Defaults
When no atm address has been configured, an autoconfigured ATM address is assigned. Refer to the ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide for more information.
Command Modes

Command History
11.1(4) New command
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
You can have multiple ATM addresses. The first address in the list is the active ATM address for this switch router. When you delete the current active ATM address, the next address in the list becomes the active ATM address.
In autoconfiguration mode, the switch router establishes an address according to the format specified in the ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide.
The first 13-byte prefixes of all of the addresses are used by ILMI to assign addresses to end stations connected to the UNI ports (unless there is a prefix assigned per port). PNNI also summarizes all of the address prefixes automatically in reachable address advertisements. Refer to the auto-summary command for more information.
The active ATM address determines which address is advertised by PNNI as the ATM address of the PNNI local-nodes. Each local-node uses the active ATM address with the selector byte modified to match the local-node index.
In addition, the active ATM address is used as the source prefix for generating the PNNI peer group IDs and node IDs. However, the peer group IDs and node IDs are only updated after the local-node is disabled and reenabled. Therefore, it is recommended that a change to the active ATM address should be followed by a disable and enable of PNNI local-node 1, which will also update the identifiers for all higher local-nodes.
For two switches to belong to the same PNNI peer group, they need to have the same peer group identifier. Peer group identifiers must be prefixes of private ATM addresses, which means the organization that administers the peer group has assignment authority over that prefix. For more information, refer to the ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide.
In autoconfiguration mode, all switche routers have the same peer group identifier based on the first seven bytes of the autoconfigured ATM address.
The first 13-byte prefix of the active address is also used to automatically generate ATM addresses for each ATM interface that can be used for soft PVCs and PVPs to identify the destination ATM interface.
Examples
The following example shows how to assign a 20-byte ATM address to the switch.
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# atm address 47.009181000000000000000001
The following example shows how to change the active ATM address for the switch and to update the PNNI local-node identifiers based on the new active ATM address prefix.
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# atm address 47.00918100002
Step 2 Determine the current active ATM address by using the show atm addresses command. Then remove the current active ATM address, so that the desired new address will be the first in the list. If desired, the removed ATM address(es) can then be readded to appear later in the list.
Switch(config)# no atm address 47.00918100000000400B003081.00400B003081.00
Step 3 (Optional) Update all PNNI local-node identifiers by disabling and reenabling local-node 1.
Switch(config)# atm router pnni Switch(config-atm-router)# node 1 disable Switch(config-pnni-node)# node 1 enable
Step 4 (Optional) Save the running configuration to be used as the startup configuration in the event of a reboot.

Command
Description
To enable the switch to engage in address registration on an interface using the ILMI protocol,
and to enable the optional per-interface access filters on ILMI address registration, use the
atm address-registration interface configuration command. To disable ILMI address registration functions on an interface, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
all Permit all AESAs registered by attached end systems. matching-prefix Permit AESAs where the first 13 bytes of the address match an ILMI prefix used on the interface. These ILMI prefixes can be configured using the global atm address command or the per-interface atm prefix command. The ILMI prefixes used on the interface can be shown using the show atm ilmi-status command. wellknown-groups Permit well-known group addresses assigned by the ATM Forum and AESAs that match an ILMI prefix used on the interface. The well-known group addresses include the old LECS address (47.0079.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.00A0.3E00.0001.00) and any address matching the ATM Forum address prefix for well-known addresses. (C5.0079.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.00A0.3E) all-groups Permit all group addresses, including the well-known group addresses, and the AESAs that match an ILMI prefix used on the interface.
Defaults
ILMI address registration is enabled by default. If no optional keywords are configured, the global default access filter for ILMI address registration is used, as specified through the atm ilmi default-access permit global configuration command.
Command Modes

Command History
11.1(4) New command
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
The atm address-registration command does not apply to the ATM 0 interface.
The atm address-registration command enables a switch to participate in ILMI address registration. When the switch is on the network side of a UNI, the switch sets one or more network prefixes on the peer IME and accepts addresses registered by the peer IME. If the interface does not come up as a UNI, then ILMI address registration is not active, even if it was previously configured to be enabled.
The optional keywords allow configuration of per-interface access filters, in order to allow or deny certain ILMI registered addresses. If specified, the per-interface access filter overrides the global default access filter for ILMI address registration.
![]() |
Note If the Cisco SSRP for LAN Emulation is used in this network, ILMI registration of well-known group addresses should be permitted. The SSRP allows the active LECS to register the well-known LECS address with the switch router. Either the permit all, permit matching-prefix wellknown-groups, or permit matching-prefix all-groups option should be configured. |
In order to allow certain addresses to be registered via ILMI, while also restricting them from being advertised through PNNI, the PNNI suppressed summary address feature should be used instead of the access filters for ILMI address registration (see the summary-address command for additional information).
The access filters option of this command allows configuration of per-interface access filters for ILMI registration to override the global defaults of the access filters.
Examples
The following example shows how to disable ILMI address registration on ATM interface 1/0/0.
Switch(config)# interface atm 1/0/0 Switch(config-if)# no atm address-registration
The following example enables ILMI address registration on ATM interface 1/0/0 and configures the per-interface access filter for ILMI address registration to allow well-known group addresses and addresses with matching prefixes.

Modification
Usage Guidelines
When outgoing calls are configured to use the forwarding AESA address as the called party address
(see the atm route command), this AESA is used as the forwarding calling party address.
When incoming calls are received on the interface that specifies the forwarding AESA as the called party address, the called and calling party addresses are removed from the signalling message and replaced by the new called and calling party subaddresses.
This new address is not registered with routing because it is used only as this switch's address for this interface. It is not used as the address of destination from this interface.
The combination of the atm aesa gateway command and the atm-aesa option of the atm route command provides a general mechanism for interconnection of private ATM networks across an ATM service provider. This combination allows one AESA for the interface to the ATM service provider network, with many AESA addresses present in the private network behind the interface.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the AESA gateway address:
Switch(config)# interface atm 0/1/2
Switch(config-if)# atm aesa gateway 91.999999999999999999999999.111111111111.00

Usage Guidelines
This command enables or disables ILMI autoconfiguration procedures, as specified in Section 8.3.3 of the ATM Forum ILMI 4.0 Specification.
Among the variables covered by ILMI autoconfiguration are the interface protocol and version, interface side (user or network), UNI type (public or private), and the maximum number of VPI bits and VCI bits. Configuration of the atm auto-configuration command on an interface overwrites any previous configuration of the atm iisp, atm nni, atm maxvci-bits, and atm maxvpi-bits commands.
When autoconfiguration is enabled, ATM signalling and ILMI are restarted automatically on the interface. When ATM signalling is restarted, all switched virtual connections across the interface are cleared; permanent virtual connections are not affected.
When the peer switch has a device type of node but responds to GetRequest messages for atmfAtmLayerNniSigVersion with noSuchName, the default NNI protocol depends on the ATM routing mode (see the atm routing-mode command). When the ATM routing mode is set to static, the default NNI protocol is IISP. Otherwise, the default NNI protocol is PNNI 1.0. These defaults are relevant when the peer switch is a LightStream 1010 ATM with software version 11.1.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable ILMI autoconfiguration on interface ATM 0/1/2.

To instruct CAC to consider framing overhead, use the atm cac framing overhead interface configuration command. To restore the default (disabled), use the no form of this command.
atm cac framing overhead [force]
Syntax Description
force Including framing overhead while calculating the maximum cell rate of an interface can reduce the maximum equivalent bandwidth that can actually be allocated for guaranteed services on this interface to a value below the currently allocated bandwidth guarantees. If this occurs, this keyword must be used for the change to take effect. This option forces the CAC to account for framing overhead on this interface.
Defaults
Framing overhead is not considered in calculating the MaxCR of an ATM interface.

Usage Guidelines
This command directs CAC to consider framing overhead in calculating the MaxCR of an ATM interface. For example, without this configuration, an OC-3 interface has a cell rate of 155,519 kbps. With the atm cac framing overhead command in effect, the actual cell rate (subtracting SONET framing overhead) is 149,759 kbps.

Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command determines whether overbooking is enabled on an ATM or IMA interface, and specifies the extent of overbooking if enabled. Overbooking causes CAC to expand its concept of the amount of bandwidth available on an interface (receive and transmit) by the percentage specified. This applies to the aggregate bandwidth available on the interface; individual traffic parameters are still limited by the maximum cell rate of the interface in a given direction. Also, the normal limit of 95 percent of MaxCR for guaranteed cell rates (or the appropriate controlled link sharing percentages) applies to the overbooked MaxCR of the interface. The overbooking is expressed as a percentage of the MaxCR of the interface being configured.
An interface must be shut down before any change in the overbooking configuration can be made. (See "Example.") If the overbooking change results in a maximum guaranteed services bandwidth that is below the currently allocated bandwidth guarantees on this interface, then the configuration will be rejected.
Overbooking cannot be configured on regular VP tunnel interfaces and is configurable only on shaped and hierarchical VP tunnel interfaces.
Enabling overbooking is recommended only for advanced users. Enabling overbooking forfeits the protection for guaranteed cell rates provided by the CAC algorithm and hardware.
Examples
In the following example, ATM overbooking is configured for 159 percent of the MaxCR of the interface.
Switch(config-if)# shutdown Switch(config-if)# atm cac overbooking 159 Switch(config-if)# no shutdown

