New VC Configuration

Functional Description

The New VC Configuration subfeature allows you to configure ATM PVCs, SVCs, static maps, and associated virtual circuit (VC) parameters using new ATM commands in new ATM VC command modes. The new configuration approach allows you to configure ATM parameters more easily and with fewer errors.

Backwards Compatibility

This subfeature is not intended to change the underlying functionality of the Cisco IOS ATM software. Only the method of creating ATM PVCs, SVCs, static maps, and associated VC parameters is changed.

The configuration commands used prior to this release are still available. However, you are encouraged to use the new command syntax introduced in this subfeature for easier configuration and access to improved functionality.

Configuration Tasks

This section describes how to configure ATM PVCs and SVCs using the new commands and command modes introduced in this document:

Refer to the "Enhanced ATM VC Configuration and Management Commands" chapter for command reference and debug command documentation.

Configure PVCs

To use a permanent virtual circuit (PVC), you must configure the PVC on both the router and the ATM switch. PVCs remain active until the circuit is removed from either configuration.

All virtual circuit characteristics listed in the sections "AIP Virtual Circuits," "ATM Port Adapter Virtual Circuits," and "NPM Virtual Circuits" in the "Wide-Area Networking Overview" chapter of Cisco IOS Release 11.3 Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide apply to these PVCs. When a PVC is configured, all the configuration options are passed on to the AIP, ATM port adapter, or NPM, respectively. These PVCs are writable into the nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) as part of the Route Processor (RP) configuration and are used when the RP image is reloaded.

Some ATM switches might have point-to-multipoint PVCs that do the equivalent of broadcasting. If a point-to-multipoint PVC exists, then that PVC can be used as the sole broadcast PVC for all multicast requests.

To configure a PVC, perform the tasks in the following sections. The first two tasks are required; the other tasks are optional:

Create a PVC

To create a PVC and enter interface-ATM-VC configuration mode, perform the following task in interface configuration mode:

Task Command
Configure a new ATM PVC by assigning a name (optional) and VPI/VCI numbers. Enter interface-ATM-VC configuration mode. Optionally configure ILMI, QSAAL, or SMDS encapsulation. pvc [name] vpi/vci [ilmi | qsaal | smds]
(Optional) Configure the ATM adaptation layer (AAL) and encapsulation type. encapsulation aal-encap
(Optional) Configure one of the following bit rate options:

  • Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR)

  • UBR and a minimum guaranteed rate

  • Variable Bit Rate-Non Real Time (VBR-NRT) QOS


ubr output-pcr

ubr+ output-pcr output-mcr

vbr-nrt output-pcr output-scr output-mbs


Note After configuring the parameters for an ATM PVC, you must exit the interface-ATM-VC configuration mode in order to create the PVC and enable the settings.

Once you specify a name for a PVC, you can re-enter the interface-ATM-VC configuration mode by simply entering pvc name.

For a list of AAL types and encapsulations supported for the aal-encap argument, refer to the encapsulation command in the "Enhanced ATM VC Configuration and Management Commands" chapter of this feature set. The global default is AAL5 with SNAP encapsulation.

See examples of PVC configurations in the section "PVC Configuration Examples" at the end of this chapter.

Map a Protocol Address to a PVC

The ATM interface supports a static mapping scheme that identifies the network address of remote hosts or routers. This section describes how to map a PVC to an address, which is a required task for configuring a PVC.

To map a protocol address to a PVC, perform the following task in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode:

Task Command
Map a protocol address to a PVC. protocol protocol protocol-address [[no] broadcast]

Note If you enable or disable broadcasting directly on a PVC using the protocol command, this configuration will take precedence over any direct configuration using the broadcast command.

See examples of PVC configurations in the section "PVC Configuration Examples" at the end of this chapter.

Configure Communication with the ILMI

You can configure a PVC for communication with the Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI) so the router can receive SNMP traps and new network prefixes. The recommended vpi and vci values for the ILMI PVC are 0 and 16, respectively. To configure ILMI communication, complete the following task in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode:

Task Command
Create an ILMI PVC on an ATM main interface. pvc [name] vpi/vci ilmi

Note This ILMI PVC can be set up only on an ATM main interface, not on ATM subinterfaces.

