Command Description

delay

This command or some of its parameters might not function as expected.

lane config-atm-address

Specifies that the fixed-configuration server ATM address assigned by the ATM Forum is used.

name server-atm-address

To specify or replace the ATM address of the LANE server for the emulated LAN in the configuration server's configuration database, use the name server-atm-address global database configuration command. To remove it from the database, use the no form of this command.

name elan-name server-atm-address atm-address [restricted | un-restricted] [index n] [preempt]

no name elan-name server-atm-address atm-address [restricted | un-restricted] [index n] [preempt]

Syntax Description

elan-name

Name of the emulated LAN. Maximum length is 32 characters.

atm-address

LANE server's ATM address.

restricted | un-restricted

Membership in the named emulated LAN is restricted to the LANE clients explicitly defined to the emulated LAN in the configuration server's database.

index

Command Modes

Database configuration

Command History
Release Modification

11.2(5)

New command

Usage Guidelines

Use the lane database command to enter database configuration mode.

Emulated LAN names must be unique within one named LANE configuration database.

Specifying an existing emulated LAN name with a new LANE server ATM address adds the LANE server ATM address for that emulated LAN for redundant server operation or simple LANE service replication. This command can be entered multiple times.

By default, when a higher-priority LES comes online, it does not preempt the current LES on the same emulated LAN. However, a higher-priority LES configured as preemptable does bump the current LES on the same emulated LAN when the LES comes online.

The no form of this command deletes the relationships.

Examples

The following example configures the example3 database with two restricted and one unrestricted emulated LANs. The clients that can be assigned to the eng and mkt emulated LANs are specified using the client-atm-address command. All other clients are assigned to the man emulated LAN.

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# lane database eng_dbase
Switch(lane-config-database)# lane database example3

The default allows any valid exit port.

Defaults

See "Syntax Description."

Command Modes

PNNI explicit-path configuration

Command History
Release Modification

12.0(3c)W5(9)

New command

Usage Guidelines


Note   See the atm pnni explicit-path command for a description of how to edit or delete an existing next-node path entry.

Node IDs can be entered with either the full 22-byte length address, or as a node ID prefix with a length of 15 bytes or more. To specify routes that include higher-level nodes (parent LGNs) for other peer groups, we recommend that you enter exactly 15 bytes so that the address remains valid in the event of a PGL update.

Node IDs appear in the following format:

  dec: dec: 13-20 hex digits

Note   To display the node IDs that correspond to named nodes in a network, use either the show atm pnni identifier command or the show atm pnni topology command with the node keyword.

Node names can be entered instead of node IDs. If names are used to identify higher-level LGNs, the resulting explicit paths are not guaranteed to remain valid if the PGL changes in the neighboring peer group. To prevent invalid paths, configure all parent LGNs (for all potential PGL nodes) with the same node name.

An exit port can be specified for any entry. The port should be specified as a hexadecimal port ID
rather than as a port name. For excluded entries, only this port is excluded from the path.


Note   To display the corresponding hexadecimal port IDs for a node, use either the show atm pnni identifier command with the port keyword, or the show atm pnni topology command with the node and hex-port-id keywords.

Since the port ID could change if the following neighbor peer group changes PGL leaders, the aggregation token is used in place of the port ID for nodes with higher-level LGNs. The LGN aggregation token can only identify the port uniquely if the following entry is the next-node entry. Aggregation tokens are not allowed for excluded tokens.


Note   Normally, the first next-node entry should specify an adjacent neighbor node. However, if an exit port needs to be specified for the local node, it can appear as entry index 1.

