Network Optimization Commands
This chapter describes the commands that let you improve the use of network resources. The commands consist primarily of route optimization commands. The chapter begins with a generic description of command syntax.
Position-Dependent and Keyword-Driven Parameters
A command can include parameters that are keyword-driven or position-dependent.
For position-dependent parameters, you must type parameters in the order they appear in the syntax description or on-line help. To create a logical port, for example, the position-dependent syntax is:
addport <ifNum> <bay.line> <guaranteedRate> <maxrate> <sctID> <ifType> [vpi]
For a keyword-driven parameter, a keyword must precede the value. The keyword is preceded by a dash and followed by the parameter (-timeout <secs>, for example). The order you enter keyword-driven parameters does not matter—although any preceding or succeeding, position-dependent parameters must appear as they do in the command syntax description.
In the following syntax example, the command is used to delete more than one connection at a time. The mandatory, position-dependent connection identifier consist of a logical port (ifNum) and the VPI and VCI of the first connection to delete. After the connection identifier, the line shows two optional, keyword-driven parameters. These keyword-driven parameters let you enter the number of connections to delete and specify verbose mode:
delcons <ifNum> <vpi> <vci> [-num <num. conns to del>] [-verbose < 1 | 0 >]
Command Entry
When you enter a command with the current version of the product, you must type all intended arguments before you press the Return key or Enter key.
If you press the Return key or Enter key with incorrect parameters or no parameters (if the command requires parameters), a message displays the syntax and parameter ranges. The returned message may also suggest what the problem is. For example, the message may warn of too few parameters. No error messages or warnings appear until you complete the command.
Identifying the AXSM Models
The model number of an AXSM identifies the line speed, line count, and number of bays (see Table 8-1.) Note that the number of lines applies to an individual back card, so the total number of lines supported by the front card equals the highest line number times the number of bays. The OC-48 card AXSM-1-2488 has the lowest number of lines—one. The highest number of lines exist on the AXSM-16-155 and AXSM-16-T3E3—16, as the name indicates.
An MGX 8850 or MGX 8950 node uses the concept of a bay. The bay refers to the upper or lower location of a single-height card. (The switch has a double-height card cage, so a single-height back card necessarily occupies either an upper or lower position.)
The T3/E3, OC-3, and OC-12 versions of the AXSM can have two back cards, one in bay 1 (upper location of the back slot) and the second in bay 2 (lower slot). The MGX-AXSM-1-2488 (OC-48 AXSM) can have a back card in bay 1 only. For further descriptions and illustrations of the card sets, refer to Cisco MGX 8850 Hardware Installation, Release 2.1 or Cisco MGX 8950 Hardware Installation, Release 1.0.

Connection Capacities of the AXSM
The SVC and SPVC connection capacities for the front card, back card, and physical lines appear in Table 8-2 and Table 8-3. The capacity of a single AXSM card is greater than that of the node itself. Nevertheless, the tables provide these maximums when you plan the use of commands such as addrscprtn, addcon, and any other command where you may want to know the capacity of the configured item to support connections.

Identifying Physical and Logical Elements
The Private Network-to-Network Interface (PNNI) control protocol and the service modules use different formats to identify the same entity. For example, the format of a logical port that you enter on an AXSM is different from the format you would enter on the PXM45. This section describes these formats in the PNNI and AXSM contexts and how they correspond to each other. The parallel actions of configuring or displaying logical elements on different cards is broadly illustrated in the Cisco
MGX 8850 and MGX 8950 Switch Software Configuration Guide, Release 2.1.
Apart from the way PNNI and the lower levels of logic identify the same element, the sequence of commands also needs explanation. When you configure logical ports—for just one example—you must complete certain tasks on the AXSM CLI before or after related PNNI tasks. For certain commands, this manual lists prerequisite commands or tasks. For more details on the sequence of tasks, refer to the Cisco
MGX 8850 and MGX 8950 Switch Software Configuration Guide, Release 2.1, for more details of this sequence.
AXSM Format
On a service module, you identify the follow when you provision the capabilities of the card:
•
Slot
•
Bay
•
Line
•
Logical port
•
Port group
•
Resource partition
Not all of these elements correspond to elements you specify on the PXM45. Subsequent paragraphs describe only the common elements that are visible on the CLI of the PXM and the service module. The preceding elements are further defined in the Cisco MGX 8850 and MGX 8950 Switch Software Configuration Guide, Release 2.1.
For a UNI or NNI, one logical interface (or logical port) exists per physical line. For virtual network to network interfaces (VNNIs), you can configure multiple ports on a line. The maximum number of logical ports on an AXSM is 60 or 32 on an AXSM-E, regardless of the number of AXSM back cards or whether the interface type is UNI, NNI, or VNNI.
PNNI Format
The PNNI controller requires the following format to identify a physical port:
[shelf.]slot:subslot.port:subport
The PNNI physical port identifier (physical port ID) consists of a series of mandatory elements. Note the period or colon associated with each element inside the square brackets. The elements of the physical port ID are as follows:
•
The shelf is always 1 for the current product and so is usually omitted.
•
The slot number of the front card.
•
Subslot is the number of the bay where the back card resides. This number is 1 or 2.
•
Port is the physical line.
•
Subport corresponds to the resource partition on the AXSM. For a UNI or NNI, this resource partition is the same number as the logical port number (ifNum) on the AXSM. For a virtual network-to-network interface (VNNI), these numbers do not directly correspond to each other.
For each physical port number, PNNI also generates a logical port number as an encrypted form of the physical port number. The logical port number appears as an unformatted numerical string. For example, a PNNI physical port ID may have the form 1:1.2:2, so the PNNI logical port number would be 16848898. Where needed, the descriptions in the PNNI command chapter define the need for this logical port number. (This section does not define a PNNI logical port number, nor does it describe the correspondence between an AXSM port and a PNNI logical port number.) For the correspondence between a PNNI physical port and the port identifier on an AXSM, see Table 8-4.

cnfpnportloscallrel
Configure PNNI Port Loss of Signal Call Release
The cnfpnportloscallrel command lets you shut off the standard delay for rerouting calls on a port when the system detects loss of signal (LOS) on a port.
When the system detects LOS on an NNI link, the switch does not immediately tear down the calls on the link—in case the break is momentary. By default, the system waits for the SSCOP "no-response" and T309 timers to time out before it releases calls on the broken link. The default values for these timers are 30 seconds and 10 seconds, respectively. The system-level assumption (and therefore the default for cnfpnportloscallrel) is to retain all the calls for a temporary loss of connectivity, but this can also have the effect of delaying the rerouting of connections. The cnfpnportloscallrel command lets you direct the system to reroute calls without delay on a particular port.

cnfrrtparm
Configure Reroute Retry Parameters—configures the waiting time intervals for rerouting a failed SPVC.
The cnfrrtparm command allows you configure the time periods that the switch waits between each reroute retry attempt.
When an SPVC fails, the system immediately attempts to reroute the connection. If the first reroute attempt fails, the switch keeps trying to reroute the connection according to the slow retry interval (-slowtmr) and the fast retry interval base(-fasttmrbase).
The fast retry interval base is an incremental value (in 100-millisecond units) that is incremented each time the switch attempts to reroute the connection and fails. The switch then waits the incremented amount of time before it attempts to reroute the connection again. The fast retry interval base continues to increment after each reroute attempt until it is equal to the slow retry interval value or until the reroute succeeds.
The slow retry interval is a fixed value (in seconds) that occurs between all subsequent reroute attempts. After the fast retry interval base reaches the slow retry interval, the switch attempts to reroute the connection at the rate of the slow retry interval. No limit exists for the number of reroute attempts once the slow retry interval begins.
For example, if the fast retry interval base is 50 100-millisecond intervals (5 seconds) and the slow retry interval is 300 seconds (5 minutes), the switch attempts to reroute the connection 5 seconds after the first attempt, 10 seconds after the second attempt, 15 seconds after the third attempt, and so on until the fast retry interval base equals 300 seconds (5 minutes). After that, the switch continues to attempt to reroute the connection every 5 minutes or until the reroute is successful.

cnfrteopt
Configure Route Optimization
Configure periodic route optimization to improve bandwidth utilization. This type of optimization is a type of connection grooming. To automate route optimization, cnfrteopt lets you specify an interval between new optimization cycles. (To force immediate route optimization, use the optrte command.) The load created by route optimization is extremely small and cannot cause congestion.
You can choose a time period for optimization so that disruption is minimal. For example, you could specify that the switch starts grooming a range of SPVCs for one hour at midnight. Note, that route optimization is a background process and does not attempt to optimize all possible connections at once.
The nature of SPVCs provides a reason for periodic grooming: during the course of daily operation, better routes may become available. The determining factor for a better route is the maximum cost (maxcost). See the addcon description for details about the maxcost parameter. The PNNI protocol identifies this maximum cost by another name: administrative weight (AW).
Note
If you do not specify a maxcost with either the addcon or cnfcon command, the routing protocol uses the AW on only forward links to calculate a new route for the connection. If the connection has a specified maxcost, the routing protocol calculates possible routes by using the AW in both directions.
Usage Guidelines
Note the following characteristics of route optimization:
•
Within a range of connections, the cnfrteopt command applies to only the master endpoints. The slave endpoints are not processed by cnfrteopt.
•
Route optimization applies to only routed connections. The switching fabric does load comparison between the routing cost of a connection's current route and the new, potential, best route.
By default, the PXM45 calculates that a route is better if its routing cost is 30% less than the current cost. You can change this cost threshold through the cnfrteoptthld command.
The following briefly characterizes the defaults for cnfrteopt:
•
The default state is disabled.
•
If you do not specify a range, all connections on the port are subject to optimization.
•
If you not specify an interval, optimization begins every 60 minutes.
•
If you do not specify a time of day, the default is any time during the day (but still subject to the interval of minutes between optimization commencement).

PXM45
Syntax
cnfrteopt <portid> [{enable | disable}] [-range <starting-vpi/vci..ending-vpi/vci>]
[-interval <interval>] [-tod <start-time..end-time>]
Syntax Description
portid
|
Identifies a PNNI physical port. The format is slot:subslot.port:subport. For a description of each field, see the section, "PNNI Format," at the beginning of the chapter.
|
enable | disable
|
Enables or disables route optimization. The default is disabled, but if grooming is operational and you want to disable it, run cnfrteopt and enter "disable."
|
-range
|
The range of connections for grooming. The VPI of the starting SPVC must be less than the ending VPI, and the starting VCI must be less than the ending VCI.
Use the notation as it appears on the syntax line: type a slash between the VPI and VCI and two dots with no spaces between the starting and ending values. For example, 100/1000..200/10000 is a valid entry. The ranges are as follows:
• VPI: 0-4095
• VCI: 32-65535
In the variable parameter starting-vpi/vci..ending-vpi/vci, the starting and ending VPIs are independent of the starting and ending VCIs. For example, -range 3/40..5/50 means the following:
Optimize all SPVCs that have a VPI in the range 3-5 and a VCI in the range 40-50.
This example range could include 3/40, 3/45, 4/45, 5/45 and 5/50 but not 4/60.
Note that the default for -range is all connections on the PNNI port specified by portid. Therefore, to groom all connections on the port, leave out the -range parameter.
|
-interval
|
Keyword that specifies the frequency at which grooming begins. The units of measure are minutes. The range is 10-10000. The default is 60. Counting starts at one of two moments:
• The moment you execute cnfrteopt
• The starting time specified by TOD in cnfrteopt
If the interval is less than half the amount of time specified by the start-time..end-time parameter, route optimization may begin more than once during the time period. For example, if the periods of optimization are two hours beginning at midnight and 4:00 AM and the interval is one hour, route optimization could occur two to four times per day.
|
-tod
|
Keyword that specifies the time to start and stop grooming. The format is a 24-hour clock: 00:00-23:59. The default for both start and end-time is 00:00. If you execute cnfrteopt during the time specified by tod, the optimization cycle begins during the next time interval.
If the time for the node changes (by way of the cnftime command, for example), the node might skip one optimization cycle.
Note Use the notation in the Syntax section: type two dots with no spaces between starting and ending times.

