Configuring Special Features

This chapter describes special features added to the LightStream 1010 switch configuration software. Most LightStream 1010 ATM switch users probably will not need to use these features.


Note For complete descriptions of the commands mentioned in this chapter, refer to the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference publication.

This chapter includes descriptions and examples needed to configure the following special features:

Configure E.164 Address One-to-One Translation Table

The ATM interface to a public network commonly uses an E.164 address for ATM signaling, with NSAP addresses carried in the subaddress fields of the message.


Note The recommended method for E.164 connectivity is in conjunction with the atm route command. See section "Configure a Static Route with an E.164 Address" in the chapter "Configuring ATM Routing and PNNI." The E.164 address translation table should only be used when there is a need for unique one-to-one mapping between the E.164 address and the NSAP address.

Configuring an E.164 one-to-one translation table to an interface is a two step process and is described in this section:

Step 1 Configure an interface as an E.164 interface

Step 2 Configure the E.164 Translation table

The one-to-one translation table allows signaling to look up the E.164 addresses and the NSAP addresses in a database. This allows a one-to-one correspondence between NSAP addresses and E.164 addresses.

Egress Operation--When a signaling message attempts to establish a call out an interface, the called and calling party addresses are in NSAP format.

If the interface has been configured for E.164 translation, signaling will attempt to find a match for the NSAP addresses. If found, the E.164 addresses corresponding to the NSAP addresses will be placed into the called and calling party addresses. The original NSAP addresses will be placed into the called and calling party subaddresses.

Ingress Operation--If the interface is configured for E.164 translation, the called and calling party addresses are in E.164 format.

If the original NSAP-formatted called and calling addresses have been carried in subaddresses, then those addresses will be used to forward the call.

If subaddresses are not present due to the network blocking the subaddresses, or due to the switch at the entry to the E.164 network not using subaddresses, signaling will attempt to find a match for the NSAP address in the ATM E.164 translation table.

E.164 Addresses in the Translation Table--If matches are found, the NSAP addresses corresponding to the E.164 addresses will be placed into the called and calling party addresses. The call will then be forwarded using the NSAP addresses.

Configuring one-to-one E.164 translation tables requires the following steps:

Step 1 Configure specific ATM interface(s) to connect to E.164 public networks to use the translation table.

Step 2 Configure the translation table.

Step 3 Add entries to the translation table for both the called and calling parties.

This section describes configuration of E.164 translation on the interface. Use the no form of the following commands to disable:

Task Command
At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal. configure1
[terminal]
Select interface port. interface atm card/subcard/port
Configure the ATM E.164 interface. atm e164 translation
Return to EXEC configuration mode. ex
Change to E.164 ATM configuration mode. atm e164 translation-table
Configure the E.164 translation table. e164 address address nsap-address nsap_address

1 This command is documented in the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference publication.
Example

The following example configures the ATM interface 0/0/1 to use the one-to-one E.164 translation table:

Switch#config terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Switch(config)#interface atm 0/0/1

Disable Signaling on an Interface

To enable and disable signaling on an interface, use the following EXEC commands. Use the no form of this command to disable signaling.

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 signaling on the interface. no atm signalling-enable
Enable signaling on the interface. atm signalling-enable
Reactivate the interface. no shutdown
Return to EXEC configuration mode. ^Z

1 This command is documented in the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference publication.
Examples

The following example shuts down, then disables and enables signaling on ATM interface 0/0/0:

Step 1 Change to interface configuration mode for ATM interface 0/0/0.

Step 2 Shut down the interface using the shutdown command.

Step 3 Disable signaling in the interface using the no atm signalling-enable command.

Step 4 Enable signaling in the interface using the atm signalling-enable command.

Step 5 Bring the interface back up using the no shutdown command.

Following is an example:

Switch#config term
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#interface atm 0/0/0
Switch(config-if)#shutdown
Switch(config-if)#
%ATMSIG-4-CONFIG_ERROR: Configuration Error: Missing QSAAL VC on ATM0/0/0

Switch(config-if)#no atm signalling-enable
Switch(config-if)#atm signalling-enable
Switch(config-if)#no shutdown

Configure ATM SVC Frame Discard

Use the atm svc-frame-discard-on-aal5ie command to select the criteria used to install frame discard on SVCs. The default is to install packet discard based on the presence of the AAL5 information element in the SETUP message.


Note The term frame discard is referred to as packet discard on LightStream 1010 virtual circuits.

The global configuration function is used to modify the frame discard for all ABR connections.

To configure frame discard, perform the following task in global configuration mode:

Task Command
At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal. configure1
[terminal]
Configure the SVC frame discard. atm svc-frame-discard-on-aal5ie

1 These commands are documented in the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference publication.

This global configuration command changes the information that the switch uses to decide whether or not to install frame discard on SVCs. UNI 4.0 signaling allows for explicit signaling of frame discard. Pre-UNI 4.0 versions use the presence of the AAL5 information elements to determine whether or not to install frame discard (if the AAL5 information element is present, install frame discard, otherwise do not).

For example:

Example

In the following example, the switch behavior is set to not use the AAL5 information element to dictate frame discard.

Switch(config)# no atm svc-frame-discard-on-aal5ie
Switch(config)#

Display the ATM Frame Discard Configuration

Use the show running-config command to display the ATM frame discard configuration.

To display the frame discard configuration, perform the following task in user EXEC mode:

Task Command
Display the frame discard configuration. show running-config
Example

The following example displays the frame discard configuration:

Switch#show running-config
Switch#show running-config
