter vc-class configuration mode, use the vc-class atm command.

Command

Purpose

Router(config-vc-class)# oam-bundle [manage] [frequency]

Enables end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell generation and OAM management for all VCs in the bundle.

In addition to the oam-bundle command, you can add the following commands to a VC class to be used to configure a bundle: bump, precedence, mpls experimental, and protect commands. For more information about these commands, refer to the ATM VC Bundle Management on Cisco 12000 Series 8-Port OC_3 STM-1 ATM Line Cards document.

Attaching a VC Class to a Bundle

To attach a preconfigured VC class containing bundle-level configuration commands to a bundle, use the following command in bundle configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Router(config-if-atm-bundle)# class-bundle vc-class-name

Configures a bundle with the bundle-level commands contained in the specified VC class.

Parameters set through bundle-level commands contained in the VC class are applied to the bundle and all its VC members. Bundle-level parameters applied through commands configured directly on the bundle supersede those applied through a VC class.

Note that some bundle-level parameters applied through a VC class or directly to the bundle can be superseded by commands that you directly apply to individual VCs in bundle-vc configuration mode. For more information on bundle-vc configuration mode, see "Committing a VC to a Bundle" in the following section.

Committing a VC to a Bundle

To add a VC to an existing bundle and enter bundle-vc configuration mode, use the following command in bundle configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Router(config-if-atm-bundle)# pvc-bundle pvc-name [vpi/] [vci]

Adds the specified VC to the bundle and enters bundle-vc configuration mode to configure the specified VC bundle member.

For information on how to create a bundle and configure it, see the "Creating a VC Bundle" section and the "Applying Bundle-Level Parameters" section.

Applying Parameters to Individual VCs

Parameters can be applied to individual VCs either by using VC classes or by directly applying them to the bundle members.

Parameters applied to an individual VC supersede bundle-level parameters. Parameters applied directly to a VC take precedence over the same parameters applied within a class to the VC at the bundle-vc configuration level.

The following should be noted regarding parameters applied to individual VCs:

•Policing in a policy-map is performed on the aggregate traffic of the bundle. In other words, policing is not per VC, but rather for the whole subinterface.

•MDRR defined using the bandwidth command is applied to each VC separately. In other words, the weight of the MDRR will be relative to the traffic passing on each VC and not relative to the traffic passing on the bundle.

The following sections describe applying parameters to individual VCs:

•Configuring a VC Bundle Member Directly

•Configuring VC Class Parameters to Apply to a VC Bundle Member

•Applying a VC Class to a Discrete VC Bundle Member

•Configuring a VC Not to Accept Bumped Traffic

Configuring a VC Bundle Member Directly

Configuring VC bundle members directly is optional if a VC class is attached to the bundle member.

To configure an individual VC bundle member directly, use the following commands in bundle-vc configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Router(config-if-atm-member)# bump {implicit | explicit precedence-level | traffic}

Configures the bumping rules for the VC bundle member.

Router(config-if-atm-member)# mpls experimental [other | range]

Specifies which MPLS experimental bit values can be mapped to a member of a VC bundle.

Router(config-if-atm-member)# precedence [other | range]

Configures the precedence levels that apply to the VC bundle member.

Router(config-if-atm-member)# protect {group | vc}

Configures the bundle member to be an individually protected VC bundle member.

Router(config-if-atm-member)# service-policy {input | output} policy-map-name

Attaches a policy map to a member of a VC bundle.

Note Only one traffic policy can be applied to all VCs belonging to the same interface.

Router(config-if-atm-member)# ubr [pcr]

Configures UBR as the traffic shaping rule for the VC, qualified by an optional peak cell rate (pcr).

Router(config-if-atm-member)# vbr-nrt pcr scr [mbs]

Configures VBR-NRT as the traffic shaping rule for the VC, qualified by peak cell rate, sustainable cell rate (scr), and optional maximum burst cell size (mbs).

Router(config-if-atm-member)# vbr-rt pcr scr [mbs]

Configures VBR-RT as the traffic shaping rule for the VC, qualified by peak cell rate, sustainable cell rate (scr), and optional maximum burst cell size (mbs).

Router(config-if-atm-member)# cbr [pcr]

Configures CBR as the traffic shaping rule for the VC, qualified by an optional peak cell rate (pcr).

Parameters set directly for a VC at the bundle-vc configuration level take precedence over values for these parameters set for the VC at any other level, including application of a VC class at the bundle-vc configuration level.

Configuring VC Class Parameters to Apply to a VC Bundle Member

To configure a VC class to contain commands that configure a specific VC member of a bundle when the class is applied to it, use the following commands in bundle-vc configuration mode, as needed. To enter vc-class configuration mode, use the vc-class atm command in global configuration mode.

