Feature Summary
This document describes how to configure, verify, and troubleshoot a Cisco 3600 series router after the ATM OC-3 Network Module has been installed. The ATM OC-3 Network Module allows your router to concentrate data, voice, and video traffic onto an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) uplink. The following models are available:
Table 1 Models of ATM OC-3 Network Modules
Network Module
|
Description
|
NM-1A-OC3MM
|
Single port ATM OC-3 multinode network module.
|
NM-1A-OC3SMI
|
Single port ATM OC-3 single-mode, intermediate reach network module.
|
NM-1A-OC3SML
|
Single port ATM OC-3 single-mode, long reach network module.

Note Installing more than one ATM OC-3 in your Cisco 3600 series router may result in significantly degraded performance.
Benefits
The ATM OC-3 Network Module is an ATM network module designed for Optical Carrier level 3 (OC3) high-bandwidth data and voice or data integration applications over Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) at speeds of 155.520 Mbps (STM-1). The ATM OC-3 network module can combine router packets with constant bit rate (CBR) data onto an ATM uplink. This network module provides the following features at the ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) and ATM layers:
•Either OC3 Single Mode (SM) Intermediate Reach, OC3 Single Mode (SM) Long Reach, or OC3 Multi Mode (MM)
•Supports ATM Addaptation Layer 5 (AAL5)
•Supports 4 bits of virtual path identifier (VPI) and 10 bits of virtual channel identifier (VCI)
•Supports up to 1024 virtual clients
•Supports these service classes: available bit rate (ABR), constant bit rate (CBR), unspecified bit rate (UBR), UBR+, variable bit rate for both real time (VBR-rt), and non real time (VBR-nrt)
•ABR permenant virtual circuits (PVCs) and switched virtual circuits (SVCs)
•ATM PVC management
•Multi Queue Segmentation and Reassembly
•Multiple Protocol over ATM - MPoA
•ATM Traffic Management
•Bandwidth Management
•Cisco point-to-point protocol (PPP) over ATM
•Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) PPP
•LAN emulation (LANE) support
•Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) cell support
•Early Packet Discard
•Uses standard Cisco ATM IOS CLI commands
•ATM Bandwidth Management
•On-line Insertion and Removal (OIR), enabled only in hardware
•Supports a maximum of 1024 connections, simultaniously
•F4 OAM cell support
•F5 OAM cell support
•Supports three permenant virtual path (PVP) connections
The Segmentation and Reassembly (SAR) converts packets to and from cells that are using the AAL5 adaptation layer. The SAR also provides comprehensive bit rate management providing UBR, VBR, CBR and full end-to-end ABR service.
The OC3 port provides three different fiber interfaces: multimode, single-mode intermediate reach, and single-mode long reach capabilities. The uplink port accepts transmission timing from the primary reference clock on the backplane or from the ATM network.
Restrictions
The ATM OC-3 network module can be configured with the following restrictions:
•If you configure an ABR VC, either in a vc-class or in vcmode, the MCR value you enter is ignored, and an MCR of 0 is used, even though this is not apparent from the configuration. Additionally, ABR PCR values are configurable in a range from 0 to line rate. The MCR is honored, however. Currently, the ATM OC-3 rounds the configured value down to one of the following values:
• 64 Kbit/sec
• 384 K
• 768 K
• 1,534 K
• 2 M
• 4 M
• 10 M
• 16 M
• 25.6 M
• 44 M
• 75 M
• 100 M
• 125 M
• 149 M
•When you configure a UBR+ VC, the Cisco CLI requires that you specify a PCR. Due to a hardware limitation, any value you enter is ignored by the ATM OC-3 and a value of 155 Mbits per second is used.
•The ATM OC-3 does not allow configuring interfaces and sub-interfaces by using the traffic-shape parameter. That is because theATMOC-3 supports traffic shaping through native ATM means by making a traffic class for UBR, UBR+, ABR, VBR-rt, VBR-ntr, and CBR.
If you are still having trouble, enable ATM debug mode using the debug atm errors command.
Note Using debug commands may generate enormous amounts of data, which may cause significant degredation in performance.

Verifying PVC Configuration
To verify the correct PVC configuration:
•Enter the show running-config command to view the status for all controllers, or enter the show interface atm slot/port command to view the status for a particular controller. Make sure that the line protocol is up (see first line), Frame State should be RUNNING, Layer Status should be NO ERROR, and that the interface is the one you configured. Using the show atm vc command should show the status as up: Use debug atm events to help identify ATM related events as they are generated. Use debug atm errors to indicate what interfaces are having trouble. Use show ip route to identify an entry for the ATM interface you configured. Use show ip route to show that an entry for the ATM slot/port you configured it:
Router# show interface atm 2/0
ATM2/0 is up, line protocol is up

Configuration Examples
Two examples are suggested for your ATM interface.
Configuring PVCs
The following example configures an ATM interface with a permenant virtual circuit (PVC) connection.
Step 1 Enter global configuration mode using the configure terminal command:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Step 2 If you have not configured the router before or want to change the current configuration, configure the global parameters, passwords, network management, and routing protocols first. In this example, IP routing and Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) routing are enabled:
Router(config)# ip routing
Router(config)# ipx routing
For more information about global configuration mode commands, enter a ? at the prompt.
Step 3 Select the ATM interface to configure by entering the interface command, followed by the interface type and the slot and port number:
Router(config)# interface atm 1/0
The prompt changes again to show that you are in interface configuration mode.
Step 4 Enable the ATM interface by changing the shutdown state to up:
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Step 5 Configure routing protocols on the interface. You enabled the interfaces as part of the global configuration in Step 2. In this example, IP and IPX are configured on the atm 1/0 interface you entered in step 3:
Router(config-if)# ip address 192.22.74.3 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)# ipx network B005
Step 6 Configure the entire path from source to destination for a PVC manually as well as any switches in the path. The command that creates a PVC has the format pvc vc-id vpi vci encap [peak-rate sustained-rate burst-size], as follows:
Router(config-if)# pvc 1 32
Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
Note Virtual channel identifier (VCI) values 0 to 31 are reserved by ITU-T and ATM Forum1 .
Step 7 Assign the appropriate map list to the interface:
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# protocol ip 192.22.74.2 broadcast
Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
Use the protocol command to map protocol addresses to the PVC. Doing this eliminates the need for map group lists for virtual circuits (VCs).
Step 8 To configure another interface, repeat Steps 3 through 7 of this procedure.
Step 9 When you finish configuring interfaces, exit configuration mode and return to the enable prompt by pressing Ctrl-Z. To see the current operating configuration, including any changes you just made, enter the show running-config command:
Router# show running-config
Step 10 To see the configuration currently stored in non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM), enter the show startup-config command at the enable prompt:
Router# show startup-config
Step 11 Changes to your configuration are evident when you compare the results of the show running-config and the show startup-config commands before you write your new configuration to NVRAM. To write your changes to NVRAM, making the changes permanent, enter the copy running-config startup-config command at the enable prompt:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Building configuration. . .
Configuring SVCs
To configures an ATM interface with a switched virtual circuit (SVC) connection:
Step 1 Enter global configuration mode using the configure terminal command:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Step 2 If you have not configured the router before or want to change the configuration, configure global parameters, passwords, network management, and routing protocols first. In this example, IP routing, and Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) routing are enabled:
Router(config)# ip routing
Router(config)# ipx routing
For more information about global configuration mode commands, enter a question mark ? at the prompt.
Step 3 Select the ATM interface to configure by entering the interface command, followed by the interface type and the slot/port number:
Router(config)# interface atm 1/0
The prompt changes again to show that you are in interface configuration mode.
Step 4 Enable the interface by changing the shutdown state to up:
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Step 5 Configure routing protocols on the interface. You enabled the interfaces as part of the global configuration in step 2. In this example, IP and IPX are configured on the atm 1/0 interface you entered in step 3:
Router(config-if)# ip address 192.22.74.3 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)# ipx network B005
Step 6 Configure the signalling PVC which the signalling software needs to dynamically set up SVCs with the switch. The signalling virtual channel uses VPI 0 and VCI 5:
Router(config-if)# pvc 1/5 qsaal
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit
Step 7 Configure an ILMI PVC.
Router(config-if)# pvc 1/16 ilmi
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit
This is required for ILMI administration.
Step 8 Configure the ATM network service access point, the end station ID (ESI) address:
Router(config-vc)# atm esi-address 345678901234.12
Step 9 Map the protocol addresses to ATM NSAP addresses, as shown in the following example:
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# protocol ip 192.22.1.2
AB.CDEF.01.234567.890A.BCDE.F012.3456.7890.1234.12 br
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# protocol ip 192.22.1.3
CD.EFAB.01.234567.890A.BCDE.F012.3456.7890.1234.12 br
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit
Step 10 Configure the entire path from source to destination for a SVC, manually as well as any switches in the path. The command that creates a SVC has the format svc [vc-id] nsap 47.0091.81.000000.0040.0B0A.2501.ABC1.3333.3333.05, as follows:
Router(config-if)# svc 1 32.0081.21.0000000.0030.0B0A.2501ABC1.2323.2323.02
Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
Step 11 To configure another interface, repeat Steps 3 through 10 of this procedure.
