NRP-2 Overview

The node route processor 2 (NRP-2) for the Cisco 6400 platform allows aggregation and termination of large numbers of broadband subscribers while supporting Layer 3 and integrated high-touch services such as authentication, policy routing, and Network Address Translation (NAT). The Cisco 6400 receives subscribers over OC-3, OC-12, or DS-3 interfaces on node line cards (NLCs). The node switch processor (NSP) switches incoming virtual circuits (VCs) or virtual paths (VPs) to the appropriate NRP-2. The NRP-2 aggregates and terminates the incoming virtual circuits (VCs), offering extended services based on user and service profiles through the Service Selection Gateway (SSG).

Benefits

Increased Session Scalability

The NRP-2 increases the session capacity of the Cisco 6400, providing a dramatic reduction in cost per subscriber. See the release notes for the number of sessions supported by your software release.

Increased Bandwidth

The NRP-2 supports a 622-Mbps ATM interface to the backplane and a Gigabit Ethernet (GE) packet interface on the faceplate.


Note The GE interface is not supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4)DC.


Dual Processors

The NRP-2 hardware includes two processor subsystems. In Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4)DC, only one of the processors is used. In later software releases, the second processor will be used to provide increased session scalability.

Integrated System Management

Configuration storage, console traffic, and network management traffic are now controlled by the existing NSP, providing a more manageable and integrated platform. You can use a single console port on the NSP to access the console lines of all NRP-2s in the Cisco 6400 chassis, and use a single management Ethernet interface on the NSP to monitor all NRP-2s in the system.

Modular Design

The modular nature of the NRP-2 allows you to upgrade as your subscriber base grows. As the demand for services rises, you can add NRP-2 modules to the Cisco 6400 to provide increased session and bandwidth support.

Backward Compatibility

The NRP-2 can be deployed in a Cisco 6400 chassis with existing modules, including the node route processor 1 (NRP-1). This enables you to increase your network capacity without replacing the chassis.


Note In redundant configurations, NRPs must be paired with NRPs of the same type (NRP-1 with NRP-1, NRP-2 with NRP-2).



Note As of Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4)DC, the NRP-2 does not support EHSA redundancy. For later software releases, check the release notes for possible redundancy support and related caveats.

Management Through the NSP

The NRP-2 is designed for tighter integration with the node switch processor (NSP) of the Cisco 6400. The NSP provides the following functions for the NRP-2:

Image and File Storage

System Logging

Console and Telnet Access

SNMPv3 Proxy Forwarder

Image and File Storage

The NRP-2 has no local image or file storage. The NSP stores the following NRP-2 files on the PCMCIA disk:

NRP-2 images

NRP-2 system configuration files

NRP-2 ROM state information

Crash information


Note The PCMCIA disk must be in NSP disk slot 0.


Whenever the NSP reloads, the NSP checks for the following directories on the PCMCIA disk. The NSP automatically creates any missing directories upon reload or PCMCIA disk insertion:

images—one directory for storing NRP-2 images.

slot1, slot2,..., slot8—eight directories for storing files for specific NRP-2 slots. Each slot directory contains:

Startup configuration file (nrp2-startup-config)

ROMMON variables (nrp2_rommon_nv.0)

Private network configuration (nrp2-private-config)

Crash information (crashinfo_yyyymmdd-hhmmss)


Note Do not remove the image and slot directories. Also, make sure that you understand the consequences before you delete any files in these directories.


You can create additional directories on the PCMCIA disk with the mkdir command. See "Cisco IOS File Management" in the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide for details.

System Logging

By default, each system log message created by the NRP-2 appears on the NSP as a local message, and the message is labeled with the slot number of the NRP-2 that created the message. Each system log message also appears on the NRP-2 console.

For more information on using system logging, see the "Using Console and System Logging (Optional)" section.

Console and Telnet Access

The NSP has been equipped with an internal communication server to access the NRP-2 console line. The NSP also has alias commands for telnetting to the NRP-2. For more information, see the "Methods Available for Accessing the NRP-2" section.

SNMPv3 Proxy Forwarder

The NSP and NRP-2 support SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. The NSP uses the SNMPv3 Proxy Forwarder feature to:

Route the SNMPv3 messages destined for NRP-2

Forward NRP-2 traps to the Network Element Manager

For general information on using SNMP, see "Configuring Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)" in the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.  For information on the Proxy Forwarder feature, see the "Using the NSP as the SNMPv3 Proxy Forwarder (Optional)" section.

Restrictions and Limitations

For a complete list of restrictions and limitations, see the release notes for the software version running on your NRP-2. The release notes also include a list of hardware and software feature differences between the NRP-1 and NRP-2.

This section describes the following limitations:

Maximum Transmission Unit

VPI and VCI Limitations

Maximum Transmission Unit

The maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the NRP-2 ATM interface to the backplane is 1900 bytes. Any incoming packet larger than 1900 bytes is dropped by the NRP-2. To make sure that no incoming packets are larger than the NRP-2 MTU, see the "Matching the MTU Size of the NRP-2 and Its Network Neighbors (Optional)" section.

VPI and VCI Limitations

VPI and VCI values on the NRP-2 must share 14 bits. By default, VPI values are limited to 4 bits (0-15), and VCI values are limited to 10 bits (0-1023). You can change the VPI and VCI ranges, but together the VPI and VCI values cannot exceed 14 bits. To change the allowed VPI and VCI values, see the "Modifying VPI and VCI Ranges (Optional)" section.

Configuration Tasks

See the following sections for NRP-2 configuration tasks. Each task in the list indicates if it is optional or required:

Configuring the NSP to Support the NRP-2 (Required)

Reloading the NRP-2 (Optional)

Transferring an NRP-1 Configuration to an NRP-2 (Optional)

Configuring the NRP-2 (Required)

Matching the MTU Size of the NRP-2 and Its Network Neighbors (Optional)

Using the NSP as the SNMPv3 Proxy Forwarder (Optional)

Manual Disk Mirroring for Limited NSP Redundancy (Optional)

Modifying VPI and VCI Ranges (Optional)

Using Console and System Logging (Optional)

Configuring the NSP to Support the NRP-2 (Required)

See the following sections for NSP configuration tasks for supporting NRP-2. Each task in the list indicates if the task is optional or required:

Configuring NRP-2 Image Management on the NSP (Required)

Changing the NRP-2 Configuration Register Setting (Optional)

Configuring NRP-2 Image Management on the NSP (Required)

The NSP controls and manages the NRP-2 image download process. Cisco recommends that you store all NRP-2 images on the NSP PCMCIA disk, but you can also store NRP-2 images on a TFTP, FTP, or rcp server.

For each NRP-2 in your Cisco 6400 system, enter the following command on the NSP in global configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

Switch(config)# hw-module slot slot image image priority priority

Assigns an image filename and path to the specified NRP-2 processor in the selected slot. Priority range is from 1 (highest) to 4 (lowest).


Without the hw-module (image) command in the NSP configuration, the NRP-2 attempts to load the default image (c6400r2sp-g4p5-mz) from the disk0:/images/ directory.


Timesaver If you do not use all the priority values for NRP-2 images, leave priority 1 free for new or temporary images. Otherwise, you will have to adjust the priority levels of the other images for your NRP-2 to accommodate the new image.


Example

In the following example, the NRP-2 in slot 2 of the Cisco 6400 chassis has three images assigned with different priorities, while the NRP-2 in slot 3 has only one image assigned:

hw-module slot 2 image c6400r2sp-g4p5-mz.DC priority 2
hw-module slot 2 image tftp://10.1.1.1/c6400r2sp-g4p5-mz.DC priority 3
hw-module slot 2 image disk0:MyDir/c6400r2sp-g4p5-mz.DC priority 4

hw-module slot 3 image c6400r2sp-g4p5-mz.DC priority 2

Changing the NRP-2 Configuration Register Setting (Optional)

The configuration register defaults to the correct setting for normal operation. You should not change this setting unless you want to enable the break sequence or switch ROMMON devices.

To change the NRP-2 configuration register setting, enter the following command in global configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

Switch(config)# hw-module slot slot config-register value1

Changes the configuration register setting of the NRP-2 in the specified slot.

1 For specific configuration register values, see the command reference for hw-module.


Example

In the following example, an NRP-2 in slot 3 is set to boot to ROMMON, where ROMMON runs from the image found in BootFROM1. If you enter the boot ROMMON command, the NRP-2 loads the specified image from the disk0:/images/ directory.

hw-module slot 3 config-register 0x2100
hw-module slot 3 image c6400r2sp-g4p5-mz.DC priority 2

Reloading the NRP-2 (Optional)

Use one of the following commands to reload the NRP-2:

Command
Entered On
Purpose

Switch# hw-module slot slot reset

NSP

Simulates removal and insertion of the NRP-2 in the selected slot. The NRP-2 reloads.

Router# reload

NRP-2

Reloads the NRP-2.



Note While booting the NRP-2, do not attempt to remove or format the PCMCIA disk in Slot 0 of the NSP. Also, do not remove files or directories on the NSP PCMCIA disk while booting the NRP-2.


Transferring an NRP-1 Configuration to an NRP-2 (Optional)

This section describes how to properly transfer an existing NRP-1 configuration to an NRP-2. Complete the following steps:


Step 1 Copy the existing NRP-1 configuration to a location where you can edit the file:

Router# copy flash:my.cfg tftp://10.1.1.1/my.cfg

Step 2 Edit the configuration file so that all VPI and VCI values are accepted by the NRP-2 default ranges (VPI range is 0-15, and VCI range is 0-1023).

Step 3 Remove the NRP-1 from the Cisco 6400 chassis, and replace it with the NRP-2.

Step 4 From the NSP, clear the alarm for the slot disturbed in Step 3:

Switch# clear facility-alarm cardtype 4

Step 5 From the NSP, copy the configuration to the appropriate slot directory in the PCMCIA disk in NSP disk slot 0. Make sure that the filename is "nrp2-startup-config."

Switch# copy tftp://10.1.1.1/my.cfg disk0:/slot4/nrp2-startup-config

Step 6 From the NSP, reload the NRP-2:

Switch# hw-module slot 4 reset


Configuring the NRP-2 (Required)

Once you access the NRP-2 command line interface, you can configure the NRP-2 exactly as you would configure an NRP-1. See the following section, "Methods Available for Accessing the NRP-2," to access the NRP-2 command line interface.


Note For a complete list of hardware and software feature differences between the NRP-1 and NRP-2, see the release notes for the software version running on your NRP-2.


