Configuration Tasks
This section describes the most common configurations for the SPA-1CHOC3-CE-ATM on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers. For information about managing your system images and configuration files, see the following documents:
Referring an Interface on a SPA
Four CEoP SPAs can be installed in a SPA interface processor (SIP). Ports are numbered from left to right, beginning with 0. Single-port SPAs use only the port number 0. To configure or monitor SPA interfaces, you must specify the physical location of the SIP, SPA, and interface in the command line interface (CLI). The interface address format is slot/subslot/port , where:
- slot —Specifies the chassis slot number in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router in which the SIP is installed
- subslot —Specifies the secondary slot of the SIP in which the SPA is installed
- port —Specifies the number of the individual interface port on a SPA
The following example shows how to specify the first interface (0) on a SPA that is installed in subslot 1 of the SIP in chassis slot 0:
Router(config)# interface cem 0/1/0

Configuring the ATM Connection on a SPA
The following ATM SPAs are supported on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers:
SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM
From Cisco IOS XE Release 3.4S, ATM support for the SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM is introduced. When configured to operate in the ATM mode, CEoP SPAs support the ATM features.
The SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM CEoP supports ATM operation only in the clear-channel mode. In this mode, each SPA port provides a single high-speed ATM connection operating at the line rate of the port.
Guideline for Configuring ATM Connections on a SPA
Consider the following guideline before configuring the ATM connections on a SPA:
In the clear-channel mode, each port in the 2-Port Channelized T3/E3 ATM CEoP SPA provides a single ATM connection operating at the T3line rate.
Configuring a Port on a CEoP SPA for ATM Operations
To configure a port on a CEoP SPA for ATM operations, you must:
- Set the port to the ATM mode.
- Configure an ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC) for the port.
- Configure a pseudowire for the ATM interface.
Configuring an ATM Interface
The router creates an ATM interface for each T3port that is configured for the ATM. The interface is in the atm slot /subslot /port format, where slot /subslot identifies the SPA slot and subslot, and /port identifies the port, for example, atm 2/1/0.
SPA-24CHT1-CE-ATM
In Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10S, ATM support for the SPA-24CHT1-CE-ATM is introduced. When configured to operate in the ATM mode, CEoP SPAs support the ATM feature.
The SPA-24CHT1-CE-ATM CEoP is supported only in the clear-channel mode. In the clear-channel mode, each SPA port provides a single high-speed ATM connection operating at the line rate of the port.
Guidelines for Configuring ATM Connections on a SPA
Consider the following guideline before configuring the ATM connections on a SPA:
In the clear-channel mode, each port in the 24-Port Channelized T1/E1 ATM CEoP SPA provides a single ATM connection operating at the T1/E1 line rate.
Configuring a Port on a CEoP SPA for ATM Operations
To configure a port on a CEoP SPA for the ATM operations, you must:
- Set the port to the ATM mode.
- Configure an ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC) for the port.
- Configure a pseudowire for the ATM interface.
Configuring an ATM Interface
A Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router creates an ATM interface for each T1/E1port that is configured for the ATM. The interface is in the atm slot /subslot /port format, where slot /subslot identifies the SPA slot and subslot, and /port identifies the port, for example, atm 2/1/0.
The ATM configuration for SPA-24CHT1-CE-ATM is the same as the ATM configuration for SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM. For more information about the ATM configuration for SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM, see the Configuring the Card Type for the 2-Port Channelized T3/E3 ATM CEoP SPA.
Note | The SPA-24CHT1-CE-ATM is supported both T1 and E1 modes. |

Configuring Pseudowire Redundancy
CEoP SPAs support the L2VPN Pseudowire Redundancy feature, which provides backup service for the ATM and CEM pseudowires. Configuring a Pseudowire Redundancy is an optional task. The L2VPN Pseudowire Redundancy feature enables the network to detect a failure and reroute the Layer 2 (L2) service to another endpoint that can continue to provide the service. This feature provides the ability to recover from a failure of either the remote PE router or the link between the PE and CE routers.
Configure pseudowire redundancy by configuring two pseudowires for an ATM interface, a primary pseudowire and a backup (standby) pseudowire. If the primary pseudowire fails, the router uses the backup pseudowire in its place. When the primary pseudowire becomes operational again, the backup pseudowire is stopped and the router resumes the use of the primary pseudowire.
The following figure shows an example of pseudowire redundancy.
The following is a summary of the steps to configure pseudowire redundancy on the SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM.
Note | You must configure the backup pseudowire such that it connects to a router that is different from the one the primary pseudowire connects to. |

Configuring the 2-Port Channelized T3/E3 ATM CEoP SPA for the T3 Mode and the E3 Mode
This section describes how to configure the 2-Port Channelized T3/E3 ATM CEoP SPA. This SPA can be configured to operate in the ATM mode and the CEM mode. The router creates a logical interface to represent the mode that the SPA port is configured to run in. An ATM interface or a CEM interface is created for each T3 port that is configured for the ATM mode or the CEM mode. The interface has the format atm slot /subslot /port or cem slot /subslot /port, where slot /subslot identifies the SPA slot and subslot, and port identifies the port. The same port can be configured either in the CEM mode or in the ATM mode.
The following sections provide instructions for configuring the 2-Port Channelized T3/E3 ATM CEoP SPA:
Note | Up to 1000 PVCs and 255 PVPs are supported per SPA for the ATM mode. Up to 576 CEM groups are supported per SPA for the CEM mode. |

