Configuring Interface Types

Configuring Interface Types

This chapter describes how to explicitly configure ATM network interface types, rather than depending on ILMI autoconfiguration (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 might not need to perform any of these procedures. In some cases however, the autoconfiguration 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.

Description of Example Network

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."


Figure 8-1: Example Network Configuration


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:

Example Format

The configuration examples in this chapter use the following format:

Disable Autoconfiguration

Autoconfiguration is the feature that determines the type of interface every time an interface comes up initially.

Rationale:

The autoconfiguration feature must be disabled on some interfaces prior to configuring some interfaces, such as user-to-network interface (UNI) connections.

To disable autoconfiguration on an interface use the following EXEC commands. Use the no form of the auto-configuration command to disable autoconfiguration:
Task Command

At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal.

configure1
[terminal]

Select the interface to be configured.

interface atm card/subcard/port [.vpt #]

Shut down the interface.

shutdown

Disable autoconfiguration on the interface.

no atm auto-configuration

Re-enable the interface.

no shutdown

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

Example

The following example shuts down ATM interface 1/0/0, disables autoconfiguration, 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

Configure a Public Network Tunnel Interface

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.


Note A VP tunnel is configured as a VP of a particular service category. Only VCs of that service category can transit the tunnel.

See Figure 8-5 for a detail of the example network being configured.


Figure 8-5: Public VP Tunnel Network Example


Rationale

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.

atm pvp and VP Tunnel Command Description

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/subcard/port

Configure an interface PVP leg.

atm pvp vpi [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/subcard/port.vpt #

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

Syntax Descriptions

vpi-The ATM network VPI to use for this VP in the range of 1 through 255

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


Note The row index for no-default rx-cttr and tx-cttr must be configured before using this optional parameter. See the atm connection-traffic-table-row command in the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference publication for a detailed description.

Following is an example of the commands used to configure the DS-3 UNI public PVP and VP tunnel connections in the example shown in Figure 8-5.

Examples

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:

Configure a PVC to a VP Tunnel

To configure an end-point of a PVC to a previously created PVP tunnel, use the following EXEC commands using the no form of this command to disable:
Task Command

At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal

configure1
[terminal]

Select the physical interface to be configured

interface atm card/subcard/port

Configure the PVC with the VPI of the tunnel leg matching the tunnel VPT number.

atm pvc vpi vci [upc upc] [pd pd] [rx-cttr index] [tx-cttr index] interface atm card/subcard/port[.vpt #] vpi vci [upc  upc]

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

The following restrictions must be apply to an end-point of a PVC to a PVP tunnel subinterface:

Example

The following example configures the example tunnel ATM1/0/0.99 with a UBR PVC from interface ATM 0/0/1 to the tunnel at ATM interface 1/0/0.99:

LS1010-1(HB-1)#configure t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
LS1010-1(HB-1)(config)#interface atm 0/0/1
LS1010-1(HB-1)(config-if)#atm pvc 0 50 interface atm 1/0/0.99 99 40
LS1010-1(HB-1)(config-if)#end
LS1010-1(HB-1)#

Use show atm vc interface to Display Permanent Virtual Circuit

To confirm the ATM virtual circuit interface configuration use the following command:
Task Command

Show the ATM VC interface configuration.