Usage Guidelines
This command sets up the traffic characteristics used in PVC definition. The characteristics are stored as rows of a table. The row index is referenced when a PVC is created using the atm pvc interface command.
When the atm connection-traffic-table-row command is issued without the index clause, the software uses a free row-index, which is displayed to the user if the command is successful.
When the CDVT or MBS parameter is not specified in the creation of a row, a configurable interface default value is chosen to use in UPC. For systems that are capable of dual leaky bucket UPC (Catalyst 8540 MSR with feature card, and Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010 with FC-PFQ), PCR/CDVT is monitored for service categories other than VBR, and for VBR PCR/CDVT and SCR/MBS. For LightStream 1010 with FC-PCQ, a single leaky bucket provides monitoring for PCR/CDVT for service categories other than VBR, and for VBR SCR/MBS.
Six connection traffic table rows are defined by default and are numbered 1 through 6. Row 1 is the default row used by the atm pvc command if no rows are explicitly specified. Rows 2 through 6 might be used for well-known vcs on a vp tunnel subinterface, depending on the service category of the underlying vp. Default rows cannot be deleted.
Row 1 PCR represents the maximum cell-rate (the maximum cell-rate that fits in 24 bits) that you can signal.
When an ABR row is configured, if MCR is not specified, MCR is configured as 0 in the CTT row.
When a VBR CTT row is configured using the scr0 keyword, the switch processor feature card equipped with a dual leaky bucket polices only the CLP-0 flow of cells to the scrval. When the scr10 keyword is used, the CLP-0+1 flow is policed.
Examples
In the following example, a CBR CTT row is defined with an index of 200 and a peak cell rate of 7743 kbps.
Switch(config)# atm connection-traffic-table-row index 200 cbr pcr 7743

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure a native E.164 address that is used to connect to public networks.
When outgoing calls are configured to use forwarding E.164 addresses as the called party address
(see the atm route command), this E.164 address is used as the forwarding calling party address.
When incoming calls are received on the interface that specifies the E.164 address as the called party address, the received called and calling party addresses are removed from the signalling message and replaced by the new received called and calling party subaddresses.
This new address is not registered with routing since it is only used as this switch's address for this interface. It is not used as the address of destinations from this interface.
Note that this address is not used in conjunction with the E.164 translation table feature. The E.164 translation table should only be used when you want a one-to-one correspondence between the NSAP-format ATM end-system address and the native E.164 address, for example, when the public network does not support transport of subaddresses. The combination of the atm e164 address command and the e164 address option of the atm route command provides a general mechanism for interconnection of private networks across a public network. This combination allows one native
E.164 address for the interface to the public network, with many NSAP-format ATM end-system addresses present in the private network behind the interface.
Examples
The following example shows setting the native E.164 address of ATM 0/0/1 to 1341457.

Usage Guidelines
The ATM E.164 translation table is used when a one-to-one translation between NSAP-format ATM end-system addresses and native E.164 addresses is desired. This method for support of native E.164 addresses might be useful when the ATM interface connects to a public network that does not support transport of subaddresses.
Note that the more general mechanism for interconnection to E.164 public networks involves use of the atm e164 address command and the e164-address option of the atm route command. This other mechanism allows one native E.164 address for the interface to the public network, with many NSAP-format ATM end-system addresses present in the private network behind the interface.
When a signalling message attempts to establish a call from an interface configured for ATM E.164 translation, the called and calling party addresses are initially in NSAP format. Using the ATM E.164 translation table, an attempt is made to find the E.164 addresses corresponding to the NSAP addresses. These E.164 addresses are placed into the called and calling party addresses, and the original NSAP addresses are placed into the called and calling party subaddresses.
When a signalling message is received on an interface configured for ATM E.164 translation, the called and calling party addresses are in E.164 format. If the original NSAP-formatted called and calling addresses have been carried in subaddresses, then those addresses are used to forward the call. If subaddresses are not present, due to the network blocking the subaddresses, or the switch at the entry to the E.164 network does not provide subaddresses, an attempt is made to find a match for the E.164 addresses in the ATM E.164 translation table. If there is a match, the NSAP addresses corresponding to the E.164 addresses are placed into the called and calling party addresses. The call is then forwarded using the NSAP addresses.

Usage Guidelines
This command only applies to the route processor interface and subinterfaces.
The NSAP-format ATM end-system address of an interface is used by static maps (refer to the section "Configuring an SVC-Based Map List" in the ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide) and by Classical IP over ATM, as defined in RFC 1577 (refer to the section "Configure Classical IP over ATM in an SVC Environment" in the ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide).
The NSAP-format ATM end-system address of an interface can be configured using either the
atm esi-address or the atm nsap-address command. Configuring a new address on the interface overwrites the previous address. The atm esi-address and atm nsap-address commands are mutually exclusive. Configuring the switch with the atm esi-address command negates the atm nsap-address setting, and vice versa.
The atm esi-address command allows you to configure the ATM address by entering the ESI (12 hexadecimal characters) and the selector byte (2 hexadecimal characters). The ATM address prefix (26 hexadecimal characters) is provided by the ATM switch router (refer to the atm address and
atm prefix commands for more information). The resulting ATM address is registered on the ATM switch router using ILMI address registration.
Examples
The following example sets the ESI to 303132333435 and the selector byte to 36 on ATM subinterface 0.1.

Usage Guidelines
The first form (atm filter-expr name term) defines a simple filter expression that is pattern-matched only if the pattern given by term is matched.
The second form (atm filter-expr name not term) defines a filter expression that is pattern-matched only if the pattern given by term is not matched.
The third form (atm filter-expr name term and term) defines a filter expression that is pattern-matched if either of the patterns given by the two terms are matched.
The fourth form (atm filter-expr name term or term) defines a filter expression that is pattern-matched only if both of the patterns given by the two terms are matched.
The fifth form (atm filter-expr name term xor term) defines a filter expression that is pattern-matched only if one of the patterns, but not both, given by the two terms is matched.
For commands with two termsthat is, commands using logical operators or, and, and xorthe evaluation sequence is from left to right of the expression. Further, for commands using logical operators or and and, the evaluation for the second term is conducted only when necessary, that is, the evaluation for the second term is omitted if the truth or falsehood can already be concluded from the evaluation for the first term.
Examples
The following is sample output from the atm filter-expr command.
Switch(config)# atm filter-expr atm_filter_expr1 not source atm_filter_set1 Switch(config)# atm filter-expr atm_filter_expr2 source atm_filter_set1 and destination atm_filter_set2

Usage Guidelines
If neither permit nor deny is specified, permit is assumed. If an address does not match any
of the filter set entries, an implicit "deny" is returned as the permit/deny action of the filter set.
Filters are set in the same order they were configured. You can change the order (except in a complete NSAP address that has no wildcards) by specifying the optional parameter index.
After you create a filter for a specific interface, associate the filter to that interface by using the
atm access-group command.

Note Before using this command, ILMI autoconfiguration must be disabled. (Refer to the atm auto-configuration command). |
When this command is configured and it causes a change in the interface protocol, version, or side, ATM signalling and ILMI are restarted automatically on the interface. When ATM signalling is restarted, all switch virtual connections across the interface are cleared; permanent virtual connections are not affected. Refer to the ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide for more information about this command.
The atm auto-configuration, atm iisp, and atm nni commands are mutually exclusive. Configuring the atm iisp command overwrites any previous configuration of the atm nni or atm uni commands for this interface. Future configuration of the atm auto-configuration, atm nni, or atm uni command on this interface overwrites the atm iisp command.
For calls to be routed from this interface, one or more static routes must be configured. Refer to the
atm route command.

Command
Description
To set the global default access filter for ILMI-registered addresses on all interfaces, use the
atm ilmi default-access permit global configuration command. To disable the global default access filter, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
all Permit all AESAs registered by attached end systems. matching-prefix Permit AESAs where the first 13 bytes of the address match an ILMI prefix used on the interface. These ILMI prefixes can be configured using the global atm address command or the per-interface atm prefix command. The ILMI prefixes used on the interfaces can be shown using the show atm ilmi-status command. wellknown-groups Permit well-known group addresses assigned by the ATM Forum and AESAs that match an ILMI prefix used on the interface. The well-known group addresses include the old LECS address (47.0079.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.00A0.3E00.0001.00) and any address matching the ATM Forum address prefix for well known addresses.

Usage Guidelines
This command allows specification of a global default access filter for ILMI address registration. The access filter feature allows you to permit or deny certain ILMI registered addresses. The global default access filter takes effect when address registration is enabled on an interface, but no per-interface access filter is specified. For additional information, refer to the atm address-registration command.
![]() |
Note If the Cisco SSRP for LAN Emulation is used in this network, ILMI registration of well-known group addresses should be permitted. This allows the active LECS to register the well-known LECS address with the switch. Either the permit all, permit matching-prefix wellknown groups, or permit matching-prefix all-groups option should be configured. |
The global default-access filter for ILMI registration can be overridden by a per-interface access filter. (See the atm address-registration command.)
You should allow certain addresses to be registered through ILMI; however, to restrict them from being advertised through PNNI, the PNNI suppressed summary address feature should be used instead of the access filters for ILMI address registration. (See the summary-address command.)
Examples
The following example shows how to permit all ILMI-registered addresses.
Switch(config)# atm ilmi default-access permit all Switch(config)# %ATM-5-ILMIDEFACCFILTER: New global default access filter setting will be applied to registration of new addresses on interfaces using global default access filter.

All interfaces default to the no form of this command during initial startup. When this command is in effect, well-known VCs are not automatically created at startup. When this mode is enabled on an interface, the allowed range for VCI values is 5 through 16383, instead of 32 through 16383.
The three additional reserved channel encapsulation types added for the CPU PVCs are QSAAL, PNNI, and ILMI. These specify that the interface is a signalling, PNNI, or ILMI reserved channel.
You must enter the copy running-config command using the startup-config option to disable the automatic creation of default well-known VCs at system startup.
Although the OAM channels for tunnels are well-known channels (VCI 3 and VCI 4), they are not affected by the atm manual-well-known-vc status.
![]() |
Note You should not change the well-known channels to use a VC where the remote end is sending AAL5 messages not intended for this well-known VC. This means you should not swap VC values between two types of well-known VCs. |
When using the no form of this command, if there are existing non-default reserved channel VCs for this interface, you are prompted to confirm that the VC can be automatically deleted. (If you enter no, the command stops abruptly.) Well-known VCs with default configurations are then automatically created for the interface. The default well-known PVCs are no longer shown as part of the running configuration.

If, however, you reinstall the original interface (which had more than 8 bits of VPI), it reconfigures back to 8 bits. If this occurs, the VCs with the VPI set to 255 or higher are sent into a NO HW RESOURCES state. To configure this interface back to a VPI of greater than 8, another interface on the same MSC module must be configured to less than 8 bits. To restore the VC from the NO HW RESOURCES state, toggle the interface using the shut or no shut command. (Catalyst 8540 MSR) |

Usage Guidelines
MBS is used to determine the burst tolerance limit parameter used in the GCRA policing algorithm to police SCR.
MBS can be specified for PVCs through a connection traffic table row. If no MBS is specified in the row, then a per-interface, per-service category default MBS is applied for purposes of UPC on the connection. This command allows for changes to the MBS default.
Examples
The following example shows changing the default MBS for received cells on VBR-RT connections.

Note Before using this command, ILMI autoconfiguration must be disabled. See the atm auto-configuration command. |
When this command is configured and it causes a change in the interface protocol, ATM signalling and ILMI are restarted automatically on the interface. When ATM signalling is restarted, all switched virtual connections across the interface are cleared; permanent virtual connections are not affected.
The PNNI routing and signalling protocol is run over all NNI interfaces, except those interfaces on which signalling was previously disabled (see the atm signalling enable command). To configure an IISP interface, use the atm iisp command.
The atm auto-configuration, atm iisp, and atm nni commands are mutually exclusive. Configuring the atm nni command overwrites any previous configuration of the atm iisp command for this interface. Future configuration of the atm auto-configuration, and atm iisp command on this interface overwrites the atm nni command.
Examples
The following example shows configuring an ATM NNI on logical port card 3, subcard 1, and
port 3, VPI 99.
Switch(config)# interface atm 3/1/3.99 Switch(config-subif)# atm nni

Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command only applies to the route processor interface and subinterfaces.
The NSAP-format ATM end-system address of an interface is used by static maps (refer to the section "Configuring an SVC-Based Map List" in the ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide) and by Classical IP over ATM, as defined in RFC 1577 (see the section "Configure Classical IP over ATM in an SVC Environment" in the ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide).
The NSAP-format ATM end-system address of an interface can be configured using either the
atm esi-address or the atm nsap-address command. Configuring a new address on the interface overwrites the previous address. The atm esi-address and atm nsap-address commands are mutually exclusive. Configuring the switch with the atm esi-address command negates the atm nsap-address setting, and vice versa.
NSAP-format ATM end-system addresses have a fixed length of 40 hexadecimal digits. Configure the address using the following dotted format:
xx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xx
The dots can be omitted.
![]() |
Note ATM addresses configured using the atm nsap-address command are not automatically registered with ATM routing on the switch. In addition to configuring these addresses using the atm nsap-address command, the addresses must be configured as static routes on the route processor interface of the ATM switch router. |
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the NSAP-format ATM end-system address for interface ATM 0.1.
Switch(config)# interface atm 0.1 Switch(config-subif)# atm nsap-address 47.0091.8100.0000.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.00 Switch(config-subif)# exit Switch(config)# atm route 47.0091.8100.0000.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.00 atm0 internal