Examples

The following example shows how to perform the following PNNI explicit path configuration tasks:

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# atm pnni explicit-path name boston_2.path1
Switch(cfg-pnni-expl-path)# next-node dallas_2
Switch(cfg-pnni-expl-path)# next-node dallas_4 port 80003004
Switch(cfg-pnni-expl-path)# next-node 40:72:47.009181000000106000000000

Related Commands
Command Description

atm pnni explicit-path

Used to enter PNNI explicit path configuration mode to create or modify PNNI explicit paths.

exclude-node

Specifies a node to exclude from all segments of a partially specified ATM PNNI explicit path.

segment-target

Specifies a target entry in a partially specified PNNI explicit-path.

show atm pnni explicit-paths

Displays a summary of explicit paths that have been configured.

node

To create, delete, enable, or disable PNNI nodes running on this switch and to specify or change the level of a node, use the node ATM router PNNI configuration command. PNNI node configuration mode is started when this command is entered. To remove a previously set node index, use the no form of this command.

node node_index level level_indicator [lowest] [peer-group-identifier] [pg_id | default]
[enable | disable]

no node node_index

Syntax Description

node_index

Specifies the local node index, in the range of 1 to 8, used to identify a PNNI node.

level_indicator

Specifies the PNNI level (position in the PNNI hierarchy), in the range of
1 to 104.

pg_id

Specifies a non-default peer group identifier for the node's peer group. Enter the default keyword in place of an identifier to return from a nondefault value to the default peer group identifier.

lowest

Indicates that the node to be created is a lowest-level node (for example, the node runs over physical links and VPCs). If this is not present when a new node_index is specified, the new node becomes a logical group node that represents a PNNI peer group. A logical group node only becomes active when its child node is elected peer group leader.

Defaults

With the ATM switch router autoconfiguration capabilities, a lowest-level PNNI node with the node index 1 is automatically created and runs on all PNNI interfaces by default (including interfaces determined by ILMI to be PNNI interfaces, and on interfaces configured to run PNNI).

The default level is 56, the proper level for lowest-level nodes using autoconfigured Cisco ATM addresses in a single-level hierarchy.

Command Modes

ATM router PNNI configuration

Command History
Release Modification

12.0(1a)W5(5b)

New command

Usage Guidelines

The level of a node can only be modified when the node is disabled.

The enable and disable options can be used to reinitialize PNNI. For example, the node ID and peer group ID are recalculated based on the switch router's first ATM address and the node level whenever a node is enabled.

For more information, refer to the ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide.

Examples

The following example shows how to enter PNNI node configuration mode.

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# atm router pnni
Switch(config-atm-router)# node 1
Switch(config-pnni-node)# 
 

The following example shows how to create a lowest-level PNNI node with node index 1 at level 96 (assuming no node currently exists on this switch router).

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# atm router pnni
Switch(config-atm-router)# node 1 level 96 lowest
Switch(config-pnni-node)# 

Related Commands
Command Description

Used to assign a 20-byte ATM address to the switch router.

atm router pnni

Used to enter the PNNI configuration mode.

show atm pnni local-node

Displays information about a PNNI logical node running on the switch router.

nodal-representation

To specify the type of PNNI LGN representation, use the nodal-representation PNNI node configuration command.

nodal-representation {simple | complex [threshold threshold-value | radius-only]}

Syntax Description

simple

Specifies the simple PNNI node representation, where an entire child peer group is represented as a single node.

complex

Specifies the complex PNNI node representation.

threshold threshold-value

Threshold percent for the generation of bypass or spoke exceptions. The threshold value ranges from 0 to 2147483647 percent. The default threshold is 60 percent.

radius-only

Advertises radius metrics only with no bypass or spoke exceptions.

Defaults

simple

Command Modes

PNNI node configuration

Command History
Release Modification

12.0(1a)W5(5b)

New command

Usage Guidelines

Larger values for the threshold reduce the number of bypass and spoke exceptions advertised by PNNI. If a metric differs from the default metric and the (larger - smaller)/smaller ratio is greater than the threshold percentage, then an exception spoke, or bypass is advertised.

Lowest-level nodes are not allowed to have complex nodal representation.

The radius-only option suppresses all exceptions.

Examples

The following example shows how to specify nodal representation for radius only.

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# atm router pnni
Switch(config-atm-router)# node 2
Switch(config-pnni-node)# nodal-representation complex radius-only
