Configuring ATM Router Module Interfaces

Configuring ATM Router Module Interfaces

This chapter describes steps required to configure the ATM router module on the Catalyst 8540 MSR, Catalyst 8510 MSR, and LightStream 1010 ATM switch routers. The ATM router module allows you to integrate Layer 3 switching with ATM switching on the same ATM switch router.


Note   This chapter provides advanced configuration instructions for the Catalyst 8540 MSR, Catalyst 8510 MSR, and LightStream 1010 ATM switch routers. For complete descriptions of the commands mentioned in this chapter, refer to the ATM  Switch Router Command Reference publication. For hardware installation and cabling instructions, refer to the ATM Port Adapter and Interface Module Installation Guide .


Note   ATM router module and Layer 3 feature support is only available with the Catalyst 8510 MSR system software image. You can download this image to a LightStream 1010 ATM switch router with ASP-C and FC-PFQ installed. The LightStream 1010 image does not include support for the ATM router module or Layer 3 features.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Overview of the ATM Router Module

The ATM router module interface module allows you to integrate Layer 3 routing and ATM switching within a single chassis. When you install the ATM router module, you no longer need to choose either Layer 3 or ATM technology, as is frequently the case with enterprise campus and MAN applications.

The Catalyst 8540 MSR ATM router module offers the following benefits:

The Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010 ATM router module offers the following benefits:

The ATM router module has no external interfaces. All traffic is sent and received through internal interfaces to the switching fabric. The Catalyst 8540 MSR ATM router module has two internal ports and for the Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010 ATM router module has one internal port.

The ATM router module can perform one or more of the functions described in Figure 21-1.


Figure 21-1: ATM Router Module Routing and Bridging Functions


The ATM router module receives Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) messages and route broadcasts from connected ATM peers and sends the appropriate control information to the route processor. On the ATM side, the ATM router module connects to the switching fabric as would any other interface module.

On the Catalyst 8540 MSR, the ATM router module supports LANE clients (LECs), but not the LANE servers (LES, LECS, and BUS). It separates the control and data path so that all LANE control messages are handled by the route processor, and data messages are switched on the ATM router module port, as shown in Figure 21-2. The LEC is configured on the ATM router module interface, but control message traffic is sent to the route processor by the ATM router module. The ATM router module sends all ATM data traffic to the appropriate VCs.

ATM Router Module Traffic Flow (Catalyst 8540 MSR)


Hardware and Software Restrictions

The following hardware restrictions apply to the Catalyst 8540 MSR, Catalyst 8510 MSR, and LightStream 1010 ATM router modules:


Note   The ATM router module is only supported on ATM switches which have ASP-C with FC-PFQ installed.

The following software restrictions apply to the Catalyst 8540 MSR, Catalyst 8510 MSR, and LightStream 1010 ATM router modules:

The Catalyst 8540 MSR, Catalyst 8510 MSR, and LightStream 1010 ATM router modules do not support the following features:

The following software restrictions apply to the Catalyst 8540 MSR ATM router modules:

The following software restrictions apply to Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010 ATM router modules:


Note   The ATM router module is only supported on ATM switches which have ASP-C with FC-PFQ installed.


Note   ATM router module and Layer 3 feature support is only available with the Catalyst 8510 MSR system software image. You can download this image to a LightStream 1010 ATM switch router with ASP-C and FC-PFQ installed. The LightStream 1010 image does not include support for the ATM router module or Layer 3 features.

Configuring ATM Router Module Interfaces

The you can configure the following features directly on the ATM router module interfaces:


Note   This document describes how to configure ATM software features only. For information on how to configure the Layer 3 modules that interoperate with the ATM router module in the Catalyst 8540 MSR chassis, refer to the Layer  3 Switching Software Feature and Configuration Guide, which is available on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your ATM switch router, online at Cisco Connection Online, or you can order a hard copy separately.


Note   ATM router modules have internal interfaces, but no external ports. Use the interface atm card/subcard/port command to specify these interfaces.


Note   Virtual path identifier (VPI) 2 is reserved for ATM router module interfaces, which allows you to configure up to 2048 external VCs on each ATM router module interface. Using VPI 0 would have allowed less than 1024 external VCs on an ATM router module interface because the ATM router module external VCs would have been forced to share the VC space within VPI 0 with the internal PVCs.

Default ATM Router Module Interface Configuration Without Autoconfiguration

If ILMI is disabled or if the connecting end node does not support ILMI, the following defaults are assigned to all ATM router module interfaces:

Manual ATM Router Module Interface Configuration

To manually change the default configuration values, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose

Step 1 

Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port

Switch(config-if)#

Specifies an ATM interface and enters interface configuration mode.

Step 2 

Switch(config-if)# atm maxvci-bits max-vci-bits

Modifies the maximum number of active VCI bits.

Example

The following example shows how to change the default number of active VCI bits:

Switch(config)# interface atm 0/0/0
Switch(config-if)# atm maxvci-bits 10

Configuring LECs on ATM Router Module Interfaces (Catalyst 8540 MSR)

The procedures for configuring LANE clients (LECs) on the ATM router module are the same as the configuration for LECs on the route processor, with one exception. To specify an ATM router module interface, rather than the route processor interface, use the interface atm card/subcard/port command. On the route processor, you would use the interface atm 0 command.


Note   To route traffic between an emulated LAN and a Fast Ethernet (FE) or Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interface, you must configure the LEC on an ATM router module interface rather than a route processor interface.


Note   An ATM router module interface can be configured for either LECs or RFC 1483 PVCs, not both. For both features to operate on the same ATM router module, configure LECs on one interface and RFC 1483 PVCs on the other.

To configure a LEC on an ATM router module interface, use the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose

Step 1 

Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port.subinterface# multipoint

Switch(config-subif)#

Creates the ATM router module point-to-multipoint subinterface and enters subinterface mode.


Note   The ATM router module only supports point-to-multipoint subinterfaces.

Step 2 

Switch(config-subif)# ip address ip-address mask

Provides a protocol address for the client on this subinterface.

Step 3 

Switch(config-subif)# lane client ethernet elan-name

Enables a LANE client for an emulated LAN.

Example

The following example shows how to configure two LECs on an ATM router module interface:

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface atm 1/0/0.4 multipoint
Switch(config-subif)# ip address 40.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
Switch(config-subif)# lane client ethernet VLAN4
Switch(config-subif)# exit
Switch(config)# interface atm 1/0/0.5 multipoint
Switch(config-subif)# ip address 50.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
Switch(config-subif)# lane client ethernet VLAN5
Switch(config-subif)# exit
Switch(config)# router ospf 1
Switch(config-router)# network 40.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 0
Switch(config-router)# network 50.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 0
 

For more information on configuring LECs on ATM router module interfaces, see the "Configuring a LAN Emulation Client on the ATM Switch Router" section. For a detailed description of LANE and its components, refer to Cisco  IOS Switching Services Configuration Guide: Virtual LANs.

LEC Configuration Examples

The examples in this section show how to configure LANE clients (LECs) on networks with two routers and one Catalyst 8540 MSR. For detailed information on configuring the LANE server (LES), LANE configuration server (LECS), and broadcast-and-unknown server (BUS), refer to "Configuring LAN Emulation."


Caution For performance reasons, avoid configuring the LANE server components on ATM switch routers. Instead, configure the LANE server components on a router such as a Cisco 7500 series router or a Catalyst 5500 router with a LANE module installed.

LANE Routing Over ATM

Confirming the LEC Configuration

To confirm the LEC configuration on the ATM switch router, use the following EXEC commands:

Command
Purpose

show lane [interface atm card/subcard/port[.subinterface#] |
name elan-name] [brief]

Displays the global and per-virtual channel connection LANE information for all the LANE components and emulated LANs configured on an interface or any of its subinterfaces.

show lane client [interface atm card/subcard/port[.subinterface#] |
name elan-name] [brief]

show lane config [interface atm card/subcard/port[.subinterface#]]

Displays the global and per-VCC LANE information for the configuration server configured on any interface.

Configuring RFC 1483

This section describes how to configure multiprotocol encapsulation over ATM, as defined in RFC 1483, on the ATM router module.

The primary use of RFC 1483 is to carry multiple Layer 3 and bridged frames over ATM. RFC 1483 traffic is routed through an ATM router module interface using static map lists. Static map lists provide an alternative to using the ATM Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and ATM Inverse ARP (InARP) mechanisms. For more information on static map lists, refer to the "Mapping a Protocol Address to a PVC Using Static Map Lists" section.

For a detailed description of RFC 1483, refer to the Guide to ATM Technology .


Note   Traffic shaping and policing are not supported on the ATM router module interfaces. Use VP tunnels as an alternative for traffic shaping on ATM connections. For more information on VP tunnels, refer to the "Configuring VP Tunnels" section.

To configure multiprotocol encapsulation over ATM on the ATM router module interface, use the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose

Step 1 

Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port.subinterface# multipoint

Switch(config-subif)#

Creates the ATM router module point-to-multipoint subinterface and enters subinterface mode.


Note   The ATM router module only supports point-to-multipoint subinterfaces.

Step 2 

Switch(config-subif)# ip address ip-address mask

Enters the IP address and subnet mask associated with this interface.

Step 3 

Switch(config-subif)# map-group name

Enters the map group name associated with this PVC.

Step 4

Configures the PVC.


Note   The VPI number on the ATM router module interface must be 2.

Step 5 

Switch(config-subif)# exit

Switch(config)#

Returns to global configuration mode.

Step 6 

Switch(config)# map-list name

Switch(config-map-list)#

Creates a map list by naming it, and enters map-list configuration mode.

Step 7 

Switch(config-map-list)# ip ip-address {atm-nsap address | atm-vc vci} [broadcast]

Associates a protocol and address with a specific virtual circuit.

Example

The following example shows how to configure RFC 1483 on an ATM router module interface, beginning in global configuration mode:

Switch(config)# interface atm 1/0/0.1011 multipoint
Switch(config-subif)# ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
Switch(config-subif)# map-group net1011
Switch(config-subif)# atm pvc 2 1011 interface atm 3/0/0 0 1011 encap aal5snap
Switch(config-subif)# exit
Switch(config)# map-list net1011
Switch(config-map-list)# ip 10.1.1.2 atm-vc 1011
Switch(config-map-list)# end
Switch# 

RFC 1483 Configuration Example

The following example shows how to configure for RFC 1483 with two routers and one ATM switch router.

The ATM switch router has an ATM router module in slot 0, a Fast Ethernet interface module in slot 1, and an ATM interface module in slot 3. One router has an ATM interface processor in slot 3. The other router has a Fast Ethernet interface module in slot 2.

Figure 21-6 shows an example of an RFC 1483 network.

Configuring Classical IP over ATM in a PVC Environment

This section describes how you configure classical IP over ATM, as described by RFC 1577, in a PVC environment on the ATM router module. The ATM Inverse ARP (InARP) mechanism is applicable to networks that use permanent virtual channels (PVCs), where connections are established but the network addresses of the remote ends are not known. For more information on configuring ATM ARP and ATM InARP, refer to the "Configuring Classical IP over ATM" section.

For a description of classical IP over ATM and RFC 1577, refer to the Guide to ATM Technology .

In a PVC environment, configure the ATM InARP mechanism on the ATM router module by performing the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose

Step 1 

Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port

Switch(config-if)#

Specifies the interface on the ATM router module to configure.

Step 2 

Switch(config-if)# ip address ip-address mask

Specifies the IP address of the interface.

Step 3 

Switch(config-if)# atm pvc 2 vci interface atm card/subcard/port vpi vci encap aal5snap [inarp minutes]

Creates a PVC and enables ATM InARP.


Note   The VPI number on the ATM router module interface must be 2.

Repeat these tasks for each PVC you want to create.

The inarp minutes interval specifies how often inverse ARP datagrams are sent on this virtual circuit. The default value is 15 minutes.

Example

The following example shows how to configure an IP-over-ATM interface on interface ATM 3/0/0, using a PVC with AAL5SNAP encapsulation, InARP set to ten minutes, VPI = 2, and VCI = 100:

Switch(config)# ip host-routing
Switch(config)# interface atm 3/0/0
Switch(config-if)# ip address 11.11.11.11 255.255.255.0
Switch(config-if)# atm pvc 2 100 interface atm 0/0/0 50 100 encap aal5snap inarp 10
 

Configuring Bridging

All PVCs configured on ATM router module interfaces are used for bridging.