Usage Guidelines
The over-subscription factor number is a positive integer from 1 through 32. Use this command to determine the initial port queue size. The over-subscription factor is used to size the VBR-NRT and ABR/UBR queues.
The resizing of queues can be overridden using the atm output-queue (Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010) command. Changes to the atm over-subscription-factor command only take place during startup.
The sizing of VBR-NRT and ABR UBR queues is determined by the following equations.
size (vbr-nrt) = .25 * ((osf * 2048) - DefaultSize (cbr) - DefaultSize (vbr-rt)) size (abr-ubr) = .75 * ((osf * 2048) - DefaultSize (cbr) - DefaultSize (vbr-rt))
The default size of the CBR and VBR queues varies by interface type, as defined in Table 2-2.

On systems equipped with the switch processor feature card, the pacing value installed cannot be less than the guaranteed bandwidth allocated on the interface, regardless of the value of the force argument. The force argument indicates that the change should be made even if it results in an output cell-rate that does not provide sufficient bandwidth for guaranteed service on the transmit flow of the interface. An error message is displayed and the command does not take effect if the change impacts guaranteed bandwidth, and the force argument is not present.

Usage Guidelines
This command does not apply to the ATM 0 interface.
Link selection applies whenever the port specified in the DTL is zero and there are multiple interfaces to the next node.
When multiple parallel "alternate" links are considered during call setup, the load-balance link selection is applied to these parallel links. The alternate configuration on some links does not modify the link selection for non-alternate parallel links.
When multiple parallel links are configured inconsistently, the order of precedence of configured values is admin-weight-minimize, blocking-minimize, transmit-speed-maximize, and load-balance. For example, if any link is configured as admin-weight-minimize, that becomes the link selection criteria for the entire group.

This command is used to assign one or more address prefixes to a specific interface that is different from any prefixes based on the switch addresses (see the atm address command). ILMI assigns the prefix to end systems attached to this interface. These prefixes are used as network prefixes during ILMI address registration.
Whenever one or more ILMI address prefix is assigned on an interface, no network prefixes derived from the switch address are used for address registration on that interface.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure an ILMI address prefix on interface ATM 3/1/0.
Switch(config)# interface atm 3/1/0 Switch(config-if)# atm prefix 47123456789012345678112233

Note Shaped and hierarchical tunnels are only supported on systems with FC-PFQ installed. The atm pvp command does not apply to the route processor port or logical port (VP tunnel). |
The commands are used to create or delete the following types of ATM connections on a switch:
Hierarchical VP tunnels can only be defined on slots 0, 2, 8, and 11.
The maximum number of hierarchical VP tunnels that can be supported on the ATM switch router varies from 120 to 240, depending on the port adapter type installed.
If the ATM switch router is entirely populated with LightStream 1010 port adapters installed in carrier modules, hierarchical VP-tunnels can be defined on the following ports, for a total of 120 defined hierarchical VP-tunnels.
If the ATM switch router is entirely populated with OC-12 SuperPAMs, hierarchical VP tunnels can be defined on the following ports, for a total of 240 defined hierarchical VP-tunnels.
For a total of 240 defined hierarchical VP-tunnels.
Any physical port with one or more hierarchical VP tunnels defined cannot have any other VCs or VPs (signalled or permanent) defined on that port (except well-known VCs).
Conversely, to define a hierarchical VP tunnel on a port, all existing VCs or VPs on that port must be removed.
Tag switching must not be configured on a port that has hierarchical VP tunnels defined.