Configuring CEM
This section provides information about how to configure CEM on the SPA-1CHOC3-CE-ATM, SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM, and SPA-24CHT1-CE-ATM. The CEM provides a bridge between a time-division multiplexing (TDM) network and a packet network, such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). The router encapsulates the TDM data in the MPLS packets and sends the data over a CEM pseudowire to the remote provider edge (PE) router. Thus, functions as a physical communication link across the packet network.
- Prerequisites
- Configuring a CEM Group
- Configuring a CEM Class (Optional)
- Configuring a CEM Pseudowire
- Configuring TDM Local Switching
- Local Switching Redundancy
Prerequisites
Prior to configuring CEM on the SPA-1CHOC3-CE-ATM port, SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM port, and SPA-24CHT1-CE-ATM port, perform the following steps:
-
Configure one or more CEM groups on the port. Each CEM group represents a set of time slots from the TDM circuit attached to the port. When you configure a CEM group on the port, the router creates an interface that has the same slot/subslot/port number as the port (for example, cem 0/1/0).
-
Configure a pseudowire for each CEM group. The router maps the data from the time slots in each group to its pseudowire and sends the data over the MPLS network to the remote PE router. Use the xconnect command with encap mpls to create a pseudowire for each CEM group.
The following figure shows the following sample configurations for the SPA-1CHOC3-CE-ATM, SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM, and SPA-24CHT1-CE-ATM:
-
A TDM circuit is connected to port 0 on a SPA installed in slot 1, subslot 0 (T1 controller 1/0/0).
-
Two pseudowires (PW10 and PW20) are configured to carry TDM data across the MPLS network.
-
Two CEM groups (2 and 3) are configured for the data in the TDM time slots:
-
Time slots 1 through 6 are sent over pseudowire 10 to the remote PE router at 10.0.0.0.
-
Time slots 8 through 13 are sent to the PE router 11.0.0.0 over pseudowire 20.
-
The following table lists the number of CEM groups you can configure for each CEM SPA.
CEoP SPA |
Number of Supported CEM Groups |
---|---|
1-Port Channelized OC-3 STM1 ATM CEoP SPA |
576 |
2-Port Channelized T3/E3 ATM CEoP SPA |
576 |
24-Port Channelized T1/E1 ATM CEoP SPA |
191 |
Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions
Not all combinations of payload size and dejitter buffer size are supported. Payload size, or dejitter configurations are rejected at the CLI level in the CEM circuit mode on the SPA, if they are not compatible. Incompatible parameter modifications (if any), will be rejected, and the configuration will fall back to the old dejitter and payload parameters if the parameters are being applied through the CEM class template.
Configuring a CEM Group
To configure a CEM group to represent a CEM circuit on a SPA port, perform the following steps:
Note | The first cem-group command under the controller creates a CEM interface that has the same slot /subslot /port information as the controller. The CEM interface is removed when all of the CEM groups under the interface is deleted. |
- The CEM interface is always up, even if the controller state is down. This allows the CEM pseudowire to carry alarm information to the remote end.

Configuring a CEM Class (Optional)
To assign CEM parameters to one or more CEM interfaces, create a CEM class (template) that defines the parameters, and then apply the class to the interfaces.
CEM class parameters can be configured directly on the CEM circuit. The inheritance is as follows:
- CEM circuit (highest level)
- Class attached to CEM circuit
- Class attached to the CEM interface
If the same parameter is configured on the CEM interface and the CEM circuit, the value on the CEM circuit takes precedence.
To configure a CEM class, perform the following steps:
1. Router# configure terminal
2. Router(config)# class cem name
3. Router(config-cem-class)# command
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | Router# configure terminal |
Enters the global configuration mode. |
Step 2 | Router(config)# class cem name |
Creates a CEM class to configure the parameters in a template and apply the parameters at the CEM interface level.
|
Step 3 | Router(config-cem-class)# command |
Configures the CEM parameters by issuing the appropriate commands. See the Configuring CEM Parameters for information about the commands. |
In the following example, a CEM class (TDM-Class-A) is configured to set the payload size and dejitter buffer parameters:
class cem TDM-Class-A payload-size 512 dejitter-buffer 80 exit
In the following example, the CEM parameter settings from TDM-Class-A are applied to CEM interface 0/1/0. Any CEM circuits created under this interface inherit these parameter settings.
int cem 0/1/0 class int TDM-Class-A cem 6 xconnect 10.10.10.10 2 encap mpls exit
Configuring a CEM Pseudowire
To configure a pseudowire to transport a CEM circuit across the MPLS network, perform the following steps:
1. Router(config)# interface cem slot /subslot /port
2. Router(config-if)# cem group-number
3. Router(config-if-cem)# command
4. Router(config-if)# xconnect peer-router-id vcid {encapsulation mpls | pw-class name }
5. Router(config-if)# exit
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action | Purpose | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Step 1 | Router(config)# interface cem slot /subslot /port |
Selects the CEM interface in which the CEM circuit (group) is located, where slot/subslot is the SIP slot and SPA subslot, and port is the SPA port in which the interface exists. | ||
Step 2 | Router(config-if)# cem group-number |
Selects the CEM circuit (group) to configure a pseudowire. | ||
Step 3 | Router(config-if-cem)# command |
(Optional) Defines the operating characteristics for the CEM circuit. For command details, see the Configuring CEM Parameters. | ||
Step 4 | Router(config-if)# xconnect peer-router-id vcid {encapsulation mpls | pw-class name } |
Configures a pseudowire to transport TDM data from the CEM circuit across the MPLS network.
| ||
Step 5 | Router(config-if)# exit |
Exits interface configuration mode. |
Example
The following sample configuration shows a T1 port on which two CEM circuits (groups) are configured. Each CEM circuit carries data from the time slots of the TDM circuit attached to the port.
The two xconnect commands create pseudowires to carry the TDM data across the MPLS network. Pseudowire 2 carries the data from time slots 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, and 10 to the remote PE router at 10.10.10.10. Pseudowire 5 carries the data from time slots 5, 6, 7, 8, and 11 to the remote PE router at 10.10.10.11.

