This chapter describes how to explicitly configure ATM network interface types. Explicitly configuring interfaces is the alternative to Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI) autoconfiguration, which senses the peer interface type and appropriately configures the interface on the 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 a discussion and examples of ATM network interface types, refer to the Guide to ATM Technology . For complete descriptions of the commands mentioned in this chapter, refer to the ATM Switch Router Command Reference publication. |
The network configuration tasks described in this chapter are used to explicitly change your ATM switch router operation from the defaults, which are suitable for most networks. The following sections are included:
Autoconfiguration determines an interface type when the interface initially comes up. To change the configuration of the interface type (such as UNI, NNI, or IISP), side, or version, you must first disable autoconfiguration.
|
Note When you change the interface type, side, or version, ATM signalling and ILMI are restarted on the interface. When ATM signalling is restarted, all switched virtual connections (SVCs) across the interface are cleared; permanent virtual connections are not affected. |
To disable autoconfiguration on an interface, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
| Command | Purpose | |
|---|---|---|
Step 1 | Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port[.vpt#] Switch(config-if)# | Selects the interface to be configured. |
Step 2 | Switch(config-if)# no atm auto-configuration | Disables autoconfiguration on the interface. |
The following example shows how to disable autoconfiguration on interface ATM 1/0/0:
Switch(config)# interface atm 1/0/0 Switch(config-if)# no atm auto-configuration Switch(config-if)# %ATM-6-ILMINOAUTOCFG: ILMI(ATM1/0/0): Auto-configuration is disabled, current interface parameters will be used at next interface restart.
To confirm that autoconfiguration is disabled for the interface, use the following EXEC command:
Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
|
|
The following example shows the autoconfiguration status of ATM interface 1/0/0 as disabled:
Switch# show atm interface atm 1/0/0

The User-Network Interface (UNI) specification defines communications between ATM end stations (such as workstations and routers) and ATM switches in private ATM networks.
To configure a UNI interface, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
| Command | Purpose | |
|---|---|---|
Step 1 | Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port[.vpt#] Switch(config-if)# | Selects the interface to be configured. |
Step 2 | Switch(config-if)# no atm auto-configuration | Disables autoconfiguration on the interface. |
Step 3 | Switch(config-if)# atm uni [side {network | user}] [type {private | public}] | Configures the ATM UNI interface. |
The following example shows how to disable autoconfiguration on ATM interface 0/1/0 and configure the interface as the user side of a private UNI running version 4.0:
Switch(HB-1)(config)# interface atm 0/1/0 Switch(HB-1)(config-if)# no atm auto-configuration Switch(HB-1)(config-if)# %ATM-6-ILMINOAUTOCFG: ILMI(ATM0/1/0): Auto-configuration is disabled, current interface parameters will be used at next interface restart. Switch(HB-1)(config-if)# atm uni side user type private version 4.0 Switch(HB-1)(config-if)# %ATM-5-ATMSOFTSTART: Restarting ATM signalling and ILMI on ATM0/1/0.
To show the UNI configuration for an ATM interface, use the following EXEC command:
Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
|
|
The following example shows the ATM interface 0/1/0 UNI configuration:
Switch(HB-1)# show atm interface atm 0/1/0 Interface: ATM0/1/0 Port-type: oc3suni IF Status: UP Admin Status: up Auto-config: disabled AutoCfgState: not applicable IF-Side: Network IF-type: UNI Uni-type: private Uni-version: V4.0 <information deleted)
The Network-Network Interface (NNI) specification defines communications between two ATM switches in a private ATM network.
You must configure NNI connections to allow for route discovery and topology analysis between the ATM switch routers. To configure the NNI interface, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
| Command | Purpose | |
|---|---|---|
Step 1 | Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port[.vpt#] Switch(config-if)# | Selects the interface to be configured. |
Step 2 | Switch(config-if)# no atm auto-configuration | Disables autoconfiguration on the interface. |
Step 3 | Switch(config-if)# atm nni | Configures the ATM NNI interface. |
The following example shows how to configure ATM interface 3/0/0 as an NNI interface:
Switch(HB-1)(config)# interface atm 3/0/0 Switch(HB-1)(config-if)# no atm auto-configuration Switch(HB-1)(config-if)# %ATM-6-ILMINOAUTOCFG: ILMI(ATM3/0/0): Auto-configuration is disabled, current interface parameters will be used at next interface restart. Switch(HB-1)(config-if)# atm nni Switch(HB-1)(config-if)# %ATM-5-ATMSOFTSTART: Restarting ATM signalling and ILMI on ATM3/0/0.
