Configuring Signalling Features

Configuring Signalling Features

This chapter describes the LightStream  1010 ATM switch signalling features, and includes the following sections:


Note For complete descriptions of the commands mentioned in this chapter, refer to the LightStream  1010 ATM Switch Command Reference publication.

Configuring Signalling IE Forwarding

You enable signalling information element (IE) forwarding of the specified IE from the calling party to the called party.


Note The default is to transfer all the information elements in the signalling message.

To configure interface signalling IE transfer, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
Step Command Task
1

interface atm card/subcard/port

Select the interface to be configured.

2

atm signalling ie forward {aal-info | all | bli-repeat-ind | called-subaddress | calling-number | higher-layer-info | lower-layer-info | unknown-ie}

Configure the signalling information element forwarding.

Examples

The following example shows how to disable signalling of all forwarded IEs on ATM interface 0/0/0:

Switch(config)# interface atm 0/0/0
Switch(config-if)# no atm signalling ie forward all

Display the Interface Signalling IE Forwarding Configuration

To display the interface signalling IE forwarding configuration, use the following privileged EXEC command:

Configuring E.164 Addresses

E.164 support allows networks that use E.164 ATM address formats (for example, 45.000001234567777F00000000.000000000000.00) to work with networks that use E.164 address formats (for example, 1-123-456-7777). Generally, E.164 ATM addresses are used in ATM networks, and E.164 addresses are used in telephone networks.

There are several types of E.164 addresses. The LightStream  1010 ATM switch supports the following E.164 address formats:

These properties are carried in the called and calling party address IEs, which are part of the signalling packets used to set up a call.

Note AESA is an ATM Forum term for ATM address.

There are three features you can configure on the LightStream  1010 ATM switch for E.164 address conversion. The feature you chose depends on the address format you are using. The features are as follows:

Caution Manually creating the E.164 to AESA address translation table is a time consuming and error prone process. We strongly recommend that you use either the E.164 gateway or E.164 autoconversion feature instead of the E.164 one-to-one address translation feature.

Note Refer to the chapter "
Configuring ATM Routing and PNNI" in the section "E.164 AESA Prefixes" for E.164 address considerations for PNNI.

Proceed to the appropriate subsection for configuration information.

Configure E.164 Gateway

If your network uses ARB_AESA, you can configure the E.164 gateway feature. To configure the E.164 gateway feature, you must first configure a static ATM route with an E.164 address. Then configure the E.164 address to use on the interface.

This section describes how to configure the E.164 gateway feature and includes the following procedures:

When a static route is configured on an interface, all ATM addresses that match the configured address prefix are routed through that interface to an E.164 address.

Signalling uses E.164 addresses in the called and calling party IEs, and uses AESAs in the called and calling party subaddress IEs.

Figure 17-1 illustrates an E.164 gateway configuration. The AESA address is used to initiate the call at the ingress to the public network. The public network routes the call based on the E.164 address. AESA subaddresses are carried through the public network in the subaddress fields. The AESA address is used to complete the call at the egress from the public network.


Figure 17-1:
E.164 Gateway Conversion Example



Note Enter access lists for E.164 addresses in the E164_AESA format, not native E.164 format. For example, if the E.164 address is 7654321, then the E164_AESA format is 45.000000007654321F00000000.000000000000.00. To filter prefix "765", enter the prefix 45.00000000765..., not just 765.... Access lists operate on the called and calling party IEs. Refer to the chapter "
Using Access Control" for more information about access control.

Configure an E.164 Address Static Route

To configure an E.164 address static route, use the following command in global configuration mode:
Command Task

atm route atm-address-prefix atm card/subcard/port
[e164-address e164-address [number-type {international | local | national | subscriber}]]
[internal] [scope1-15]

At the configure prompt, configure the static route prefix with the E.164 address.

Example

The following example uses the atm route command to configure a static route using the 13-byte switch prefix 47.00918100000000410B0A1081 to ATM interface 0/0/0 with the E.164 address 1234567:

Switch(config)# atm route 47.00918100000000410B0A1081 atm 0/0/0 e164-address 7654321
 

To complete the E.164 address static route configuration, proceed to the section "Configure an ATM E.164 Address on an Interface."