Configuring TDM Local Switching
TDM Local Switching allows switching of Layer 2 data between two CEM interfaces on the same router. The two CEM groups can be on the same physical interface or different physical interfaces; they can be on the same SPA, the same line card, or different line cards.
Consider the following guidelines before configuring CEM Phase 2 TDM Local Switching:
- Autoprovisioning is not supported.
- Out-of-band signaling is not supported.
- Port mode local switching is not supported on the CEM interface.
- Interworking with other interface types is not supported.
- The same CEM circuit cannot be used for both local switching and Xconnect.
- You can use CEM local switching between two CEM circuits on the same CEM interface.
- CEM local switching can be across a 24-Port Channelized T1/E1 ATM CEoP SPA, a 2-Port Channelized T3/E3 ATM CEoP SPA, or a 1-Port Channelized OC-3 STM1 ATM CEoP SPA.
To configure the CEoPS Phase 2 TDM Local Switching, perform the following steps:
1. Router# configure terminal
2. Router(config)# [no] connect name cem x/y/z circuit-id cem a/b/c circuit-id
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | Router# configure terminal |
Enters the global configuration mode. |
Step 2 |
Router(config)# [no] connect name cem x/y/z circuit-id cem a/b/c circuit-id Example: Router(config)# connect cem cem 0/1/0 cemckt1 cem 0/2/0 cemckt2 Example: Router(config)# no connect cem cem 0/1/0 cemckt1 cem 0/2/0 cemckt2 |
Configures a local switching connection between cemckt1 of CEM interface x/y/z and cemckt2 of CEM interface a/b/c. The no form of this command unconfigures a local switching connection between cemckt1 of the CEM interface x/y/z and cemckt2 of the CEM interface a/b/c. |
Verifying Switching Connections
Use the show connection, show connection all, show connection id conn id, and show connection conn name commands to verify the current switching connections.
Local Switching Redundancy
Local Switching Redundancy provides a backup attachment circuit (AC) when the primary attachment circuit fails. All the ACs must be on the same Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router.
The following combinations of CEM ACs are supported:
- CEM ACs on different SPAs on the same SIP
- CEM ACs on different SIPs on the same Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router
- Guidelines for Local Switching Redundancy
- Configuring a Backup Switched Connection
- Verifying Backup and Primary Circuits
Guidelines for Local Switching Redundancy
Local Switching Redundancy guidelines are as follows:
- Autoconfiguration of CEM interfaces is not supported.
- Only the tail-end AC can be backed up. If head end fails, there is no protection.
- The circuit type of the primary and backup AC must be identical (failover operation will not switch between different types of interfaces or different CEM circuit types).
- Backs up a local switching connection to cem-ckt3 of CEM interface cem3. Only one backup AC is allowed for each connection.
- Auto configuration of backup CEM circuits is not allowed.
- The CEM circuit that is used as a backup in a local switching connection cannot be used for Xconnect configurations.
- Dynamic modification of parameters in a local switching connection is not supported in a scenario where the tail-end segment is backed up to a segment using the backup command. If you want to modify the parameters in any of the three segments (head-end, tail-end, or backup), you must first unconfigure with the backup command, make the changes in the individual segments, and then reconfigure the backup with the backup command.
Configuring a Backup Switched Connection
To configure a backup switched connection, when the primary connection fails, perform the following procedure:
1. Router# configure terminal
2. Router(config)# [no] connect name cem x/y/z circuit-id cem a/b/c circuit-id
3. Router(config-connection)# backup interface cemx/y/z circuit-id
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | Router# configure terminal |
Enters the global configuration mode. |
Step 2 |
Router(config)# [no] connect name cem x/y/z circuit-id cem a/b/c circuit-id Example: Router(config)# connect cem cem 0/1/0 cemckt1 cem 0/2/0 cemckt2 |
Configures a local switching connection between cemckt1 of CEM interface x/y/z and cemckt2 of CEM interface a/b/c. The no form of this command unconfigures a local switching connection between cemckt1 of CEM interface x/y/z and cemckt2 of CEM interface a/b/c. |
Step 3 |
Router(config-connection)# backup interface cemx/y/z circuit-id Example: Router(config-connection)# backup interface cem 0/3/0 3 |
Backs up a locally switched CEM connection. |
Verifying Backup and Primary Circuits
Use the show xconnect all command to check the status of the backup and primary circuits.
Configuring Pseudowire Redundancy
The SPA-1CHOC3-CE-ATM, SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM, and SPA-24CHT1-CE-ATM support the L2VPN Pseudowire Redundancy feature that provides backup service for CEM pseudowires. Configuring a Pseudowire Redundancy is an optional task.The L2VPN Pseudowire Redundancy feature enables the network to detect a failure and reroute the Layer 2 (L2) service to another endpoint that can continue to provide service. This feature provides the ability to recover from a failure of either the remote PE router or the link between the PE router and the CE router.
Configure pseudowire redundancy by configuring two pseudowires for a CEM interface, a primary pseudowire and a backup (standby) pseudowire. If the primary pseudowire goes down, the router uses the backup pseudowire in its place. When the primary pseudowire becomes functional again, the backup pseudowire is brought down and the router resumes the use of the primary pseudowire.
The following figure shows an example of pseudowire redundancy.
To configure pseudowire redundancy on a SPA-1CHOC3-CE-ATM, SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM, or SPA-24CHT1-CE-ATM perform the following steps.
Note | You must configure the backup pseudowire to connect to a router that is different from the primary pseudowire. |
1. Router# enable
2. Router# configure terminal
3. Router(config)# interface cem slot/subslot/port
4. Router(config-if)# cem group-number

