Card Configuration Mode Commands

Card Configuration Mode Commands
 
 
Use the Card configuration mode to create and manage the physical cards in the chassis.
 
 
aps
This command configures the parameters for the automatic protection switching (APS) feature for SONET CLC2 and OLC2 line cards or for multiplexed section (or switching) protection (MSP) type APS for SDH CLC2 and OLC2 line cards.
note_smallImportant: This command should only be used after APS has been enabled with the aps-mode keyword of the redundancy command.

Syntax
aps [ 1+1 ] [ uni-directional ] [ non-revertive ] [ -noconfirm ]
no aps
1+1
Selects 1+1 line (linear) protection. Traffic is carried simultaneously by the working line and the protection line. GR-253 and ITU-T G.783 require the bridging to be done at the electrical level; therefore, the same payloads are transmitted over the working and protection lines.
uni-directional
Enables protection on one end of the connection.
non-revertive
Prevents the network from automatically reverting to the original working line/port when the the original working line/port is recovered/restored.
-noconfirm
Instructs the system to execute the command without additional prompting for command confirmation.

Syntax
framing { ethernet | sdh [ ds1 | e1 ] [ ss-bits ] | 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.
note_smallImportant: Using this keyword with an OLC/OLC2 or CLC/CLC2 would take the card offline.
sdh [ ds1 | e1 ] [ ss-bits ]
Configures the system to use SDH signal framing for either an OLC/OLC2 or CLC/CLC2 line card in an SGSN.
note_smallImportant: Using this keyword with an Ethernet line card takes 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.
ss-bits - enables/disables use of ss-bits (per ITU 1997 G.783 specification) for SDH onfigured line card.
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.
note_smallImportant: Using this keyword with an Ethernet line card takes 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.
Note that each type of line card uses a different type of signal framing. If you configure the wrong framing type for a line card, the line card is taken offline.
note_smallImportant: This command is not supported on all platforms.
Example
Use the following command to configure SDH signal framing on a CLC2. If you do not include the path-type, the default of e1 is automatically included in the card’s framing configuration:
framing sdh
 
header-type
Use this command to define 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.
note_smallImportant: Not supported on all platforms
Example
Set the header to the smallest size.
header-type 2-byte
 
initial-e1-framing
Use this command to configure the type of framing mode that will initially be 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, you have the option to choose the initialization framing mode.
note_smallImportant: 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) or 10 Gigabit Line Card (XGLC). 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 packet processing card and its associated QGLC(s) or XGLCs. 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 Cisco ASR 5000 Series System Administration Guide.
note_smallImportant: 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 | 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 packet processing cards is standby.
note_smallImportant: 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
Defines which card type is to be switched from standby to active state. If a card is present in the slot, the packet processing card is automatically selected depending upon the type of card. If no card is present in the slot, a packet processing card is assumed.
standby
Sets the packet processing card in the slot to standby mode.
Caution_iconCaution: Switching an active packet processing card 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 packet processing cards 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 packet processing cards. The application processor card’s standby priority is then used in conjunction with the set of standby packet processing cards to determine the order in which the standby cards are used for redundancy support.
note_smallImportant: Not supported on all platforms
note_smallImportant: 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 { aps-mode | card-mode |port-mode } [-noconfirm ]
default redundancy [ -noconfirm ]
default
Restores redundancy to port-mode type redundancy.
aps-mode
Enables automatic protection switching (APS), if the card is either a CLC2 or an OLC2 line card with card framing set to SONET. (Refer to the framing command.)
Enables multiplexed section (or switching) protection (MSP) type APS, if the card is a CLC2 line card with card framing set to SDH. (Refer to the framing command.)
note_smallImportant: Using this keyword with any card type other than a CLC2 or an OLC2 will take the card offline.
Related parameters: You should consider setting appropriate SDSF BER (signal degrade/signal failure bit error rate) threshold settings. Access the hopath-sdsf, lopath-sdsf, and toh-sdsf commands vai the port channelized configuration mode -- for a CLC2 line card refer to the Channelized Port Configuration Mode Commands chapter and for an OLC2 line card refer to the ATM Port Configuration Mode Commands chapter.
card-mode
Specifies no port redundancy is used. This is used mostly for legacy products.
port-mode
Enables port redundancy on line cards or on SPIO cards.
This is the default setting used by the system.
note_smallImportant: Port-type redundancy does not affect line card failover/redundancy operations.
pseudo-aps-mode
This command has been deprecated.
-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.
note_smallImportant: Not supported on all platforms
note_smallImportant: You do not need to enter this command for each line card or SPIO card, as the system intuitively understands that if the command is entered for an active line card or SPIO card, the standby line card or SPIO card switches to operate in the same mode. For example, if you enter the port-mode command for an LC in slot 17, you automatically enable a redundant line card in slot 33 for port redundant operation.
note_smallImportant: asp-mode and port-mode are mutually exclusive.
Example
The following command sets the redundancy mode to port redundancy.
redundancy port-mode
The following sets APS/MSP 1+1 inter-card redundancy for the specified OLC2 or CLC2 line card:
redundancy aps-mode
 
redundant with
Enables side-by-side (SBS) redundancy for XGLCs.
Product
All
Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
redundant with card_number
card_number
Identify the neighboring top slot number of the card to pair with the XGLC being configured.
card_number : An integer between 1 and 48.
note_smallImportant: Attempting to use this command with any card other than an XGLC will take the card offline.
Usage
Use this command during configuration to identify the slot holding the XGLC card that will be used to provide redundancy to the XGLC you are configuring. Entering this command enables SBS redundancy when the two XGLCs occupy two upper (top) slots in a chassis.
Example
Pair the card in slot 30 with the card being configured:
redundant with 30