Usage Guidelines
The internal keyword should be used when a static route is configured to an address prefix representing an attached end system (for example, in place of an ILMI address registration).
The type of static route should be exterior, and the internal keyword should not be present when a static route is configured to an address prefix representing end systems attached to a different switch or network.
The scope keyword value translates to a PNNI level according to the PNNI scope map. Refer to the scope map and scope mode commands for more information.
When the e164-address option is included, the specified address-string is passed on as the called party address. The received called party address is passed on as the called party subaddress, the E.164 address of this interface (configured using the atm e164 address command) is passed on as the calling party address, and the received calling party address (if any) is passed on as the calling party subaddress.
If no e164-address is specified, the received called party address and calling party address are passed on unchanged.
When the aesa-gateway option is included, the specified AESA address is passed on as the called party address. The received called party address is passed on as the called party subaddress. The AESA gateway address of this interface (configured using the atm aesa gateway command) is passed on as the calling party address. The received calling party address (if any) is passed on as the calling party subaddress.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to enable and configure soft PVC route optimization to determine when a better route is found. You can also reconfigure the old route after you perform this configuration.
![]() |
Note The atm route-optimization (interface) command must be entered on the same interface where the soft PVCs or PVPs are configured. Route optimization only works for the source end of a soft PVC or PVP and is ignored if entered on the destination interface. |
The time-of-day parameter is used as a filter to determine if route optimization is acceptable when the interval timer activates.
To ensure that route optimization takes place at least once a day, set the interval to a smaller value than the time range. After route-optimization starts, it runs until it is finished regardless of the time range. All connections on this interface subject to route optimization are checked to see if better paths exist. When better paths are found, the connections are rerouted.

Note The atm route-optimization (interface) command can also be used to configure route optimization for Frame Relay interfaces. |
Examples
The following example enables soft PVC route optimization on interface ATM 0/1/2, with the time period of 120 minutes.
Switch(config)# interface atm 0/1/2 Switch(config-if)# atm route-optimization soft-connection interval 120
The following example configures a soft PVC with route optimization interval configured as every 30 minutes between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.

Usage Guidelines
This command takes effect on the next reboot.
Switch behavior in static routing mode is analogous to that of the LightStream 1010 default IISP software images of Cisco IOS Release 11.1. Without any restrictions on the routing mode, PNNI functionality is available on all interfaces.
This command differs from deletion of all PNNI nodes (using the node command) because it affects ILMI autoconfiguration. When the switch is in static routing mode, for each interface, the ILMI variable atmfAtmLayerNniSigVersion for the switch is set to iisp. This causes ILMI autoconfiguration on interfaces between two switches to determine an interface type of IISP, unless the switch on the other side indicates that the NNI signalling protocol is not supported.
Examples
The following example shows configuration of a switch to allow only static routing.
Switch(config)# atm routing-mode static

The AAL5 IE has a mode field in UNI version 3.0. This mode field was removed in UNI version 3.1. When a setup request arrives from a UNI 3.1 side connection, the AAL5 IE does not have the mode information. Some vendor switches and end systems reject the connection because the mode information is missing. To allow interoperability, this atm signalling ie aal5 mode interface configuration command allows, by default, a message mode field to be added statically on UNI 3.0 side connections even if one was not received from the other side, for example, from a UNI 3.1 connection.

Usage Guidelines
The atm signalling vpci subinterface command allows you to configure the VPCI to be different from VPI when configuring PVP tunnels.
The connection identifier IE is used in signalling messages to identify the corresponding user information flow. The connection identifier IE contains the VPCI and VCI.
For example, if you want to configure a PVP tunnel connection from a LightStream 1010 ATM switch on VPI 2, VCI X, to a router with a virtual path switch in between, the signalling message would contain connection ID VPI 2, VCI X. Since the PVP tunnel at the router end is on VPI 3, VCI X, the connection will be refused. By configuring VPCI to 3, you can configure the signalling message explicitly to contain connection ID VPI 3, VCI X, instead of containing VPI 2, VCI X.
This command could also be used to support virtual UNI connections.
Examples
The following example configures a PVP tunnel on ATM interface 0/0/0, PVP 99, and then configures the connection ID VCPI as 0 in subinterface configuration mode.
Switch(config)# config terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Switch(config)# interface atm 1/0/0 Switch(config-if)# atm pvp 99 Switch(config-if)# exit Switch(config)# interface atm 1/0/0.99 Switch(config-subif)# atm signalling vpci 0 Switch(config-subif)# end Switch#

Cells transmitted from the snoop test port are copies of cells from a single direction of a monitored port. For Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010, this restriction is only for FC-PCQ-based systems.
When in snoop mode, any prior permanent virtual connections to the snoop test port remain in the down state.
The port number of the test port depends on the card type. Table 2-10 defines the ATM snoop test port number for various interfaces.
| Interface | Port Number |
|---|---|
OC-3 | 3/1/3 |
OC-12 | 3/1/0 |
DS3/E3 | Not supported |
Examples
The following example configures the port in the snoop mode to monitor port card 1, subcard 0, and port 2 in the transmit direction, starting from the configuration mode.
Switch(config)# interface atm 3/1/3 Switch(config-if)# shutdown Switch(config-if)# atm snoop-vp interface atm 1/0/2 1 13 direction transmit Switch(config-if)# no shutdown