Command

Router(config-vc-class)# cbr [pcr]

Configures UBR as the traffic shaping rule for the VC, qualified by an optional peak cell rate (pcr).

Applying a VC Class to a Discrete VC Bundle Member

To attach a preconfigured VC class containing bundle-level commands to a bundle member, use the following command in bundle-vc configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Router(config-if-atm-member)# class-vc vc-class-name

Assigns a VC class to a VC bundle member.

Parameters that configure a VC that are contained in a VC class assigned to that VC are superseded by parameters that are directly configured for the VC through discrete commands entered in bundle-vc configuration mode.

Configuring a VC Not to Accept Bumped Traffic

To configure an individual VC bundle member not to accept traffic that otherwise might be directed to it if the original VC carrying the traffic goes down, use the following command in bundle-vc configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Router(config-if-atm-member)# no bump traffic

CLP Bit Setting on a Per-Experimental Basis with VC Bundling

CLP bit setting can be combined with VC bundling by configuring VC bundling on a group of VCs as desired, creating a policy map with CLP bit setting configured as desired, and then configuring the CLP bit setting.

This example configures VC bundling and CLP bit setting on a per-experimental basis. There are two VCs. Experimental 0 and 1 go to VC 1 with CLP on. Experimental 2 and 3 go to VC 1 with CLP off. Experimental 4 and 5 go to VC 2 with CLP on, and experimental 6 and 7 go to VC 2 with CLP off. This does not require a hierarchical policy, because there is only one queue per VC.

Note This example uses matching conditions based on the match mpls experimental command. This usage causes CLP bits to be set based on the incoming MPLS experimental bits. You can just as easily use the IP precedence bits to do this matching instead of the MPLS experimental bits.

Configuring Bridged PVCs

The purpose of bridged permanent virtual circuits (BPVCs) is to allow ATM interfaces in the Cisco high-end router to be used in an edge or aggregation role and connect to a Cisco Catalyst switch or to another remote device that supports bridged-format RFC 1483 PDUs only.

Note Only Ethernet frames using Ethernet v2 format are supported. IEEE 802.3 format is not supported.

To create a BPVC, perform the following steps:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Router(config)# interface atm 1/0.4 multipoint

Create a multipoint subinterface.

Step 2

Router(config-subif)# pvc 3/45

Create a PVC.

Step 3

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# encapsulation aal5snap bridge

Configure the encapsulation type to "aal5snap bridge".

Note Only one bridged PVC is allowed for each ATM subinterface.

How to Configure AToM VCs on the 4-Port ATM ISE Line Card

This section describes how to configure AToM VCs in the following tasks:

•Configuring Layer 2 AToM Virtual Circuits

•Configuring AToM VCs

•Configuring ATM Shaping on AToM VCs

•Configuring Cell-Based Traffic Policing on AToM VCs

•Configuring Experimental Mapping

Configuring Layer 2 AToM Virtual Circuits

A virtual circuit (VC) is a point-to-point connection between two ATM devices. A VC is established for each ATM end node with which the router communicates. Permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) configured on the router remain active until the circuit is removed from the configuration. All virtual circuit characteristics apply to PVCs. When a PVC is configured, all configuration options are passed to the 4-Port ATM ISE line card. These PVCs are written to the nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) as part of the configuration and are used when the Cisco IOS image is reloaded.

A permanent virtual path (PVP) is like a bundle of VCs, transporting all cells with a common VPI, rather than a specific VPI and VCI.

PVCs are created and configured using the pvc command in interface configuration mode. PVPs are created and configured using the atm pvp command in interface configuration mode.

The syntax of the pvc command is as follows:

pvc [name] vpi/vci l2transport

The syntax of the atm pvp command is:

atm pvp vpi l2transport

vpi is the ATM network VPI to use for this virtual circuit, in the range of 0 to 255 for UNI or 0 to 4095 for NNI; vci is the ATM network VCI to use for this virtual circuit, in the range of 0 to 655,535.

The l2transport keyword indicates that the PVP or PVC is a switched PVP/PVC and not terminated. Once you enter this command, you enter l2transport submode.

Troubleshooting Tips

To display information about the connected virtual circuits, use the following commands:

Command

Purpose

Router# show atm pvc

Displays current ATM PVC information.

Router# show atm vc

Displays current ATM VC information.

Configuring AToM VCs

Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) encapsulates Layer 2 frames at the ingress PE and sends them to a corresponding PE at the other end of a pseudowire, which is a connection between the two PE routers. The egress PE removes the encapsulation and sends out the Layer 2 frame.

The successful transmission of the Layer 2 frames between PE routers is due to the configuration of the PE routers. You set up the connection, called a pseudowire, between the routers.

The 4-Port ATM ISE line cards provide a number of configuration options for ATM over MPLS:

•AAL5: Encapsulates ATM AAL5 service data units (SDUs) in MPLS packets and forwards them across the MPLS network. Each ATM AAL5 SDU is transported as a single packet.

–Configuring ATM AAL5 over MPLS

•Cell relay in either VC or VP mode: Allows cells coming into a predefined PVC or PVP on the ATM interface to be transported over the MPLS backbone to a predefined PVC or PVP on the egress ATM interface. You can use cell relay mode to send single cells or packed cells over the MPLS backbone.

–Configuring ATM Cell Relay over MPLS on PVCs

–Configuring ATM Cell Relay over MPLS on PVPs

•Cell relay in port mode: Allows a single cell coming into an ATM interface to be packed into an MPLS packet and transported over the MPLS backbone to an egress ATM interface.

–Configuring ATM Cell Relay over MPLS on a Port

•Packed cell relay in either VP, VC, or port mode: Allows you to insert multiple concatenated ATM cells in an MPLS packet. The packed cell relay feature is more efficient than single cell relay, because each ATM cell is 52 bytes, and each AToM packet is at least 64 bytes.

–Configuring ATM Cell Packing over MPLS on PVCs

–Configuring ATM Cell Packing over MPLS on PVPs

–Configuring ATM Cell Packing over MPLS on a Port

•OAM Emulation: Allows for sending a remote defect indication (RDI) in response to an alarm indication signal (AIS) without passing it along the MPLS network to the egress provider edge (PE). It also allows for sending F5 loopback cells of loopback point (with loopback indication equal to 0) in response to F5 loopback cells of source point (with loopback indication equal to 1) without passing them along the MPLS network to the egress PE. In addition, it drops F5 continuity check cells without passing them along the MPLS network to the egress PE.

–Configuring OAM Emulation on AToM VCs

Prerequisites

Before configuring AToM, ensure that the network is configured as follows:

•Configure IP routing in the core so that the PE routers can reach each other via IP.

•Configure MPLS in the core so that a label switched path (LSP) exists between the PE routers.

•Configure a loopback interface for originating and terminating Layer 2 traffic. Make sure the PE routers can access the other router's loopback interface.

Configuring ATM AAL5 over MPLS

ATM AAL5 over MPLS encapsulates ATM AAL5 SDUs in MPLS packets and forwards them across the MPLS network. Each ATM AAL5 SDU is transported as a single packet. Perform this task to enable ATM AAL5 over MPLS.

Configuring ATM Cell Packing over MPLS on a Port

Port mode cell packing allows multiple cells coming into an ATM interface to be packed into an MPLS packet and transported over the MPLS backbone to an egress ATM interface.

To configure port mode, you issue the xconnect command from an ATM main interface and specify the destination address and the VC ID. The syntax and semantics of the xconnect command are the same as for all other transport types. Each ATM port is associated with one unique pseudowire VC label.

Perform this task to configure cell packing ATM over MPLS in port mode.

Restrictions

•In cell packing, only cells from the same VC/VP can be packed into one MPLS packet. Cells from different connections cannot be concatenated into the same MPLS packet

•The number of cells that can be packed varies from 2 to 28.

Configuring OAM Emulation on AToM VCs

If Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) Emulation is not configured, the OAM method is set to transparent pass-through on AToM VCs. OAM Emulation provides the ability to send a remote defect indication (RDI) in response to an alarm indication signal (AIS) without passing it along the MPLS network to the egress PE. It also allows for sending F5 loopback cells of loopback point (with loopback indication equal to 0) in response to F5 loopback cells of source point (with loopback indication equal to 1) without passing them along the MPLS network to the egress PE. In addition, it drops F5 continuity check cells without passing them along the MPLS network to the egress PE.

Restrictions

OAM Emulation can be enabled only on an AAL5 VC.

Troubleshooting Tips

To troubleshoot AToM VCs, use the following commands:

Command

Purpose

Router# show mpls l2transport vc

Displays information about AToM VCs that have been enabled to route Layer 2 packets on the router.

Router# show mpls l2transport vc detail

Displays detailed information about the VCs that have been assigned VC IDs.

Configuring ATM Shaping on AToM VCs

The 4-Port ATM ISE line cards support both VP and VC traffic shaping for AToM. The following ATM shaping options are available:

•Constant bit rate (CBR)—Supports real-time applications that request a static amount of bandwidth that is continuously available for the duration of the connection. Use the command cbr pcr.

•Real-time variable bit rate (VBR-rt)—Supports real-time applications that have bursty transmission characteristics. Use the command vbr-rt pcr scr.

