About This Guide

This preface tells you who should read the Configuration Guide for Cisco DSLAMs with NI-2, how the document is organized, and the document conventions it follows.

Audience

This guide is written for anyone who installs or operates Cisco DSLAMs with NI-2. This includes the:

How This Guide Is Organized

This guide includes 17 chapters and an index. They are:

Chapter Title Content

Chapter 1

Cisco DSLAM User Interface

Describes the DSLAM user interface and provides instructions for using the command-line interface. Describes how to access and list the commands available in each command mode, and explains the primary uses for each command mode.

Chapter 2

Configuring Terminal Lines and Modem Support

Explains how to configure lines, modems, and terminal settings to access the ATM switch for management purposes.

Chapter 3

Initially Configuring the Cisco DSLAM

Describes the initial configuration of the LightStream 1010 ATM switch.

Chapter 4

Configuring System Management Functions

Describes the basic tasks for configuring general DSLAM system features, such as access control and basic switch management.

Chapter 5

Configuring Virtual Connections

Describes how to configure virtual connections (VCs) in a typical ATM network after autoconfiguration has established the default network connections. The network configuration modifications described in this chapter are used to optimize your ATM network operation.

Chapter 6

Configuring Operation, Administration, and Maintenance

Describes OAM fault management and performance management functions at the ATM management (M)-plane layer of the Cisco DSLAMs with NI-2.

Chapter 7

Configuring Digital Subscriber Lines

Describes how to configure the DSLAM for Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service.

Chapter 8

Configuring ATM Interfaces

Describes how to explicitly configure ATM network interface types. Explicitly configuring interfaces is the alternative to Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI) autoconfiguration, which senses the peer interface type and appropriately configures the DSLAM interface.

Chapter 9

Configuring Resource Management

Describes resource management, which involves modeling and managing switch, interface, and connection resources.

Chapter 10

Configuring ILMI

Describes the Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI) protocol implementation within the DSLAM.

Chapter 11

Configuring ATM Routing and PNNI

Describes the Interim Interswitch Signaling Protocol (IISP) and Private Network-Network Interface (PNNI) ATM routing protocol implementations on the DSLAM.

Chapter 12

Using Access Control

Describes how to configure and maintain access control lists, which are used to permit or deny incoming calls or outgoing calls on an interface of the DSLAM.

Chapter 13

Configuring In-Band Management

Describes how to configure in-band management for the DSLAM.

Chapter 14

Configuring ATM Accounting and ATM RMON

Describes the ATM accounting and remote monitoring (RMON) features used with the DSLAM.

Chapter 15

Configuring Signaling Features

Describes how to configure DSLAM signaling features.

Chapter 16

Configuring the Trunk and Subtended Interfaces

Describes the steps required to configure the trunk and subtended interfaces on the DSLAM NI-2 card.

Chapter 17

Loading System Software Images and Configuration Files

Describes how to load and maintain system software images and configuration files.