Step 4 | Router(config-if)# cem group-number |
Selects the CEM circuit (group) to configure a pseudowire. | ||
Step 5 | Router(config-if-cem)# xconnect peer-router-id vcid {encapsulation mpls | pw-class pw-class-name} |

Example
The following example shows pseudowire redundancy configured for a CEM circuit (group). In the following example, the xconnect command configures a primary pseudowire for CEM group 0. The backup peer command creates a redundant pseudowire for a CEM circuit (group).
int cem0/1/0 no ip address cem 0 xconnect 10.10.10.1 1 encap mpls backup peer 10.10.10.2 200 exit
Configuring T1 on a 24-Port Channelized T1/E1 ATM CEoP SPA

Configuring Clocking
This section provides information about how to configure clocking on the SPA-24CHT1-CE-ATM or the SPA-1CHOC3-CE-ATM, and contains the following topics:
- BITS Clock Support Receive and Distribute CEM SPA
- Configuring Clock Recovery
- Verifying Clock Recovery
- Configuring Out-of-Band Clocking
BITS Clock Support Receive and Distribute CEM SPA
You can use the BITS Clock Support—Receive and Distribute—CEM SPA feature to select and configure a clock and distribute it across the chassis to be used as the Transmit reference on all SPA ports.
The line card operates in three different modes, depending on the configuration and the configured source state.
-
Free-running—A line card that is not participating in network clocking or a line card that is actively sourcing the clock operates in the free-running mode. In this mode, the internal oscillator of the line card generates the reference clock to the backplane.
-
Normal—In the normal mode, the module synchronizes with an externally supplied network timing reference sourced from one of the chassis BITS inputs or recovered from a network interface. In this mode, the accuracy and stability of the output signal is determined by the accuracy and stability of the input reference.
-
Holdover—In the holdover mode, the network timing module generates a timing signal based on the stored timing reference used when operating in the normal mode. The holdover mode is automatically selected when the recovered reference is lost or has drifted excessively.
Note | All the line cards operate in the free-running mode until the network clock is configured. |
- Guidelines for Configuring the Network Clock
- Configuring the Network Clock
- Verifying the Network Clock Configuration
Guidelines for Configuring the Network Clock
To configure the network clock, consider the following guidelines:
- The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers operate in the free-running mode until the network clock is configured.
- When the network clocking configuration is present in the startup configuration, the clocking configuration is not applied until five minutes after the configuration has been parsed. This prevents clocking instability on the backplane when the interfaces or controllers come up out of order.
- Network clocking is enabled by default for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.
- If there is a source flap, an interval of 180 seconds exists before the source becomes valid and active.
- In the event of an Out-of-Range (OOR) switchover (revertive mode), the source switchover occurs when the clock offset crosses the -9.2 ppm or +9.2 ppm threshold. If OOR switchover occurs, you must reconfigure the source.
Configuring the Network Clock
To configure the network clock for a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router, perform the following procedure:
Note | Network clocking is not supported on the SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM. |
1. Router(config)# [no] network-clock select priority {interface | controller | slot | system type interface name [global][local]}
2. Router(config)# [no] network-clock revertive
3. Router(config)# controller sonet slot/subslot/port
4. Router(config-controller)# clock source {line | internal}
5. Router(config-controller)# exit
6. Router(config)# exit
7. Router# show network-clocks
8. Router# debug network-clock
9. Router# debug network-clock redundancy
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action | Purpose | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Step 1 | Router(config)# [no] network-clock select priority {interface | controller | slot | system type interface name [global][local]} |
Selects an interface or controller and configures it as a network clock source with a particular priority.
| ||
Step 2 | Router(config)# [no] network-clock revertive |
Configures the revertive mode on the network clock. When the revertive mode is configured and a previously unavailable higher-priority source comes up, this source becomes the active clock and the previous active source becomes the standby clock. The revertive mode is the default mode and is applicable for all types of interface failures. The alternate source is selected only if there is an interface failure; the alternate source is not selected when a source is supplying a bad clock. The no form of this command configures the nonrevertive mode. | ||
Step 3 | Router(config)# controller sonet slot/subslot/port |
Enters the Controller configuration (config-controller) mode. | ||
Step 4 | Router(config-controller)# clock source {line | internal} |
Enables network clocking and configures clocking on the interface.
| ||
Step 5 | Router(config-controller)# exit |
Exits Controller configuration mode and enters the global configuration mode. | ||
Step 6 | Router(config)# exit |
Exits global configuration mode and enters the Privileged EXEC mode. | ||
Step 7 | Router# show network-clocks |
Displays details about the configured clocks and the current operational clocks, and provides status information. | ||
Step 8 | Router# debug network-clock |
Helps in debugging the network clocking feature operation. | ||
Step 9 | Router# debug network-clock redundancy |
Enables high availability-related debugging. |
Verifying the Network Clock Configuration
Use the show network-clocks command to verify the output on the RP:
Router# show network-clocks Active source = SONET 0/1/0 Active source backplane reference line = Primary Backplane Clock All Network Clock Configuration --------------------------------- Priority Clock Source State Reason 1 SONET 0/1/0 Valid Current operating mode is Revertive Current OOR Switchover mode is Switchover There are no slots disabled from participating in network clocking
Configuring Clock Recovery
When configuring clock recovery, consider the following guidelines:
Adaptive Clocking
- SPA-1CHOC3-CE-ATM, SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM, or SPA-24CHT1-CE-ATM can be used as the clock source.
- The clock must be the same as that used by the router as the network clock. Any pseudowire can carry the clock.
- The minimum bundle size of the CEM pseudowires on the network that delivers robust clock recovery is 4 DS0s.
- The minimum packet size of the CEM pseudowires on the network that delivers robust clock recovery is 64 bytes.
- Effective from Cisco IOS XE Release 3.6.0S, the SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM supports adaptive clocking for the CEM mode. The SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM does not support Out-of-Band (OOB) clocking in the CEM mode due to lack of hardware support.
Differential Clock Recovery
- The SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM does not support differential clock recovery.
- The maximum number of differential clocks sourced from a 24-Port Channelized T1/E1 ATM CEoP SPA are 24.
- The 24-Port Channelized T1/E1 ATM CEoP SPA can recover up to 24 T1 or E1 clocks.
- Several bundles are sent from the same port. The bundle that is used for carrying the clock of the port is the bundle that is created for the port. Only pseudowires that include the first DS0 of a port, can carry differential clocks.
To configure clock recovery on a 24-Port Channelized T1/E1 ATM CEoP SPA, a 2-Port Channelized T3/E3 ATM CEoP SPA, or a 1-Port Channelized OC-3 STM1 ATM CEoP SPA, perform the following procedure:
1. Router(config)# recovered-clock slot subslot
2. Router(config-clock)# clock recovered clock-id {adaptive | differential} cem port cem-group
3. Router(config-clock)# clock reference {enhanced | internal}
4. Router(config-clock)# clock master
5. Router(config-clock)# clock slave
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | Router(config)# recovered-clock slot subslot |
Specifies the slot and subslot for the recovered clock. |
Step 2 | Router(config-clock)# clock recovered clock-id {adaptive | differential} cem port cem-group |
Specifies the recovered clock number and the clock recovery type. |
Step 3 | Router(config-clock)# clock reference {enhanced | internal} |
Specifies the clock reference. |
Step 4 | Router(config-clock)# clock master |
Configures the clock master. |
Step 5 | Router(config-clock)# clock slave |
Configures the clock slave. |
Applying the Recovered Clock to the Controller
To apply the recovered clock to the controller, perform the following steps:
1. Router(config)# controller {e1 | t1} slot/subslot/port
2. Router(config-controller)# vtg 2 t1 1 clock source recovered number
3. Router(config-controller)# vtg 2 t1 1 cem-group number timeslots number
4. Router(config-controller)# recovered-clock slot/subslot
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | Router(config)# controller {e1 | t1} slot/subslot/port |
Selects the controller. |
Step 2 | Router(config-controller)# vtg 2 t1 1 clock source recovered number |
Assigns a number to the recovered clock. |
Step 3 | Router(config-controller)# vtg 2 t1 1 cem-group number timeslots number |
Creates a CEM channel from one or more time slots of a T1 or E1. |
Step 4 | Router(config-controller)# recovered-clock slot/subslot |
Applies the recovered clock to the interface. |
Example for Configuring Clock Recovery
The following example shows how to configure clock recovery:
Configuration on CE1
controller t3 1/0/1 cablelength 224 t1 1 channel-group 1 timeslots 1-24 clock source internal
Note | The clock configuration is not shown as the internal clock by default. |
Configuration on PE1

