Chapter 8 Updates

On page 8-4, in the "Identifying Interface Slots and MC-E3 Interface Port Numbers" section, add the following subsection:

Catalyst 6000 Family FlexWAN Module Ports

This section describes interface processor slot numbers, port adapter slot numbers, and E3 interface port numbers. These numbers are combined to form the port address, which consists of a five-part number in the following format:

module-number/port-adapter-bay/interface-port/e1-line-number:channel-group-number

Following is an explanation of the port address:

• The first number identifies the module number in which the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module is installed.

• The second number identifies the port adapter bay on the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module and is either 0 or 1.

• The third number identifies the interface port on the MC-E3 port adapter and is always 0.

• The fourth number identifies the E1 line number on the MC-E3 port adapter and can be a number from 1 through 16.

• The fifth number identifies the logical channel group on the E1 line and can be a number from 0 through 30.

Interface ports on the Catalyst FlexWAN module maintain the same port address regardless of whether other interface processors are installed or removed; however, when you move a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module to a different slot, the first number in the port address changes to reflect the new module number.

You can also identify interface ports by physically checking the module-number/port-adapter-bay/
interface-port location on the back of the router or by using show commands to display information about a specific interface or all interfaces in the router.

Note The Cisco IOS software recognizes a configured logical channel group as a serial interface; therefore, you can use all configuration commands that are available for serial interfaces with configured logical channel groups. You can configure a logical channel group to carry data traffic using the following encapsulation methods: PPP, HDLC, SMDS, and Frame Relay. Set the encapsulation method you want using the serial interface configuration commands. For configured logical channel groups, you can use all command switches that apply to a serial interface (including Optimum Switching).

Note The FlexWAN module physical port address uses a zero- (0-) based port address, which differs from the conventional Catalyst 6000 family one- (1-) based port address.

On page 8-5, in the Channelized example, add the following:

For a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module:

Router(config)# controller e3 5/0/0
Router(config-controller)# e1 1 channel-group 20 timeslots 1-5, 20-23
Router(config-controller)# e1 1 channel-group 21 timeslots 6-7, 25-26
 

This example creates interface serial 5/0/0/1:20 with timeslots 1-5 and 20-23 assigned to it, and interface serial 5/0/0/1:21 with timeslots 6, 7, and 25-26 assigned to it.

On page 8-6, in the Fractional example, add the following:

For a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module:

Router(config)# controller e3 5/0/0
Router(config-controller)# e1 2 channel-group 0 timeslots 1-31 
 

This example creates interface serial 5/0/0/2:0.

Also, in the Unframed example, add the following:

For a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module:

Router(config)# controller e3 5/0/0
Router(config-controller)# e1 3 unframed
 

This example creates interface serial 5/0/0/3:0. Note that for unframed E1 lines, the channel group number is always 0.

On page 8-7, in the Channelized example, add the following:

port/e1-line-number:channel-group-number. (This step assumes you have already configured the logical channel group.)

The example that follows is for logical channel group 1 on E1 line 1, of the E3 link on the first port adapter on a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module in interface processor slot 5:

Router(config)# interface serial 5/0/0/1:1

On page 8-21, Step 3, add the following:

For a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, specify one of the new interfaces with the show interfaces [type mod_num/bay/port] command, and verify that the first line of the display specifies the interface with the correct slot number. Also verify that the interface and line protocol are in the correct state: up or down.

Also, in Step 4, add the following:
