This command configures the type of framing used for the signaling generated on a specific type of line card.
Product
All
Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
framing { ethernet | sdh [ ds1 | e1 ] | sonet [ ds1 | e1 ] | unspecified } [ -noconfirm ]
default framing [ -noconfirm ]
default
Resets the framing generated by the card to the default for the particular card type.
ethernet
Configures the system to use Ethernet framing for this line card. This type of framing can only be used on an ethernet card.
Default: Ethernet framing type is the default for an Ethernet line card.
Important: Using this keyword with an OLC/OLC2 or CLC/CLC2 would take the card offline.
sdh [ ds1 | e1 ]
Configures the system to use SDH signal framing for either an OLC/OLC2 or CLC/CLC2 line card in an SGSN.
Important: Using this keyword with an Ethernet line card would take the line card offline.
In releases 8.1 and higher, you can also set the type of signaling path for a CLC2.
ds1 - configures the card to support a DS1/T1.
e1 - configures the card to support an E1. This is the default for SDH.
sonet [ ds1 | e1 ]
Configures the system to use SONET signal framing for either an OLC/OLC2 or CLC/CLC2 line card in an SGSN.
Default: SONET is the default framing type for an OLC/OLC2 or CLC/CLC2 line card.
Important: Using this keyword with an Ethernet line card would take the line card offline.
In releases 8.1 and higher, you can also set the type of signaling path for a CLC2.
ds1 - configures the card to support a DS1/T. This is the default for SONET.
e1 - configures the card to support an E1.
unspecified
Configures the system to use the default framing type for the particular line card resident in the identified slot.
-noconfirm
Instructs the system to execute the command without additional prompting for command confirmation.
Usage
Use the framing command to identify the type of signal framing to be used by the line card in the identified slot.
It should be noted that each type of line card uses a different type of signal framing. If the wrong type of framing is configured for a line card, the line card will be taken offline.
Important: This command is not supported on all platforms.
Example
The following command could be used to configure SDH signal framing on a CLC2. By not including the path-type, the default of e1 will automatically be included in the card’s framing configuration:
framing sdh
 
header-type
This command defines the size of the header frame for Frame Relay transmissions over a CLC or CLC2 channelized line card.
Product
SGSN
Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
header-type header-size [ -noconfirm ]
default header-type [ -noconfirm ]
default
Resets the configuration to the default header size of 2-bytes.
header-size
This sets the size, number of bytes, for the header frame.
header-size must be either 2-bytes or 4-bytes.
-noconfirm
Instructs the system to execute the command without additional prompting for command confirmation.
Usage
Use this command to set the size of the header frame for Frame Relay messages emanating from the line card. The size (2-bytes or 4-bytes) determines the amount of information that can be transmitted in that first information frame.
Important: Not supported on all platforms
Example
Set the header to the smallest size.
header-type 2-byte
 
initial-e1-framing
Configures the type of framing mode that will be initially available at the time the line card boots.
Product
SGSN
Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
initial-e1-framing [ crc4 | standard ]
default initial-e1-framing
default
Returns the configuration to CRC4 as the default type.
crc4
Accepts the default CRC4, in the configuration, as the initial at-boot framing mode.
standard
Accepts the standard mode as the initialization framing mode.
Usage
For a CLC-type line card, the default E1 framing mode is "CRC4". When a card reboots, all E1s are initialized with "CRC4" framing mode and then switch to the configured framing mode. With this keyword, the user has the option to choose the initialization framing mode.
Important: Only supported on CLC/CLC2
Example
initial-e1-framing standard
 
link-aggregation
Configures the link-aggregation system-priority for a Quad Gig-E line card (QGLC). This parameter is usually changed to match the feature requirements of the remote switch.
Product

Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
link-aggregation { system-priority priority | toggle-link } [ -noconfirm ]
{ default | no } link-aggregation { system-priority | toggle-link } [ -noconfirm ]
default
Resets the configuration to the default.
link-aggregation system-priority priority
This command sets the system priority used by LACP to form the system ID.
priority is a hex value in the range of 0x0000 to 0xFFFF.
Default system priority value is 0x8000 (32768).
toggle-link
When enabled, port line down and port link up events are generated.
Default is disabled.
-noconfirm
Instructs the system to execute the command without additional prompting for command confirmation.
Usage
This value is combined with the Master port’s MAC address to form the system ID. A system is a PSC or PSC2 and its associated QGLC(s) The highest system ID priority (the lowest number) handles dynamic changes.
For additional usage and configuration information for the link aggregation feature, go to Configuring Link Aggregation in the System Administration Guide.
Important: Not supported on all platforms
Example
The following command configures the link aggregation system-priority to 10640:
link-aggregation system-priority 0x2990
 
mode
Sets the application Processor Card’s current administrative state to active or standby.
Product
All
Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
mode { active [ pac | psc] | standby } [ -noconfirm ]
default mode [ -noconfirm ]
default
Returns the mode to the default value appropriate to the card type.
The default administrative mode for line cards affects a single card and its mated line card. The default state for line cards in the top shelf is active. The default for line cards in the bottom shelf is standby.
The default administrative state for the SPIO in slot 24 is active and the SPIO in slot 25 is standby.
The default administrative mode for PSCs or PSC2s is standby.
Important: This command results in a migration of processes if the default mode for a card is different than the current state of the card.
active [ pac | psc]
Defines which card type is to be switched from standby to active state. If a card is present in the slot, the Processing Card is automatically selected depending upon the type of card. If no card is present in the slot, Processing Card is assumed.
pac: Identifies a PAC
psc: Identifies a PSC or PSC2
standby
Sets the PSC, or PSC2 in the slot to standby mode.
Caution: Switching an active PSC/PSC2 to standby deletes all port configurations, including bindings, for the attached line cards.
-noconfirm
Instructs the system to execute the command without additional prompting for command confirmation.
Usage
Set the desired mode of mated cards. The card targeted for maintenance is placed in the standby state first.
The setting of the mode determines which PSCs or PSC2s are to be active and which are to be the standby cards for redundancy. Use this command to configure the set of active and standby PSCs/PSC2s. The application processor card’s standby priority is then used in conjunction with the set of standby PSCs or PSC2s to determine the order in which the standby cards are used for redundancy support.
Important: Not supported on all platforms
Important: This command results in a migration of processes if the mode specified for the card is different than the current state of the card.
Example
The following commands set the state of a card to active and standby, respectively.
mode active
mode standby
 
redundancy
Configures the type of redundancy for a line card or SPIO.
Product
PDSN, FA, HA, GGSN, SSGN
Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
redundancy { card-mode | mixed-mode | port-mode | pseudo-aps-mode } [-noconfirm ]
default redundancy [ -noconfirm ]
default
Restores redundancy to port-mode type redundancy.
card-mode
Specifies no port redundancy is used. This is used mostly for legacy products.
mixed-mode
port-mode
Enables port redundancy on line cards or on SPIO cards.
This is the default setting used by the system.
Important: Port-type redundancy does not affect line card failover/redundancy operations.
pseudo-aps-mode
Important: This feature is not yet fully supported.
With release 8.1 and higher, this keyword enables pseudo-APS type port redundancy on OLC2/CLC2 line cards.
-noconfirm
Instructs the system to execute the command without additional prompting for command confirmation.
Usage
Use this command to configure redundancy on a line card (LC) or a SPIO card. With port-mode enabled, if an external network device or cable failure occurs that causes a link down failure on the port, the redundant port is used.
Important: Not supported on all platforms
Important: You do not need to enter this command for each LC or SPIO card, as the system intuitively understands that if the command is entered for an active LC or SPIO card, the standby LC or SPIO card switches to operate in the same mode. For example, entering the port-mode command for an LC in slot 17 automatically enables a redundant LC in slot 33 for port redundant operation.
Example
The following command sets the redundancy mode to port redundancy.
redundancy port-mode
 
service-type
This command configures the type of service the CLC or CLC2 line card will support.
Important: Supported in software releases 8.1 and higher.
Product
SGSN
Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
service-type { frame-relay | mtp2 | pwe3-cesopsn | unspecified } [ -noconfirm ]
default service-type [ -noconfirm ]
default
Returns the card configuration to ‘unspecified’.
frame-relay
Configures the card to operate in Frame Relay service mode.
mtp2
Important: MTP2 functionality is not yet supported.
Enables MTP2 type service to support narrowband transmissions.
pwe3-cesopsn
Important: pwe3-cesopsn functionality has been replaced by mtp2.
unspecified
This is the default mode for a CLC or CLC2 linecard.
Important: You must configure the linecard to one of the available service types or the card will not function.
-noconfirm
Instructs the system to execute the command without additional prompting for command confirmation.
Usage
Use this command to configure the operational service mode for the channelized line card - CLC or CLC2. Once you select the service-type, refer to the Channelized Port configuration mode chapter to review the commands needed to configure the parameters for the port.
Example
service-type frame-relay