configuration for applying recovered clock to controller:
controller T3 0/3/0 cablelength 224 t1 1 cem-group 1 timeslots 1-24 t1 1 clock source Recovered 1
Verifying Clock Recovery
To verify clock recovery, use the show recovered-clock command.
Router# show recovered-clock Recovered clock status for subslot 1/0 ---------------------------------------- Clock Mode Port CEM Status Frequency Offset(ppb) 1 ADAPTIVE 0 1 HOLDOVER 0 Router# show recovered-clock Recovered clock status for subslot 1/0 ---------------------------------------- Clock Mode Port CEM Status Frequency Offset(ppb) 1 ADAPTIVE 0 1 ACQUIRING -694
Configuring Out-of-Band Clocking
A TDM network requires a synchronized clock at each end of the connection (source and destination). This means that the source and destination clock signals must be synchronized with each other in order to maintain data integrity on the communication link.
On the other hand, a packet-switched network (PSN) does not use a clocking strategy, which means that the PSN does not provide frequency synchronization between the source and the destination routers. Therefore, to transmit TDM data across a PSN (such as an MPLS network), we need a way to deliver the clocking signal between the source and the destination routers.
Out-of-band clocking provides a way to deliver a clock signal between two SPAs. This allows TDM devices connected to the SPAs to communicate with each other. Dedicated pseudowires (called out-of-band clock channels) carry the timing signal between the sending and the receiving SPAs. When a TDM device sends data to a destination TDM device, the receiving SPA uses the out-of-band clock channel to recover the clock signal that was used to send the data.
By keeping the timing packets separate from data packets, out-of-band clocking delivers an extremely accurate timing signal. This timing accuracy is important for mobile wireless applications and other specialized applications that have very low tolerances for such things as packet delay variation (PDV), jitter, and latency in the network. In-band clocking (where timing information is derived from the data stream) does not provide a clock that is accurate enough for these applications.
To set up out-of-band clock channels, you must configure a master clock interface and a slave clock interface on the SPAs and configure pseudowires to connect the master and slave clocks. Instructions for performing these steps are provided later in this section.
Note | The SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM does not support Out-of-Band (OOB) clocking in the CEM mode due to lack of hardware support. |

Benefits of Out-Of-Bank Clocking
Out-of-band clocking provides the following benefits:
- Enables mobile wireless providers to migrate from TDM networks to PSNs in order to save on costs and improve scalability.
- CEM SPA equipment can ignore the contents of the timing packets that are sent over the out-of-band clock channel because the packets do not contain data.
- Uses the CEM SPA for applications that use something other than constant bit rate (CBR) data. For example, out-of-band clocking uses the SPA for 3G (data) wireless applications, which use AAL2 in variable bit rate (VBR) mode. In addition, out-of-band clocking uses the SPA for 2G (voice) applications.
- Provides recovered clock accuracy that complies with ITU-T G.823 and G.824 specifications, which enables the CEM SPA to be used in mobile and wireless applications (including voice) that require extreme synchronization accuracy.
- Provides an alternative clock-recovery mechanism when adaptive clocking cannot be deployed.
- Enables the CEM SPA to be the master clock in a PSN.
- Makes it possible to have two master clocks. Previously, only one master clock was possible.
Guidelines for Configuring Out-Of-Band Clocking
The following guidelines apply to out-of-band clocking on CEM SPA:
- The default packet size for out-of-band clock channels (CEM circuits) is 910 bytes.
- Out-of-band clocking can co-exist with Stateful SwitchOver (SSO), but it is not SSO compliant. Therefore, if a switchover occurs, the out-of-band clocking functionality is not available for a brief period of time while the feature is brought back online.
- A CEM SPA cannot be configured as both a master and slave clock. To reconfigure a SPA’s clock type, you must first remove the existing clock configuration (master or slave).
- Pseudowires for out-of-band clocking are configured under the virtual CEM interface that represents the recovered clock interface. This process differs from normal CEM pseudowires, which are configured under the port (controller interface). When no network clock is available, the virtual CEM interface goes down and the pseudowire is disabled. This process is reversed when a valid network clock becomes available again. Normal CEM interfaces never go down, even if the associated physical link is down.
- The master clock pseudowire and slave clock pseudowire should be on different CEM SPAs.
Router Sending Clock (Master Clock)
- You must select the common telecom 19.44MHz clock as the recovered clock to use for the master clock.
- A maximum of 64 out-of-band clock channels can be configured from the CEM SPAs that provides the master clock signal.
- The out-of-band clock channel (pseudowire) is configured under the virtual CEM interface that represents the SPA from which the master clock is recovered. The xconnect command used to create the clock channel must specify the destination for the clock signal.
- The out-of-band clock stream is sent in SAToP (unframed) format.
Router Recovering Clock (Slave Clock)
- The out-of-band clock signal is always recovered in adaptive mode. The clock signal can then be used to drive all of the ports on the CEM SPA.
- Two CEM circuits (a primary and a secondary out-of-band channel) can be configured under a slave clock interface, one for each of two master clock signals. This way, the SPA can receive a master clock signal from two separate sources (that is, two master clocks).
- Under the slave clock interface, the xconnect command (used to create the out-of-band clock channel) must specify the router from which the master clock is recovered.
Overview of Configuring Out-of-band Clocking Between Two CEM SPAs
The following section provides a high-level overview of the procedure for configuring out-of-band clocking between two CEM SPAs. Detailed steps are provided in the sections that follow.
Before you begin, determine which CEM SPAs have TDM devices connected to them. You must configure an out-of-band clock channel to deliver the clock signal from each SPA that sends TDM data to every destination SPA that receives the data.
- Use the recovered clock command to identify the CEM SPA that is to send TDM data across the MPLS network. This SPA’s clock is used as the master clock for out-of-band clocking.
-
Configure the master and slave clock interfaces to represent the source (clock master) and destination (clock slave) for the out-of-band clock signal. The master and slave clock interfaces (and pseudowires) should be configured on different SPAs.
- Configure the master clock interfac. This interface represents the master clock, which is distributed to all the destination CEM SPAs that receive data from the source TDM device connected to this SPA. (See the Creating the Master Clock Interface for instructions.)
- Configure a slave clock interface on each of the SPAs connected to the TDM devices that can receive data from the source TDM device. (See the Configuring the Slave Clock Interface for detailed instructions.)
Note | When you configure a master or slave clock interface, the router creates a virtual CEM interface to represent this out-of-band clock. The virtual CEM interface has the same slot and subslot information as the CEM SPA from which the master clock is recovered. The port number is always 24. For example, if the clock signal is recovered from the SPA in slot 0, subslot 1 (recovered-clock 0 1), the virtual CEM interface is virtual-cem0/1/24. |
-
Under both the master and slave clock interfaces, use the cem circuit-id
command to configure CEM circuits to represent the out-of-band channels that will distribute the clock signal over the MPLS network. Each CEM circuit represents a separate out-of-band channel for delivering the clock signal from the source (master clock) to a destination TDM device (slave clock). The out-of-band clock channel is created when you issue the xconnect command in the next step.
- Under the master clock interface, you can configure up to 64 CEM circuits, one for each of the destination TDM devices that will use this clock signal as its master clock.
- Under the slave clock interface (on the destination TDM device), you can configure one or two CEM circuits. Two CEM circuits are allowed because the clock slave can receive a clock signal from two master clocks.
Note | Each out-of-band clock channel requires two CEM circuits (one on the master clock interface and one on the slave clock interface). Each CEM circuit represents the CEM attachment circuit at one end of the out-of-band clock channel. |
-
Create the out-of-band channel for the clock signal by using the xconnect command to configure two pseudowires between the CEM circuit on the master clock interface and the CEM circuit on the slave clock interface. The master clock pseudowire and slave clock pseudowire should be on different SPAs; however, you should use the same VCID for both pseudowires.
- Under the master clock interface, configure a pseudowire to the destination device (slave clock).
- Under the slave clock interface (on the SPA that connects to the destination TDM device), configure a pseudowire to the router that contains the master clock interface.
Creating the Master Clock Interface
To create the master clock interface for out-of-band clocking, perform the following procedure.
1. Router(config)# recovered-clock slot subslot
2. Router(config-clock)# clock master