Enable Inverse ARP

To enable Inverse ARP on a PVC, perform the following task in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode:

Task Command
Enable Inverse ARP on a PVC. protocol protocol inarp [[no] broadcast]
(Optional) Adjust the Inverse ARP time period. inarp minutes

Note Inverse ARP is only supported for IP and IPX and is enabled by default.

Configure ATM UNI Version Override

Depending on the router platform configuration you are using, refer to the section "Configure ATM UNI Version Override" in one of the following chapters in the Cisco IOS Release 11.3 Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide:

Configure Generation of End-to-End F5 OAM Loopback Cells to Verify Connectivity

You can optionally configure the PVC to generate end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cells to verify connectivity on the virtual circuit. The remote end must respond by echoing back such cells. If OAM response cells are missed (indicating the lack of connectivity), the PVC state goes down. If all the PVCs on a subinterface go down, the subinterface goes down. For more information, refer to the "VC Integrity Management" chapter in the Enhanced ATM VC Configuration and Management feature set in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(2)T.

To configure transmission of end-to-end F5 OAM cells on a PVC, perform the following tasks in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode:

Task Command
Configure transmission of end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cells on a PVC, specify how often loopback cells should be sent, and optionally enable OAM management of the connection. oam-pvc [manage] frequency
(Optional) Specify OAM management parameters for verifying connectivity of a PVC connection. This command is only supported if OAM management is enabled. oam retry up-count down-count retry-frequency

Use the up-count argument to specify the number of consecutive end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell responses that must be received in order to change a PVC connection state to up. Use the down-count argument to specify the number of consecutive end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell responses that are not received in order to tear down a PVC. Use the retry-frequency argument to specify the frequency (in seconds) that end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cells should be transmitted when a change in UP/DOWN state is being verified. For example, if a PVC is up and a loopback cell response is not received after the frequency (in seconds) specified using the oam-pvc command, then loopback cells are sent at the retry-frequency to verify whether or not the PVC is down.

Configure Broadcast on a PVC

To send duplicate broadcast packets for all protocols configured on a PVC, perform the following task in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode:

Task Command
Send duplicate broadcast packets for all protocols configured on a PVC. broadcast

Note If you enable or disable broadcasting directly on a PVC using the protocol command, this configuration will take precedence over any direct configuration using the broadcast command.

Assign a VC Class to a PVC

By creating a VC class, you can preconfigure a set of default parameters that you may apply to a PVC. To create a VC class, refer to the section "Configure VC Classes" later in this document.

Once you have created a VC class, perform the following task in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode to apply the VC class to a PVC:

Task Command
Apply a VC class to a PVC. class vc-class-name

The vc-class-name is the same as the name you specified when you created a VC class using the vc-class atm command. Refer to the section "Configure VC Classes" later in this document for a description of how to create a VC class.

Monitor and Maintain ATM PVCs

After configuring an ATM PVC, you can display its status. To show current PVC settings and statistics, perform the following tasks in privileged EXEC mode:

Task Command
Display entries in the ARP table. show arp
Display PVC parameter configurations and where the parameter values are inherited from. show atm class-links [vpi/vci | name]
Display the list of all configured ATM static maps to remote hosts on an ATM network. show atm map
Display all active ATM PVCs and traffic information. show atm pvc {vpi/vci | name | interface interface_number}
Display all active ATM virtual circuits (PVCs and SVCs) and traffic information. show atm vc [vcd | interface interface_number]

Configure SVCs

ATM switched virtual circuit (SVC) service operates much like X.25 SVC service, although ATM allows much higher throughput. Virtual circuits are created and released dynamically, providing user bandwidth on demand. This service requires a signaling protocol between the router and the switch.

The ATM signaling software provides a method of dynamically establishing, maintaining, and clearing ATM connections at the User-Network Interface (UNI). The ATM signaling software conforms to ATM Forum UNI 3.0 or ATM Forum UNI 3.1 depending on what version is selected by ILMI or configuration.

In UNI mode, the user is the router and the network is an ATM switch. This is an important distinction. The Cisco router does not perform ATM-level call routing. Instead, the ATM switch does the ATM call routing, and the router routes packets through the resulting circuit. The router is viewed as the user and the LAN interconnection device at the end of the circuit, and the ATM switch is viewed as the network.

