Feature Overview
The OC-12c Dynamic Packet Transport (DPT) Interface Processor is available on Cisco 7500 series routers. The DPT is an OC-12c interface that uses second-generation Versatile Interface Processor (VIP2) technology to provide a shared IP-over-SONET capability and it complies with IEEE 802.3 specifications for multicast and broadcast media. The DPTIP assembly consists of a VIP2 with a dual-width DPT interface processor permanently attached to it.

Configuring Intelligent Protection Switching
The SRP interface uses ring architecture to provide redundancy and protection from a failed node or a fiber cut by using the Intelligent Protection Switching (IPS). The tasks described in this section are optional.
Verifying Intelligent Protection Switching
Use the show srp command to determine whether an intelligent protection switch is enabled or idle:
Router# show srp ips srp 2/0/0IPS Information for Interface SRP2/0/0MAC AddressesSide A (Outer ring RX) neighbor 0000.0000.0002Side B (Inner ring RX) neighbor 0000.0000.0001Node MAC address 0000.0000.0004IPS StateSide A not wrappedSide B not wrappedSide A (Inner ring TX) IPS pkt. sent every 1 sec.

Every node on a DPT ring maintains a topology map of the ring, so that it knows where to route traffic. It updates the topology map by periodically sending a query, called a topology discovery packet, out onto the outer-ring path. Each node on the ring adds its own MAC address to the packet. When the discovery packet returns to the originating node, the contents of the packet are used to update the topology map. You use the srp topology-timer command to set the frequency with which the node sends out topology discovery packets.
Verifying DPT Topology
Enter the show srp topology command to confirm the identity of the nodes on the ring. The command output also shows the number of hops between nodes and identifies the nodes that are in wrap mode:
Use the show srp topology command to show the identity of the nodes on the DPT ring according to their MAC addresses. The following example shows a three-node DPT ring.

This section documents new commands. All other commands used with this feature are documented in the Cisco IOS Release 12.1 command reference publications.
The SRP interface provides commands to enforce quality of service (QoS) functionality on the transmit side and receive side of Cisco routers. SRP uses the IP type of service (ToS) field values to determine packet priority.
On the transmit side the SRP interface classifies traffic into high- and low-priority traffic. High-priority traffic is rate shaped and has higher priority than low-priority traffic. The user has the option to configure high- or low-priority traffic and can rate limit the high-priority traffic.
srp buffer-size
To make adjustments to buffer settings on the receive side for different priority traffic, use the srp buffer-size interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable buffer size configurations.
srp buffer-size receive [high | medium]
no srp buffer-size receive [high | medium]
Syntax Description
receive
Allocates synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) buffer for incoming packets.
high | medium
Buffer size for high- or medium-priority packets. Any number from 16 to 8192 in bytes.

Usage Guidelines
The SRP interface provides commands to enforce quality of service (QoS) functionality on the transmit side and receive side of Cisco routers. SRP uses the IP type of service (ToS) field values to determine packet priority.
The SRP interface classifies traffic on the transmit side into high- and low-priority traffic. High-priority traffic is rate shaped and has higher priority than low-priority traffic. You have the option to configure high- or low-priority traffic and can rate limit the high-priority traffic.
The command srp priority-map transmit enables the user to specify IP packets with values equal to or greater than the ToS value to be considered as high-priority traffic.
On the receive side, when WRED is enabled, SRP hardware classifies packets into high-, medium-, and low-priority packets based on IP ToS value. After classification, it stores the packet into the internal receive buffer. The receive buffer is partitioned for each priority packet. Cisco routers can employ WRED based on the IP ToS value. Routers also employ the Deficit Round Robin (DRR) algorithm to transfer packets from the internal receive buffer to IOS.
The command srp priority-map receive enables the user to classify packets as high, medium, or low based on the IP ToS value.
Examples
The following example configures Cisco 7500 series routers to transmit packets with priority greater than 5 as high-priority packets:
Router(config-if)# srp priority-map transmit 5Related Commands
