The commands shown in this chapter apply to the Catalyst 8540 MSR, Catalyst 8510 MSR, and LightStream 1010. Where an entire command or certain attributes of a command have values specific to a particular switch, an exception is indicated by the following callouts:
To configure the temperatures so that the ATM switch router declares a major or minor alarm condition, use the facility-alarm command. You can configure explicit threshold temperatures
(in degrees Celsius [° C]) to override the defaults for major and minor alarms. Use the no form of this command to disable alarms for that threshold and reset the threshold to the default value.
major [temperature] | Major alarm threshold temperature threshold in degrees C. The default value is 53° C. |
minor [temperature] | Minor alarm threshold temperature threshold in degrees C. The default value is 45° C. |
major is 53° C.
minor is 45° C.
Global configuration
You cannot disable or adjust the system critical alarms threshold. A "critical" alarm is standard Telco terminology for the alarm just before the system powers itself off.
The following example shows how to configure facility alarms to 50° C for major alarms, and 38° C for minor alarms.
Switch(config)# facility-alarm core-temperature major 50 Switch(config)# facility-alarm core-temperature minor 38

To enable the FDL capability provided on the T1 board, use the fdl interface configuration command. To restore the default, use the no form of this command.
fdl {ansi | att}
ansi | Enables ANSI mode for FDL querries from the remote end. |
att | Enables ATT mode for FDL querries from the remote end. |
Both ansi and att are disabled.
Interface configuration.
The T1 board responds to requests in both ANSI and ATT format, but is only able to gather the remote end data in ANSI format. The T1 board complies to ANSI standard T1.403
FDL packets are used to collect data from the remote end. To enable the FDL capability it is necessary to know whether the remote end supports FDL functionality.
The mode is selected depending upon which mode is supported on the remote end.
The following example shows how to enable FDL capabilities in both ANSI and ATT mode.
Switch(Config)# interface atm 0/1/0 Switch(Config-if)# fdl ansi Switch(Config)# interface atm 0/1/0 Swith(Config-if)# fdl att
The following example shows how to disable FDL capabilities in both ANSI and ATT mode.
Switch(Config)# interface atm 0/1/0 Switch(Config-if)# no fdl ansi Switch(Config)# interface atm 0/1/0 Swith(Config-if)# no fdl att

To format Flash memory, use the format privileged EXEC command.
format device1: [[device2:] [monlib-filename]] | Caution The following formatting procedure erases all information in the Flash memory. To prevent the loss of important data, proceed carefully. |
device1: | Device to format. The colon (:) is required. Valid devices are as follows: · bootflash: This device is the internal Flash memory. · slot0: This device is the first PC slot on the route processor card. · slot1: This device is the second PC slot on the route processor card. |
device2: | Device containing the monlib file to use for formatting device1. The colon (:) is required. Valid devices are as follows: · bootflash: This device is the internal Flash memory. · slot0: This device is the first PC slot and is the initial default device. · slot1: This device is the second PC slot on the route processor card. |
monlib-filename | Name of the ROM monitor library file (monlib file) to use for formatting device1. |
The default monlib file is the one bundled with the system software.
Privileged EXEC
Use the format command to format internal Flash memory (bootflash) or your Flash memory cards.
In some cases, you might need to insert a new PCMCIA Flash memory card and load images or backup configuration files onto it. Before you can use a new Flash memory card, you must format it.
Flash memory cards have sectors that can fail. You can reserve certain Flash memory sectors as "spares" for use when other sectors fail. Use the format command to specify between 0 and 16 sectors as spares. If you reserve a small number of spare sectors for emergencies, you do not waste space because you can use most of the Flash memory card. If you specify zero spare sectors and some sectors fail, you must reformat the Flash memory card and thereby erase all existing data.
The monlib file is the ROM monitor library. The ROM monitor uses the monlib file to access files in the Flash file system.
In the command syntax, device1 is the device to format, and device2 contains the monlib file to use. When you omit the [[device2:][monlib-filename]] argument, the system formats device1 using the monlib file that is bundled with the system software. When you omit device2 from the [[device2:][monlib-filename]] argument, the system formats device1 using the named monlib file from the device specified by the cd command. When you omit monlib-filename from the [[device2:][monlib-filename]] argument, the system formats device1 using device2's monlib file. When you specify the whole [[device2:][monlib-filename]] argument, the system formats device1 using the specified monlib file from the specified device. Note that you can specify device1's own monlib file in this argument. When the system cannot find a monlib file, the system terminates the formatting process.
The following example shows the format command that formats a Flash memory card inserted in slot 0 of the route processor card.
Switch# format slot0: Running config file on this device, proceed? [confirm]y All sectors will be erased, proceed? [confirm]y Enter volume id (up to 31 characters): <Return> Formatting sector 1 (erasing) Format device slot0 completed
When the switch returns you to the EXEC prompt, the new Flash memory card is successfully formatted and ready for use.

To set the error threshold on DCE and NNI interfaces, use the frame-relay lmi-n392dce interface configuration command. To remove the setting, use the no form of this command.
frame-relay lmi-n392dce threshold
threshold | Error threshold value. The value must be a positive integer from 1 to 10. |
Two errors
Interface configuration
N392 errors must occur within the number defined by the N393 event count for the link to be down. Therefore, the threshold value for this command must be less than the count value defined in the frame-relay lmi-n393dce command.
The following example configures serial interface 11/0/0:1 with Frame Relay LMI monitoring event count to four.

To configure discard marking thresholds on a Frame Relay interface in the output direction, use
the frame-relay output-queue interface configuration command. To restore tthe default values for the threshold, use the no form of this command .
abr | ubr | vbr-nrt | Service categories for which the threshold is configured: · ABR · UBR · VBR-NRT |
discard-threshold | Threshold where the cell is discarded. If the queue fills above this level, any frame arriving from the switch with DE bit set is discarded by the interface. The default is 87 percent. |
marking-threshold | Threshold where the cell is marked for EFCI. If the queue fills above this level, all frames arriving from the switch will have the FECN bit set in the frame header as they exit the interface. For cells entering the Frame Relay interface from an external device, the BECN bit is set in the frame header as it enters the switch. The default is 75 percent. |
percentage | Percentage number. |
See "Syntax Description."
Interface configuration
This command affects all existing connections on the interface, as well as subsequent connections.
The following example shows how to set the Frame Relay output queue for ABR connects to allow EFCI marking for cells over 65 percent of capacity.

To set the percentage of CIR overbooking, use the frame-relay overbooking command. To disable CIR overbooking, use the no form of this command.
frame-relay overbooking percent
percent | The percent of interface bandwidth from 101 to 1000. |
Disabled
Interface configuration
The allowable overbooking on an access link or interface is a number times the access link or interface speed (access rate), for example, 200 percent of the access rate. The total of all CIRs for all Frame Relay PVCs and Frame Relay soft VCs cannot exceed the CIR overbooking factor times the access rate.
Once configured and used to admit Frame Relay PVCs and Frame Relay soft VCs on an interface, the CIR overbooking factor can only be adjusted within the upper limit and the level which has been overbooked by the existing connections. Disabling the CIR overbooking factor is allowed only when the total of all CIRs for all Frame Relay PVCs and Frame Relay soft VCs does not exceed the interface access rate.
Configuring the CIR overbooking factor increases the available bit rates for the Frame Relay PVC and soft VC but does not increase the actual bandwidth (access rate) and resources available to the Frame Relay interface.
The CIR of a connection is not allowed to exceed the actual access rate of an interface even if the CIR overbooking factor is configured.
The following example configures the Frame Relay serial interface to allow overbooking the CIR to 200 percent.
Switch(config)# interface serial 1/1/0:5 Switch(config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay ietf Switch(config-if)# frame-relay overbooking 200

only-explicit | If one or more explicit paths have been specified and the explicit path fails, the soft connection remains down until it is retried at its next retry interval. If this option is not specified, the system will use the standard on-demand routing instead of waiting for the next retry interval. |
redo-explicit | Applies only to existing soft connections and allows explicit paths to be respecified without tearing down connections. Existing connections are unaffected unless a reroute takes place, and then they use the newer explicit-path configuration. |
See "Syntax Description."
Interface configuration
Obtain the destination port address before configuring a soft PVC by using the show atm interface or show atm addresses command on the destination switch.
The following list identifies reasons why the creation of a soft PVC is unsuccessful:
Up to three explicit paths can be assigned to a soft VC, using precedence numbers 1 through 3. The precedence 1 explicit path is considered the primary path and is tried first. If it fails, then the next precedence path is tried. Explicit paths can be specified either by name or by identifier.
The explicit-path options can be changed without tearing down an existing Frame Relay soft PVC. Use the redo-explicit form of the command to respecify all of the explicit-path options.
After configuring a Frame Relay soft PVC, use the show vc command on the source node (specifying the serial interface and DLCI) to verify that the soft PVC has succeeded and to see the explicit path taken.
The following example shows how to create a soft PVC between two Frame Relay connections.
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config-if)# frame-relay soft-vc 50 dest-address 47.0091.8100.0000.00e0.1e79.8803.4000.0c81.8020.00 dlci 50 upc pass
The following example shows how to create a soft PVC between a Frame Relay connection and an ATM connection.
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config-if)# frame-relay soft-vc 60 dest-address 47.0091.8100.0000.0060.3e5b.7201.4000.0c80.8000.00 vc 0 100
The following example shows these connections via the show vc command.
Switch# show vc interface serial3/0/0:1 Interface Conn-Id Type X-Interface X-Conn-Id Encap Status Serial3/0/0:1 50 SoftVC Serial3/0/0:2 50 UP Serial3/0/0:1 55 PVC Serial3/0/0:2 55 UP Serial3/0/0:1 60 SoftVC ATM1/1/1 0/35 UP Serial3/0/0:1 66 PVC Serial3/0/0:2 66 UP
In the show vc example above, the Frame Relay-to-Frame Relay connection originates from Serial 3/0/0:1 and terminates at Serial 3/0/0:2. The Frame Relay-to-ATM connection originates from Serial 3/0/0:1 and goes out through ATM 1/1/1 and ends on an ATM interface on an adjacent switch.
The following example shows how to manually configure an explicit path between two Frame Relay connections. In this example, if the explicit path fails, standard routing is used.
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# interface atm 0/1/3 Switch(config-if)# frame-relay soft-vc 100 dest-address 47.0091.8100.0000.1061.705b.d900.4000.0c81.9000.00 dlci 100 explicit-path 1 name chicago.path1
The following example shows how to use the redo-explicit keyword to modify an existing explicit-path configuration to add a second alternate explicit path and to prevent standard routing from being used should both explicit paths fail. Note that the system prompts you to confirm the changes.
Switch(config)# interface atm 0/1/3 Switch(config-if)# frame-relay soft-vc 100 redo-explicit explicit-path 1 name chicago.path1 explicit-path 2 name chicago.path2 only-explicit Modify with new explicit path options [yes], or abort changes [no]? [yes/no]:y
The following example shows how to remove all explicit paths from an existing Frame Relay soft PVC by using the redo-explicit keyword, with no other options specified. The path will not be changed until a reroute occurs.
Switch(config)# interface atm 0/1/3 Switch(config-if)# frame-relay soft-vc 100 redo-explicit Modify with new explicit path options [yes], or abort changes [no]? [yes/no]:y

To configure the UPC to be programmed for the soft VCs terminating on an interface, and
to configure the default value for the upc option in the frame-relay pvc command, use the frame-relay upc-intent interface configuration command. To assign the default value, use the
no form of this command.
pass | tag-drop | Usage parameter control, specified as pass or tag-drop. |
Pass
Interface configuration
This command determines the UPC to use for SVCs and for the destination leg of soft VCs. If you want to configure policing, you can apply it once for traffic entering a network.
The following example shows how to set the intended UPC for SVCs on an interface to tag-drop.
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# interface serial 11/0/0:1 Switch(config-if)# frame-relay upc-intent tag-drop
To specify the type of framing used by the port on a Frame Relay port adapter, use the framing controller configuration command. To restore the default framing type, use the no form of this command.
For the channelized DS3 (CDS3) Frame Relay port adapter, use the following syntax:
framing {c-bit | m23}For the channelized E1 (CE1) Frame Relay port adapter, use the following syntax:
framing {crc | no-crc4}
c-bit | m23 | Specifies that either C-bit framing or M23 framing is used for the CDS3 Frame Relay controller. |
crc4 | no-crc4 | Specifies CRC-4 E1 framing for the CE1 Frame Relay controller. To select E1 framing without CRC-4 generation, use the no-crc4 option. |
CDS3 Frame Relay port adapters: m23
CE1 Frame Relay port adapters: crc4
Controller configuration
The DS3 port adapter has a similar command, but the Frame Relay port adapter does not support the same command options.
The following example shows how to set the framing for the CE1 Frame Relay port adapter to no CRC4.
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# controller e1 11/0/0 Switch(config-controller)# framing no-crc4
To select the frame type for the data line, use the framing interface configuration command.
To restore the default values, use the no form of this command.
framingmode | Specifies framingmode as follows: · For DS3: m23adm | m23plcp | cbitadm | cbitplcp · For E3: g832adm | g751adm | g751plcp · For E1: crc4adm | crc4plcp | pcm30adm | pcm30plcp · For E1 IMA: cleare1 | crc4adm | pcm30adm · For T1: esfplcp | sfplcp | sfadm | esfadm · For T1 IMA: esfadm | sfadm · For OC-12: stm-4c | sts-12c |
For DS3: cbitplcp
For E3: g832adm
For E1: pcm30adm
For E1 IMA: no-crc4
For T1: esfplcp
For T1 IMA: esf
For OC-12: sts-12c
