C Commands for Cisco DSLAMs with NI-2

C Commands for Cisco DSLAMs with NI-2

cap baud

To enable upstream or downstream baud (symbol) rates, use the cap baud command in profile configuration mode. Use the no form of the command to disable a previously set baud rate.

cap baud {downstream cap-baudrate | upstream cap-baudrate}

no cap baud {downstream cap-baudrate | upstream cap-baudrate}

Syntax Description

downstream cap-baudrate

Enable a downstream baud rate. The valid value is 136K.

upstream cap-baudrate

Enable an upstream baud rate. The valid values are 17K and 68K.

Defaults

Downstream: 136 kbaud is enabled

Upstream: 68 kbaud and 17 kbaud are disabled

The following baud rates are always enabled and cannot be disabled:

Downstream: 340 kbaud, 680 kbaud, 952 kbaud

Upstream: 136 kbaud

Command Mode

Profile configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.0(8)DA

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Baud rates affect bit rates. Enabling more baud rates causes more bit rates to become available on the affected lines (see cap bitrate). However, the baud rates legally available to you may be determined by tariffs. Consult your organization's legal department before setting the baud rate.

The baud rate settings are mutually independent; you can enable or disable any baud rate without affecting the others. If you disable all configurable baud rates, the affected interfaces will still be able to pass data because there are unconfigurable baud rates that you cannot disable (see the "Defaults" section).


Note   The 17k and 68k upstream baud rates are not available on the dual-port CAP line card. Use the upstream keyword with the Flexi card only.

Example

The commands in this example disable the 136 kbaud rate downstream and enable the 68 kbaud rate upstream for the profile named issis:

DSLAM# configure terminal
DSLAM(config)# dsl-profile issis
DSLAM(config-dsl-prof)# no cap baud downstream 136k
DSLAM(config-dsl-prof)# cap baud upstream 68k
DSLAM(config-dsl-prof)# end

cap bitrate

To set the downstream and upstream minimum or maximum bit rates, use the profile configuration command cap bitrate. Use the no form of the command to set bit rates to default values.

cap bitrate minimum downstream min-cap-bitrate upstream min-cap-bitrate

cap bitrate maximum downstream max-cap-bitrate upstream max-cap-bitrate

no cap bitrate {minimum | maximum}

Syntax Description

min-cap-bitrate

If the line trains below this rate, the system generates an alarm. See the "Usage Guidelines" below for available values and for more information on alarms.

max-cap-bitrate

The rate at which the line attempts to train. If the line cannot train at the configured maximum rate, the modems attempt to train at the closest rate possible without exceeding the configured maximum. See the "Usage Guidelines" below for available values.

Modification

12.0(8)DA

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Only the alarm subsystem uses the minimum bitrate settings. Cisco IOS asserts an alarm if the line card trains at a rate below the configured minimum bitrate. However, no alarm is generated when alarms are disabled for the profile. See alarms, for more information on enabling and disabling alarms.

Before you use the cap bitrate command, use the cap baud command to enable and disable baud rates. When you use the cap bitrate command, set the maximum bitrates, both downstream and upstream, before you set the minimum bitrates.

It is important to set baud and bit rate parameters in the order specified above because the baud rates that you enable or disable affect the bit rates that are available to you. Also, the maximum bit rates you select affect the minimum bit rates that are available.

Table 2-1 shows bit rate values. In the Valid Values column, values that are always available are shown in bold. Values not shown in bold are not available under certain circumstances:

cap cpe-signature

The CPE signature indicates the CPE equipment's supported feature set. To set the CPE signature value for each configuration profile, use the cap cpe-signature command in profile configuration mode. Use the no form of the command to set the CPE signature to the default value.

cap cpe-signature cpe-signature

no cap cpe-signature

Syntax Description

cpe-signature

The range of CPE signature values is 0 to 127.

Default

The default value is 0 (zero).

Command Mode

Profile configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.0(8)DA

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

If the CPE signature value returned by the CPE is less than the value configured on the DSLAM, the two devices do not train. When the CPE signature is set to its default value of 0 on the DSLAM, the feature is disabled; the DSLAM attempts to train with the CPE regardless of the signature value returned by the CPE.

Example

In this example, the command sets the CPE signature to 103 for the DSL profile named issis:

DSLAM# configure terminal
DSLAM(config)# dsl-profile issis
DSLAM(config-dsl-prof)# cap cpe-signature 103
DSLAM(config-dsl-prof)# end
Related Commands

show dsl interface atm slot#/port#

cap interleaving-delay

To set the interleaving delay for a profile, use the cap interleaving-delay command in profile configuration mode. Use the no form of the command to set interleaving delay to the default value.

cap interleaving-delay {short | long | none}

no cap interleaving-delay {short | long | none}

Syntax Description

short

Configures a small amount of delay and turns on Reed-Solomon error correction. See the "Usage Guidelines" below for details.

long

Configures a larger amount of delay and turns on Reed-Solomon error correction. See the "Usage Guidelines" below for details.

none

Configures no delay and turns off Reed-Solomon error correction. This value is valid only when the downstream baud 136k is enabled, and for bit-rate settings that uses 136K. See the "Usage Guidelines" below for details.

Note: If you set interleaving delay to none, the subscriber's line may provide service at a higher bit rate than the one configured. This can happen because setting interleaving delay to none turns off Reed-Solomon error correction, and turning off error correction reduces the overhead on the line, leaving more bandwidth available to the subscriber.

Default

long

12.0(8)DA

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command changes the amount of delay by setting interleaving depth. It affects downstream traffic only.

Table 2-2 shows the amount of delay (in milliseconds) that results from various combinations of baud rate, constellation, and interleaving delay settings (short or long), in the downstream direction. Interleaving is not used on upstream traffic.

You can choose the interleaving-delay option none only when 136k downstream baud rate is enabled.

If you configure the interleaving-delay to none but the line card trains at a downstream bit rate that uses a baud rate that is other than 136k, the actual interleaving-delay value the system uses is short.

Table 2-3 lists, in the left column, the downstream maximum bit rates for which the interleaving delay setting none is valid. Because the none setting turns off Reed-Solomon error correction, the actual bit rate on the line will be higher than the configured bit rate, as shown in the right column. The actual bit rate exceeds the configured bit rate because turning off Reed-Solomon error correction reduces the overhead on the line, leaving more bandwidth available to the subscriber.