Methods Available for Accessing the NRP-2

There are two methods available for accessing the NRP-2:

Accessing the NRP-2 Console Through the NSP

Telnetting to the NRP-2 from the NSP

Accessing the NRP-2 Console Through the NSP

The NSP is equipped with an internal communication server for accessing the NRP-2 console line. To access the NRP-2 console line, telnet to the NSP as a communication server, using the port numbers shown in Table 2 to select the NRP-2.

To exit the NRP-2 console line without closing the console connection, use the escape sequence Ctrl-Shift-6. To close the NRP-2 console line connection, use the exit command.

Example

Suppose the NSP in your Cisco 6400 system has the management IP address 10.1.5.4. To access the console line of the NRP-2 in Slot 6 of the same Cisco 6400 chassis, use the telnet command:

device# telnet 10.1.5.4 2006
Trying 10.1.5.4, 2006 ... Open

NRP-2#

To return to the device prompt without closing the NRP-2 console line connection, enter the escape sequence Ctrl-Shift-6 at the NRP-2 prompt. Notice that the escape sequence does not appear as you enter it in the command-line interface (CLI):

NRP-2# Ctrl^
device#

To return to the connected NRP-2 console line, enter a blank line at the device prompt:

device#
[Resuming connection 1 to 10.1.5.4 ... ]

NRP-2#

To close the NRP-2 console line connection, use the escape sequence to return to the device prompt, and then use the exit command.

NRP-2# Ctrl^
device# exit  
  (You have open connections) [confirm]
Closing:10.1.5.4 ! 



device con0 is now available





Press RETURN to get started.





device>

Telnetting to the NRP-2 from the NSP

The NSP is equipped with command aliases for telnetting to the NRP-2s in the same Cisco 6400 chassis. To telnet to the NRP-2, use the following NSP command alias in EXEC mode:

Command
Purpose

Switch# nrpsslot

Telnets to the NRP-2 in the specified slot.



Note You need to set the VTY line password before you can telnet to the NRP-2.


To exit the NRP-2 VTY line without closing the Telnet session, use the escape sequence Ctrl-Shift-6. To close the NRP-2 Telnet session, use the exit command.

Example

Suppose you want to telnet to the NRP-2 from a device outside your Cisco 6400 system, and the NSP in the Cisco 6400 has the management IP address 10.1.5.4.

To telnet to the NRP-2, telnet first to the NSP, and then use the nrps command alias to telnet to the NRP-2:

device# telnet 10.1.5.4
Trying 10.1.5.4 ... Open


User Access Verification

Password:
NSP>
NSP> nrps6
Trying 10.6.0.2 ... Open

NRP-2>

To exit the NRP-2 prompt without closing the NRP-2 Telnet session, use escape sequence Ctrl-Shift-6 at the NRP-2 prompt. Notice that the escape sequence does not appear as you enter it in the command-line interface (CLI):

NRP-2> Ctrl^
device#

The escape sequence returns the prompt to the original Telnet device, instead of the NSP. To return to the NRP-2 Telnet session, enter a blank line at the device prompt:

device#
[Resuming connection 1 to 10.1.5.4 ... ]

NRP-2>

To close the Telnet session to the NRP-2 and return to the NSP prompt, use the exit command.

NRP-2> exit

[Connection to 10.6.0.2 closed by foreign host]
NSP>

Matching the MTU Size of the NRP-2 and Its Network Neighbors (Optional)

The NRP-2 ATM interface to the backplane supports a maximum packet size, or maximum transmission unit (MTU), of 1900 bytes. The ATM interface drops any incoming packet larger than 1900 bytes. To prevent packets from being dropped, make sure that the MTU sizes match for both ends of VCs.

Displaying the MTU for the Main ATM Interface

To check the current MTU size on the NRP-2 ATM main interface, use the show interface atm 0/0/0 EXEC command, which displays the following fields:

"MTU"—largest MTU setting among all subinterfaces and the main ATM interface

"sub MTU"—MTU setting on the main ATM interface

Example—Main ATM Interface

NRP-2# show interface atm 0/0/0
...
  MTU 1870 bytes, sub MTU 1850, BW 599040 Kbit, DLY 60 usec, 
...

Displaying the MTU for a Subinterface

To display the current MTU size on the NRP-2 ATM subinterface, use the show interface atm 0/0/0.subinterface EXEC command. This command displays only one "MTU" field that represents the MTU setting for the subinterface.

Example—ATM Subinterface

NRP-2# show interface atm 0/0/0.100
...
  MTU 1870 bytes, BW 599040 Kbit, DLY 60 usec, 
...

Displaying the MTU for a Network Neighbor

To check the current MTU size on the network neighbor, use the show interface atm EXEC command for the interface used to terminate the VC from the NRP-2.

Example—Cisco 7200

7200# show interface atm 1/0
ATM1/0 is up, line protocol is up 
  Hardware is ENHANCED ATM PA
  MTU 4470 bytes, sub MTU 4470, BW 149760 Kbit, DLY 80 usec, 
...

Example—Cisco 6400 NRP-1

NRP-1# show interface atm 0/0/0
ATM0/0/0 is up, line protocol is up 
  Hardware is ATM-SAR
  MTU 4470 bytes, sub MTU 4470, BW 156250 Kbit, DLY 80 usec, 
...

Changing the MTU on the NRP-2

To adjust the MTU size on the NRP-2, complete the following steps beginning in global configuration mode:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

Router(config)# interface atm 0/0/0

Selects the ATM interface on the NRP-2.

Step 2 

Router(config-if)# mtu bytes

Specifies the maximum packet size, in bytes, for the interface. Maximum value is 1900.

Changing the MTU on a Network Neighbor

To adjust the MTU size on the network neighbor, complete the following steps beginning in global configuration mode:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

Router(config)# interface atm slot/subslot/port
[.subinterface [point-to-point | multipoint]]

Selects the interface used to terminate the VC from the NRP-2.

Step 2 

Router(config-if)# mtu bytes

Specifies the maximum packet size, in bytes, for the interface. If the interface is used to terminate PVCs from the NRP-2, do not exceed 1900.

Example

Suppose that the show interface atm 0/0/0 EXEC command displayed the MTU size of 1900 bytes on the NRP-2, and the MTU size of 4470 bytes on a neighboring NRP-1.

NRP-2# show interface atm 0/0/0
ATM0/0/0 is up, line protocol is up 
  Hardware is NRP2 ATM SAR
  MTU 1900 bytes, sub MTU 1900, BW 599040 Kbit, DLY 60 usec, 
...

NRP-1-neighbor# show interface atm 0/0/0
ATM0/0/0 is up, line protocol is up 
  Hardware is ATM-SAR
  MTU 4470 bytes, sub MTU 4470, BW 156250 Kbit, DLY 80 usec, 
...

In the following example, the network neighbor MTU size is reduced to 1900 to match the MTU size of the NRP-2.

!
interface ATM0/0/0
 mtu 1900
 no ip address
 atm vc-per-vp 2048
 no atm ilmi-keepalive
!

Verifying the MTU Size of the NRP-2 and Its Network Neighbors

To verify that the MTU size matches for the NRP-2 and its network neighbors, complete the following steps for each network neighbor:


Step 1 Use the show interface atm 0/0/0[.subinterface] EXEC command on the NRP-2 to view the NRP-2 MTU size.

Step 2 Use the show interface EXEC command on the network neighbor to view the neighbor's MTU size.

Step 3 Make sure that the MTU sizes for the NRP-2 and the network neighbor are identical.


Using the NSP as the SNMPv3 Proxy Forwarder (Optional)

The SNMPv3 Proxy Forwarder feature enables all NSP and NRP-2 components of the Cisco 6400 system to be managed as one functional entity. With the Proxy Forwarder feature enabled, the NSP:

Forwards all SNMPv3 formatted messages (such as manager requests to get or set data) destined for the NRP-2s

Routes the SNMPv3 formatted traps from NRP-2s to the NSP combined Network Management Ethernet (NME) interface

To configure the Proxy Forwarder feature, complete the following tasks:

Task 1: Configuring the NSP as the Proxy Forwarder

Task 2: Configuring the NRP-2 to Use the NSP as the Proxy Forwarder

Task 1: Configuring the NSP as the Proxy Forwarder

To enable the NSP to act as the proxy forwarder for the NRP-2s in the Cisco 6400 chassis, enter the following NSP commands, beginning in global configuration mode:

 
Command (Entered on the NSP)
Purpose

Step 1 

Switch(config)# snmp-server group groupname v3 noauth

Configures a new SNMPv3 group.

Step 2 

Switch(config)# snmp-server user username groupname v3

Configures a new user to an SNMPv3 group. Make sure that you use the same groupname in Steps 1 and 2.

Step 3 

Switch(config)# snmp-server forwarder

Enables the NSP SNMPv3 proxy forwarder.

Step 4 

Switch(config)# snmp-server host host-address
vrf 6400-private version 3 noauth
username

Specifies the recipient of NRP-2 SNMPv3 trap messages.

When you complete the previous steps, the NSP automatically generates snmp-server user and snmp-server group commands in the configuration.

Each time the NSP reloads or you insert an NRP-2 into the chassis, the NSP automatically generates snmp-server engineID commands in the configuration.


Note Do not modify or delete the automatically generated commands, because doing so may prevent SNMP from working properly.


Example

In the following example, the NSP is configured to act as the proxy forwarder:

snmp-server group usmgrp v3 noauth
snmp-server user usmusr usmgrp v3
snmp-server forwarder
snmp-server host 10.100.100.100 vrf 6400-private version 3 noauth trapusr

The previous commands cause the NSP to automatically generate the following commands:

snmp-server engineID remote 10.3.0.2 vrf 6400-private 80000009030000107BA9C7A0
snmp-server user trapusr trapusr v3
snmp-server user trapusr trapusr remote 10.3.0.2 vrf 6400-private v3
snmp-server user usmusr usmgrp remote 10.3.0.2 vrf 6400-private v3
snmp-server group trapusr v3 noauth notify *tv.FFFFFFFF.FFFFFFFF

Task 2: Configuring the NRP-2 to Use the NSP as the Proxy Forwarder

To configure the NRP-2 to communicate with the NSP as the proxy forwarder, complete the following steps beginning in global configuration mode:

 
Command (Entered on the NRP-2)
Purpose

Step 1 

Router(config)# snmp-server group groupname v3 noauth

Configures a new SNMPv3 group. Make sure that the groupname argument entry matches that entered on the NSP in Task 1.

Step 2 

Router(config)# snmp-server user username groupname v3

Configures a new user to an SNMPv3 group. Make sure that the username and groupname argument entries match those entered on the NSP in Task 1.

Step 3 

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps [config |
syslog | bgp | ipmulticast | rsvp | frame-relay | rtr
| snmp authentication linkdown linkup coldstart]

Enables the NRP-2 to send traps. Optionally, you can select from specific types of traps.

Step 4 

Router(config)# snmp-server host 10.nrp2-slot.0.1
vrf 6400-private version 3 noauth
username

Specifies the NSP as the recipient of SNMPv3 trap messages. The 10.nrp2-slot.0.1 IP address is the private address for the internal NSP interface to the NRP-2 PAM mailbox serial interface.

When you complete the previous steps, the NRP-2 automatically generates snmp-server user and snmp-server group commands in the configuration.

If you do not select any specific types of traps, the NRP-2 also automatically generates snmp-server enable traps commands to specify all available types of traps.


Note Do not modify or delete the automatically generated commands, because doing so may prevent SNMP from working properly.


Example

In the following example, the NRP-2 is configured to allow the NSP to act as the proxy forwarder:

snmp-server group usmgrp v3 noauth
snmp-server user usmusr usmgrp v3
snmp-server enable traps
snmp-server host 10.3.0.1 vrf 6400-private version 3 noauth trapusr

The previous commands cause the NRP-2 to automatically generate the following commands:

snmp-server user trapusr trapusr v3
snmp-server group trapusr v3 noauth notify *tv.FFFFFFFF.FFFFFFFF
snmp-server enable traps snmp authentication linkdown linkup coldstart
snmp-server enable traps config
snmp-server enable traps syslog
snmp-server enable traps bgp
snmp-server enable traps ipmulticast
snmp-server enable traps rsvp
snmp-server enable traps frame-relay
snmp-server enable traps rtr

Verifying the SNMPv3 Proxy Forwarder

To verify successful configuration of the SNMPv3 proxy forwarder feature, use the more system:running-config EXEC command. On both the NSP and NRP-2, check that you properly configured the commands described in the previous tasks.

Also check that the automatically generated commands correctly appear on both the NSP and NRP-2 running configurations. On the NSP, the three automatically generated commands that include an IP address are generated for every active NRP-2 in the chassis. The other automatically generated commands are created only once, regardless of the number of active NRP-2s installed in the chassis.

Manual Disk Mirroring for Limited NSP Redundancy (Optional)

NSP Redundancy is limited in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4)DB, because automatic disk mirroring of the PCMCIA disk in the NSP is not available in that release, and the NRP-2 relies on the NSP PCMCIA disk for file storage.

To perform manual disk mirroring, complete the following steps from the primary NSP: 


Step 1 To locate and identify all the directories and files on the PCMCIA disk in the primary NSP disk slot 0, use the dir EXEC command:

Switch# dir
Directory of disk0:/

3296  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:40  images
3297  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:42  slot1
3298  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:42  slot2
3299  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:42  slot3
3300  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:42  slot4
3301  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:42  slot5
3302  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:42  slot6
3303  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:42  slot7
3304  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:42  slot8

20819968 bytes total (20434944 bytes free)
Switch#

Step 2 To locate and identify all the directories and files on the PCMCIA disk in the secondary NSP disk slot 0, use the dir EXEC command:

Switch# dir sec-disk0:
Directory of sec-disk0:/

3296  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:40  images
3297  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:42  slot1
3298  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:42  slot2
3299  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:42  slot3
3300  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:42  slot4
3301  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:42  slot5
3302  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:42  slot6
3303  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:42  slot7
3304  drw-           0   Aug 08 2000 21:20:42  slot8

20819968 bytes total (20434944 bytes free)
Switch#

Step 3 To mirror the nine images and slot directories, complete one of the following steps:

a. If the secondary NSP's PCMCIA disk 0 is empty or contains data that you can delete, use the format EXEC command to format the disk and automatically create the nine images and slot directories:

Switch# format sec-disk0:

b. If you do not want to delete all the data on the secondary NSP's PCMCIA disk 0, make sure that the number of bytes free displayed in Step 2 is large enough to accommodate the images and files from the primary NSP. Use the mkdir EXEC command to create the nine directories on the secondary NSP's PCMCIA disk 0:

Switch# mkdir sec-disk0/images/
Switch# mkdir sec-disk0/slot1/
Switch# mkdir sec-disk0/slot2/
...
Switch# mkdir sec-disk0/slot8/

Step 4 To copy each file from the primary NSP PCMCIA disk to the secondary NSP PCMCIA disk, use the copy EXEC command:

Switch# copy disk0:/images/c6400r2sp-g4p5-mz.DC sec-disk0:/images/c6400r2sp-g4p5-mz.DC
Switch# copy disk0:/slot7/nrp2-startup-config sec-disk0:/slot7/nrp2-startup-config
Switch# copy disk0:/slot7/nrp2_rommon_nv.0 sec-disk0:/slot7/nrp2_rommon_nv.0



Note In Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4)DB, modifications to the data on the NSP PCMCIA disk that occur after performing manual disk mirroring are not copied automatically to the redundant NSP PCMCIA disk.


Modifying VPI and VCI Ranges (Optional)

By default, VPI values are limited to 4 bits (0-15), and VCI values are limited to 10 bits (0-1023). You can change the VPI and VCI ranges, but the VPIs and VCIs must share 14 bits.

To change the VPI and VCI ranges, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

Router(config)# interface atm 0/0/0

Selects the ATM interface on the NRP-2.

Step 2 

Router(config-if)# atm vc-per-vp number

Sets the maximum number of allowed VCIs. The number of allowed VPIs is adjusted accordingly, such that the combination of VPIs and VCIs does not exceed 14 bits. See Table 3 for the allowed entries. The default number is 1023.


Note Use of the atm vc-per-vp interface configuration command resets the ATM interface.

1 Notice that the smallest allowed number entry is 64. The next possible value would be 32 (VCI range 0 - 31), but VCI values 0 through 31 are reserved by the ATM forum for particular functions (such as ILMI).


Example

In the following example, the VCI range is set to 2048 values (0 - 2047), and the VPI range is set to 8 values (0 - 7):

!
interface ATM0/0/0
 no ip address
 atm vc-per-vp 2048
 no atm ilmi-keepalive
!

Verifying the VPI and VCI Ranges

To verify successful configuration of the VPI and VCI ranges, complete one or both of the following steps:


Step 1 Use the more system:running-config EXEC command to check for successful configuration:

Router# more system:running-config
...
interface ATM0/0/0
 no ip address
 atm vc-per-vp 2048
...

Step 2 Use the show controller atm 0/0/0 privileged EXEC command:

Router# show controller atm 0/0/0
...

*** SE64 General Data ***

  SE64_MAX_TX_PTYPE_HOLDER = 49152
  SE64_PARTICLE_POOL       = 32255

Using Console and System Logging (Optional)

By default, each system log message created by the NRP-2 appears on the NSP as a local message, and the message is labeled with the slot number of the NRP-2 that created the message. Each system log message also appears on the NRP-2 console.

To control console and system logging, use the following commands:

Command
Entered On
Purpose

Router(config)# logging rate-limit rate

NRP-2

Limits the number of messages logged per second. Cisco recommends setting the rate limit to 25 messages per second.

Router(config)# logging buffered size

NRP-2

Expands logging buffer size.

Router# show logging

NRP-2

Shows the contents of logging buffers.

Router# no logging

NRP-2

Stops NRP-2 system log messages from showing up on the NSP.

Switch# no logging console

NSP

Stops NRP-2 system log messages from showing up on the NSP.


For more information on system and console logging, see the "Redirecting Debug and Error Message Output" section of the "Using Debug Commands"  chapter of the Cisco IOS Debug Command Reference, Release 12.1

This command was introduced on the Cisco 6400 NRP-2.


Usage Guidelines

The show se64 command is used for debugging and troubleshooting the NRP-2 ATM SAR.

The output of the show se64 vc-stats command is divided into five categories:

General—Displays general statistics of the NRP-2 ATM SAR driver operation.

RX Path—Displays statistics for the input and loss path of received packets through the NRP-2 ATM SAR driver, for the specified VC.

RX General—Displays counters for the cells and packets received on the specified VC.

TX Path—Displays statistics for the output and loss path of transmitted packets through the NRP-2 ATM SAR driver, for the specified VC.

TX General—Displays counters for actions taken by the NRP-2 ATM SAR driver to successfully transmit certain packet types.


Note The RX Path and TX Path output do not account for packets lost by the Cisco IOS.


Each shaper number can be mapped to one or more VCDs. The VCDs mapped to the selected shaper appears at the end of the show se64 shaper command output:

NRP-2# show se64 shaper 0
Shaper Number 0
pcr_kb 1000, pcr_cr 2271, pcr_count 24218
scr_kb 50, scr_cr 113, scr_count 4843600
mbs 10, mbs count 10
skip count 190, scr_inc 1023
VC on the shaper:
00002 

To determine the VCD number to use in the show se64 vcd command, use the show atm pvc privileged EXEC command:

NRP-2# show atm pvc
            VCD /                                      Peak  Avg/Min Burst
Interface   Name       VPI   VCI  Type   Encaps   SC   Kbps   Kbps   Cells  Sts
0/0/0.100  1            0   300   PVC    SNAP     UBR   10000                UP
0/0/0.200  2            0   400   PVC    SNAP     VBR    1000     50   10    UP

...

If the VCD is displayed as a name instead of a number for the PVC of interest, use the show atm pvc name privileged EXEC command to determine the VCD number:

NRP-2# show atm pvc foobe
ATM0/0/0.300:VCD:3, VPI:0, VCI:500, Connection Name:foobe
UBR, PeakRate:599040
AAL5-LLC/SNAP, etype:0x0, Flags:0xC20, VCmode:0x0

Hexadecimal or decimal value that represents the 16-bit configuration register value that you want to use the next time the router is restarted. The value range is from 0x0000 to 0xFFFF (0 to 65,535 in decimal).

Specific bit values:

0x2101—Default configuration register setting. Combines the behaviors of the 0x2000, 0x0100, and 0x0001 bit values.

0x2000—If set (as it is by default), ROMMON runs from the image found in BootFROM1, if valid. If clear, ROMMON always runs the ROMMOM image in BootFROM0.

0x0100—Break or abort has no effect.

0x0001—NRP-2 boots the image specified with the hw-module (image) command.

0x0000—NRP-2 boots to ROMMON.

11.2 GS

This command was introduced.

11.3(6)AA

This command was first supported on the Cisco AS5800.

12.0(1)DB

This command was first supported on the Cisco 6400 NSP.

12.0(9)SL

This command was first supported on the Cisco 10000 Edge Services Router (ESR).

12.0(1a)W5(5b)

This command was first supported on the Catalyst 8540 Multiservice ATM Switch Router (MSR), Catalyst 8510 MSR, and LightStream 1010 ATM switch router.

12.1(4)DB

The image and config-register versions of this command were introduced on the Cisco 6400 NSP to support the NRP-2.


Usage Guidelines

hw-module (image)

Enter at least one instance of this command for each NRP-2 in the Cisco 6400 system. Without the command in the NSP configuration, the NRP-2 attempts to load the default image (c6400r2sp-g4p5-mz) from the NSP disk0:/images/ directory. If the image cannot be located, the NRP-2 is not able to boot.

Cisco recommends that you store all NRP-2 images on the NSP PCMCIA "disk0:/images" directory, but you can also store NRP-2 images on any integrated file system (IFS) device, including disk1 and TFTP, FTP, or rcp servers.

For images in the disk0:/images directory, you can use a shortened no version of the command to remove an NRP-2 image specification: no hw-module filename.

The hw-module (image) command performs the same function for the NRP-2 as the boot system global configuration command does for the NRP-1. Because NRP-2 boot information is stored on the NSP, the hw-module (image) command is entered on the NSP.


Note The boot system global configuration command is not supported on the NRP-2.


hw-module (config-register)

This command enables you to change the NRP-2 configuration register settings.

The hw-module (config-register) command performs the same function for the NRP-2 as the config register global configuration and confreg ROMMON mode commands do for the NRP-1. Because the NRP-2 ROM state information is stored on the NSP, the hw-module (config-register) command is entered on the NSP.


Note The config register global configuration and confreg ROMMON mode commands are not supported on the NRP-2.


hw-module (reset)

This is the only version of the hw-module command that can be entered in EXEC mode. It can be used to reload the specified device from the NSP.

hw-module (shutdown)

This command keeps the selected card offline, even through system reloads.

Examples

hw-module (image)

In the following example, the NRP-2 in slot 2 of the Cisco 6400 chassis has three images assigned with different priorities, while the NRP-2 in slot 3 has only one image assigned:

Switch(config)# hw-module slot 2 image c6400r2sp-g4p5-mz.DC priority 2
Switch(config)# hw-module slot 2 image tftp://10.1.1.1/c6400r2sp-g4p5-mz.DC priority 3
Switch(config)# hw-module slot 2 image disk0:MyDir/c6400r2sp-g4p5-mz.DC priority 4
Switch(config)# hw-module slot 3 image c6400r2sp-g4p5-mz.DC priority 2

Timesaver If you don't use all the priority values for NRP-2 images, consider leaving priority 1 free for new or temporary images.


hw-module (config-register)

In the following example, the configuration register setting causes the NRP-2 in slot 4 to boot only to ROMMON mode:

Switch(config)# hw-module slot 4 config-register 0x0

In the following example, the configuration register setting causes the NRP-2 in slot 2 to boot the image specified with the hw-module (image) command:

Switch(config)# hw-module slot 2 config-register 0x1

hw-module (reset)

In the following example, the device in slot 5 is reset:

Switch# hw-module slot 5 reset
*Sep 28 22:30:56.590:%NSP_OIR-6-FULL_CREM:Card NRP2 removed from slot:5
*Sep 28 22:30:58.510:%NSP_OIR-6-FULL_CINS:Card NRP2 inserted into slot:5
*Sep 28 22:30:58.510:%NSP_OIR-6-FULL_ONLINE:Card NRP2, slot:5, being brought online

In the following example, the NSP in slot 0A is reset:

Switch# hw-module nsp A reset

hw-module (shutdown)

In the following example, the device in slot 4 is shutdown:

Switch(config)# hw-module slot 4 shutdown

nrps

To telnet from the NSP to the NRP-2, use the nrps EXEC command alias.

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(4)DB

This command was introduced on the Cisco 6400 NSP to support the NRP-2.


Usage Guidelines

The SNMPv3 Proxy Forwarder feature enables all NSP and NRP-2 components of the Cisco 6400 system to be managed as one functional entity. With the Proxy Forwarder feature enabled, the NSP:

Forwards all SNMPv3 formatted messages (such as manager requests to get or set data) destined for the NRP-2s

Routes the SNMPv3 formatted traps from NRP-2s to the NSP combined Network Management Ethernet (NME) interface

When the NSP and NRP-2 are properly configured for SNMPv3 and the Proxy Forwarder feature, both the NSP and NRP-2 automatically generate a series of SNMP commands. Do not modify or delete the automatically generated commands, because doing so may prevent SNMP from working properly.

Examples

In the following example, the NSP is configured to act as the proxy forwarder:

snmp-server group usmgrp v3 noauth
snmp-server user usmusr usmgrp v3
snmp-server forwarder
snmp-server host 10.100.100.100 vrf 6400-private version 3 noauth trapusr

The previous commands cause the NSP to automatically generate the following commands:

snmp-server engineID remote 10.3.0.2 vrf 6400-private 80000009030000107BA9C7A0
snmp-server user trapusr trapusr v3
snmp-server user trapusr trapusr remote 10.3.0.2 vrf 6400-private v3
snmp-server user usmusr usmgrp remote 10.3.0.2 vrf 6400-private v3
snmp-server group trapusr v3 noauth notify *tv.FFFFFFFF.FFFFFFFF

In the following example, the NRP-2 is configured to allow the NSP to act as the proxy forwarder:

snmp-server group usmgrp v3 noauth
snmp-server user usmusr usmgrp v3
snmp-server enable traps
snmp-server host 10.3.0.1 vrf 6400-private version 3 noauth trapusr

The previous commands cause the NRP-2 to automatically generate the following commands:

snmp-server user trapusr trapusr v3
snmp-server group trapusr v3 noauth notify *tv.FFFFFFFF.FFFFFFFF
snmp-server enable traps snmp authentication linkdown linkup coldstart
snmp-server enable traps config
snmp-server enable traps syslog
snmp-server enable traps bgp
snmp-server enable traps ipmulticast
snmp-server enable traps rsvp
snmp-server enable traps frame-relay
snmp-server enable traps rtr

Glossary

ABR—available bit rate. QoS class defined by the ATM Forum for ATM networks. ABR is used for connections that do not require timing relationships between source and destination. ABR provides no guarantees in terms of cell loss or delay, providing only best-effort service. Traffic sources adjust their transmission rate in response to information they receive describing the status of the network and its capability to successfully deliver data. Compare with CBR, UBR, and VBR.

BPE—Backplane Ethernet.

CBR—constant bit rate. QoS class defined by the ATM Forum for ATM networks. CBR is used for connections that depend on precise clocking to ensure undistorted delivery. Compare with ABR, UBR, and VBR.

CRC—cyclic redundancy check. Error-checking technique in which the frame recipient calculates a remainder by dividing frame contents by a prime binary divisor and compares the calculated remainder to a value stored in the frame by the sending node.

FTP—File Transfer Protocol. Application protocol, part of the TCP/IP protocol stack, used for transferring files between network nodes. FTP is defined in RFC 959.

GBIC—gigabit interface converter.

GCRA—generic cell rate algorithm. In ATM, an algorithm that defines conformance with respect to the traffic contract of the connection. For each cell arrival, the GCRA determines whether the cell conforms to the traffic contract.

GE—gigabit Ethernet.

IFS—integrated file system, such as TFTP, FTP, or rcp servers.

MBS—maximum burst size. In an ATM signaling message, burst tolerance is conveyed through the MBS, which is coded as a number of cells. The burst tolerance together with the SCR and the GCRA determine the MBS that can be transmitted at the peak rate and still be in conformance with the GCRA. See also SCP and GCRA.

MTU—maximum transmission unit. Maximum packet size, in bytes, that a particular interface can handle.

NME—network management Ethernet. The local area network used to control and manage equipment in a Central Office and branch locations. The NME connection on the Cisco 6400 is an RJ-45 connector for a 10BaseT port on the NSP module.

NRP—node route processor. One of the component modules used in the Cisco 6400. This module is the Layer 3 element for the Cisco 6400 responsible for implementing the routing function.

NRP-1—Node route processor that incorporates a 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet interface for connecting into an IP network and has processing capability for OC-3 rate of user traffic. Compare with NRP-2.

NRP-2—Node route processor that provides a Gigabit Ethernet interface and sufficient processing capability for handling OC-12 rate of user traffic. Compare with NRP-1.

NSP—node switch processor. Node switch processor. One of the component modules used in the Cisco 6400. This module is responsible for all ATM switching and control functions within the Cisco 6400.

OC—Optical carrier. A series of physical protocols (OC-3, OC-12, and so on), defined for SONET optical signal transmissions.

PAM mailbox serial interface—Backplane interface that connects the NSP and the NRP-2. Used for internal communication only, the PAM mailbox serial interface is not intended to carry user data.

PCMCIA—Personal Computer Memory Card International Association. Refers to a standard used for credit-card sized computer peripherals. Type I devices are very thin memory cards: Type 2 devices include most modems and interfaces; and Type 3 devices are used for disk drives and thicker components.

PCR—peak cell rate. Parameter defined by the ATM Forum for ATM traffic management. In CBR transmissions, PCR determines how often data samples are sent. In ABR transmissions, PCR determines the maximum value of the ACR.

QoS—quality of service. Measure of performance for a transmission system that reflects its transmission quality and service availability.

rcp—remote copy protocol. Protocol that allows users to copy files to and from a file system residing on a remote host or server on the network. The rcp protocol uses TCP to ensure the reliable delivery of data.

ROMMON—ROM Monitor.

SAR—segmentation and reassembly.

SCR—Parameter defined by the ATM Forum for ATM traffic management. For VBR connections, SCR determines the long-term average cell rate that can be transmitted. See also VBR.

SNMP—Simple Network Management Protocol. Network management protocol used almost exclusively in TCP/IP networks. SNMP provides a means to monitor and control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistics collection, performance, and security.

TFTP—Trivial File Transfer Protocol. Simplified version of FTP that allows files to be transferred from one computer to another over a network.

UBR—unspecified bit rate. QoS class defined by the ATM Forum for ATM networks. UBR allows any amount of data up to a specified maximum to be sent across the network, but there are no guarantees in terms of cell loss rate and delay. Compare with ABR, CBR, and VBR.

VBR—variable bit rate. QoS class defined by the ATM Forum for ATM networks. VBR is subdivided into a real time (RT) class and non-real time (NRT) class. VBR-RT is used for connections in which there is a fixed timing relationship between samples. VBR-NRT is used for connections in which there is no fixed timing relationship between samples, but that still need a guaranteed QoS. Compare with ABR, CBR, and UBR.

VCD—virtual circuit descriptor. When you create a PVC, you create a VCD and attach it to the VPI and VCI. A VCD identifies which VPI/VCI to use for a particular packet. The number chosen for the VCD is independent of the VPI/VCI used.