Figure 1 illustrates the router position in a basic ATM environment. The router is used primarily to interconnect LANs over an ATM network. The workstation connected directly to the destination ATM switch illustrates that you can connect not only routers to ATM switches, but also any computer with an ATM interface that conforms to the ATM Forum UNI specification.


Figure 1: Basic ATM Environment



You must complete the tasks in the following sections to use SVCs:

The tasks in the following sections are optional SVC tasks for customizing your network. These tasks are considered advanced; the default values are almost always adequate. You should not have to perform these tasks unless you need to customize your particular SVC connection.

Configure the PVC that Performs SVC Call Setup

Unlike X.25 service, which uses in-band signaling (connection establishment done on the same circuit as data transfer), ATM uses out-of-band signaling. One dedicated PVC exists between the router and the ATM switch, over which all SVC call establishment and call termination requests flow. After the call is established, data transfer occurs over the SVC, from router to router. The signaling that accomplishes the call setup and teardown is called Layer 3 signaling or the Q.2931 protocol.

For out-of-band signaling, a signaling PVC must be configured before any SVCs can be set up. Figure 2 illustrates that a signaling PVC from the source router to the ATM switch is used to set up two SVCs. This is a fully meshed network; workstations A, B, and C all can communicate with each other.


Figure 2:

One or More SVCs Require a Signaling PVC

To configure the signaling PVC for all SVC connections, perform the following task in interface configuration mode:

Task Command
Configure the signaling PVC for an ATM main interface that uses SVCs. pvc [name] vpi/vci qsaal

Note This signaling PVC can be set up only on an ATM main interface, not on ATM subinterfaces.

The VPI and VCI values must be configured consistently with the local switch. The standard values for VPI and VCI are 0 and 5, respectively.

Configure the NSAP Address

This section describes how to configure the source NSAP address of the SVC connection. Depending on the router platform configuration you are using, refer to "Configure the NSAP Address" in one of the following chapters in the Cisco IOS Release 11.3 Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide:

Create an SVC

To create an SVC, perform the following tasks starting in interface configuration mode:

Task Command
Create an SVC and specify the destination NSAP address. svc [name] nsap address
(Optional) Configure the ATM adaptation layer (AAL) and encapsulation type. encapsulation aal-encap
Map a protocol address to an SVC. protocol protocol protocol-address [[no] broadcast]
(Optional) Configure one of the following bit rate options:

  • Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR)

  • UBR and a minimum guaranteed rate

  • Variable Bit Rate-Non Real Time (VBR-NRT) QOS


ubr output-pcr [input-pcr]

ubr+ output-pcr output-mcr [input-pcr] [input-mcr]

vbr-nrt output-pcr output-scr output-mbs [input-pcr] [input-scr] [input-mbs]

Once you specify a name for an SVC, you can re-enter the interface-ATM-VC configuration mode by simply entering svc name; You can remove an SVC configuration by entering no svc name.

For a list of AAL types and encapsulations supported for the aal-encap argument, refer to the encapsulation command in the command reference section of this document. The default is AAL5 with SNAP encapsulation.

Configure the Idle Timeout Interval

You can specify an interval of inactivity after which any idle SVC on an interface is torn down. This timeout interval might help control costs and free router memory and other resources for other uses.

To change the idle timeout interval, perform the following tasks in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode:

Task Command
Configure the interval of inactivity after which an idle SVC will be torn down. idle-timeout seconds [minimum-rate]

In addition to configuring the interval of inactivity, you can optionally specify the minimum-rate in kilobits per second (Kbps). This is the minimum traffic rate required on an ATM SVC to maintain the connection.

Configure Point-to-Multipoint Signaling

Point-to-multipoint signaling (or multicasting) allows the router to send one packet to the ATM switch and have the switch replicate the packet to the destinations. It replaces pseudobroadcasting on specified virtual circuits for protocols configured for broadcasting.

You configure multipoint signaling on an ATM interface after you have mapped protocol addresses to NSAPs and configured one or more protocols for broadcasting.

After multipoint signaling is set, the router uses existing static map entries that have the broadcast keyword set to establish multipoint calls. The call is established to the first destination with a Setup message. Additional parties are added to the call with AddParty messages each time a multicast packet is sent. One multipoint call will be established for each logical subnet of each protocol that has the broadcast keyword set.