To configure bridging on an ATM router module interface, use the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose

Step 1 

Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port

Switch(config-if)#

Specifies the interface on the ATM router module to configure.

Step 2 

Switch(config-if)# atm pvc 2 vci interface atm card/subcard/port vpi

Note   The VPI number on the ATM router module interface must be 2.

Step 3 

Switch(config-if)# bridge-group number

Assigns the interface to a bridge group.

Step 4 

Switch(config-if)# end

Switch(config)#

Returns to global configuration mode.

Step 5 

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet card/subcard/port

Switch(config-if)#

Specifies the Fast Ethernet interface to configure.

Step 6 

Switch(config-if)# no cdp enable

Disables Cisco Discovery Protocol on the interface.

Step 7 

Switch(config-if)# bridge-group number

Assigns the interface to a bridge group.

Step 8 

Switch(config-if)# end

Switch(config)#

Returns to global configuration mode.

Step 9 

Switch(config)# bridge 5 protocol ieee

Specifies IEEE 802.1D Spanning-Tree Protocol for the bridge group.

Example

The following example shows how to configure bridging on a Catalyst 8540 MSR with a Fast Ethernet interface module in slot 0, an ATM interface module in slot 1, and an ATM router module in slot 3.

Figure 21-7 shows an example bridging network.


Figure 21-7: Example Network for Bridging


Switch(config)# interface atm 3/0/0
Switch(config-if)# atm pvc 2 200 interface atm 1/0/0 0 200
Switch(config-if)# bridge-group 5
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0/0
Switch(config-if)# no cdp enable
Switch(config-if)# bridge-group 5
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch(config)# bridge 5 protocol ieee

Configuring Packet Flooding on a PVC

Typically, a specific static map list configuration is not required for bridging to occur. In case of packet flooding, the bridging mechanism individually sends the packet to be flooded on all PVCs configured on the interface. To restrict the broadcast of the packets to only a subset of the configured PVCs you must define a separate static map list. Use the broadcast keyword in the static-map command to restrict packet broadcasting.

Command Purpose

Step 1 

Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port

Switch(config-if)#

Specifies the interface to configure on the ATM router module.

Step 2 

Switch(config-if)# no ip address

Disables IP processing.

Step 3 

Switch(config-if)# no ip directed-broadcast

Disables the translation of directed broadcasts to physical broadcasts.

Step 4 

Switch(config-if)# map-group number

Enters the map group name associated with this PVC.

Step 5 

Switch(config-if)# atm pvc 2 vci-A interface atm card/subcard/port vpi-B

Configures a PVC.


Note   The VPI number on the ATM router module interface must be 2.

Step 6 

Switch(config-if)# bridge-group number

Assigns the interface to a bridge group.

Step 7 

Switch(config-if)# end

Switch(config)#

Returns to global configuration mode.

Step 8 

Switch(config)# map-list name

Switch(config-map-list)#

Creates a map list by naming it, and enters map-list configuration mode.

Step 9 

Switch(config-map-list)# bridge atm-vc number broadcast

Enables packet flooding on a PVC.

Example

In the following example only PVC 2, 200 is used for packet flooding:

Switch(config)# interface atm 3/0/0
Switch(config-if)# no ip address
Switch(config-if)# no ip directed-broadcast
Switch(config-if)# map-group bg_1
Switch(config-if)# atm pvc 2 200 interface atm 1/0/1 0 200 
Switch(config-if)# atm pvc 2 201 interface atm 1/0/1 0 300 
Switch(config-if)# bridge-group 5
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch(config)# map-list bg_1
Switch(config-map-list)# bridge atm-vc 200 broadcast
 

Note   For more information about bridging, refer to the Layer 3 Switching Software Feature and Configuration Guide.

Displaying the Bridging Configuration

To display the bridging configuration on the ATM router module interface, use the following privileged EXEC command:

Command
Purpose
