This chapter describes how to explicitly configure ATM network interface types, rather than depending on ILMI auto-configuration (which senses the peer interface type and configures the LightStream 1010 ATM switch interface appropriately).
The network configuration modifications described in this chapter are used to explicitly specify your ATM network operation. Because the LightStream 1010 offers true plug-and-play operation, most users may not need to perform any of these procedures. In some cases however, the auto-configuration of interfaces may not be desired.
The LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference publication provides the complete syntax for every switch configuration command and describes the no form of each command.
The example network shown in Figure 8-1 is used to describe some standard ATM interface configuration tasks you might want to perform after completing the tasks described in the chapter "Initially Configuring the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch."

The network configuration shown in Figure 8-1 is an example of a corporate campus ATM backbone network connecting three buildings with an ATM connection across the wide area network (WAN) to a remote sales office.
The following examples describe a hypothetical task involved in configuration of the network shown in Figure 8-1:
The configuration examples in this chapter use the following format:
Auto-configuration is the feature that determines the type of interface every time an interface comes up initially.
The auto-configuration feature must be disabled on some interfaces prior to configuring some interface connections, such as user-to-network interface (UNI) connections.
To configure autolink on an interface use the following EXEC commands. Use the no form of the auto-configuration command to disable auto-configuration:
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal. | configure1 [terminal] |
| Select the interface to be configured. | interface atm card/sub_card/port [.vpt #] |
| Shutdown the interface. | shutdown |
| Disable auto-configuration on the interface. | no atm auto-configuration |
| Re-enable the interface. | no shutdown |
The following example shuts down ATM interface 1/0/0, disables auto-configuration, then re-enables the interface:
Switch(config)#interface atm 1/0/0 Switch(config-if)#shutdown Switch(config-if)# %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface ATM0/1/3, changed state to down %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface ATM1/0/0, changed state to down %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface ATM1/0/0, changed state to administratively down %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface ATM0/1/3, changed state to going down %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface ATM0/1/3, changed state to down Switch(config-if)#no atm auto-configuration % Please 'shut/no shut' this interface for this command to take effect. Switch(config-if)#no shutdown Switch(config-if)# %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface ATM1/0/0, changed state to going down %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface ATM0/1/3, changed state to up %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface ATM0/1/3, changed state to up %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface ATM1/0/0, changed state to up %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface ATM1/0/0, changed state to up Switch(config-if)#^Z Switch# %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console Switch#
To show the interface auto-configuration use the following command:
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Show the ATM switch configuration. | show atm interface atm card/sub_card/port |
The following example displays the auto-configuration status of ATM interface 1/0/0 as disabled:

Switch#
The UNI specification defines communications between ATM endstations (such as workstations and routers) and ATM switches in private ATM networks.
To configure a UNI interface connection between the switch LS1010-2 (HB-1) in the headquarters building to one of the end-station servers in the same building use the atm uni command in interface configuration mode. See Figure 8-2 for a detail of this type of network connection.

To configure the UNI interface connection, use the following EXEC commands. Use the no form of these commands to disable the UNI interface:
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal. | configure1 [terminal] |
| Select the interface to be configured. | interface atm card/sub_card/port |
| Shutdown the interface. | shutdown |
| Disable auto-configuration on the interface. | no atm auto-configuration |
| Configure the ATM UNI interface. | atm uni { side [ network | user ] | type [ private | public ] | version [ 3.0 | 3.1 | 4.0 ]} |
| Re-enable the interface. | no shutdown |
The following example shuts down ATM interface 0/1/0, disables auto-configuration, configures the UNI side as user, type private, version as 4.0, and re-enables the interface:
LS1010-2(HB-1)(config)# interface atm 0/1/0 LS1010-2(HB-1)(config-if)#shutdown %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface ATM0/1/0, changed state to administratively down LS1010-2(HB-1)(config-if)#no atm auto-configuration % Please 'shut/no shut' this interface for this command to take effect.

LS1010-2(HB-1)#
This section describes configuring a network-to-network interface (NNI) connection between two switches. See Figure 8-4 for an example of this type of network configuration.
The following section describes configuring the private NNI interface from switch LS1010-1(HB-1) in the headquarters building to the switch LS1010(EB-1) in the engineering building. Figure 8-3 is a detail of the example network segment being configured.

