This chapter 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.
The characteristics of the VC, established when the VC is created, include:
These switching features can be turned off with interface configuration commands; autonomous switching must be explicitly enabled per interface. SVC connection setup is possible both on trunk/subtended interfaces as well as all subscriber ports.
The total number of SVCs supported is approximately 24k. The total number of PVCs supported is approximately 5k (constrained by Flash size). The call rate is two hundred calls per second.
Table 5-1 lists the types of supported virtual connections.

This section describes how to configure DSLAM VCCs. A VCC is established as a bidirectional facility to transfer ATM traffic between two ATM layer users. Figure 5-1 shows an example VCC between ATM user A and user D.

Note The value of the VPIs and VCIs can change as the traffic is relayed through the ATM network. |
To configure a point-to-point VCC, perform these steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
Step | Command | Task |
|---|---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 1The any-vci parameter is only available for ATM interface0/0. 2The parameter pd is not applicable to a virtual path. |
![]() |
Note You must configure the row index for rx-cttr and tx-cttr before you use this optional parameter. See "Configuring Resource Management." |

Note When you configure PVC connections, configure the lowest VPI and VCI numbers first. |
This example shows how to configure the internal cross-connect PVC on DSLAM B between interface 0/1, VPI = 0, VCI = 50 and interface 0/2, VPI = 2, VCI = 100 (see Figure 5-1):
DSLAM-B(config)# interface atm 0/1 DSLAM-B(config-if)# atm pvc 0 50 interface atm 0/2 2 100
This example shows how to configure the internal cross-connect PVC on DSLAM C between interface 1/0, VPI = 2, VCI = 100 and interface0/1, VPI 50, VCI = 255:
DSLAM-C(config)# interface atm 1/0 DSLAM-C(config-if)# atm pvc 2 100 interface atm 0/1 50 255
Each subsequent VC cross-connection and link must be configured until the VC is terminated to create the entire VCC.
This example shows how to configure the CPU leg of any terminating PVC:
DSLAM(config)# interface atm0/0 DSLAM(config-if)# atm pvc 0 ? <32-16383> vci any-vci Choose any available vci DSLAM(config-if)# atm pvc 0 any-vci DSLAM(config-if)#
When configuring the CPU leg of a PVC that is not a tunnel, the VPI should be configured as 0. The preferred method of VCI configuration is to select the any-vci parameter, unless a specific VCI is needed as a parameter in another command, such as map-list.
![]() |
Note If configuring a specific VCI value for the CPU leg, select a VCI value higher than 300. This step prevents a conflict with an automatically assigned VCI for well-known channels if the DSLAM reboots. |
To show the VC configuration, use these EXEC commands:

This section describes how to configure point-to-point terminating PVC connections. Terminating connections provide the connection to the DSLAM CPU for control channels for Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI), signaling, and Private Network-to-Network Interface (PNNI) plus network management.
Figure 5-2 shows an example of transit and terminating connections.

Point-to-point is a type of terminating connection. Terminating connections are configured using the same commands as transit connections (discussed in the previous sections). However, all switch terminating connections use interface 0/0 to connect to the switch CPU.
To configure point-to-point terminating PVC connections, perform these steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
Step | Command | Task |

DSLAM(config)# interface atm0/0 DSLAM(config-if)# atm pvc 0 ? <32-16383> vci any-vci Choose any available vci DSLAM(config-if)# atm pvc 0 any-vci
When configuring the CPU leg of a PVC that is not a tunnel, the VPI should be configured as 0. The preferred method of VCI configuration is to select the any-vci parameter, unless a specific VCI is needed as a parameter in another command, such as map-list.

Note If you configure a specific VCI value for the CPU leg, select a VCI value greater than 300 to prevent a conflict with an automatically assigned VCI for well-known channels if the DSLAM reboots. |
This example shows how to configure the internal cross-connect PVC between interface 0/2, VPI = 1, VCI = 50 and the terminating connection at the CPU interface 0/0, VPI = 0, and VCI unspecified:
DSLAM-B(config)# interface atm 0/2 DSLAM-B(config-if)# atm pvc 1 50 interface atm0/0 0 any-vci encap aal5snap
To show the terminating PVC configuration, use the EXEC commands:

This section describes how to configure a PVP connection. Figure 5-3 shows an example of a DSLAM with PVPs configured through the switch. Switch B and Switch C can be either ATM switches or DSLAMs.

To configure a PVP connection, perform these steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
Step | Command | Task |

Note When you configure PVC connections, configure the lowest VPI and VCI numbers first. |
This example shows how to configure the internal cross-connect PVP within DSLAM B between interfaces 0/2, VPI = 1 and interface 0/1, VPI = 2:
DSLAM-B# config term Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. DSLAM-B(config)# interface atm 0/2 DSLAM-B(config-if)# atm pvp 1 interface atm 0/1 2
This example shows how to configure the internal cross-connect PVP within DSLAM C between interfaces 0/1, VPI = 2 and interface 0/2, VPI = 50:
DSLAM-C(config)# interface atm 0/1 DSLAM-C(config-if)# atm pvp 2 interface atm 0/2 50
Each subsequent PVP cross connection and link must be configured until the VP is terminated to create the entire PVP.
To show the ATM interface configuration, use this EXEC command:

This section describes how to configure soft PVC connections, which provide these features:
Figure 5-4 illustrates the soft PVC connections used in these examples. Switch B and Switch C can be ATM switches or DSLAMs.

Perform these steps when you configure soft PVCs:
Step 2 Decide which of these two ports you want to designate as the destination (or passive) side of the soft PVC.
This decision is arbitraryit makes no difference which port you define as the destination end of the circuit.
Step 3 Configure the destination (passive) side of the soft PVC.
You must configure the destination end of the soft PVC first, to define an ATM address for that port.
You must retrieve this address (see Step 4), and the VPI/VCI values for the circuit (see Step 5), and use these elements as part of the command string when you configure the source (active) end of the soft PVC (see Step 6).
Step 4 Retrieve the ATM address of the destination end of the soft PVC using the show atm address command. This command typically produces output in the form:
DSLAM# show atm address Switch Address(es): 47.00918100000000400B0A2A81.00400B0A2A81.00 active Soft VC Address(es): 47.0091.8100.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.00 ATM4/0 ILMI Switch Prefix(es): 47.0091.8100.0000.0040.0b0a.2a81 ILMI Configured Interface Prefix(es): LECS Address(es):
Step 5 Retrieve the VPI/VCI values for the circuit using the show atm vc command. This command typically produces output in the form:
DSLAM# show atm vc interface atm 0/0 Interface VPI VCI Type X-Interface X-VPI X-VCI Encap Status ATM0/0 0 5 PVC ATM0/0 0 52 QSAAL DOWN ATM0/0 0 16 PVC ATM0/0 0 32 ILMI DOWN ATM0/0 0 200 SoftVC ATM0/0 0 100 UP DSLAM#
Step 6 Configure the source (active) end of the soft PVC. At the same time, complete the soft PVC setup using the information derived from Step 4 and Step 5.
You must configure the source end of the soft PVC last because this not only defines the configuration information for the source port, but also requires you to enter the ATM address and VPI/VCI values for the destination port.
If you have not already defined the destination port for the soft PVC (as required in Step 3), this ATM address is not defined for the destination port, and the VPI/VCI values are not available, as required in Step 6 for use in completing the soft PVC.
To configure a soft PVC connection, perform these steps, beginning in privileged EXEC mode:

This example shows how to allow User A to determine the destination ATM address of the interface connected to User D:
Switch-C# show atm addresses
Switch Address(es): 47.00918100000000603E5ADB01.00603E5ADB01.00 active Soft VC Address(es): 47.0091.8100.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.00 ATM0/0 ILMI Switch Prefix(es): 47.0091.8100.0000.0060.3e5a.db01 ILMI Configured Interface Prefix(es): LECS Address(es):
This example shows how to configure a soft PVC on Switch B between interface 0/0, source VPI = 0, source VCI = 200; and switch C, destination ATM address = 47.0091.8100.00.0000.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.00, VPI = 0, VCI = 100 (see Figure 5-4):

Caution Do not change the well-known channels to use a VC where the remote end is sending AAL5 messages not intended for the well-known VC. For example, do not swap VC values between two types of well-known VCs. |
This section provides an overview of the steps you need to perform to configure non-default well-known VCs:
Step 2 Delete any existing automatically created well-known VCs.
Step 3 Configure the individual encapsulation type as:
Step 4 Copy running-configuration file to startup-configuration file.
To configure the non-default VCs for signaling, ILMI, and PNNI, perform these steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

Note An error condition occurs if either the signaling or ILMI well-known VCs remain unconfigured when an interface is enabled. |
This example shows the non-default VC configuration steps:
Step 2 Change to interface configuration mode for ATM interface 0/0.
Step 3 Enter manual well-known-vc mode and delete the existing default well-known VCs using the atm manual-well-known-vc delete command.
Step 4 Confirm deletion by entering y.
Step 5 Configure the non-default VC for signaling from 5 (the default) to 35 using the atm pvc 1 35 interface atm0/0 0 any-vci encap qsaal command.
Step 6 Configure the ILMI VC, then configure the PNNI VC if needed using the same procedure.
Step 7 Save the new running configuration to the startup configuration using the copy running-config startup-config command.
An example of this procedure is:
DSLAM# show atm vc interface atm 0/0 Interface VPI VCI Type X-Interface X-VPI X-VCI Encap Status ATM0/0 0 5 PVC ATM0/0 0 49 QSAAL UP ATM0/0 0 16 PVC ATM0/0 0 33 ILMI UP ATM0/0 0 18 PVC ATM0/0 0 65 PNNI UP DSLAM# DSLAM# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. DSLAM(config)# interface atm 0/0 DSLAM(config-if)# atm manual-well-known-vc delete Okay to delete well-known VCs for this interface?