Display the E.164 Static Route Configuration

To display the E.164 address configuration, use the following privileged EXEC command:
Command Task

show atm route

Display the static route E.164 address configuration.

Examples

The following example displays the E.164 address configuration using the show atm route privileged EXEC command:

Configure an ATM E.164 Address on an Interface

One E.164 address can be configured per ATM port. Signalling uses E.164 addresses in the called and calling party IEs, and uses AESA addresses in the called and calling party subaddress IEs.

To configure an E.164 address on a per-interface basis, perform the following tasks, beginning in global configuration mode:
Step Command Task
1

interface atm card/subcard/port

Select an interface port.

2

atm e164 address e164-address

Associate the E.164 address to the interface.

Example

The following example shows how to configure the E.164 address 7654321 on ATM interface 0/0/1:

Switch(config)# interface atm 0/0/1
Switch(config-if)# atm e164 address 7654321

Display the E.164 Address Association to Interface Configuration

To display the E.164 configuration, use the following EXEC command:
Command Task

show atm interface atm card/subcard/port

Show the E.164 address configuration on a per-port basis.

Example

The following example shows how to display the E.164 address configuration for ATM interface 0/0/1:

Switch# show atm interface atm 0/0/1

Input AAL5 pkts: 147608, Output AAL5 pkts: 147636, AAL5 crc errors: 0
 

When the E.164 gateway feature is configured, the switch first attempts to make a connection using the E.164 gateway feature. If that connection fails, the switch attempts to make the connection using the E.164 address autoconversion feature. Proceed to the next section, "Configure E.164 Address Autoconversion," for configuration instructions.

Configure E.164 Address Autoconversion

If your network uses E164_ZDSP or E164_AESA addresses, you can configure E.164 address autoconversion. The E164_ZDSP and E164_AESA addresses include an embedded E.164 number in the E.164 portion of an E.164 ATM address. This embedded E.164 number is used in the autoconversion process.

The E.164 portion of an E.164 ATM address is the first 15 digits following the authority and format identifier (AFI) of 45, shown in Figure 17-2. The E.164 portion is right justified and ends with an "F." If all fifteen digits are not being used, the unused digits are filled with zeroes. In Figure 17-2, the embedded E.164 number is 1234567777, but it is signaled at the egress of the switch and in the E.164 public network as 31323334353637373737.


Figure 17-2: E.164 Portion of an E.164 ATM Address


The autoconversion process differs slightly between the E164_ZDSP and E164_AESA address formats. Table 17-1 compares the E.164 address autoconversion process by address type. The main difference between the two types is the way the IEs are signaled at the egress of the switch, as described in the second row of Table 17-1. Note that during the final conversion process, the calling AESA and called AESA return to their original values.

Figure 17-3 shows an example of an E164_ZDSP address autoconversion. In Figure 17-3, a call (connection) from end system A is placed to end system B on the other side of an E.164 public network. The call originates as an E.164 ATM address and is signaled in native E.164 format at the egress port of switch A and within the E.164 public network. When the call reaches the ingress port of switch  B, at the edge of the E.164 public network, the call is converted back to E.164 ATM address format.


Note The LightStream  1010 ATM switch routes calls based on the E.164 ATM address (not the native E.164 address).

Figure 17-3: E164_ZDSP Address Autoconversion Example


Figure 17-4 shows an example of an E164_AESA address autoconversion. In Figure 17-4, a call from end system A is placed to end system B on the other side of an E.164 public network. The call originates as an E.164 ATM address and at the egress port of switch A and within the E.164 public network:

When the call reaches the ingress port of switch B, at the edge of the E.164 public network, the call is converted back to E.164 ATM address format and:


Figure 17-4: E164_AESA Address Autoconversion Example



Note Enter access lists for E.164 addresses in the E164_AESA format, not native E.164 format. For example, if the E.164 address is 7654321, then the E164_AESA format is 45.000000007654321F00000000.000000000000.00. To filter prefix "765", enter the prefix 45.00000000765..., not just 765.... Access lists operate on the called and calling party IEs. Refer to the chapter "
Using Access Control" for more information about access control.

E.164 address autoconversion configuration is the same, regardless of which type of address (E164_ZDSP or E164_AESA) your network uses. To configure E.164 address autoconversion, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
Step Command Task
1

atm route atm-address-prefix atm card/subcard/port
[e164-address e164-address [number-type {international | local | national | subscriber}]]
[internal] [scope1-15]

At the configure prompt, configure the static route prefix with the E.164 address.

2

interface atm card/subcard/port

Select the ATM interface.

3

atm e164 auto-conversion

Configure E.164 autoconversion.

4

exit

Return to global configuration mode.

Examples

In the example networks shown in Figure 17-3 and Figure 17-4, interface 0/0/1 of switch A is configured as follows:

Switch(config)# atm route 45.000007654321111F atm 0/0/1
Switch(config)# int atm 0/0/1
Switch(config-if)# atm e164 auto-conversion
 

Interface 0/0/1 of switch B is configured as follows:

Switch(config)# atm route 45.000001234567777F atm 0/0/1
Switch(config)# int atm 0/0/1
Switch(config-if)# atm e164 auto-conversion

Configure E.164 Address One-to-One Translation Table

The ATM interface to a public network commonly uses an E.164 address for ATM signalling, with ARB_AESA addresses carried in the subaddress fields of the message.

Caution Manually mapping AESA addresses to E.164 addresses is a time consuming and error prone process. We highly recommend that you use either the E.164 gateway or E.164 autoconversion feature instead of the E.164 one-to-one address translation feature.

The one-to-one translation table allows signalling to look up the E.164 addresses and the ARB_AESA addresses in a database, allowing a one-to-one correspondence between ARB_AESA addresses and E.164 addresses.

During egress operation, when a signalling message attempts to establish a call out an interface, the called and calling party addresses are in ARB_AESA format.

If the interface has been configured for E.164 translation, signalling attempts to find a match for the ARB_AESA addresses. If found, the E.164 addresses corresponding to the ARB_AESA addresses are placed into the called and calling party addresses. The original ARB_AESA addresses are also placed into the called and calling party subaddresses.

During ingress operation, if the interface is configured for E.164 translation, the called and calling party addresses are in E.164 format.

If the original ARB_AESA-formatted called and calling addresses have been carried in subaddresses, then those addresses will be used to forward the call.

If subaddresses are not present due to the network blocking them, or to the switch at the entry to the E.164 network not using subaddresses, signalling attempts to find a match for the ARB_AESA address in the ATM E.164 translation table.

If matches are found, the ARB_AESA addresses corresponding to the E.164 addresses in the translation table will be placed into the called and calling party addresses. The call is then forwarded using the ARB_AESA addresses.

Configuring one-to-one E.164 translation tables requires the following steps:

Step 1 Configure specific ATM interface(s) to connect to E.164 public networks to use the translation table.

Step 2 Configure the translation table.

Step 3 Add entries to the translation table for both the called and calling parties.

To configure E.164 translation on the interface, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
Step Command Task
1

interface atm card/subcard/port

Select an interface port.

2

atm e164 translation

Configure the ATM E.164 interface.

3

exit

Return to EXEC configuration mode.

4

atm e164 translation-table

Change to E.164 ATM configuration mode.

5

e164 address address nsap-address1 nsap_address

Configure the E.164 translation table.

1The NSAP address is the same as the ARB_AESA address.

Example

The following example shows how to configure the ATM interface 0/0/1 to use the one-to-one E.164 translation table:

        Switch(config)# interface atm 0/0/1
        Switch(config-if)# atm e164 translation
        Switch(config-if)# exit
        Switch(config)# atm e164 translation-table
        Switch(config-atm-e164)# e164 address 1111111 nsap-address 11.111111111111111111111111.112233445566.11
        Switch(config-atm-e164)# e164 address 2222222 nsap-address 22.222222222222222222222222.112233445566.22
        Switch(config-atm-e164)# e164 address 3333333 nsap-address 33.333333333333333333333333.112233445566.33
        

In order, these commands:

    1. Change to interface configuration mode for ATM interface 0/0/1.

    2. Enable ATM E.164 translation on the interface.

    3. Exit interface configuration mode.

    4. Change to ATM E.164 configuration mode.

    5. Add the E.164 address 1111111 to the ARB_AESA address 11.11111... translation table entry.

    6. Add the E.164 address 2222222 to the ARB_AESA address 22.22222... translation table entry.

    7. Add the E.164 address 3333333 to the ARB_AESA address 33.33333... translation table entry.

Configuring Signalling Diagnostics Tables

Signalling diagnostics enable you to diagnose a specific call failure in your network and pinpoint the location of the call failure along with the reason for the failure. To do this, you must configure a signalling diagnostics table that stores the filtering criteria and a filter index, an integer value between 1 and 50, used to uniquely identify each set of filtering criteria you select. Each filtering criteria occupies one entry in the signalling diagnostics table. Each entry in the filter table is entered using command-line interface (CLI) commands or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Then the diagnostics software module, when enabled, filters rejected calls based on the entries in your filter table. A successful match in the filter table causes the rejected call information to be stored for analysis.


Note Signalling diagnostics is a tool for troubleshooting failed calls and should not be enabled during normal switch operation.

To configure the signalling diagnostics table entries, perform the following tasks, beginning in global configuration mode:
Step Command Task
1

atm signalling diagnostics enable

Enable ATM signalling diagnostics

2

atm signalling diagnostics index

Change to ATM signalling diagnostics configuration mode.

3

age-timer seconds

Configure the timeout value for the entry, in seconds.

4

calling-address-mask nsap_address_mask2

Configure a filtering criteria based on the calling address mask value to be used to identify the valid bits of the calling NSAP address of the rejected call.

5

called-nsap-address nsap_addrress

Configure a filtering criteria based on the called NSAP address of the rejected call.

6

called-address-mask nsap_address_mask1

Configure a filtering criteria based on the called address mask value used to identify the valid bits of the calling NSAP address of the rejected call.

7

calling-nsap-address nsap_address

Configure a filtering criteria based on the calling NSAP address of the rejected call.

8

cast-type {p2p | p2mp | all}

Configure a filtering criteria based on the cast type of the rejected call. (The default is all.)

9

clear-cause number2

Configure a filtering criteria based on the cleared cause code of the rejected call.

10

connection-category {soft-vc | soft-vp | reg-vc | all}

Configure a filtering criteria based on the VC connection category of the rejected call.

11

incoming-port atm card/subcard/port

Configure a filtering criteria based on the incoming port of the rejected call.

12

max-records number

Configure the maximum number of entries to be stored in the display table for each of the entries in the filter table.

13

outgoing-port atm card/subcard/port

Configure a filtering criteria based on the outgoing port of the rejected call.

14

purge

Purge all the filtered records in the filter table.

15

scope {internal | external}

Configure a filtering criteria based on the scope of the rejected call which either failed internally in the switch or externally on other switches.

16

service-category {cbr | abr | vbr-rt | vbr-nrt | ubr | all}

Configure a filtering criteria based on the service category of the rejected call.

17

status [active filter_criteria | inactive filter_criteria | delete filter_criteria]

Configure the status of the entry in the filter table.

1The combination of the configured calling_addr_mask (called_address_mask) and the configured calling_nsap_address (called_nsap_address) are used to filter the rejected call.
2You can obtain the cause code values from the ATM forum UNI3.1 specification.

The display table contains the records that were collected based on every filtering criteria in the filter table. Each filtering criteria has only a specified number of records that are stored in the table. After that specified number of records is exceeded, the table is overwritten.

Configuring Closed User Group Signalling Overview

You can configure a closed user group (CUG) to form restricted access groups (virtual private networks). Different CUGs can be defined and a specific user can be a member of one or more CUGs. Members of a CUG can communicate among themselves, but not with users outside the group. Specific users can have additional restrictions that prevent them from originating or receiving calls from other members of the CUG. You can also specify additional restrictions on originating and receiving calls to or from members of other CUGs.

For example, if you configure three CUGs (A, B, and C) in your network, you can configure them so that groups B and C can communicate with group A without restriction, but groups B and C cannot communicate between each other.You can also configure specific members of the same group to not accept calls from members of the same group.

The basis for CUGs are interlock codes. Interlock codes are unique in the whole network. Members belonging to a CUG are assigned a unique interlock code. Members of CUGs will use this interlock code while communicating with other members of the same or different CUGs.

Interlock code is passed in CUG interlock code information element (CUG IC IE). The CUG IE also carries information that specifies whether the call can go through if the called party is not a member of the specified CUG. At the network boundary where the call originates, when a call is received from the user, the switch generates the CUG IE and sends it as part of the SETUP message. In this software release, the CUG IE can only contain the preferential CUG's interlock code. The CUG  IE is used at the destination network interface to determine if the call should be forwarded or rejected. The CUG IE is forwarded transparently by the intermediate switches.


Note End systems do not have any knowledge of interlock codes.

Two types of interlock codes are defined:


Note Cisco only supports the 24-byte interlock code.

Figure 17-5 provides examples of CUGs and consists of the following components:


Figure 17-5: Closed User Groups


Two CUG calls shown in Figure 17-5 are as follows:

The following sections describe configuring CUGs:

Configuring Aliases for CUG Interlock Code

You can define an alias for each CUG interlock code used on the switch. Using an alias can simplify configuration of a CUG on multiple interfaces. When you use an alias, you no longer need to specify the 48-hexadecimal-digit CUG interlock code on each interface attached to a CUG member.

To configure an alias for a CUG interlock code, use the following command in global configuration mode:
Command Task

atm signalling cug alias alias_name interlock-code interlock_code

Configure the alias for the CUG interlock code.

Example

The following example shows how to configure the alias TEST for the CUG interlock code 4700918100000000603E5A790100603E5A790100.12345678:

        Switch(config)# atm signalling cug alias TEST interlock-code 4700918100000000603E5A790100603E5A790100.12345678
        

Configure CUG on an Interface

This section describes CUG configuration on interfaces.

Your first step in CUG configuration is to identify the access interfaces. Transmission and reception of CUG interlock codes is not allowed over access interfaces. Configuring all interfaces leading outside of the network as access interfaces ensures that all CUG interlock codes are generated and used only within this network.

You implement CUG procedures only if you configure the interface as an access interface.

Each access interface can be configured to permit or deny calls either from user(s) attached to this interface or to unknown users that are not members of this interface's CUG(s). In International Telecommunications Union Telecommunications Standardization Sector (ITU-T) terminology, this is called outgoing access. Similarly, each access interface can be configured to permit or deny calls either to the user(s) attached to this interface or from unknown users that are not members of this interface's CUG(s). In ITU-T terminology, this is called incoming access.


Note Interfaces to other networks should be configured as CUG access interfaces, even if no CUGs are configured on the interface. In this case, if you want the switch to exchange SVCs with the neighbor network, calls to and from unknown users should be permitted on the interface.

You can configure each access interface to have one or more CUGs associated with it, but only one CUG can be selected as the preferential CUG. In this software release, calls received from users attached to this interface can only be associated with the preferential CUG. Calls destined to users attached to this interface can be accepted based on membership in any of the CUGs configured for the interface.


Note You can configure CUG service without any preferential CUG. If a preferential CUG is not configured on the interface, and calls from users attached to this interface to unknown users are permitted, the calls will proceed as non-CUG calls, without generating any CUG IEs.

For each CUG configured on the interface, you can specify that calls to or from other members of the same CUG be denied. In ITU-T terminology, this is called outgoing-calls-barred (OCB) and incoming-calls-barred (ICB), respectively.

Table 17-2 describes the relationship between the ITU-T CUG terminology and Cisco CUG terminology.

outgoing access allowed

permit-unknown-cugs from-user

incoming calls barred (ICB)

deny-same-cug to-user

outgoing calls barred (OCB)

To configure an access interface and the CUG(s) in which the interface is a member, perform the following tasks, beginning in global configuration mode:
Step Command Task
1

interface atm card/subcard/port

Specify an ATM interface and enter interface configuration mode.

2

atm signalling cug access [permit-unknown-cugs {to-user | from-user permanent | both-direction permanent}]

Configure the interface as a CUG access interface.

3

atm signalling cug assign {alias alias_name | interlock-code interlock_code} [deny-same-cug {to-user | from-user}] [preferential]

Configure the CUG where this interface is a member.

Example

The following example shows how to configure an interface as a CUG access interface and assign a preferential CUG.

Switch(config)# interface atm 3/0/0 
Switch(config-if)# atm signalling cug access permit-unknown-cugs both-direction permanent
Switch(config-if)# atm signalling cug assign interlock-code 4700918100000000603E5A790100603E5A790100.12345678 preferential