Private NNI connections must be configured between the ATM switches to allow for route discovery and topology analysis between the switches.
Following are the task lists and an example of the commands used to configure the private NNI interface in the example shown in Figure 8-5.
To configure the PNNI interface, use the following EXEC commands. Use the no form of these commands to disable the PNNI interface:
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal. | configure1 [terminal] |
| Select the interface to be configured. | interface atm card/sub_card/port |
| Shutdown the interface. | shutdown |
| Disable auto-configuration on the interface. | no atm auto-configuration |
| Configure the ATM NNI interface. | atm nni |
| Re-enable the interface. | no shutdown |
The following example shuts down ATM interface 3/0/0, disables auto-configuration, configures the interface as an NNI, and re-enables the interface:
LS1010-1(HB-1)#config terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. LS1010-1(HB-1)(config)#interface atm 3/0/0 LS1010-1(HB-1)(config-if)#shutdown LS1010-1(HB-1)(config-if)#no atm auto-configuration % Please 'shut/no shut' this interface for this command to take effect. LS1010-1(HB-1)(config-if)#atm nni LS1010-1(HB-1)(config-if)#no shutdown LS1010-1(HB-1)(config-if)# %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface ATM3/0/0, changed state to going down %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface ATM3/0/0, changed state to down LS1010-1(HB-1)(config-if)#^Z LS1010-1(HB-1)#
To show the ATM interface NNI configuration use the following command:
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Show the ATM switch configuration. | show atm interface atm card/sub_card/port |
The following example displays the configuration of the NNI interface 3/0/0 on the switch LS1010-1(HB-1) located in the Headquarters building:

LS1010-1(HB-1)#
This section describes configuring the Interim Interswitch Signaling Protocol (IISP) interface from switch LS1010 (SB-1), in the remote sales office building to the switch LS1010 (SB-1) in the same building. See Figure 8-4 for an example of this type of network configuration.

The some ATM switch does not support the PNNI protocol and requires that the connection between the switches be manually configured as IISP.
Following are the task lists and an example of the commands used to configure the interfaces in the example:
To configure an IISP interface, use the following EXEC commands. Use the no form of this command to disable the IISP interface:
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal | configure1 [terminal] |
| Select the interface to be configured | interface atm card/sub_card/port[.sub_inter #] |
| Shut down the interface | shutdown |
| Disable autolink determination | no atm auto-configuration |
| Configure IISP on the interface | atm iisp side {user | network} |
| Reenable the interface | no shutdown |
| Exit interface configuration mode. | ex |
| Configure the ATM route address prefix | atm route prefix atm-address-prefix |
| Exit interface configuration mode | exit |
side = specify if this is a user or network side connection.
atm-address-prefix--13 bytes of ATM address prefix.
The following example configures switch LS1010(SB-1) located in the remote sales building at interface 3/0/0 with the following:
LS1010(SB-1)#config terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. LS1010(SB-1)(config)#interface atm 3/0/0 LS1010(SB-1)(config-if)#shutdown LS1010(SB-1)(config-if)#no atm auto-configuration % Please 'shut/no shut' this interface for this command to take effect.

LS1010(SB-1)#
This section describes configuring the DS-3 public User-Network Interface (UNI) ATM connection as a VP tunnel from the headquarters building across the WAN to the remote sales office.
See Figure 8-5 for a detail of the example network being configured.

Public DS-3 carriers can interconnect switches via permanent VPs across their networks. To support signaling across the public network between switch LS1010-1(HB-1) in the headquarters building and the remote sales office switch LS1010(SB-1) a VP tunnel must be configured.
Following is the task list and an example of the commands used to configure the public DS-3 UNI connections in the example:
To configure a VP tunnel connection, use the following EXEC commands. Use the no form of this command to disable the VP tunnel connection:
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal. | configure1 [terminal] |
| Optionally, configure the connection-traffic-table-row index for any non-default index values. | atm connection-traffic-table-row [index row-index] cbr peak-cell-rate rate [tolerance cell-count] |
| Select the physical interface to be configured. | interface atm card/sub_card/port |
| Configure an interface PVP leg. | atm pvp vpi [cast-type type] [rx-cttr index] [tx-cttr index] |
| Change to configuration mode. | exit |
| Create a VP tunnel using a VPT number which matches the PVP leg VPI. | interface atm card/sub_card/port.vpt # |
vpi--The ATM network VPI to use for this VP in the range of 1 through 255
cast-type --p2p | p2mp-root | p2mp-leaf (default = p2p)
rx-cttr (connection-traffic-table-row index)--should be configured before using this command
tx-cttr (connection-traffic-table-row index)--should be configured before using this command
The following examples configure the ATM VP tunnel on the switch LS1010-1 (HB-1) located in the headquarters building at interface 1/0/0, VPI 99 to switch LS1010 (SB-1) located in the remote sales office at interface 4/0/0, VPI 99:
