Prerequisites for Configuring Serial Interfaces
Before configuring serial interfaces, be sure that the following tasks and conditions are met:
•
You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs for serial Interface commands. Task IDs for commands are listed in Cisco IOS XR Interface and Hardware Component Command Reference.
•
Your hardware must support T3/E3 controllers and serial interfaces. The following hardware supports T3/E3 controllers and serial interfaces in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.3:
–
2-Port and 4-Port Clear Channel T3/E3 SPAs
–
2-Port and 4-Port Channelized T3 SPAs
Note
The 2-Port and 4-Port Channelized T3 SPAs support T1/E1 controllers and DS0 channels.
•
You have already configured the clear channel T3/E3 controller or channelized T3-to-T1/E1controller that is associated with the serial interface you want to configure, as described in the Configuring Clear Channel T3/E3 Controllers and Channelized T3 Controllers on Cisco IOS XR Software module earlier in this document.
Information About Serial Interfaces
Serial interfaces are supported on the following Cisco XR 12000 Series Router shared port adapter (SPA) cards:
•
2-Port and 4-Port Clear Channel T3/E3 SPAs
•
2-Port and 4-Port Channelized T3 SPAs
Note
The 2-Port and 4-Port Channelized T3 SPAs can run in clear channel mode, or they can be channelized into 28 T1 or 21 E1 controllers.
T3/E3 serial interfaces are automatically created on clear channel T3/E3 controllers. On channelized T3-to-T1/E1 controllers, serial interfaces are automatically created when users configure individual DS0 channel groups the T1/E1 controllers.
To configure serial interfaces, you must understand the following concepts:

Serial Interface Concepts
To configure serial interfaces, you must understand the following concepts:
•
Cisco HDLC Encapsulation
•
PPP Encapsulation
•
Keepalive Timer
•
Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Version 3-Based Layer 2 VPN on Frame Relay
On the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router, a single serial interface carries data over a single interface using PPP, Cisco HDLC, or Frame Relay encapsulation.
Cisco HDLC Encapsulation
Cisco High-Level Data Link Controller (HDLC) is the Cisco proprietary protocol for sending data over synchronous serial links using HDLC. Cisco HDLC also provides a simple control protocol called Serial Line Address Resolution Protocol (SLARP) to maintain serial link keepalives. HDLC is the default encapsulation type for serial interfaces under Cisco IOS XR software. Cisco HDLC is the default for data encapsulation at Layer 2 (data link) of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) stack for efficient packet delineation and error control.
Note
Cisco HDLC is the default encapsulation type for the serial interfaces.
Cisco HDLC uses keepalives to monitor the link state, as described in the "Keepalive Timer" section.
Note
Use the debug chdlc slarp packet command to display information about the Serial Line Address Resolution Protocol (SLARP) packets that are sent to the peer after the keepalive timer has been configured.
PPP Encapsulation
PPP is a standard protocol used to send data over synchronous serial links. PPP also provides a Link Control Protocol (LCP) for negotiating properties of the link. LCP uses echo requests and responses to monitor the continuing availability of the link.
Note
When an interface is configured with PPP encapsulation, a link is declared down, and full LCP negotiation is re-initiated after three ECHOREQ packets are sent without receiving an ECHOREP response.
PPP provides the following Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for negotiating properties of data protocols that will run on the link:
•
IP Control Protocol (IPCP) to negotiate IP properties
•
Multiprotocol Label Switching control processor (MPLSCP) to negotiate MPLS properties
•
Cisco Discovery Protocol control processor (CDPCP) to negotiate CDP properties
•
IPv6CP to negotiate IP Version 6 (IPv6) properties
•
Open Systems Interconnection control processor (OSICP) to negotiate OSI properties
PPP uses keepalives to monitor the link state, as described in the "Keepalive Timer" section.
PPP supports the following authentication protocols, which require a remote device to prove its identity before allowing data traffic to flow over a connection:
•
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)—CHAP authentication sends a challenge message to the remote device. The remote device encrypts the challenge value with a shared secret and returns the encrypted value and its name to the local router in a response message. The local router attempts to match the remote device's name with an associated secret stored in the local username or remote security server database; it uses the stored secret to encrypt the original challenge and verify that the encrypted values match.
•
Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP)—MS-CHAP is the Microsoft version of CHAP. Like the standard version of CHAP, MS-CHAP is used for PPP authentication; in this case, authentication occurs between a personal computer using Microsoft Windows NT or Microsoft Windows 95 and a Cisco router or access server acting as a network access server.
•
Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)—PAP authentication requires the remote device to send a name and a password, which are checked against a matching entry in the local username database or in the remote security server database.
Note
For more information on enabling and configuring PPP authentication protocols, see the "Configuring PPP on Cisco IOS XR Software" module later in this manual.
Use the ppp authentication command in interface configuration mode to enable CHAP, MS-CHAP, and PAP on a serial interface.
Note
Enabling or disabling PPP authentication does not affect the local router's willingness to authenticate itself to the remote device.
Multilink PPP
Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP) provides a method for combining multiple physical links into one logical link. The implementation of MLPPP on Cisco XR 12000 Series Routers combines multiple PPP serial interfaces into one multilink interface. MLPPP performs the fragmenting, reassembling, and sequencing of datagrams across multiple PPP links. MLPPP is supported on the 2-Port and 4-Port Channelized T3 SPAs.
MLPPP provides the same features that are supported on PPP Serial interfaces with the exception of QoS. It also provides the following additional features:
•
Fragment sizes of 128, 256, and 512 bytes
•
Long sequence numbers (24-bit)
•
Lost fragment detection timeout period of 80 ms
•
Minimum-active-links configuration option
•
LCP echo request/reply support over multilink interface
•
Full T1 and E1 framed and unframed links
For more information about configuring MLPPP on a serial interface, see the "Configuring PPP on Cisco IOS XR Software" module later in this document.
Keepalive Timer
Cisco keepalives are useful for monitoring the link state. Periodic keepalives are sent to and received from the peer at a frequency determined by the value of the keepalive timer. If an acceptable keepalive response is not received from the peer, the link makes the transition to the down state. As soon as an acceptable keepalive response is obtained from the peer or if keepalives are disabled, the link makes the transition to the up state.
If three keepalives are sent to the peer and no response is received from peer, then the link makes the transition to the down state. ECHOREQ packets are sent out only when LCP negotiation is complete (for example, when LCP is open).
Use the keepalive command in interface configuration mode to set the frequency at which LCP sends ECHOREQ packets to its peer. To restore the system to the default keepalive interval of 10 seconds, use the keepalive command with no argument. To disable keepalives, use the keepalive disable command. For both PPP and Cisco HDLC, a keepalive of 0 disables keepalives and is reported in the show running-config command output as keepalive disable.
Note
During Minimal Disruptive Restart (MDR), the keepalive interval must be 10 seconds or more.
When LCP is running on the peer and receives an ECHOREQ packet, it responds with an echo reply (ECHOREP) packet, regardless of whether keepalives are enabled on the peer.
Keepalives are independent between the two peers. One peer end can have keepalives enabled; the other end can have them disabled. Even if keepalives are disabled locally, LCP still responds with ECHOREP packets to the ECHOREQ packets it receives. Similarly, LCP also works if the period of keepalives at each end is different.
Note
Use the debug chdlc slarp packet command and other Cisco HDLC debug commands to display information about the Serial Line Address Resolution Protocol (SLARP) packets that are sent to the peer after the keepalive timer has been configured.
Frame Relay Encapsulation
When Frame Relay encapsulation is enabled on a serial interface, the interface configuration is hierarchical and comprises the following elements:
1.
The serial main interface comprises the physical interface and port. If you are not using the serial interface to support Cisco HDLC and PPP encapsulated connections, then you must configure subinterfaces with permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) under the serial main interface. Frame Relay connections are supported on PVCs only.
2.
Serial subinterfaces are configured under the serial main interface. A serial subinterface does not actively carry traffic until you configure a PVC under the serial subinterface. Layer 3 configuration typically takes place on the subinterface.
3.
Point-to-point PVCs are configured under a serial subinterface. You cannot configure a PVC directly under a main interface. A single point-to-point PVC is allowed per subinterface. PVCs use a predefined circuit path and fail if the path is interrupted. PVCs remain active until the circuit is removed from either configuration. Connections on the serial PVC support Frame Relay encapsulation only.
Note
The administrative state of a parent interface drives the state of the subinterface and its PVC. When the administrative state of a parent interface or subinterface changes, so does the administrative state of any child PVC configured under that parent interface or subinterface.
The Local Management Interface (LMI) protocol monitors the addition, deletion, and status of PVCs. LMI also verifies the integrity of the link that forms a Frame Relay UNI interface. By default, cisco LMI is enabled on all PVCs. However, you can modify the default LMI type to be ANSI or Q.933, as described in the "Modifying the Default Frame Relay Configuration on an Interface" chapter later in this manual.
If the LMI type is cisco (the default LMI type), the maximum number of PVCs that can be supported under a single interface is related to the MTU size of the main interface. Use the following formula to calculate the maximum number of PVCs supported on a card or SPA:
MTU - 13/8 = maximum number of PVCs
Note
The default number of PVCs supported on POS PVCs with cisco LMI is 557.
For non-Cisco LMI types, up to 992 PVCs are supported under a single main interface.
To configure Frame Relay encapsulation on serial interfaces, use the encapsulation frame-relay command.
Frame Relay interfaces support two types of encapsulated frames:
•
Cisco (this is the default)
•
IETF
Use the encap command in PVC configuration mode to configure Cisco or IETF encapsulation on a PVC. If the encapsulation type is not configured explicitly for a PVC, then that PVC inherits the encapsulation type from the main serial interface.
Note
Cisco encapsulation is required on serial main interfaces that are configured for MPLS. IETF encapsulation is not supported for MPLS.
Before you configure Frame Relay encapsulation on an interface, you must verify that all prior
Layer 3 configuration is removed from that interface. For example, you must ensure that there is no IP address configured directly under the main interface; otherwise, any Frame Relay configuration done under the main interface will not be viable.
Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Version 3-Based Layer 2 VPN on Frame Relay
The Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Version 3 (L2TPv3) feature defines the L2TP protocol for tunneling Layer 2 payloads over an IP core network using Layer 2 virtual private networks (VPNs).
L2TPv3 is a tunneling protocol used for transporting Layer 2 protocols. It can operate in a number of different configurations and tunnel a number of different Layer 2 protocols and connections over a packet-switched network.
Before you can configure L2TPv3, you need configure a connection between the two attachment circuits (ACs) that will host the L2TPv3 psuedowire. Cisco IOS XR software supports a point-to-point, end-to-end service, where two ACs are connected together.
This chapter describes how to configure a Layer 2 AC on a Frame Relay encapsilated serial interface.
Note
Serial interfaces support DLCI mode layer 2 ACs only; layer 2 port mode ACs are not supported on serial interfaces.
Note
For detailed information about configuring L2TPv3 in your network, see the "Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Version 3 on Cisco IOS XR Software" module of Cisco IOS XR Multiprotocol Label Switching Configuration Guide.

Serial Interface Naming Notation
The naming notation for serial interfaces on a clear channel SPA is rack/slot/module/port, as shown in the following example:
The naming notation for T1, E1, and DS0 interfaces on a channelized SPA is rack/slot/module/port/channel-num:channel-group-number, as shown in the following example:
interface serial 0/0/1/2/4:3
If a subinterface and PVC are configured under the serial interface, then the router includes the subinterface number at the end of the serial interface address. In this case, the naming notation is rack/slot/module/port[/channel-num:channel-group-number].subinterface, as shown in the following examples:
interface serial 0/0/1/2.1
interface serial 0/0/1/2/4:3.1
Note
A slash between values is required as part of the notation.
The naming notation syntax for serial interfaces is as follows:
•
rack: Chassis number of the rack.
•
slot: Physical slot number of the modular services card or line card.
•
module: Module number. Shared port adapters (SPAs) are referenced by their subslot number.
•
port: Physical port number of the controller.
•
channel-num: T1 or E1 channel number. T1 channels range from 0 to 23; E1 channels range from 0 to 31.
•
channel-group-number: Time slot number. T1 time slots range from 1 to 24; E1 time slots range from 1 to 31. The channel-group-number is preceded by a colon and not a slash.
•
subinterface: Subinterface number.
Use the question mark (?) online help function following the serial keyword to view a list of all valid interface choices.
How to Configure Serial Interfaces
