> Card Configuration Mode Commands
> Use the Card configuration mode to create and manage the physical cards in the chassis.
> aps
> 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.
> Important: This command should only be used after APS has been enabled with the aps-mode keyword of the redundancy command.
> Product
> SGSN
> Privilege
> Security Administrator, Administrator
> 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
> Executes the command without additional prompting for command confirmation.
> end
> Exits the current configuration mode and returns to the Exec mode.

> framing
> Configures the type of framing to be used for the signaling generated on a specific line card.
> Product
> All
> Privilege
> Security Administrator, Administrator
> 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.
> Important: Using this keyword with an OLC/OLC2 or CLC/CLC2 takes 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.
> Important: 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 configured 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.
> Important: 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.
> Important: 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
> 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-type header-size
> Sets the size, number of bytes, for the header frame. header-size must be either 2-bytes or 4-bytes.
> -noconfirm
> Executes 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 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.
> initial-e1-framing crc4
> Accepts the default CRC4, in the configuration, as the initial at-boot framing mode.
> initial-e1-framing 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.
> Important: Only supported on CLC/CLC2
> Example
> initial-e1-framing standard
> link-aggregation
> This command and its keywords are now obsolete. Configuring the link aggregation feature is now accomplished in two parts. The first part requires the configuration of master port options via the link-aggregation command in the Ethernet Port Configuration mode. The second part configures the switching options for network deployments with multiple network devices via the link-aggregation switch to command in the Exec mode. For additional information see the System Administration Guide.
> 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.
> 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.
> mode 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.
> mode standby
> Sets the packet processing card in the slot to standby mode.
> Caution: Switching an active packet processing card to standby deletes all port configurations, including bindings, for the attached line cards.
> -noconfirm
> Executes 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.
> 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 { aps-mode | card-mode |port-mode } [-noconfirm ]
> default redundancy [ -noconfirm ]
> default
> Restores redundancy to port-mode type redundancy.
> aps-mode
> SGSN only.
> 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.)
> Important: 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 via 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.
> Important: 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.
> Important: Not supported on all platforms
> Important: 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.
> Important: 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
> redundant with card_number
> Identifies the neighboring top slot number of the card to pair with the XGLC being configured. card_number is an integer between 1 and 48.
> Important: Attempting to use this command with any card other than an XGLC takes 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
> service-type
> 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.
> service-type frame-relay
> Configures the card to operate in Frame Relay service mode.
> service-type mtp2
> Important: MTP2 functionality is not yet supported.
> Enables MTP2 type service to support narrowband transmissions.
> service-type pwe3-cesopsn
> Important: pwe3-cesopsn functionality has been replaced by mtp2.
> service-type unspecified
> This is the default mode for a CLC or CLC2 line card.
> Important: You must configure the line card to one of the available service types or the card will not function.
> -noconfirm
> Executes 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
> shutdown
> Configures a card for active service or terminates all processes on the card.
> Product
> All
> Privilege
> Security Administrator, Administrator
> Syntax
> [ no ] shutdown
> no
> no shutdown enables the card.
> Enter only the shutdown keyword to shut the card down.
> Usage
> Shut down a card to remove it from service or to enable a card to put it into service.
> Important: Do not use this command to remove a card from service for maintenance. Use the command card halt to remove a card for service to avoid changing or deleting the active-mode configuration. See the Exec Mode chapter.
> Important: Not supported on all platforms
> Example
> The following commands shutdown the card and switch a card to online, respectively.
> shutdown
> no shutdown