To configure multipoint signaling on an ATM interface, complete the following tasks starting in global configuration mode:

Task Command
Step 1 Specify the ATM main interface or for one of the following:
  • AIP on Cisco 7500 series routers and ATM port adapter on the Cisco 7200 series routers
  • NPM on Cisco 4500 and 4700 routers
  • ATM port adapter on Cisco 7500 series routers


interface
atm slot/0

interface atm number


interface
atm slot/port-adapter/0

Step 2 Configure the signaling PVC for an ATM main interface that uses SVCs. pvc [name] vpi/vci qsaal
Step 3 Re-enter interface configuration mode. exit
Step 4 (Optional) Configure an ILMI PVC on an ATM main interface and re-enter interface configuration mode. This task is required if you configure the ATM NSAP address in Step 5 by configuring the ESI and selector fields. pvc [name] 0/16 ilmi

and

exit

Step 5 Configure an ATM NSAP address for the interface in one of the following ways:
  • Configure the complete NSAP address manually.
  • Configure the ESI and selector fields. To use this method, you must configure Step 4 first.


atm nsap-address
nsap-address


atm esi-address esi.selector

Step 6 Create an SVC and specify the destination NSAP address. Enter interface-ATM-VC mode. svc [name] nsap address
Step 7 Provide a protocol address for the interface and enable broadcasting. protocol protocol protocol-address broadcast
Step 8 Re-enter interface configuration mode. exit
Step 9 Enable multipoint signaling to the ATM switch. atm multipoint-signalling
Step 10 Limit the frequency of sending AddParty messages (optional). atm multipoint-interval interval

If multipoint virtual circuits are closed, they are reopened with the next multicast packet. Once the call is established, additional parties are added to the call when additional multicast packets are sent. If a destination never comes up, the router constantly attempts to add it to the call by means of multipoint signaling.

For an example of configuring multipoint signaling on an interface that is configured for SVCs, see the "SVCs with Multipoint Signaling Example" later in this chapter.

Configure IP Multicast over ATM Point-to-Multipoint Virtual Circuits

This task is documented in the "Configuring IP Multicast Routing" chapter of the Cisco IOS Release 11.3 Network Protocols Configuration Guide, Part 1.

Configure SSCOP

Depending on the router platform configuration you are using, refer to the section "Configure SSCOP" in one of the following chapters in the Cisco IOS Release 11.3 Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide:

Configure Generation of End-to-End F5 OAM Loopback Cells to Verify Connectivity

You can optionally configure the SVC to generate end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cells to verify connectivity on the virtual circuit. The remote end must respond by echoing back such cells. If OAM response cells are missed (indicating the lack of connectivity), the SVC is torn down. For more information, refer to the "VC Integrity Management" chapter in the Enhanced ATM VC Configuration and Management feature set in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(2)T.

To configure transmission of end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cells on an SVC, perform the following tasks in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode:

Task Command
Configure transmission of end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cells on an SVC, specify how often loopback cells should be sent, and optionally enable OAM management of the connection. oam-svc [manage] frequency
(Optional) Specify OAM management parameters for verifying connectivity of an SVC connection. This command is only supported if OAM management is enabled. oam retry up-count down-count retry-frequency

The up-count argument does not apply to SVCs, but it must be specified in order to configure the down-count and retry-frequency. Use the down-count argument to specify the number of consecutive end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cell responses that are not received in order to tear down an SVC. Use the retry-frequency argument to specify the frequency (in seconds) that end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cells should be transmitted when a change in UP/DOWN state is being verified. For example, if an SVC is up and a loopback cell response is not received after the frequency (in seconds) specified using the oam-svc command, then loopback cells are sent at the retry-frequency to verify whether or not the SVC is down.


Note Generally, ATM signaling manages ATM SVCs. Configuring the oam-svc command on an SVC verifies the inband integrity of the SVC.

Configure Broadcast on an SVC

To send duplicate broadcast packets or send a single broadcast packet using multipoint signaling for all protocols configured on an SVC, perform the following task in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode:

Task Command
Send duplicate broadcast packets for all protocols configured on an SVC. broadcast

Note If you enable or disable broadcasting directly on an SVC using the protocol command, this configuration will take precedence over any direct configuration using the broadcast command.

