Name of the emulated LAN. The maximum length of the name is 32 characters.

seg-num

Segment number to be assigned to the emulated LAN. The number ranges from 1 to 4095.

Default

No emulated LAN name or segment number is provided.

Command Mode

Database configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command is used for Token Ring LANE.

Refer to the lane database command for instructions on how to enter database configuration mode.

The same LANE ring number cannot be assigned to more than one emulated LAN.

The no form of this command deletes the relationships.

Example

The following example specifies a ring number of 1024 for the emulated LAN red.

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# lane database eng_dbase
Switch(lane-config-database)# name red local-seg-id 1024
Related Commands

name server-atm-address

To specify or replace the ATM address of the LANE server for the emulated LAN in the configuration server's configuration database, use the name server-atm-address global database configuration command. To remove it from the database, use the no form of this command.

name elan-name server-atm-address atm-address [restricted | un-restricted] [index n]
no name elan-name server-atm-address atm-address [restricted | un-restricted] [index n]

Syntax Description

elan-name

Name of the emulated LAN. Maximum length is 32 characters.

atm-address

LANE server's ATM address.

restricted | un-restricted

Membership in the named emulated LAN is restricted to the LANE clients explicitly defined to the emulated LAN in the configuration server's database.

index

Priority number. When specifying multiple LANE servers for fault tolerance, you can specify a priority for each server. The highest priority is 0.

Defaults

No emulated LAN name or server ATM address is provided.

Command Mode

Database configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use the lane database command to enter database configuration mode.

Emulated LAN names must be unique within one named LANE configuration database.

Specifying an existing emulated LAN name with a new LANE server ATM address adds the LANE server ATM address for that emulated LAN for redundant server operation or simple LANE service replication. This command can be entered multiple times.

The no form of this command deletes the relationships.

Example

The following example configures the example3 database with two restricted and one unrestricted emulated LANs. The clients that can be assigned to the eng and mkt emulated LANs are specified using the client-atm-address command. All other clients are assigned to the man emulated LAN.

ncdp (global)

To enable NCDP (Network Clock Distribution Protocol) and configure the network clocking hardware of the switch, use the ncdp command. To exit NCDP mode, use the no form of this command.

ncdp [max-diameter hops | revertive |
source priority {{{atm | cbr} card/subcard/port | bits {0 | 1}} stratum | system} |
timer {hello | hold} time_in_msec]
no ncdp [max-diameter hops | revertive |
source priority {{{atm | cbr} card/subcard/port | bits {0 | 1}} stratum | system} |
timer {hello | hold} time_in_msec]

Syntax Description

ncdp

Enables NCDP.

max-diameter

Specifies the maximum network diameter for the protocol.

hops

Specifies the maximum distance between any two nodes participating in the protocol, measured in hops. Values are 3 to 255. The default is 20.

Each node must be configured with the same max-diameter value for the protocol to operate properly.

revertive

Configures clock sources to be revertive. When clock sources are configured as revertive, a clock source that is selected and then fails is selected again once it becomes operational.

When clock sources are non-revertive (the default), a failed clock source is prevented from being selected again. This nonrevertive behavior only applies to locally configured clock sources.

source

Configures a clocking source for the given interface. See Table 13-1 for a list of keywords.

timer

Specifies, in milliseconds, the hello time or hold time for the NCDP protocol.

hello

Rate at which NCDP hello messages (configuration protocol data units) are sent. Specified in milliseconds. The default is 500.

hold

Delay between transmission of hello messages. Specified in milliseconds. The default is 500.

time_in_msec

Hello rate or hold delay time, in milliseconds. The range is 75-60000.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use the NCDP protocol to configure network clocking hardware to distribute a clock signal through the node (for use by physical interfaces) and to distribute a clock signal between nodes on the network.

When NCDP is enabled, network clock sources are selected by the protocol. When NCDP is disabled, network clock sources are selected according to the definitions entered via the network-clock-select command.Table 13-1 describes the key words by source type.


Table 13-1: Source Type Keywords
Keyword Description

priority

Specifies a network-wide priority for the clock source. The range is 1 to 255.

interface-type

Specifies the interface type as atm or cbr.

card/subcard/port

Card, subcard, and port number for the ATM interface.

stratum

The level in the Bellcore stratum hierarchy. (See Bellcore GR-436-CORE and Bellcore
GR-1244-CORE for more details.)

bits

Displayed and accepted when the platform supports the building integrated timing system (BITS). bits is only displayed or accepted if the system is equipped with a telco module.

system

Specifies the system clock as the clock source.

Examples

The following example shows how to set the maximum network diameter (number of hops between nodes) to 11.

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# ncdp max-diameter 11

The following example shows how to configure clock sources, as follows:

Switch(config)# ncdp source 1 atm 0/0/0 2e
Switch(config)# ncdp source 2 BITS 0 2e
Switch(config)# ncdp source 3 cbr 0/0/0 3
Switch(config)# ncdp source 1 system

The following example shows how to configure the locally defined clock sources to be revertive.

Switch(config)# ncdp revertive

The following example shows how to configure the NCDP hello timer to 500 milliseconds.

Switch(config)# ncdp timer hello 500

ncdp [admin-weight weight | control-vc vpi vci]
no ncdp [admin-weight weight | control-vc vpi vci]

Syntax Description

ncdp

Enables NCDP for the interface. For all ATM NNI interfaces, NCDP is enabled by default. For all other interfaces, NCDP is disabled by default.

admin-weight

Specifies the cost metric associated with the given port. The default is 10.

weight

A strictly positive integer in the range 1 to 16777215.

control-vc

Changes the control virtual circuit used to transport protocol messages between adjacent protocol entities on the given interface.

vpi vci

Specifies the virtual path identifier and virtual channel identifier.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use the NCDP interface-level commands to enable or disable NCDP on the interface or to change interface-level parameters.

NCDP also allows you to enable or disable NCDP on a given port to specify the cost metric associated with a given port and to change the control virtual circuit used to transport protocol messages between adjacent protocol entities on the given interface.

Examples

The following example shows how to set a link cost of 75 for ATM interface 0/0/0:

Switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface atm 0/0/0
switch(config-if)# ncdp admin-weight 75
 

The following example shows how to change the control virtual circuit used by the protocol to VPI=0, VCI=75.

switch(config)# interface atm 0/0/0
switch(config-if)# ncdp control-vc 0 75

card/subcard/port

Specifies the card, subcard, and port number of the ATM interface or CBR.

system

The free running clock provided by the route processor, which is the source for all network derived ports.

BITS

Selects a BITS port as the network clock source. (Catalyst 8540 MSR)

E1

Specifies an E1 interface. (Catalyst 8540 MSR)

T1

Specifies a T1 interface. (Catalyst 8540 MSR)

revertive

Causes the clock to revert to a higher-priority clock if the current clock goes off line.

Default

System clock

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to all interfaces except older versions of the DS3 interface. The system clock can be selected at any priority.

Example

The following example shows how to configure ATM 3/0/1 as a network clock source of priority 2, and configure ATM 0/1/0 to use a network-derived clock source.

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# network-clock-select 2 atm 3/0/1
Switch(config)# interface atm 0/1/0
Switch(config)# clock source network-derived
 

The following example shows how to configure ATM 0/0/0 as a network clock source of priority 1, and revert to a higher-priority clock.

Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# network-clock-select 1 atm 0/0/0
Switch(config)# network-clock-select revertive
Caution Configure a network clock-source before a port uses it as the clock source. Otherwise, by default, the system clock (route processor resident local oscillator) is used and the transmit clock is configured as network-derived.

next-node

To specify the next adjacent entry in a fully-specified ATM PNNI explicit path, use the next-node PNNI explicit-path configuration command.

next-node {name-string | node-id | node-id-prefix} [port hex-port-id | agg-token
hex-agg-token-id]

Syntax Description

name-string

Name of the PNNI node.

node-id

Full 22-byte node-id for a PNNI node.

node-id-prefix

The first 15 or more bytes of a node ID for a PNNI node.

port hex-port-id

Specifies an exit port to exclude for a PNNI node. Should be specified as a hexadecimal port ID rather than as a port name.

The default is to allow any valid exit port.

agg-token hex-agg-token-id

Optionally specifies the exit aggregation token, which is used in place of the port ID for higher-level PNNI LGNs.

The default is to allow any valid exit port.

Default

See "Syntax description."

Command Mode

PNNI explicit-path configuration

Usage Guidelines

Note See the atm pnni explicit-path command for a description of how to edit or delete an existing next-node path entry.

Node IDs can be entered with either the full 22-byte length address, or as a node ID prefix with a length of 15 bytes or more. To specify routes that include higher-level nodes (parent LGNs) for other peer groups, we recommend that you enter exactly 15 bytes so that the address remains valid in the event of a PGL update.

Node IDs appear in the following format:

dec: dec: 13-20 hex digits


Note To display them node IDs that correspond to named nodes in a network, use either the show atm pnni identifier command or the show atm pnni topology command with the node keyword.

Node names can be entered instead of node IDs. If names are used to identify higher-level LGNs, the resulting explicit paths are not guaranteed to remain valid if the PGL changes in the neighboring peer group. To prevent invalid paths, configure all parent LGNs (for all potential PGL nodes) with the same node name.

An exit port can be specified for any entry. The port should be specified as a hexadecimal port ID rather than as a port name. For excluded entries, only this port is excluded from the path.


Note To display the corresponding hexadecimal port IDs for a node, use either the show atm pnni identifier command with the port keyword, or the show atm pnni topology command with the node and hex-port-id keywords.

Since the port ID could change if the following neighbor peer group changes PGL leaders, the aggregation token is used in place of the port ID for nodes with higher-level LGNs. The LGN aggregation token can only identify the port uniquely if the following entry is the next-node entry. Aggregation tokens are not allowed for excluded tokens.


Note Normally, the first next-node entry should specify an adjacent neighbor node. However, if an exit port needs to be specified for the local node, it can appear as entry index 1.
Example

The following example shows how to perform the following PNNI explicit path configuration tasks:

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# atm pnni explicit-path name boston_2.path1
Switch(cfg-pnni-expl-path)# next-node dallas_2
Switch(cfg-pnni-expl-path)# next-node dallas_4 port 80003004
Switch(cfg-pnni-expl-path)# next-node 40:72:47.009181000000106000000000

node

To create, delete, enable, or disable PNNI nodes running on this switch and to specify or change the level of a node, use the node ATM router PNNI configuration command. PNNI node configuration mode is started when this command is entered. To remove a previously set node index, use the no form of this command.

node node_index level level_indicator [lowest] [peer-group-identifier] [pg_id | default]
[enable | disable]
no node node_index

Syntax Description

node_index

Specifies the local node index, in the range of 1 to 8, used to identify a PNNI node.

level_indicator

Specifies the PNNI level (position in the PNNI hierarchy), in the range of 1 to 104, at which the node exists.

pg_id

Specifies a non-default peer group identifier for the peer group to which the node belongs. Enter the default keyword in place of an identifier to return from a non-default value to the default peer group identifier.

lowest

Indicates that the node to be created is a lowest-level node (for example, the node runs over physical links and VPCs). If this is not present when a new node_index is specified, the new node becomes a logical group node that represents a PNNI peer group. A logical group node only becomes active when its child node is elected peer group leader.

Default

With the ATM switch router autoconfiguration capabilities, a lowest-level PNNI node with the node index 1 is automatically created and runs on all PNNI interfaces by default (including interfaces determined by ILMI to be PNNI interfaces, and on interfaces configured to run PNNI).

The default level is 56, the proper level for lowest-level nodes using autoconfigured Cisco ATM addresses in a single-level hierarchy.

Command Mode

ATM router PNNI configuration

Usage Guidelines

The level of a node can only be modified when the node is disabled.

The enable and disable options can be used to reinitialize PNNI. For example, the node ID and peer group ID are recalculated based on the switch's first ATM address and the node level whenever a node is enabled.

For more information, refer to the ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide.

Example

The following example shows how to enter PNNI node configuration mode.

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# atm router pnni
Switch(config-atm-router)# node 1
Switch(config-pnni-node)# 
 

The following example shows how to create a lowest-level PNNI node with node index 1 at level 96 (assuming no node currently exists on this switch).

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# atm router pnni
Switch(config-atm-router)# node 1 level 96 lowest
Switch(config-pnni-node)#

nodal-representation

To specify the type of PNNI LGN representation, use the nodal-representation PNNI node configuration command.

nodal-representation {simple | complex [threshold threshold-value | radius-only]}

Syntax Description

simple

Specifies the simple PNNI node representation, where an entire child peer group is represented as a single node.

complex

Specifies the complex PNNI node representation.

threshold threshold-value

Threshold percent for the generation of bypass or spoke exceptions. The threshold value ranges from 0 to 2147483647 percent. The default threshold is 60 percent.

radius-only

Advertises radius metrics only with no bypass or spoke exceptions.

Default

simple

Command Mode

PNNI node configuration

Usage Guidelines

Larger values for the threshold reduce the number of bypass and spoke exceptions advertised by PNNI. If a metric differs from the default metric and the (larger - smaller)/smaller ratio is greater than the threshold percentage, then an exception spoke, or bypass is advertised.

Lowest-level nodes are not allowed to have complex nodal representation.

The radius-only option suppresses all exceptions.

Example

The following example shows how to specify nodal representation for radius only.

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# atm router pnni
Switch(config-atm-router)# node 2
Switch(config-pnni-node)# nodal-representation complex radius-only
