Command
Description
To enter map-class configuration mode to define parameters that you will use in specifying a request for an SVC (the SETUP message), use the map-class global configuration command. To delete this class, use the no form of this command.
map-class {atm | dialer | frame-relay} class-name
Syntax Description
atm Specifies the ATM map class for an SVC. dialer Specifies a class of shared configuration parameters associated with the dialer map for an SVC. frame-relay Specifies QoS values for an SVC. class-name User-assigned name of the traffic parameters table.
Defaults
No traffic parameters are defined.
Command Modes

11.1(4) New command
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
If the map class identified by class-name does not already exist, the switch router creates a new one. In either case, this command specifies the map class to which subsequent encapsulation-specific commands apply. Configuration of a map class is allowed only if the subsystem corresponding to the encapsulation is linked.
It is up to the media-specific routing that uses a static map to ensure that the referenced class exists if parameters are required.
Most parameters specified through a map class are used to dictate the contents of the ATD IE present in a SETUP message used to initiate an SVC. These parameters are as follows:
![]() |
Note The 1-parameters specify the traffic characteristics of the aggregate of CLP-0 and CLP-1 cells; the 0-parameters are CLP-0 only. |
When possible, Best Effort is signalled. In UNI 3, a Best Effort Indication is included in the ATD IE only if the contents of the IE consist of forward and backward Peak Cell Rate for CLP 0+1 (and the Best Effort Indication). Therefore, if any of the above parameters other than forward-peak-cell-rate-clp1 and backward-peak-cell-rate-clp1 are specified in the map class, Best Effort cannot be signalled.
It is important that Best Effort is signalled, because this causes a switch to interpret the SETUP as a request for a UBR connection. UBR requests do not cause bandwidth to be reserved per-connection.
If Best Effort cannot be signalled (one of the other parameters is specified in the map class), then this causes a switch to interpret the SETUP as a request for VBR-NRT service.
All combinations of parameters are allowed in the definition of map class. The following recommendations can help to specify a correct set of parameters:
If default traffic parameters are used in the initiation of an SVC, a Best Effort ATD IE is used. The forward and backward peak-cell-rate0+1 values are 24-bits set to "1" (0xffffff). This is a unique value used to indicate that default shaping parameters can be applied.
Examples
The following example establishes traffic parameters for map-class atmclass1.
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# map-class atm atmclass1 ip 172.21.180.121 atm-nsap 12.3456.7890.abcd.0000.00 broadcast class atmclass1 map-class atm atmclass1 atm forward-peak-cell-rate-clp0 8000 atm backward-peak-cell-rate-clp0 8000 main-atm 0 map-group atm atmlist1

Usage Guidelines
This command only applies to interfaces on the route processor card and to terminating connections.
To allow the switch router to propagate routing updates and ARP requests, a static map that maps the protocol address and the ATM address of the next-hop ATM station must be configured. The switch router supports a mapping scheme that identifies the ATM address of remote hosts or switch routers. This address can be specified either as a VCI descriptor for a PVC or an NSAP address for an SVC.
The map-list command specifies the map list to which the subsequent map-list configuration commands apply. These map-list configuration commands identify destination addresses. One map list can contain multiple map entries. A map list can be referenced by more than one interface or subinterface.
Examples
In the following example, to configure ATM static maps for a PVC, a map list named atm is followed by one map statement for protocol addresses being mapped.
Switch# map-list atm Switch(config-map-list)# ip 172.21.168.112 atm-vc 1 broadcast
In the following example for an SVC, a map list named atm includes two map statements for protocol addresses being mapped.
Switch# map-list atm Switch(config-map-list)# ip 172.21.97.165 atm-nsap BC.CDEF.01.234567.890A.BCDE.F012.3456.7890.1234.13 Switch(config-map-list)# ip 172.21.97.166 atm-nsap BC.CDEF.01.234567.890A.BCDE.F012.3456.7890.1234.12

Command
Description
To configure the maximum administrative weight percentage used to determine if an alternate route is acceptable, use the max-admin-weight-percentage ATM router PNNI configuration command. To remove the constraint on administrative weight for alternate routes, use the no form of this command.
max-admin-weight-percentage percentage
Syntax Description
percentage Specifies the maximum acceptable administrative weight for alternate routes as a percentage of the least administrative weight of any route to the destination.
Defaults
Infinity (no constraint on administrative weight for alternate routes).
Command Modes
ATM router PNNI configuration
Command History
11.1(4) New command
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command increases network efficiency by preventing alternate routes that use too many network resources from being specified. The command provides a generalized form of a hop-count limit.
This command only takes effect when background route computation is enabled.
The maximum acceptable administrative weight is equal to the specified percentage of the least administrative weight of any route to the destination (from the background routing tables). For example, if the least administrative weight to the destination is 5040 and the percentage is 300, the maximum acceptable administrative weight for the call is 5040 x 300/100 or 15120.
For more information, refer to the ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide.
Examples
The following script shows how to configure the maximum administrative weight percentage to
300 percent using the max-admin-weight-percentage ATM router PNNI configuration command.
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# atm router pnni Switch(config-atm-router)# max-admin-weight-percentage 300

Modification
Usage Guidelines
This value denotes the number of call failure records to be collected and stored. When the maximum value is reached, the older records are deleted, making way for the newly created records.
The collected records are overwritten when the max-records value is reached. If this field is set to -1, the records are not overwritten. Setting this field to -1 requires increased memory consumption for call failure records storage, and can lead to shortages of available system memory.
Examples
The following example shows setting the maximum number of records to 18.
Switch(config)# max-records 20

Note Changing the MTU value with the mtu interface configuration command can affect values for the protocol-specific versions of the command (ip mtu for example). If the value specified with the ip mtu interface configuration command is the same as the value specified with the mtu command and you change the value for the mtu command, the ip mtu value automatically matches the new mtu value. However, changing the value for the ip mtu command has no effect on the value for the mtu command. |
Examples
The following example specifies an MTU of 4470 bytes.
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# interface atm 0
Switch(config-if)# mtu 4470

Command History
11.1(4) New command
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
In source-route bridged or Token Ring switched networks, only packets with RIF are forwarded by intermediate source-route bridges. To ensure that IP datagrams are transmitted across a Token Ring switch or source-route bridge to and from an ATM switch router, use the multiring command.
When multiring is enabled, the Token Ring LEC strips the RIF information and caches it in its RIF table for incoming IP/ARP packets. It adds a RIF for subsequent IP/ARP response packets to be sent back across the network. Use the show rif command to display the RIF table entries. To configure static RIF entries, use the rif command.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure a subinterface with an IP address and Token Ring LANE LEC, and then enable multiring.
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# interface atm 0.1 Switch(config-subif)# ip address 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.0 Switch(config-subif)# lane client tokenring cisco Switch(config-subif)# multiring ip