Step 12 When you finish configuring interfaces, exit configuration mode and return to the enable prompt by pressing Ctrl-Z. To see the current operating configuration, including any changes you just made, enter the show atm vc command:
Interface Name VPI VCI Type Encaps SC Kbps Kbps Cells Sts
2/0 5 0 5 SVC SAAL UBR 155000 UP
2/0 6 0 16 SVC ILMI UBR 155000 UP
2/0.2 1 1 100 SVC SNAP UBR+ 50000 0 UP
2/0.3 2 1 101 SVC SNAP ABR 10000 0 UP
2/0.4 3 1 102 SVC SNAP CBR 16000 UP
Step 13 To see the configuration currently stored in NVRAM, enter the show startup-config command at the enable prompt:
Step 14 Changes to your configuration are evident when you compare the results of the show running-config and the show startup-config commands before you write your new configuration to NVRAM. To write your changes to NVRAM, making the changes permanent, enter the copy running-config startup-config command at the enable prompt:
Checking the Configuration
After you have finished configuring the new ATM interface, perform the following tests to verify that the new interface is operating correctly:
•Display the router hardware configuration with the show version command. Check that the list includes the new interface.
•Display all network modules and their interfaces with the show controllers command.
•Specify an interface with the show interfaces [type slot/port] command and verify that the first line of the display shows the interface with the correct slot and port number, and that the interface and line protocol are in the correct state (up or down).
•Display the protocols configured for the entire router and for individual interfaces with the show protocols command. If necessary, return to configuration mode to add or remove protocol routing on the router or its interfaces.
•Display the running configuration with the show running-config command; display the configuration stored in NVRAM by using the show startup-config command.
•Use the ping command to send an echo request to a specified IP address. Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console; each signal that is not returned before the timeout is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points (!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the message "timed out" or "failed" indicate that the connection failed.
If an interface is down and you configured it as up, or if the displays indicate that the hardware is not functioning properly, make sure that the new interface is properly connected and configured. If you still have problems, refer to the next section, "Cisco Connection Online."

atm oversubscribe
To manage bandwidth for service categories other than constant bit rate (CBR), enable the atm overscribe command on a per-ATM-interface basis. To disable bandwidth management, use the no form of the command.
atm oversubscribe
[no] atm oversubscribe
Syntax Description
There are no optional keywords for this command.
Default
The default is to allow as much bandwidth as possible with no upper limits. The no form of the atm overscribe command enables bandwidth management on any ATM interface you specify.
Command Mode
Global configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3)T for the Cisco 3600 series routers.
When you type the enabling command (the no version), a check determines if the ATM link is already oversubscribed. If so, the command is rejected. Otherwise, the total bandwidth available on the link is recorded and all future connection setup requests are monitored to ensure that the link is not oversubscribed.
The bandwidth allocated for each service category is displayed in the output of the show atm interface atm command.
The ATM bandwidth manager keeps track of bandwidth used by VCs on a per-interface basis. Because many services require guaranteed bandwidth (for VBR-RT, ABR, CBR, for instance), bandwidth management is required. The purpose of the bandwidth manager is to reserve resources for connections that require guaranteed services. Bandwidth management for CBR is turned on automatically for all interfaces supporting CBR. Bandwidth management for other service categories must be turned on by the user. All service categories outside CBR is monitored only if specifically requested.
Note Since UBR does not provide any guarantees, bandwidth specified for aUBR connection is not used in any calculations.
In all cases, bandwidth check for a PVC is done when the PVC is configured. Bandwidth check for a SVC is done when a signaling call is placed or received.
When you specify the atm pvp command, the system checks if the specified bandwidth is available on the interface. If the bnadwidth available is greater than or equal to the peak rate specified for the PVP, the command is accepted, otherwise the command is rejected.
Within the VC mode the steps taken to check for bandwidth available are to ascertain if the bandwidth is already used by the VC to fulfill the request. If the VC being configured is a PVC and belongs to a PVP, the bandwidth available on the PVP is used for the check; otherwise the bandwidth available on the interface is used for the check.
When configuring services within a VC class, the steps taken are to check if the new bandwidth requirement can be fulfilled for all VCs using the class (on a per-interface basis), by comparing with the bandwidth available on the corresponding interface.
Bandwidth checking for an SVC occurrs before a SETUP message is sent for an outbound call. If the bandwidth check fails, the SETUP message is not sent. If the bandwidth check passes, the traffic class from which the service category is inherited, is updated with the requirements for the new SVC.
When a SVC setup is requested for remotely initiated calls, a bandwidth check occurs as soon as the SETUP message is received. This bandwidth check has two components:
1 Match the bandwidth requested by the remote end with the bandwidth configured locally
2 Check if bandwidth configured locally can be satisfied currently
If the bandwidth check fails, a RELEASE message is sent out and the call is rejected. If the bandwidth check passes, resources are reserved for the VC and the call is accepted.
Example
The following example displays the available bandwidth after you enter VC mode. Notice that the bandwidth is specified in Kbits per second.
Router# show atm interface atm 2/0
AAL enabled: AAL5 , Maximum VCs:1024, Current VCCs:5