•Non-real time variable bit rate (VBR-nrt)—Supports non-real-time applications with bursty transmission characteristics that tolerate high cell delay, but require low cell loss. Use the command
vbr-nrt pcr scr.

•Unspecified bit rate (UBR)—Supports non-real-time applications that tolerate both high cell delay and cell loss on the network. There are no network service-level guarantees for the UBR service category, and therefore it is a best-effort service. Use the command ubr pcr.

The following tasks illustrate how to configure the ATM shaping queue size and traffic shaping for CBR, UBR, VBR-rt and VBR-nrt classes of service on AToM VCs and VP tunnels in various transport modes.

•Configuring Cell Relay over MPLS on PVCs

•Configuring Cell Relay over MPLS on PVPs

•Configuring Cell Packing over MPLS on PVCs

•Configuring Cell Packing over MPLS on PVPs

•Configuring AAL5 over MPLS on PVCs

Restrictions

When traffic shaping is configured on a VC, the cell delay variation (CDV) is set for the VC. This value will change according to the shaping class defined. The cell delay variation tolerance (CDVT) values are shown in Table 6.

Troubleshooting Tips

Use the following show commands to display the cell relay and cell packing counters for troubleshooting purposes:

Command

Purpose

Router# show atm pvp

Displays information about configured PVPs.

Router# show atm pvc

Displays information about configured PVCs.

Router# show atm cell-packing

Displays the cell-packing counters.

Router# show interface atmslot/port

Displays ATM error counters for a particular interface.

Router# show mpls l2transport vc detail

Displays the status of any configured VCs. This command can be run on the RP or the line card (by using the exec slot command).

Router# show tag alpha-atom atm port port-no vcid vcid

Verifies the status of the AToM connection. You should use this to debug whether traffic entered a particular connection and was switched by the alpha. The vcid specified here is not the RP VC ID, but rather the line card CONN ID, which you can determine by running the command show controller atm 0 vcc.

See the "Troubleshooting ATM Errors on the 4-Port ATM ISE Line Card" section for more information on the output from these commands.

Configuring Cell-Based Traffic Policing on AToM VCs

Traffic policing is configured using the Modular QoS CLI. In order to configure traffic policing, you need to do the following:

•Define a traffic class to classify the traffic (See the "Defining a Traffic Class" section for more detailed information.)

•Create a traffic policy with QoS features that determine how to treat classified traffic

•Attach the traffic policy to a PVC

For Layer 2 traffic, you can configure traffic policies that will guarantee a particular quality of service (QoS) traffic class. This is done using the police rate command in policy-map class configuration mode.

The supported policing configurations are shown in Table 7.

¹GCRA=Generic Cell Rate Algorithm

If single-bucket policing is used, there is a single policy definition using the rate and burst tolerance parameters. For a two-bucket policer, the rate and burst tolerance are taken from the parent policy, and the SCR and ATM maximum burst size (MBS) values are taken from the child policy.

This section describes some of the most common tasks that are necessary to configure QoS traffic policing on AToM VCs. For more detailed information regarding MQC, see the "Configuring Modular QoS CLI" section.

•Troubleshooting Tips

Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to policing on the 4-port ATM ISE line card:

•The service-policy command must be used in l2transport mode. The EXP bit setting applies uniformly for CLP0 and CLP1 cells.

•Policing is supported on the 508 channels that can be used for cell packing or cell relay. The rest of the channels cannot be policed. The FPGA does not police on AAL5 channels or in port mode.

•When removing a two-level policy, you must remove the child service-policy before removing the parent service-policy.

•For VBR.1 and VBR.2 policies, the correct total number of cells dropped is obtained by summing the statistics collected by the first and second bucket-exceed counters. The statistic of the first bucket-exceed counter sometimes remains zero and cannot be used to represent the result of the first bucket policing. This is due to the design of the policing function in the hardware, where the first and second buckets operate in parallel and not in serial.

•UBR.2 is not supported.

•The policer is correct to an accuracy of 99 percent.

•The range of CDVT on the 4-port ATM ISE line card is 1..1,000,000. The default value is 50,000. It is recommended that you use a minimum CDVT value greater than 50, otherwise policing accuracy will be less than 99 percent.

•It is also recommended to use an MBS value of greater than 10 cells, otherwise policing accuracy will be less than 99% for the SCR bucket.

•The cell-based policer's burst tolerance on the 4-port ATM ISE line card is 1 second. If you configure a PCR and SCR such that the MBS exceeds the limitation that can be configured on the hardware, the policy will be rejected. You will be notified of the maximum MBS value that can be configured with the given PCR and SCR values.
