Introduction

This document provides a sample configuration for ATM switched virtual circuits (SVCs) between two router endpoints without using Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI) messages to exchange and register ATM addresses on network switches. This document complements Configuring ATM SVCs With Static Map Statements, which uses ILMI for ATM address exchange and registration.

Typically, at a User-Network Interface (UNI) connecting a router ATM interface and a switch ATM interface, the two ATM devices exchange ILMI messages. The purpose of these messages varies with the user or network side. This table lists the configuration differences between using and not using ILMI.

 

ILMI Function

Configuration Steps With ILMI

Configuration Steps Without ILMI

User Side (Router)

  • Receive high-order portion of ATM address from the switch.

  • Register router's full ATM address with the switch.

  • Must configure a special control VC with ILMI encapsulation, by issuing the pvc 0/16 ilmi command on the main interface only.

  • Must issue the esi-address or nsap-address commands.

  • Must configure the full ATM address, by issuing the NSAP-address command. Cannot use the esi-address command.

  • Must configure the UNI version, by issuing the atm uni version command.

Network Side (Switch)

  • Send high-order portion of ATM address.

  • Receive complete ATM address from the router.

  • Register and install an ATM route to the router.

  • Must configure a special control VC with ILMI encapsulation. Configured by default on the Cisco LightStream 1010 and Cisco Catalyst 8500 series.

  • Must configure a static ATM route to the router, by issuing the atm route command.

  • Must configure the UNI version by issuing the atm uni version command. Disable ILMI auto negotiation first, by issuing the no atm auto-configuration command.

ATM interfaces create SVCs when they send call signaling messages to establish VCs on demand. All devices on the end-to-end path need a special control permanent virtual circuit (PVC) with Q.2931 Signaling ATM Adaptation Layer (QSAAL) encapsulation. This PVC carries the call signaling messages. Cisco router ATM interfaces support the ATM Forum's UNI 3.0, 3.1 and 4.0 signaling protocol specifications. For more information, refer to ATM UNI Signaling Support on Cisco Routers and Switches.

Call Routing and Address Resolution Procedures

In this section, you are presented with the information to configure the features described in this document.

The router needs to know the ATM address that matches to the destination IP address. This sample configuration uses static map commands, which are a Cisco IOS® Software feature that offer an alternative to the dynamic address-resolution mechanisms defined in RFC 1577 leavingcisco.com.

In addition, the ATM switches need to know the ATM route that defines the path to the destination. Switches consult an ATM routing table that uses ATM addresses. With ILMI, the routers register their ATM address with the directly connected switch. Without ILMI, the ATM switches need static ATM route statements.

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

Configuration Steps and show Commands

The following tables illustrate how to configure ATM SVCs without ILMI to exchange and register ATM addressing information. SVCs are supported on main interfaces and on multipoint subinterfaces only. They are not supported on point-to-point subinterfaces.

The following procedures need to take place for an SVC to be established between two router endpoints:

  1. When IP data needs to be forwarded to the destination, the router signals a call setup message and inserts the destination router's ATM address in the message.

  2. The directly connected ATM switch receives the call setup message, looks up the destination address in the ATM routing table, and forwards the message out the appropriate switch port.

  3. If the destination router accepts the call, the SVC is established. Data then flows over the SVC.

The router endpoints and network switches tear down the SVC if one of the routers disconnects or the SVC times out after going unused for a configurable period.

Step 1—Configure an IP Address and Static Map Statement