Assign a VC Class to an SVC

By creating a VC class, you can preconfigure a set of default parameters that you may apply to an SVC. To create a VC class, refer to the section "Configure VC Classes" later in this document.

Once you have created a VC class, perform the following task in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode to apply the VC class to an SVC:

Task Command
Apply a VC class to an SVC. class vc-class-name

The vc-class-name is the same as the name you specified when you created a VC class using the vc-class atm command. Refer to the section "Configure VC Classes" later in this document for a description of how to create a VC class.

Monitor and Maintain ATM SVCs

After configuring an ATM SVC, you can display its status. To show current SVC settings and statistics, perform the following tasks in privileged EXEC mode:

Task Command
Display entries in the ARP table. show arp
Display SVC parameter configurations and where the parameter values are inherited from. show atm class-links [vpi/vci | name]
Display the list of all configured ATM static maps to remote hosts on an ATM network. show atm map
Display all active ATM SVCs and traffic information. show atm svc {vpi/vci | name | interface interface_number}
Display all active ATM virtual circuits (PVCs and SVCs) and traffic information. show atm vc [vcd | interface interface_number]

Configure VC Classes

A VC class is a set of preconfigured VC parameters that you configure and apply to a particular VC or ATM interface. You may apply a VC class to an ATM main interface, subinterface, PVC or SVC. For example, you can create a VC class that contains VC parameter configurations that you will apply to a particular PVC or SVC. You might create another VC class that contains VC parameter configurations that you will apply to all VCs configured on a particular ATM main interface or subinterface. Refer to "VC Class Configuration Examples" section later in this document for examples of VC class configurations.

To create and use a VC class, complete the following tasks:

Create a VC Class

To create a VC class, perform the following task in global configuration mode:

Task Command
Create a VC class and enter vc-class configuration mode. vc-class atm name

Configure VC Parameters

After you create a VC class and enter vc-class configuration mode, configure VC parameters using one or more of the following commands:

Refer to the sections "Configure PVCs" and "Configure SVCs" for descriptions on how to configure these commands for PVCs and SVCs.

If an SVC command (for example, idle-timeout or oam-svc) is configured in a VC class, but the VC class is applied on a PVC, the SVC command is ignored. This is also true if a PVC command is applied to an SVC.

Apply a VC Class

Once you have created and configured a VC class, you can apply it directly on an ATM PVC or SVC, or you can apply it on an ATM interface or subinterface.

To apply a VC class directly on an ATM PVC or SVC, perform the following tasks starting in interface configuration mode:

Task Command
Step 1 Specify one of the following VCs:
  • ATM PVC
  • ATM SVC

pvc [name] vpi/vci

svc [name] nsap address

Step 2 Apply a VC class directly on the PVC or SVC. class vc-class-name

To apply a VC class on an ATM main interface or subinterface, perform the following tasks starting in global configuration mode:

Task Command
Step 1 Specify the ATM interface or subinterface for one of the following:
  • AIP on Cisco 7500 series routers and ATM port adapter on the Cisco 7200 series routers
  • NPM on Cisco 4500 and 4700 routers
  • ATM port adapter on Cisco 7500 series routers

PVCs in a Fully Meshed Network Example

Figure 3 illustrates a fully meshed network. The configurations for Routers A, B, and C follow the figure. In this example, the routers are configured to use PVCs. Fully meshed indicates that any workstation can communicate with any other workstation. Note that the two protocol statements configured in Router A identify the ATM addresses of Routers B and C. The two protocol statements in Router B identify the ATM addresses of Routers A and C. The two protocol statements in Router C identify the ATM addresses of Routers A and B. For further information, refer to the related task sections "Create a PVC" and "Map a Protocol Address to a PVC" presented earlier in this chapter.

Dynamic Rate Queue Examples

Both of the following examples assume that no permanent rate queues have been configured. The software dynamically creates rate queues when a pvc command creates a new PVC that does not match any user-configured rate queue. For further information, refer to the related task section "Create a PVC" presented earlier in this chapter.

In the following example, the software sets the peak rate to the maximum that the PLIM will allow and sets the average rate to the peak rate. Then it creates a rate queue for the peak rate of this VC.

interface 2/0
 pvc 1/1