cnfrteoptthld
Configure Route Optimization Threshold
Configure a threshold the system uses to decide whether one route is a sufficient improvement to warrant re-routing. The criterion for selecting a new route is a threshold in the form of the percent of difference in route cost.
The default for route optimization is a 30% reduction of the cost of a route. Using this mechanism, the PXM45 selects a given route if it costs 30% less than the cost of the current route. With cnfrteoptthld, you can change the percentage of routing cost-improvement.
Syntax

dspload
Display Load—displays maximum channels and bandwidth and available channels and bandwidth on a partition.
This command displays the configured maximum and guaratneed number of channels and the configured maximum and guaranteed bandwidth on a partition on a logical interface. It also displays the currently available number of channels and the currently available bandwidth on the partition.
This information can allow you to determine the throughput requirements for a partition and the actual resource utilization.
The output shows the configured bandwidth for user connections of all service classes.
The display also shows the load created by control VCs. The control VCs are of three types: SSCOP, PNNI-RCC, and ILMI (if ILMI is enabled). The bandwidth allocations for SSCOP and PNNI-RCC control VCs are configurable (see cnfpnctlvc.) The bandwidth for an ILMI VC is fixed, as follows: PCR=1000 cps; SCR=50cps; and MBS=1024 cells.

Variable Type: The available bandwidth (Avl Bw) or the available channels (Avl Chnl).
|
VSI - SIG
|
Virtual Switch Interface Signaling:
|
CBR
|
Constant Bit Rate: Used for connections that require a high QoS and strict cell delay variation (CDV).
|
VBR-RT
|
Variable Bit Rate-Real Time: Used for connections that have burst traffic and that require a strict cell delay variation (CDV).
|
VBR-nRT
|
Variable Bit Rate-non-Real Time: Used for connections that do not require end to end timing.
|
UBR
|
Unspecified Bit Rate: Used for connections that can allow any amount of data, up to a specified maximum, to be transmitted, but with no guarantees in terms of cell loss rate and delay.
|
ABR
|
Available Bit Rate: Used for connections that do not require timing relationships between source and destination endpoints. ABR provides no guarantees in terms of cell loss or delay, and provides only a best-effort service. Cell rates are adjusted in response to the state or condition of the network and its ability to successfully deliver data.

dsprteoptstat
Display Route Optimization Status
Display the current percent of route cost reduction. This percent is a threshold that the PXM45 requires to determine that one route costs sufficiently less to warrant re-routing. The percent applies to all connections on the node. The system default is 30%, but you can configure a percent through the cnfrteoptthld command. For more details on route optimization, see the cnfrteopt description.

optrte
Optimize Routes
Force immediate optimization of either a single SPVC route, a range of SPVCs, or all SPVCs on a particular port. (Connection grooming is a common word for optimization.)
Re-routing depends on a reduction in the cost of the route. If the PXM45 can find a route with sufficiently lower cost, the SPVC is de-routed then re-routed. The system default is a 30% reduction in the cost but is configurable through the cnfrteoptthld command. For a detailed explanation of route optimization, see the description of cnfrteopt.

Syntax
optrte <portid> [-vpi <vpi>] [-vci <vci>] [-range <starting-vpi/vci..ending-vpi/vci>]
Syntax Description
portid
|
Identifies a PNNI physical port. The format is slot:subslot.port:subport. For a description of each field, see the section, "PNNI Format," at the beginning of the chapter.
|
-vpi
|
Keyword that specifies the vpi. The range is 0-4095.
|
-vci
|
Keyword that specifies the vci. The range is 32-65535.
|
-range
|
The range of connections for grooming. The VPI of the starting SPVC must be less than the ending VPI, and the starting VCI must be less than the ending VCI.
Use the notation as it appears on the syntax line: type a slash between the VPI and VCI and two dots with no spaces between the starting and ending values. For example, 100/1000..200/10000 is a valid entry. The ranges are as follows:
• VPI: 0-4095
• VCI: 32-65535
In the variable parameter starting-vpi/vci..ending-vpi/vci, the starting and ending VPIs are independent of the starting and ending VCIs. For example, -range 3/40..5/50 means the following:
Optimize all SPVCs that have a VPI in the range 3-5 and a VCI in the range 40-50.
This example range could include 3/40, 3/45, 4/45, 5/45 and 5/50 but not 4/60.
Note that the default for -range is all connections on the PNNI port specified by portid. Therefore, to groom all connections on the port, leave out the -range parameter.
