MPLS AToM—ATM AAL5 over MPLS

Feature History

Release

Modification

12.0(10)ST

This feature was introduced to support the Cisco 12000 Series router.

12.0(21)ST

This feature was updated to support an additional line card.

12.0(22)S

This feature was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.0(22)S.

This feature module describes the ATM adaptation layer 5 (AAL5) over Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) feature for transporting AAL5 service data units (SDUs) across an IP/MPLS backbone. This document contains information about the benefits of AAL5 over MPLS and lists supported platforms. It also provides configuration tasks, examples and related commands.

Feature Overview

The AAL5 over MPLS feature provides an ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC) for transporting AAL5 SDUs across an IP/MPLS backbone with rate-limit policing and configurable PVC priority value. A dynamic MPLS tunnel is configured to enable label imposition and disposition of encapsulated ATM SDUs transported between two edge routers having a Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) neighbor relationship.

Label Stacking

Each routed PVC label stack has two levels of labels prepended to each ATM SDU:

•An Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) stack consisting of zero or more labels

•A PVC-based label

Routers at the edge of the MPLS backbone perform label imposition and disposition. The imposition router encapsulates the ATM SDU into an MPLS SDU to transport it to the correct disposition router. The disposition router takes the MPLS SDU, de-encapsulates the ATM SDU, and delivers it to the correct ATM interface and virtual path identifier/virtual circuit identifier (VPI/VCI).

Benefits

As Internet service providers (ISPs) begin to deploy IP/MPLS backbones, services including ATM frame switching must be supported. The AAL5 over MPLS feature allows an ISP to transport AAL5 frames over an IP/MPLS backbone consisting of Cisco 12000 Series router platforms with Packet over SONET (POS) links.

Restrictions

The following restriction apply to AAL5 over MPLS:

•The AAL5 over MPLS feature supports only AAL5 SDU switching.

•The following services are not supported with the AAL5 over MPLS feature:

–ATM switched virtual circuits (SVCs)

–ATM signaling

–Fragmentation and reassembly

–Traffic shaping of packets in the MPLS-to-ATM path

•The instructions for configuring AAL5 over MPLS in this feature module apply only to the Cisco 12000 series router for 12.0(21)ST. Avoid using these instructions for any other platform or release.

Maximum Transmission Unit Size Restriction

Because AAL5 over MPLS does not support fragmentation and reassembly, ensure that the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of all intermediate links between endpoints is sufficient to carry the largest ATM AAL5 SDU received.

Dynamic IP Labeling

You must enable LDP label distribution for the dynamic MPLS tunnels used for AAL5 over MPLS.

Configuration Tasks

See the following sections for configuration tasks to enable AAL5 over MPLS:

•Configuring a Dynamic MPLS Tunnel (required)

•Configuring ATM PVCs Over a Dynamic MPLS Tunnel (required)

•Configuring a CoS Map Matrix (optional)

•Configuring a Point-to-Point ATM Link on the Customer CE Routers (required)

Note Make sure dynamic MPLS switching is enabled on all interfaces in your core, including traffic engineering tunnels.

Configuring a Dynamic MPLS Tunnel

To configure a dynamic MPLS tunnel to transport ATM SDUs between two endpoints, perform the following steps on the routers that are endpoints of the tunnel.

Loopback0     12.12.12.12    YES    manual    up                        up
Step 2 To make sure the tunnel endpoints have discovered each other, use the show mpls ldp discovery command:
Router# show mpls ldp discovery
Local LDP Identifier:
    12.12.12.12:0
Discovery Sources:
    Interfaces:
        POS0/3 (ldp): xmit/recv
            LDP Id: 11.11.11.11:0
        POS5/0 (ldp): xmit/recv
            LDP Id: 14.14.14.14:0

        LDP discovery sources:
          POS0/3
          Targeted Hello 12.12.12.12 -> 11.11.11.11, active
        Addresses bound to peer LDP Ident:
          11.11.11.11     183.0.0.2       188.0.0.2       3.3.48.1
Step 4 To view the currently routed ATM PVCs, use the show atm route command:
Router# show atm route  
Input Intf   Input VC     Output Intf    Output VC   Status
ATM0/0       1            Tunnel8        555         UP
Tunnel8      555          ATM0/0         1           UP
Step 5 To view a summary of the ATM PVCs and PVCs configured over dynamic MPLS tunnels, use the show atm pvc command. To view specific information about a PVC, include a VPI/VCI parameter with this command.
Router# show atm pvc 
Interface    VCD/Name  VPI  VCI  Type  Encaps  Peak Kbps  Avg/Min kbps Burst Cells   Sts
0/0          1         0    888  PVC   SNAP    62200      0                          UP

Configuration Examples

This section provides the following configuration examples:

•Configuring a Dynamic MPLS Tunnel and the ATM PVC Over the Tunnel

•Configuring the Customer's ATM Subinterfaces in the PVC

Figure 1 illustrates the network configuration that the configuration commands reference.

Figure 1 Configuring AAL5 Over MPLS

Configuring a Dynamic MPLS Tunnel and the ATM PVC Over the Tunnel

The configuration commands for router 2 and router 3 accomplish the following for this example network:

•Configuration of dynamic MPLS tunnels between router 2 and router 3.

•Routing of PVC 0/203 across the dynamic MPLS tunnels between routers 2 and 3.

•Use of LDP for label distribution between router 2 and router 3 in support of the AAL5 over MPLS feature.

•Use of dynamic MPLS switching between router 2 and router 3. It is assumed that dynamic MPLS switching is enabled throughout the MPLS core.

•Configuration of routing on router 2 and router 3. The sample configurations assume OSPF is used within the MPLS core. The sample configurations illustrate the OSPF configuration to ensure that routers 2 and 3 have routes to the tunnel endpoints.

The following configuration commands configure the transport for PVC 0/203 between router 2 and router 3 across the MPLS core.

Note The mpls label protocol ldp command is a global configuration command. When you use this command from the Router# prompt, it forces all label distribution sessions to use LDP. See the MPLS Label Distribution Protocol Feature Module for more information on this command.

After a dynamic MPLS tunnel with MPLS transport is configured, you can use it as an outgoing interface by issuing the atm route interface command. Specify AAL5 for the encapsulation of the input PVC; the default encapsulation is AAL5SNAP. This ATM forwarding service does not look at the SDU being transmitted, it simply forwards the AAL5SNAP or AAL5MUX packet.

Routed PVCs are supported on main interfaces, not subinterfaces.

Examples

The following example shows an MPLS tunnel interface enabled for routing an ATM PVC:
Router(config)# interface atm 1/0
Router(config-if)# no ip address
Router(config-if)# no ip directed-broadcast
Router(config-if)# atm clock internal
Router(config-if)# no atm ilmi-keepalive
Router(config-if)# pvc 0/534
Router(config-if-atm)# atm route interface tunnel2 534
debug mpls atm-transport control

To enable debug messages about the control of traffic transported between ATM and MPLS, use the debug mpls atm-transport control command in EXEC mode. To disable the debug messages about MPLS ATM transport control, use the no form of this command.
