The following sections are included in this configuration guide:

Product Description

The OC-12 ATM line card is a trunk uplink for the Cisco 10000 which provides IP packet routing over ATM virtual circuit connections using a single mode fiber intermediate reach SC connector (Figure 1).


Figure 1: OC-12 ATM Line Card


The OC-12 ATM line card is a standard implementation of ATM over SONET switching and supports the following features:

Prerequisites and Preparation

Before you perform any of the procedures in this guide, we recommend that you:

Safety Guidelines

Before you begin the line card installation procedure, review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the equipment. Before you install, configure, or perform maintenance on the router, you should also review the safety warnings listed in the Cisco 10000 ESR Hardware Installation Guide.

Safety Warnings

Safety warnings appear throughout this publication in procedures that, if performed incorrectly, may harm you. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement. The following warning is an example of a safety warning. It identifies the warning symbol and associates it with a bodily injury hazard.


Warning This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.


Note   If you need translations of the safety warning, see the Cisco 10000 ESR Hardware Installation Guide.

Installation Guidelines

This section contains guidelines for the following:

The Cisco 10000 system is hot-swappable, which means you can remove and replace line cards while the system is operating. It is not necessary to notify the software or reset the system power. This feature allows you to add, remove, or replace line cards while the system maintains all routing information and ensures session preservation.


Caution To avoid erroneous failure messages, remove or insert only one line card at a time. Also, after you insert or remove a line card, allow at least 15 seconds before you insert or remove another line card so that the system can reinitialize and note the current configuration of all interfaces.


Caution To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, handle line cards by the faceplate or the card carrier edges only. Avoid touching the line card printed circuit board, components, or any connector pins.

New Installation Guidelines

You must configure a new installation of the OC-12 ATM line card using the configure command. For information about configuring the OC-12 ATM line card, see the Cisco 10000 ESR Software Configuration Guide.

Replacement Installation Guidelines

If an OC-12 ATM line card is replaced (in the same slot), the system automatically downloads the necessary configuration information from the PRE; there is no need to configure the new line card. After the information is downloaded, the system recognizes only those interfaces that match the previous OC-12 ATM line card configuration (those configured as Up).

Required Tools and Equipment

You need the following tools and equipment to install the OC-12 ATM line card:

Installing or Replacing the OC-12 ATM Line Card

This section describes how to install or replace the OC-12 line card in the Cisco 10000 chassis. It contains the following procedures:

Removing the Front Cover

Use the following procedure to remove the front cover from the system. If your system does not use a front cover, go to the "Installing an OC-12 ATM Line Card" section.


Step 1   Unlock each bezel plug by inserting the tip of a flat-blade screwdriver between the top and bottom sections of the plug, and then rotating the screwdriver to unlock the top portion of the plug (Figure 2).

Repeat this procedure for all four bezel plugs and then remove the plugs.


Figure 2: Unlocking the Bezel Plugs


Step 2   Remove the cover by lifting it up slightly and then pulling it toward you (Figure 3).


Figure 3: Removing the Front Cover



Installing an OC-12 ATM Line Card

Use the following procedure to install the OC-12 ATM line card into any of the eight line card slots (slots 1through 4 and slots 5 through 8) available in the Cisco 10000 chassis.


Note   If you are replacing the OC-12 ATM line card, see the "Removing an OC-12 ATM Line Card" section before you begin this procedure.


Step 1   Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame (Figure 4).


Figure 4: ESD Chassis Connection


Step 2   Loosen the top and bottom captive screws on the blank faceplate and slide it out of the slot (Figure 5).


Figure 5: Removing the Blank Faceplate


Step 3   Grasp the faceplate of the line card with one hand and place your other hand under the card carrier (to support the weight of the card). Position the card in front of the card cage slot.

Step 4   Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the line card with the upper and lower guides in the chassis, and slide the line card into the slot until you can feel it begin to seat in the backplane connectors (Figure 6).


Figure 6: Inserting the Line Card


Step 5   Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers toward each other (until they are parallel to the faceplate) to firmly seat the card in the backplane (Figure 7).

The line card cycles through its power-on self-test. The Fail LED stays on briefly (2 to 3 seconds) and then shuts off. If the Fail LED remains on, go to the "Troubleshooting the Installation" section.


Figure 7: Closing the Ejector Levers


Step 6   Secure the line card in the chassis by tightening the top and bottom captive screws (Figure 8).


Figure 8: Captive Screw Locations



Caution To ensure that there is adequate space for additional line cards, always tighten the captive screws on each newly installed line card before you insert any additional line cards. These screws prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.


Configuring the Line Card

After the OC-12 ATM line card is successfully installed, you can configure the card for network use. For information about configuring the OC-12 ATM line card, see the Cisco 10000 ESR Software Configuration Guide.


Note   You do not need to configure the OC-12 ATM line card if you plan to perform a replacement installation in the same chassis slot. The system automatically downloads the necessary configuration information from the PRE.

Removing an OC-12 ATM Line Card

Use the following procedure to remove a faulty OC-12 ATM line card from the chassis:


Step 1   Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame (Figure 9).


Figure 9: ESD Chassis Connection


Step 2   Loosen the top and bottom captive screws on the line card (Figure 10).


Figure 10: Captive Screw Locations


Step 3   Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers away from each other to disengage the line card from the backplane (Figure 11).


Figure 11: Opening the Ejector Levers


Step 4   Slide the line card out of the slot and place it on an antistatic surface, or in an antistatic bag.

Step 5   See the "Installing an OC-12 ATM Line Card" section for instructions to install a new line card.

If you are not installing a replacement line card, install a blank faceplate in the slot.


Warning Do not operate the system unless all slots contain a line card or a blank faceplate. Blank faceplates are necessary in empty slots to prevent exposure to hazardous voltages, to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) that may disrupt other equipment, and to direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis.


Troubleshooting the Installation

Refer to Figure 12 and Table 1 for descriptions of the LEDs on the OC-12 ATM line card. Follow the instructions in Table 2 to troubleshoot the installation.

    Router(config)# interface atm 7/0/0.1
    Router(config-subif)# pvc 0/101
    Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
     
    

OC-12 ATM Line Card Interface Configuration Samples

This section provides sample procedures for creating subinterfaces, permanent virtual circuits (PVCs), virtual circuit (VC) classes, and for enabling Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI).

Creating a Subinterface

Use the following procedure to create a subinterface.


Step 1   Divide the ATM interface into subinterfaces using the interface command. You can create either a point-to-point or multipoint subinterface.

In the following example, multipoint subinterface number 1 is created on an OC-12 ATM line card in slot 2.

Router(config)# interface atm 2/0/0.1 multipoint
Router(config-subif)#
 

Step 2   Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface using the ip address configuration subcommand, as shown in the following example:

Router(config-subif)# ip address 172.27.48.209 255.255.0.0
Router(config-subif)#
 

You have created interface 2/0/0.1. To enter this interface, use the following command:

Router(config)# interface atm 2/0/0.1
Router(config-subif)# 
 

Creating a PVC

You can create up multiple PVCs on the OC-12 ATM interface. You can create PVCs on the main interface or on a subinterface.

To create a PVC


Step 1   Enter interface or subinterface configuration mode.

Use the pvc command to specify a virtual path identifier (VPI) value between 0 and 255 and a virtual channel identifier (VCI) value between 0 and 65535. The following example creates a PVC with a VPI value of 0 and VCI value of 100 on a subinterface.

Router(config-subif)# pvc 0/100
Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
 

Step 2   Assign a peer IP address to the PVC using the protocol ip configuration subcommand, as in the following example:

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# protocol ip 172.16.32.49
Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
 

Creating a VC Class

This procedure demonstrates how to create an ATM VC class. An ATM VC class is a PVC boilerplate—a PVC description that you can apply to one or more PVCs.


Step 1   To create a PVC boilerplate, use the global configuration mode vc-class atm command. The following example creates the ATM VC class named boston.

Router(config)# vc-class atm boston
Router(config-vc-class)#
 

Step 2   Enter commands to describe the ATM VC class named boston. This example shows how to specify that the class uses AAL5+MUX encapsulation and configure a variable bit rate-nonreal time (VBR-NRT) PVC.

Router(config-vc-class)# encaps aal5mux ip
Router(config-vc-class)# vbr-nrt 30000 20000 128
Router(config-vc-class)# exit
Router(config)#
 

You have created a VC class named boston. The next procedure describes how to apply this class to a PVC or subinterface.


Applying a VC Class

You can apply a VC class (created in the previous procedure) to a PVC or an interface.

    Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.1
    Router(config-subif)# class-int boston
    Router(config-subif)#
     
    
    Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.2
    Router(config-subif)# pvc 0/102
    Router(config-if-atm-vc)# class-vc boston
    Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
    

You have completed the steps for assigning a VC class to a PVC.

Enabling ILMI PVC Discovery

You can enable ILMI to automatically discover PVCs on neighboring switches and duplicate those PVC entries on the OC-12 ATM line card.

To enable ILMI


Step 1   Create PVC 0/16 on the main interface, as shown in the following example:

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
Router(config-if)# pvc 0/16 ilmi
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit
Router(config-if)#

Step 2   In the following example, ILMI PVC discovery is enabled for the OC-12 ATM line card.

Router(config-if)# atm ilmi-pvc-discovery 
 

You have completed the steps required for running ILMI PVC discovery. You can use the show atm pvc command to display the PVCs on the Cisco 10000 ESR.


Completing a Configuration

This section offers general information on completing a configuration of an OC-12 ATM line card.


Step 1   After you configure the interfaces for ATM, you may need to enter interface configuration mode and specify routing protocols, network addresses, and so on.

Step 2   After you have included all of the configuration subcommands to complete the configuration, enter Ctrl-Z (hold down the Control key while you press Z) to exit configuration mode.

Step 3   Write the new configuration to memory:

Router# copy running-config startup-config
 

The system displays an OK message when the configuration is stored. After you have completed your configuration, you can check it by using show commands.


OC-12 ATM Commands

The OC-12 ATM line card consists of a single OC-12 interface. You can put all the PVCs on this interface, or you can create subinterfaces. This section describes the principal commands for customizing interfaces and PVCs:

Global Configuration Command

A PVC boilerplate is a PVC description that you can apply to one or more PVCs or interfaces.

To create a PVC boilerplate, use the global configuration mode vc-class atm command.

vc-class atm class_name

Where class_name is any word that describes the class.

After you create the class, you enter VC class configuration mode. In this mode, you describe the action you want the class to take by entering commands and arguments. These commands and arguments are described in the "ATM PVC Commands" section.

In the following example, an ATM VC class named cambridge is created and defined. This example shows how to specify that the class uses AAL5+MUX encapsulation and a VBR-NRT PVC.

Router(config)# vc-class atm cambridge
Router(config-vc-class)# encaps aal5mux ip
Router(config-vc-class)# vbr-nrt 30000 20000 128
Router(config-vc-class)# exit
Router(config)#
 

For information on applying a VC class name, see the "Attaching an ATM VC Class to an Interface" section and the "Attaching an ATM VC Class to a PVC" section.

Interface and Subinterface Commands

This section describes principal commands for configuring ATM interfaces and subinterfaces. This section describes the following global configuration commands:

Creating and Entering Subinterfaces

Use the interface command to divide the OC-12 ATM interface into multiple subinterfaces to simplify management of the card, create interfaces with different MTU sizes, and create connections to different networks.

interface atm slot/subslot/port.subinterface type
no interface atm slot/subslot/port.subinterface type
 

Where:

To enter the subinterface at a later time, you do not need to specify the type.

To remove a subinterface and its PVCs, use the no interface command. To change a subinterface type, you must first remove the subinterface.

Examples:

    Router(config)# interface atm 1/0/0.1 point-to-point
    Router(config-subif)#
    

    Router(config)# interface atm 1/0/0.1
    Router(config-subif)#
     
    
  If you want multiple PVCs to go to the same network, you must create a multipoint subinterface. For example:
    Router(config)# interface atm 4/0/0.2 multipoint
    Router(config-subif)#
     
    
  After creating the subinterface, you can create PVCs that go to the same network. Figure 14 shows a multipoint subinterface on a fully meshed network. Fully meshed indicates that any workstation can communicate with any other workstation.

Figure 14: Multipoint ATM Configuation


Table 5 provides the configuration commands used to configure the multipoint connections in the network shown in Figure 14.


Table 5: Multipoint Configuration Example

    broadcast   pvc 0/37   protocol ip 131.108.168.2
    broadcast

Attaching an ATM VC Class to an Interface

To attach an ATM VC class to an interface, use the class-int command. If you customize a PVC, its customization takes precedence over the interface class.

class-int class_name
 

Where class_name is the name of the class created using the global configuration class-vc atm command.

In the following example, a VC class named cambridge is created and attached to subinterface 3/0/0.1.

Router(config)# vc-class atm cambridge
Router(config-vc-class)# encaps aal5mux ip
Router(config-vc-class)# vbr-nrt 30000 20000 128
Router(config-vc-class)# exit
Router(config)# interface atm 3/0/0.1
Router(config-subif)# class-int cambridge
 

Creating ATM PVPs

To create a permanent virtual path (PVP) used to multiplex one or more VBR-NRT VCs, use the atm pvp interface configuration command.

atm pvp vpi peak-rate [no-f4-oam]
no atm pvp vpi 
 

Where:

To verify the configuration of a PVP, use the show atm vp EXEC command.

The following example shows how to create a PVP with a peak rate of 50000 Kbps. The subsequent VCs created are multiplexed onto this virtual path.

Router(config)# interface atm 7/0/0
Router(config-if)# atm pvp 25 50000
Router(config-if)# pvc 25/100
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt 10000 5000 16
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit
Router(config-if)# pvc 25/101
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt 10000 5000 16
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit
Router(config-if)# pvc 25/102
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt 10000 5000 16
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit
Router(config)# 

Creating a PVC

You can create a unspecified bit rate (UBR) PVC by entering the pvc command:

pvc [word] [vpi_value/]{vci_value} [ilmi]
 

Where:

By default, the pvc command creates a UBR PVC; to create a VBR-NRT PVC, see the "Configuring VBR-NRT" section.


Note   You can only create one PVC on a point-to-point interface. Multiple PVCs can be created on a multipoint interface.

Examples:

    Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
    Router(config-if)# pvc 105
    Router(config-if-atm-vc)
    

    Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.1
    Router(config-subif)# pvc 2/102
    Router(config-if-atm-vc)#
    

Enabling ATM ILMI

Use the atm ilmi-enable interface configuration command to enable the ILMI on a port.

atm ilmi-enable 
no atm ilmi-enable
 

The default is ILMI is enabled, but you should disable the ILMI if the peer does not support ILMI. In order for peers to exchange ILMI information, you must create PVC 0/16, using the ilmi argument.

The following example disables ILMI:

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
Router(config-if)# no atm ilmi-enable

Activating ATM ILMI PVC Discovery

To activate ATM PVC discovery, use the atm ilmi-pvc-discovery interface configuration command. This command causes ILMI-compliant devices to propagate PVCs.

atm ilmi-pvc-discovery [subinterface]
no atm ilmi-pvc-discovery [subinterface]
 

Where:


Note   The subinterface argument associates PVCs only with subinterfaces that have already been created. If there is no subinterface for a VPI value, the system associates the PVC with the main interface.

The following example shows how to enable PVC Discovery on the ATM main interface 7/0/0 on an OC-12 ATM line card that has ILMI enabled.

Router(config)# interface atm 7/0/0
Router(config-if)# pvc 0/16 ilmi
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit
Router(config-if)# atm ilmi-pvc-discovery 

Specifying the ATM ILMI Keep-Alive Rate

To specify the ILMI keep-alive rate, enter the atm ilmi-keepalive command.

atm ilmi-keepalive [seconds [retry counts]]
 

Where:

The default value for seconds is 5000 and for retry counts is 4.

The following example shows how to enable ILMI keepalives for the ATM interface 5/0/0:

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
Router(config-if)# atm ilmi-keepalive 10000 retry 3

Configuring ATM Clock

To configure the clock source as internal, use the atm clock internal command:

atm clock internal
no atm clock internal
 

The default clock setting is no atm clock internal, which means that clocking is derived from the line.

In the following example, clocking is set from the router.

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
Router(config-if)# atm clock internal

Specifying the ATM Flag

To specify the ATM flag value for the s1s0 bit, use the atm flag s1s0 command. This command is typically used to meet a standards requirement or to ensure interoperability with another vendor's equipment.

atm flag s1s0 value
 

Where:

The default s1s0 value is 0.

The following example assigns a value of 2 to the ATM flag:

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
Router(config-if)# atm flag s1s0 2 

Specifying ATM Scrambling

To specify an ATM scrambling mode, use the atm scrambling command:

atm scrambling [cell-payload | sts-stream]
no atm scrambling [cell-payload | sts-stream]
 

Where

By default, the system scrambles both the cell payload and the STS stream.

The following example shows how to scramble the payload of the cell:

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
Router(config-if)# atm scrambling cell-payload

Controlling ATM Alarm Reporting

To control selected SONET alarms so that they are logged to the console for an ATM interface, use the atm report interface configuration command.

atm report {b1-tca | b2-tca | b3-tca | lais | lcd | lrdi | pais | plop | prdi | rdool | sd-ber | sf-ber | slof | slos}
no atm report {b1-tca | b2-tca | b3-tca | lais | lcd | lrdi | pais | plop | prdi | rdool | sd-ber | sf-ber | slof | slos}

Where:

To disable logging of select SONET alarms, use the no form of this command.

Reporting an alarm means that the alarm can be logged to the console. Not all alarms are logged. SONET alarm hierarchy rules dictate that only the most severe alarm of an alarm group is reported. Whether an alarm is reported or not, you can view the current state of a defect by checking the Active Defects line from the show controllers atm command output. A defect is a problem indication that is a candidate for an alarm.

The following example shows how to enable reporting of SD-BER and LAIS alarms on the interface:

Router(config)# interface atm 3/0/0
Router(config-if)# atm report sd-ber
Router(config-if)# atm report lais
Router(config-if)# end
Router#

Specifying the ATM Alarm Thresholds

Specify the bit error rate (BER) threshold by using the atm threshold command:

atm threshold {b1-tca | b2-tca | b3-tca | sd-ber | sf-ber} value
 

Where:

The default for all thresholds, except sf-ber, is 10-6. The default for sf-ber is 10-3.

The following example shows how to specify the B1 BER threshold crossing alarm value of 4:

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
Router(config-if)# atm threshold b1-tca 4 

Running Loopbacks

You can run a loopback by using the loopback command:

loopback {line | diagnostic {parallel | path | serial}}
no loopback {line | diagnostic {parallel | path | serial}}
 

Where:

The following example shows hot to run the diagnostic serial loopback:

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
Router(config-if)# loopback diagnostic serial

ATM PVC Commands

After you create a PVC using the pvc command, you can customize the PVC or a VC class by using the commands described in this section.

Specifying the Protocol

Use the protocol ip command in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode to do one or both of the following:

protocol ip {protocol-address | inarp} [[no] broadcast]
no protocol ip {protocol-address | inarp} [[no] broadcast]

Where:

  For PVCs created under point-to-point subinterfaces, broadcast is enabled by default. For PVCs created under multipoint subinterfaces, you should use the broadcast argument if you want to propagate IP routes.

Use the no form of this command to remove a static map or disable Inverse ARP.


Note   Use the inarp command to configure Inverse ARP frequency.

The following example shows how to specify IP protocol on an ATM PVC:

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# protocol ip 172.16.32.49

Configuring a Broadcast

To configure broadcast packet duplication and transmission for an ATM PVC or VC class, use the broadcast command.

The broadcast command is not used to enable ATM cell-level multicast, broadcast, replication, or to set up the broadcast of user level traffic. The broadcast command indicates which PVC (or PVCs) sends out broadcast traffic. This is typically limited to traffic associated with routing protocols and routing updates (for example, OSPF hello packets).


Note   The broadcast argument within the protocol ip command takes precedence over the broadcast command. See the "Specifying the Protocol" section for additional information about the protocol ip command.

Use the default form of this command to restore the default behavior described below.

broadcast
no broadcast
 
The default is broadcast.
 
Use the no form of this command to disable transmission of broadcast packets.
 

For PVCs created under point-to-point subinterfaces, broadcast is enabled by default. For PVCs created under multipoint subinterfaces, you should use the broadcast command if you want to propagate IP routes (only the first PVC on a multipoint interface receives broadcast traffic).

The following example shows how to use the broadcast command to restore the default behavior:

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.4
Router(config-subif)# pvc 0/105
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# broadcast 
Router(config-if-atm-vc)#

Configuring Inverse ARP

To configure the Inverse ARP time period for an ATM PVC or VC class, use the inarp command in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode.

inarp minutes
no inarp minutes
 

Where minutes is the Inverse ARP frequency from 1 to 60 minutes.

The default frequency is 15 minutes.
 

Use the no form of this command to restore the default Inverse ARP time period behavior.


Note   This command is supported only for AAL5+SNAP encapsulation (the default) when Inverse ARP is enabled. Use the encapsulation command to configure AAL5+SNAP encapsulation and the protocol command to enable Inverse ARP.

The following example shows how to specify an Inverse ARP frequency of 40 minutes on an ATM PVC:

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# inarp 40

Attaching an ATM VC Class to a PVC

To attach an ATM VC class to a PVC, use the class-vc command.

class-vc name
 

Where:

The following example shows how to assign an ATM VC class named boston to an ATM PVC:

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.4
Router(config-subif)# pvc 2/100
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# class-vc boston

Configuring VBR-NRT

To configure the variable bit rate-nonreal time (VBR-NRT) traffic management type and specify output peak cell rate, output sustainable cell rate, and output maximum burst cell size for an ATM PVC or VC class, use the vbr-nrt command. Use vbr-nrt in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode.

vbr-nrt peak_cell_rate sustainable_cell_rate maximum_burst_size
no vbr-nrt peak_cell_rate sustainable_cell_rate maximum_burst_size
 

Where:

The default class of service is unspecified bit rate (UBR) running at the maximum line rate of the physical interface.

Use the no form of this command to remove the VBR-NRT parameters and return the PVC to its default of unspecified bit rate (UBR).

You can create up to 254 VBR-NRT PVCs on an OC-12 ATM line card.

The following example shows how to configure the VBR-NRT traffic parameters on an ATM PVC:

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt 50000 20000 200
 

Specifying Encapsulation

To specify the ATM adaptation layer (AAL) and encapsulation type for an ATM PVC or VC class, use the encapsulation command in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode.

encapsulation {aal5mux ip | aal5snap}
no encapsulation {aal5mux ip | aal5snap}
 

Where:

Use the no form of this command to remove an encapsulation from a PVC or VC class.

The following example shows how to specify aal5mux ip encapsulation for an ATM PVC:

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0.4
Router(config-subif)# pvc 0/105
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# encaps aal5mux ip 

Enabling ILMI Management

To enable ILMI management on an ATM PVC, use the ilmi manage command in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode. This command changes the convergence of higher-level protocols based on link-state changes.

ilmi manage
no ilmi manage
 
Use the no form of this command to disable ILMI management.
 

The following example shows how to enable ILMI management on an ATM PVC:

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# ilmi manage

Configuring OAM Retry

To configure OAM retry, use the oam retry command in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode.

oam retry up_value [down_value frequency]
no oam retry up_value [down_value frequency]
 

Where:

  Default is 3 retries.
  Default is 5 retries.
  Default is 1 second.

Use the no form of the command to remove oam retry parameters.

The following example shows how to configure OAM retry to an ATM PVC:

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam retry 10 10 5

Enabling OAM Loopback Cell Generation and Management

To enable end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell generation and OAM management for an ATM PVC or VC class, use the oam-pvc command in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode or VC-class configuration mode.

oam-pvc [manage] [frequency]
no oam-pvc [manage] [frequency]
 

Where

The default value is 10 seconds.

Use the no form of this command to disable generation of OAM loopback cells and OAM management.

The following example enables OAM loopback cell and OAM management to an ATM PVC:

Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
Router(config-if)# pvc 0/105
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam-pvc 300
