Introduction

This document contains examples of Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) and Permanent Virtual Path (PVP) internal cross-connections of a 6400 Universal Access Concentrator (UAC) that has one Node Route Processor (NRP) adapter and one Node Switch Processor (NSP) adapter installed. Also discussed in this document are direct encapsulation and class-int types of encapsulation methods for bridging and routing.

Prerequisites

There are no specific prerequisites for this document.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on the software and hardware versions below.

• Cisco 6400 UAC with NRP/NSP installed

The information presented in this document was created from devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If you are working in a live network, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command before using it.

Configuring PVCs

A PVC is a permanent logical connection that you must configure manually, from source to destination, through the ATM network. After it is configured, the ATM network maintains the connection at all times; that is, the connection is always up whether or not there is traffic to send.

Note: To find additional information on the commands used in this document, use the Command Lookup Tool (registered customers only) .

The Cisco 6400 uses PVCs to pass traffic between the node line card (NLC) ATM interfaces via the NSPs and NRPs. Typically, each subscriber is bound to a specific NRP and should be configured as a separate PVC.

Note: PVC-DISCOVERY is not supported with this type of setup.

The following is an example of PVC Internal Cross-Connections on a 6400 NSP card:

interface ATM8/0/0
 no ip address
 no ip directed-broadcast
 no atm ilmi-keepalive
 atm pvc 1 34 interface ATM1/0/0 1 34

Configuring PVPs

A PVP, or VP tunnel, allows you to connect two ATM switch routers at different locations across a public ATM network that does not support ATM signaling. Signaling traffic is mapped into the PVP, and the switches allocate a virtual channel connection (VCC) on that VP instead of the default VP 0. This mapping allows the signaling traffic to pass transparently through the public network.

Note: Configuring "PVC-DISCOVERY" is not supported with this type of setup.

The following is an example of PVP Internal Cross-Connections on a 6400 NSP card:

NSP Adapter
--------------- 
 interface ATM8/0/0
  no ip address
  no ip directed-broadcast
  no atm ilmi-keepalive
  atm pvp 1 interface ATM1/0/0 1

Note: Any traffic that comes in from the DSLAM on interface ATM8/0/0 with a value of VPI=1 will be forwarded to interface ATM1/0/0 with VPI=1. The VCI value will not be configured on the NSP. The NRP and the network side of the DSLAM will each have a VPI/VCI configured.

Configuring PVP, Routing, and Bridging

• Cisco 6400 NRP

• Cisco 6400 NSP

The following configuration supports connections for two Cisco DSL devices (CPE/modem/router). The Cisco 6400 NSP is configured for PVP internal cross-connections and the Cisco 6400 NRP is configured for PVC VPI/VCI pairs.

Note: All traffic that comes in from the DSLAM on interface ATM8/0/0 with a value of VPI=1 will be forwarded to interface ATM1/0/0 with VPI=1. The VCI remains the same. The NRP needs to be configured with proper VPI/VCI values.