Syntax Description
source-vpi Source VPI number. source-vci Source VCI number. dest-address atm-address ATM address for the destination port. dest-vpi Destination VPI number. dest-vci Destination VCI number. enable Allows the soft connection to be set up; enable is the default for the initial soft connection configuration. disable Prevents an initial soft connection from being set up, or tears down an existing connection. upc upc Usage parameter control, specified as pass | tag | drop. Default is pass. The upc option can be set to tag or drop only when the connection is not the leaf of a point-to-multipoint connection. pd pd Intelligent packet discard option, specified as on | off. The default is off. rx-cttr index Connection traffic table row index in the received direction. tx-cttr index Connection traffic table row index in the transmitted direction. retry-interval Configures the retry interval timers for a soft PVC. 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 is made at intervals computed using the first retry-interval as follows: (2 ** (k-1)) * first retry-interval Where the value of k is 1 for the first retry after the first failed attempt and will be incremented by 1 for every subsequent attempt. Range is from 100 to 3600000 milliseconds; the default is 5000 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 is from 1 to 65535 seconds; the default is 60. 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 will use the newer explicit-path configuration. explicit-path The PNNI explicit path that is manually configured for routing a soft PVC, using the atm pnni explicit-path command. precedence The precedence number by which ATM PNNI explicit paths are assigned, from1 to 3. Up to three explicit paths can be assigned to a soft PVC. name path-name The name of the ATM PNNI explicit path for routing soft PVCs. identifier path-id Specifies the path ID for the explicit path being configured to route soft PVCs. upto partial-entry-index Allows a subset of a longer explicit path to be used, so that all included nodes after the specified entry index will be disregarded. If the destination is reachable at any next node or segment target, the remaining included nodes in the explicit path are disregarded automatically. only-explicit If one or more explicit paths have been specified and if the explicit path fails, the soft connection will remain down until it is retried at its next retry interval. If this option is not specified, the system uses the standard on-demand routing instead of waiting for the next retry interval.

Note Note: If the soft-connection command is reentered for an existing connection, the default is the current enabled or disabled state.
The cttr should be configured before using the atm pvc command.
See the atm connection-traffic-table-row command for information on configuring the rx-cttr. The default is 1.

Usage Guidelines
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 why the creation of a soft PVC might be 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 soft PVC. Use the redo-explicit form of the command to respecify all of the explicit path options.
After configuring a soft PVC, use the show atm vc interface command on the source node (specifying the source VPI and source VCI) to verify that the soft PVC has succeeded and to see the explicit path taken.

Switch(config)# atm threshold-group 3 max-queue-limit 16383
Related Commands
Specifies the threshold at which the per-connection queue is considered full for CLP discards and EPD. Specifies the threshold at which the per-connection queue is considered full for EFCI marking and ABR relative-rate marking. Specifies the maximum number of cells queued for all connections that are members of a specified threshold group. Sets the smallest per-VC queue limit for a specified threshold group. Displays the ATM layer connection information about the virtual path.
Command
Description
To set the smallest per-VC queue limit for a specified threshold group, use the
atm threshold-group min-queue-limit global configuration command. To reset the minimum queue limit for a particular threshold group to the default value, use the no form of this command.

atm threshold-group [module-id id-num] tg-num min-queue-limit cellsCatalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010
atm threshold-group tg-num min-queue-limit cells
Syntax Description
id-num Module identification number. (Catalyst 8540 MSR) tg-num Threshold group number, in the range of 1 to 6. cells Number of cells. This value is limited to the lesser of 1023 or the value specified by the atm threshold-group max-queue-limit command.
Defaults
Depends on the threshold group.

Usage Guidelines
As the threshold group becomes congested (the cumulative number of cells on the queues of VCs in the threshold group approaches the configured max-cells value), the maximum number of cells per-queue shrinks from the threshold group max-queue-limit to the min-queue-limit.

Command
Description
To define an ATM map statement for a PVC, use the atm-vc map-list configuration command in conjunction with the map-list global configuration command. To remove the address, use the
no form of this command.
Syntax Description
protocol The keyword ip. protocol-address The destination address being mapped to this PVC. vci Is 31 < vci < 2**14 - 1 (default max-VCI bits is 14). class-name The name of a table that contains encapsulation-specific parameters. Such a table can be shared between maps that have the same encapsulation. broadcast This map entry is to be used when the corresponding protocol sends broadcast packets to the interface. aal5mux Specifies AAL5 multiplexing encapsulation. The default is snap.
Defaults
No map statements are defined.