| ||
Step 2 | Router(config-clock)# clock master |
Specifies that the recovered clock is to be used as the master clock signal for out-of-band clocking. The router creates a virtual CEM interface for the master clock. Go to the following procedures to configure an out-of-band channel to use for the master clock. |
Configuring an Out-Of-Band Channel

Step 4 | Router(config-if-cem-xconn)# end |
Exits CEM interface configuration mode and returns you to privileged EXEC mode. |
Note | A CEM SPA cannot be configured as both master and slave at the same time. To reconfigure a SPA’s clock type, you must first remove the existing clock configuration. |
Configuring the Slave Clock Interface

Verifying Out-of-Band Clocking
This section lists the show commands that you can use to verify the out-of-band clocking configuration.
- Use the show ip interface briefcommand to display the virtual CEM interfaces that the router created to represent master and slave clock interfaces. The output in the following example shows only the virtual CEM interface. Information for all other interfaces is omitted from the display.
Router# show ip int brief . . . Virtual-cem0/1/24 unassigned YES unset up up . . .
- Use the show cem circuitcommand to display a list of CEM circuits configured on the SPA. The command displays both normal and out-of-band clocking CEM circuits.
Router# show cem circuit CEM Int. ID Line Admin Circuit AC -------------------------------------------------------------- CEM0/1/0 1 DOWN DOWN Active --/-- Virtual-cem0/1/24 DOWN UP Active UP
- Use the show cem interface virtual-cem slot/subslot/port command to display information about a particular virtual CEM interface:
Router# show cem interface virtual-cem 0/1/24 (Virtual-cem0/1/24) State: CONFIG COMPLETE Virtual CEM Slave Clock Interface Slot 0, Slot Unit 88, VC -1 Total cem circuits: 1 Cem circuits up : 1 Cem circuits down : 0
- Use the show run interface virtual-cem slot/subslot/port command to display the current running configuration pertaining to the specified interface:
Router# show run int virtual-cem 0/1/24 Building configuration... Current configuration : 117 bytes ! interface Virtual-cem0/1/24 no ip address cem 1 xconnect 20.0.0.1 300 encapsulation mpls ! end
- Use the show run | begin recovered command to display the recovered clock used for out-of-band clocking:
Router# show run | begin recovered recovered-clock 0 1 clock master
- On the clock slave, you can use the show recovered-clock command to display the status of the out-of-band clock:
Router# show recovered-clock Recovered clock status for subslot 0/1 ---------------------------------------- Clock Mode Port CEM Status Frequency Offset(ppb) ENHANCED PRIMARY 0 HOLDOVER 0
Removing the Out-of-Band Clocking Configuration
Use the following commands to delete the various components used for out-of-band clocking:
- To remove a CEM circuit, use the no cem circuit-id command (where circuit-id is the number assigned to the circuit). Issue the command under the virtual CEM interface where the circuit exists.
Router# conf t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)# int virtual-cem 0/1/24 Router(config-if)# no cem 1 Router(config-if)# end
- To remove a virtual CEM interface, use the no clock master or no clock slave command in recovered-clock configuration mode, as shown in the following examples. Note that the virtual CEM interface is not deleted when you remove the last CEM circuit under the interface.
Router# conf t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)# recovered-clock 0 1 Router(config-clock)# no clock master Router(config-clock)# end Router#
In the following example, the no clock slave command deletes the slave clock interface for the recovered clock (which is 0/1):
Router# config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)# recovered-clock 0 1 Router(config-clock)# no clock slave Router(config-clock)# end Router#
Example: Out-of-Band Clocking Configuration
This section provides an example of how to configure out-of-band clocking between two CEM SPAs. It is divided into several different configuration sections.

Configuring the Slave Clock Interface
The following example shows how to configure a CEM SPA as a slave clock and verify the configuration:
Router# config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)# recovered-clock 0 1 Router(config-clock)# clock slave Router(config-clock)# end Router# Router# show run | begin recovered-clock recovered-clock 0 1 clock slave
Verifying the Virtual CEM Interface Configuration
The router creates a virtual CEM interface when you configure either the master or slave clock interface. You can view the interface using the show ip interface brief command:
Router# show ip int br ... Virtual-cem0/1/24 unassigned YES unset up up ... Router# sh run int Virtual-cem 0/1/24 Building configuration... Current configuration : 50 bytes ! interface Virtual-cem0/1/24 no ip address end
Example: Configuring CEM Circuits for Out-of-Band Clocking
This section provides an example of how to configure CEM circuits and pseudowires for out-of-band clocking. The sample configuration shows the circuits and pseudowires configured on a CEM SPA in PE1, which sends TDM data to another CEM SPA in PE2.
You configure CEM circuits for the master and slave clocks under the virtual CEM interface that represents the recovered clock that is being used for out-of-band clocking. This differs from normal CEM circuits, which are configured under the SPA controller through the cem-group command.
Issuing the xconnect command under the master and slave CEM circuits, configures an out-of-band clock channel to send the clock signal from the sending SPA to the receiving SPA. Note that normal CEM pseudowires are configured under the SPA controller interface.
Out-of-Band Clocking (PE1)
PE1# config t PE1(config)# int virtual-cem 0/1/24 PE1(config-if)# cem 1 PE1(config-if-cem)# xconnect 20.0.0.1 200 encap mpls PE1(cfg-if-cem-xconn)# end PE1# show run int Virtual-CEM 0/1/24 Building configuration... Current configuration : 117 bytes ! interface Virtual-cem0/1/24 no ip address cem 1 xconnect 20.0.0.1 200 encapsulation mpls ! end
Out-of-Band Clocking (PE2)
PE2# conf t PE2(config)# int virtual-cem 0/1/24 PE2(config-if)# cem 1 PE2(config-if-cem)# xconnect 10.0.0.1 200 encap mpls PE2(cfg-if-cem-xconn)# end PE2# show run int Virtual-CEM 0/1/24 Building configuration... Current configuration : 117 bytes ! interface Virtual-cem0/1/24 no ip address cem 1 xconnect 10.0.0.1 200 encapsulation mpls ! end
Configuring CEM Parameters
The following sections describe the parameters you can configure for CEM circuits.
Note | The CEM parameters at the local and remote ends of a CEM circuit must match; otherwise, the pseudowire between the local and remote PE routers will not come up. |
- Configuring Payload Size (Optional)
- Setting the Dejitter Buffer Size
- Setting the Idle Pattern (Optional)
- Enabling the Dummy Mode
- Setting the Dummy Pattern
- Shutting Down a CEM Channel
Configuring Payload Size (Optional)
To specify the number of bytes encapsulated into a single IP packet, use the pay-load size command. The size argument specifies the number of bytes in the payload of each packet. The range is from 32 to 1313 bytes.
Default payload sizes for an unstructured CEM channel are as follows:
- E1 = 248 bytes
- T1 = 192 bytes
- DS0 = 32 bytes
- T3/E3 = 1024 bytes
Default payload sizes for a structured CEM channel depend on the number of time slots that constitute the channel. Payload size (L in bytes), number of time slots (N), and packetization delay (D in milliseconds) have the following relationship: L = 8*N*D. The default payload size is selected in such a way that the packetization delay is always 1 millisecond. For example, a structured CEM channel of 16xDS0 has a default payload size of 128 bytes.
The payload size must be an integer of the multiple of the number of time slots for structured CEM channels.
Setting the Dejitter Buffer Size
To specify the size of the dejitter buffer used to compensate for the network filter, use the dejitter-buffer size command. The configured dejitter buffer size is converted from milliseconds to packets and rounded up to the next integral number of packets. Use the size argument to specify the size of the buffer, in milliseconds. The range is from 1 to 500 ms; the default is 5 ms.
Setting the Idle Pattern (Optional)
To specify the idle pattern, use the [no] idle-pattern pattern1 command. The payload of each lost CESoPSN data packet must be replaced with the equivalent amount of the replacement data. The range for pattern is from 0x0 to 0xFF; the default idle pattern is 0xFF.
Enabling the Dummy Mode
The dummy mode enables a bit pattern for filling in for lost or corrupted frames. To enable dummy mode, use the dummy-mode [last-frame | user-defined] command. The default is last-frame. The following is an example:
Router(config-cem)# dummy-mode last-frame
Setting the Dummy Pattern
If dummy mode is set to user defined, you must use the dummy-pattern pattern command to configure the dummy pattern. The range for pattern is from 0x0 to 0xFF. The default dummy pattern is 0xFF. The following is an example:
Router(config-cem)# dummy-pattern 0x55
Shutting Down a CEM Channel
To shut down a CEM channel, use the shutdown command in CEM configuration mode. The shutdown command is supported only under CEM mode and not under the CEM class.

Configuring AIS and RAI Alarm Forwarding in the CESoPSN Mode on the CEoP SPAs
This feature allows grooming of traffic from several different cell-site fractional T1/E1s via CEM, through an MPLS cloud, on to a single aggregate T1/E1 going to the BSC.
This feature provides the following functionalities:
- By default, AIS and RAI alarms are not forwarded on T1/E1s having the CESoPSN mode configured on the SPA-1CHOC3-CE-ATM, SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM, and SPA-24CHT1-CE-ATM even if one or all of the CESoPSN groups terminating on the T1/E1 receives AIS or RAI notification from the corresponding remote CESoPSN peers across the PSN.
- AIS forwarding can be enabled on a per-T1/E1 basis on the SPA-1CHOC3-CE-ATM, SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM, and SPA-24CHT1-CE-ATM. This ensures that the PE transmits AIS on the T1/E1 whenever one or more CESoPSN groups configured on it receives AIS notification from the remote CESoPSN peers across the PSN.
- RAI forwarding can be enabled on a per-T1/E1 basis on the SPA-1CHOC3-CE-ATM, the SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM, and the SPA-24CHT1-CE-ATM. This ensures that the PE transmits RAI on the T1/E1 whenever one or more CESoPSN groups configured on it receives RAI notification from the remote CESoPSN peers across the PSN.
