format

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.
Syntax Description

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 PCMCIA slot on the route processor card.

· slot1: This device is the second PCMCIA 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 PCMCIA slot and is the initial default device.

· slot1: This device is the second PCMCIA 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.

Default

The default monlib file is the one bundled with the system software.

Command Mode

Privileged EXEC

Usage Guidelines

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.

Example

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.

Usage Guidelines

When you create a connection traffic table row, the Frame Relay parameters are converted into the ATM equivalent parameters and a row is added into the ATM connection traffic table. The table index values are shared by the Frame Relay connection table and the ATM connection table. If you specify the index in the command, the index value is available in the ATM connection table. As a result of the index value being linked to the ATM connection traffic table, the index values in the Frame Relay connection traffic table might not be contiguous.

Example

The following example shows how to create a table entry with a row index of 150, committed information rate of 1024000, committed burst size of 16334, peak information rate of 1024000, excess burst size of 20, and the abr service category with an ATM row index 250.

frame-relay overbooking

To set the percentage of overbooking of committed information rate (CIR), use the frame-relay overbooking command. To disable CIR overbooking, use the no form of this command.

frame-relay overbooking percent
no frame-relay overbooking
Syntax Description

percent

The percent of interface bandwidth from 101 to 1000.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

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 will increase the available bit rates for the Frame Relay PVC and soft-VC but it will 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 CIR overbooking factor is configured.

You should have a thorough understanding of network traffic patterns when using the frame relay overbooking command. Excess traffic arriving at an overbooked Frame Relay interface may lead to discarded or discard eligible (DE) tagged frames.

Example

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

Syntax Description

dlci_a

Data Link Connection identifier on the Soft PVC source interface ranging from 16 to 1007, which specifies a PVC in a Frame Relay network.

dest-address address

Destination NSAP address.

dlci dlci_b

Data Link Connection identifier on the Soft PVC destination interface, ranging from 16 to 1007, which specifies a PVC in a Frame Relay network.

upc {tag-drop | pass}

Usage parameter control, specified as pass or tag-drop. The default is pass, which derives from the per-interface default value configured through the frame-relay upc-intent command.

rx-cttr index

Frame Relay connection traffic table row index in the received direction. The default is 100.

tx-cttr index

Frame Relay connection traffic table row index in the transmitted direction. The default is 100.

retry-interval

To configure retry interval timers for a Soft-VC.

first retry-interval

Retry interval for the first retry after the first failed attempt specified in milliseconds.

If the first retry after the first failed attempt also fails, the subsequent attempts will be made at intervals computed using the first retry-interval as follows:

(2 ** (k-1)) * first retry-interval

Where the value of k will be 1 for the first retry after the first failed attempt and will be incremented by 1 for every subsequent attempt.

[Range: 100 to 3,600,000 milliseconds] The default is 5,000 milliseconds.

maximum
retry-interval

The maximum retry interval between any two attempts specified in seconds.

Once the retry interval is computed in the first retry-interval and becomes equal to or greater than the maximum retry-interval configured, the subsequent retries will be done at regular intervals of maximum retry-interval seconds until the call is established.

[Range: 1 to 65,535 seconds] The default is 60.

clp-bit {0 | 1 | map-de}

Sets the mode of DE/CLP mapping in Frame Relay to the ATM direction. Options 0, 1, or map-DE are allowed for both network interworking and service interworking. The default is map-de.

map-de---Specifies mode 1 described in 4.2.1 of FRF.8:
"The DE field in the Q.922 core frame shall be mapped to the ATM CLP field of every cell generated by the segmentation process of the AAL5 PDU containing the information of that frame." Similarly, it applies to mode 1 of 4.4.1 of FRF.5.

0 or 1---Specify mode 2 described in 4.2.1 of FRF.8:
"The ATM CLP of every ATM cell generated by the segmentation process of the AAL5 PDU containing the information of that frame shall be set to a constant value (either 0 or 1) configured at service subscription time." Similarly, it applies to mode 2 of 4.4.1 of FRF.5.

de-bit [0 | 1 | map-de | map-clp | map-clp-or-de]

Sets the mode of CLP/DE mapping in ATM to the Frame Relay direction.

For Network Interworking:

Option map-de, or map-clp-or-de are allowed. The default value is map-clp-or-de.

map-clp-or-de---Specifies mode 1 described in 4.4.2 of FRF.5:
"If one or more ATM cells belonging to a frame has its CLP field set to 1 or if the DE field of the FR-SSCS PDU is set to 1, the IWF shall set the DE field of the Q.922 core frame."

map-de---Specifies mode 2 described in 4.4.2 of FRF.5:
"No mapping is performed from the ATM layer to Q.922 core layer. The FR-SSCS PDU DE field is copied unchanged to the Q.922 core frame DE field, independent of CLP indication(s) received at the ATM layer."

For Service Interworking:

Option 0, 1, or map-clp are allowed. The default value is map-clp.

map-clp---Specifies mode 1 described in 4.2.2 of FRF.8:
"If one or more cells belonging to a frame has its CLP field set, the IWF shall set the DE field of the Q.922 core frame."

0 or 1---Specify mode 2 described in 4.2.2 of FRF.8:
"The DE field of the Q.922 core frame shall be set to a constant value (either 0 or 1) configured at service subscription time."

vpi_b

ATM virtual path identifier.

vci_b

ATM virtual channel identifier.

pd {on | off}

Specifies the intelligent packet discard option as on or off. The default is off.

network | service [transparent | translation]

Specifies the interworking function, which can be either network interworking or service interworking in transparent mode or service interworking in translation mode. In the case of Soft VCs that originate from a Frame Relay interface and end on a Frame Relay interface, the default interworking type is network-interworking. In the case of Soft VCs that originate from a Frame Relay interface and end on an ATM interface, the default interworking type is service-interworking in translational mode.

efci-bit {0 | map-fecn}

For service interworking only. Sets the mode of FECN/EFCI mapping in Frame Relay to the ATM direction. The default value is 0.

Default

See syntax descriptions.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Because soft-VCs are created over ATM networks, the destination address is an ATM address plus either DLCI if the remote end is a Frame Relay interface, or VPI/VCI if it is an ATM interface.

Like Frame Relay to Frame Relay PVC, Frame Relay to Frame Relay soft-VC uses network interworking with FECN mapping, DE-BIT mapping, and CLP-BIT mapping.

Example

The following example configures a Frame Relay soft VC 500 on serial interface 11/0/0:1 to Frame Relay NSAP address 47.0091..., DLCI 150.

Switch(config)# interface serial 11/0/0:1
Switch(config-if)# frame-relay soft-vc 500 dest-address 47.0091.8100.0000.0040.0b0a.2a81.4000.0c84.8000.00 dlci 150

frame-relay upc-intent

To configure the UPC to be programmed for the soft VCs terminating on an interface, use the frame-relay upc-intent interface configuration command. To assign the default value, use the no form of this command.

frame-relay upc-intent {pass | tag-drop}
no frame-relay upc-intent

Syntax Description

{pass | tag-drop}

Usage parameter control, specified as pass or tag-drop.

Default

Pass

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

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.

Example

The following example shows how to set the intended UPC for SVCs on an interface to tag-drop.

Switch(config)# interface serial 11/0/0:1 
Switch(config-if)# frame-relay upc-intent tag-drop
Related Command

framing (controller)

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.

The syntax for the channelized E1 Frame Relay port adapter is:

framing {crc | no-crc4}
Syntax Description

crc4

Specifies CRC-4 enabled E1 Framing. This option is valid for E1 Frame Relay controllers.

no-crc4

Selects E1 framing without CRC-4 generation. This option is valid for E1 Frame Relay controllers.

Default

crc4

Default for 4CE1 FR-PAM port adapters.

Command Mode

Controller configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use the framing controller configuration command to specify the type of framing used by the channelized E1 interface If you do not specify the framing type, the default crc4 is used by 4CE1 Frame Relay port adapter.

Example

The following example shows how to set the framing for the Frame Relay E1 port adapter to no-CRC4.

Switch(config)# controller e1 11/0/0
Switch(config-controlle)# framing no-crc4