To show the NNI configuration for an ATM interface, use the following EXEC command:
Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
|
|
The following example shows the configuration of the NNI interface ATM 3/0/0 on the ATM switch router-1 (HB-1) located in the headquarters building:
Switch(HB-1)# show atm interface atm 3/0/0 Interface: ATM3/0/0 Port-type: oc3suni IF Status: UP Admin Status: up Auto-config: disabled AutoCfgState: not applicable IF-Side: Network IF-type: NNI Uni-type: not applicable Uni-version: not applicable <information deleted>
When you need a 12-bit VPI range greater than 255, change the maximum VPI bits configuration. Perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
| Command | Purpose | |
|---|---|---|
Step 1 | Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port Switch(config-if)# | Selects the interface to be configured. |
Step 2 | Switch(config-if)# no atm auto-configuration | Disables autoconfiguration on the interface. |
Step 3 | Switch(config-if)# atm nni | Configures the ATM NNI interface. |
Step 4 | Switch(config-if)# atm maxvpi-bits max-vpi-bits | Modifies the maximum VPI bits configuration. |
|
Note 12-bit VPI support is only available on ATM NNI interfaces. |
The following example shows that if you are unable to configure a port with a maximum 12-bit VPI value greater than 8, you receive a message prompting you to reconfigure the port:
Switch(config)# interface atm 0/0/0 Switch(config-if)# no atm auto-configuration Switch(config-if)# atm nni Switch(config-if)# atm maxvpi-bits 12 This port can not be configured for vpi bits greater than 8, unless one of the following ports is reconfigured for 8 bits vpi interface a11/0/0 interface a11/0/1 interface a11/0/2 interface a11/0/3 interface a12/0/0 interface a12/0/1
To display the 12-bit VPI NNI interface configuration, use the following EXEC commands:
Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
|
|
|
|
The following example shows the maxvpi-bits for interface ATM 0/0/0:
Switch# show switch module interface atm 0/0/0

The Interim Interswitch Signalling Protocol (IISP) defines a static routing protocol for use between ATM switches. IISP provides support for switched virtual connections (SVCs) on switches that do not support the Private Network-Network Interface (PNNI) protocol. For further information, refer to "Configuring ATM Routing and PNNI."
To configure an IISP interface, perform the following tasks, beginning in global configuration mode:
| Command | Purpose | |
|---|---|---|
Step 1 | Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port[.vpt#] Switch(config-if)# | Selects the interface to be configured. |
Step 2 | Switch(config-if)# no atm auto-configuration | Disables autoconfiguration on the interface. |
Step 3 | Switch(config-if)# atm iisp [side {network | user}] [version {3.0 | 3.1 | 4.0}] | Configures the ATM IISP interface. |
Step 4 | Switch(config-if)# exit Switch(config)# | Exits interface configuration mode. |
Step 5 | Switch(config)# atm route addr-prefix | Configures the ATM route address prefix. |
The following example shows how to configure ATM interface 3/0/0 on the ATM switch router (SB-1) as user side IISP and specifies an ATM route address prefix:
Switch(SB-1)(config)# interface atm 3/0/0 Switch(SB-1)(config-if)# no atm auto-configuration Switch(SB-1)(config-if)# %ATM-6-ILMINOAUTOCFG: ILMI(ATM3/0/0): Auto-configuration is disabled, current interface parameters will be used at next interface restart. Switch(SB-1)(config-if)# atm iisp side user Switch(SB-1)(config-if)# %ATM-5-ATMSOFTSTART: Restarting ATM signalling and ILMI on ATM3/0/0. Switch(SB-1)(config-if)# exit Switch(SB-1)(config)# atm route 47.0091.8100.0000.0000.0ca7.ce01 atm 3/0/0
To show the interface IISP configuration, use the following EXEC command:
