F Commands

Note      Commands that are identical to those documented in the Cisco IOS software documentation have been removed from this chapter. Refer to Appendix D, "Removed and Changed Commands," of this command reference for a list of removed commands.

facility-alarm

To configure the temperatures so that the ATM switch router declares a major or minor alarm condition, use the facility-alarm command. You can configure explicit threshold temperatures (in degrees Celsius [C]) to override the defaults for major and minor alarms. Use the no form of this command to disable alarms for that threshold and reset the threshold to the default value.

facility-alarm core-temperature {major [temperature] | minor [temperature]}
no facility-alarm core-temperature {major [temperature] | minor [temperature]}
Syntax Description

major [temperature]

Major alarm threshold temperature threshold in degrees C. The default value is 53 degrees C.

minor [temperature]

Minor alarm threshold temperature threshold in degrees C. The default value is 45 degrees C.

Default

See Syntax Description

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

You cannot disable or adjust the system critical alarms threshold. A "critical" alarm is standard Telco terminology for the alarm just before the system powers itself off.

Example

The following example show how to configure facility alarms to 50 degrees C for major alarms, and 38 degrees C for minor alarms.

Switch(config)# facility-alarm core-temperature major 50
Switch(config)# facility-alarm core-temperature minor 38

failed-attempts

To configure the writing of records for initial connection attempts, use the failed-attempts ATM accounting file subcommand. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

failed-attempts [none | [regular | soft]]
no failed-attempts
Syntax Description

none

Does not record failed attempts.

regular

Records regular SVC/SVP numbers that originate or terminate at the switch interface.

soft

Records soft PVC/PVP numbers that originate or terminate at the switch interface.

Defaults

regular and soft

Command Mode

ATM accounting file

Example

The following example shows entering the ATM accounting file configuration mode and configuring failed-attempts to record failed attempts for SVC/SVP connections in the accounting file.

Switch(config)# atm accounting file acctng_file1
Switch(config-acct-file)# failed-attempts regular
Switch(config-acct-file)#

format

To format Flash memory, use the format privileged EXEC command.

format device1: [[device2:] [monlib-filename]]
Caution

The following formatting procedure erases all information in the Flash memory. To prevent the loss of important data, proceed carefully.
Syntax Description

device1:

Device to format. The colon (:) is required. Valid devices are as follows:

  • bootflash: This device is the internal Flash memory.
  • slot0: This device is the first PCMCIA slot on the route processor card.
  • slot1: This device is the second PCMCIA slot on the route processor card.

device2:

Device containing the monlib file to use for formatting device1. The colon (:) is required. Valid devices are as follows:

  • bootflash: This device is the internal Flash memory.
  • slot0: This device is the first PCMCIA slot and is the initial default device.
  • slot1: This device is the second PCMCIA slot on the route processor card.

monlib-filename

Name of the ROM monitor library file (monlib file) to use for formatting device1. The default monlib file is the one bundled with the system software.

Default

The default monlib file is the one bundled with the system software.

Command Mode

Privileged EXEC

Usage Guidelines

Use the format command to format internal Flash memory (bootflash) or your Flash memory cards.

In some cases, you might need to insert a new PCMCIA Flash memory card and load images or backup configuration files onto it. Before you can use a new Flash memory card, you must format it.

Flash memory cards have sectors that can fail. You can reserve certain Flash memory sectors as "spares" for use when other sectors fail. Use the format command to specify between 0 and 16 sectors as spares. If you reserve a small number of spare sectors for emergencies, you do not waste space because you can use most of the Flash memory card. If you specify zero spare sectors and some sectors fail, you must reformat the Flash memory card and thereby erase all existing data.

The monlib file is the ROM monitor library. The ROM monitor uses the monlib file to access files in the Flash file system.

In the command syntax, device1 is the device to format, and device2 contains the monlib file to use. When you omit the [[device2:][monlib-filename]] argument, the system formats device1 using the monlib file that is bundled with the system software. When you omit device2 from the [[device2:][monlib-filename]] argument, the system formats device1 using the named monlib file from the device specified by the cd command. When you omit monlib-filename from the [[device2:][monlib-filename]] argument, the system formats device1 using device2's monlib file. When you specify the whole [[device2:][monlib-filename]] argument, the system formats device1 using the specified monlib file from the specified device. Note that you can specify device1's own monlib file in this argument. When the system cannot find a monlib file, the system terminates the formatting process.

Example

The following example shows the format command that formats a Flash memory card inserted in slot 0 of the route processor card.

Switch# format slot0:
Running config file on this device, proceed? [confirm]y
All sectors will be erased, proceed? [confirm]y
Enter volume id (up to 31 characters): <Return>
Formatting sector 1 (erasing)
Format device slot0 completed

When the switch returns you to the EXEC prompt, the new Flash memory card is successfully formatted and ready for use.

framing (interface configuration)

Use the framing controller interface configuration command to select the frame type for the data line.

framing framingmode
Syntax Description

framingmode

For DS3, framingmode is as follows:

m23adm | m23plcp | cbitadm | cbitplcp

For E3, framingmode is as follows:

g832adm | g751adm | g751plcp

For E1, framingmode is as follows:

crc4adm | crc4plcp | pcm30adm | pcm30plcp

For T1, framingmode is as follows:

esfplcp | sfplcp | sfadmn | esfadmn

Defaults

DS3 default is cbitplcp.

E3 default is g832adm.

E1 default is crc4plcp.

T1 default is esfplcp.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

In the DS3 environment, this subcommand allows selection of DS3 framing mode to M23 ADM, M23 PLCP, C-Bit ADM, or C-Bit PLCP.

In the E3 environment, this subcommand allows selection of E 3 framing mode to G.751 PLCP, G.751 ADM, or G.832 ADM.

Example

The following example shows how to select g751plcp as the frame type.

Switch(config-if)# framing g751plcp
