Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
Normally, when the ILMI link autodetermination is enabled on the interface and is successful, the router accepts the UNI version returned by ILMI. If the ILMI link autodetermination is unsuccessful or ILMI is disabled, the UNI version defaults to 3.0. You can override the default UNI version by using this command to enable UNI 3.1 signalling support. The no form of the command sets the UNI version to one returned by ILMI if ILMI is enabled and the link autodetermination process is successful. Otherwise, the UNI version reverts to 3.0.
The following example specifies UNI version 3.1 signalling port on the ATM interface 2/0:
interface atm 2/0 atm uni-version 3.1
To set the maximum number of virtual channel identifier (VCIs) to support per virtual path identifier (VPI), use the atm vc-per-vp interface configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.

Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command is supported on Cisco 7500 series routers, but not on Cisco 4500 and Cisco 4700 routers. This command is not supported on ATM port adapters.
This command allows you to specify a virtual path identifier (VPI) or range of VPIs to be used for ATM adaptation layer 3/4 (AAL3/4) processing. All other VPIs map to AAL5 processing. If only AAL5 processing is required, you can either let the virtual path filter default or set it to an arbitrary VPI so that AAL5 processing is performed on all VPIs.
This command configures the hexadecimal value used in the virtual path filter register in the reassembly operation. The virtual path filter comprises 16 bits. The virtual path filter register uses the most significant bits (bits 15 through 8, the left half of the filter) as mask bits, and uses bits 7 through 0 (the right half of the filter) as compare bits.
When a cell is received, the right half of the filter is exclusively NORed with the binary value of the incoming VPI. The result is then ORed with the left half of the filter (the mask). If the result is all 1s, then reassembly is done using the VCI/message identifier (MID) table (AAL3/4 processing). Otherwise, reassembly is done using the VPI-VCI pair table (AAL5 processing).
In the following example, all incoming cells are reassembled using AAL3/4 processing:
atm vp-filter ff00
In the following example, all incoming cells with the virtual path equal to 0 are reassembled using AAL3/4 processing; all other cells are reassembled using AAL5 processing:
atm vp-filter 0
In the following example, all incoming cells with the most significant bit of the virtual path set are reassembled using AAL3/4 processing; all other cells are reassembled using AAL5 processing:
atm vp-filter 7f80

Modification
Usage Guidelines
Use the srts keyword when a network-derived clock is available but devices attached to the CES port use a different clock reference. The srts keyword samples the incoming clock, subtracts from the network clock, and sends the remainder in an AAL1 header. The clock is reconstructed during output by adding the residual to the network reference.
Use the synchronous keyword for all other modes.
Examples
The following command sets the AAL1 timing recovery clock to adaptive mode:
interface cbr 4/0 ces aal1 clock adaptive

For unstructured service, the circuit number is 0. For T1 structured service, the circuit number is 1 through 24. For E1 structured service, the time slots are 1 through 31.
With both the CAS and on-hook detection features enabled, these features work together to enable an ingress node in an ATM network to monitor on-hook and off-hook conditions for a specified 1 x 64 structured CES circuit. As implied by the notation "1 x 64," the on-hook detection (or bandwidth-release) feature is supported only in a structured CES circuit that involves a single time slot at each end of the connection.
The time slot configured for the structured CES circuit at the ingress node (time slot 2) can be different from the DS0 time slot configured at the egress node (time slot 4). Only one such time slot can be configured at each end of the circuit when the on-hook detection feature is used.
When you invoke the on-hook feature, the ingress ATM-CES port adapter monitors the ABCD bits in the incoming CBR bit stream to detect on-hook and off-hook conditions in the circuit. In an "off-hook" condition, all the bandwidth provisioned for the specified CES circuit is used for transporting ATM AAL1 cells across the network from the ingress node to the egress node.
In an on-hook condition, the network periodically sends dummy ATM cells from the ingress node to the egress node to maintain the connection. However, these dummy cells consume only a fraction of the circuit's reserved bandwidth, leaving the rest of the bandwidth available for use by other network traffic. This bandwidth-release feature enables the network to make more efficient use of its resources.
When the CAS feature is enabled for a CES circuit, the bandwidth of the DS0 channel is limited to 56 kbps for user data, because CAS functions consume 8 kbps of channel bandwidth for transporting the ABCD signalling bits. These signalling bits are passed transparently from the ingress node to the egress node as part of the ATM AAL1 cell stream.
In summary, when the optional CAS and on-hook detection features are enabled, the following conditions apply:

The following example sets the structured service CDV range to 5000 milliseconds and enables the interface:

Parameters applied to an individual VC supersede bundle-level parameters. Parameters that are directly configured for a VC through discrete commands entered in bundle-vc configuration mode supersede VC class parameters assigned to a VC bundle member by the class-vc command.
Examples
The following sections show examples for applying the class-vc command to ATM PVC, SVC, and VC bundle members.
In the following example, a class called classA is first created and then applied to an ATM PVC:
! The following commands create the class classA: vc-class atm classA ubr 10000 encapsulation aal5mux ip ! The following commands apply classA to an ATM PVC: interface atm 2/0 pvc router5 1/32 class-vc classA
In the following example, a class called classA is first created and then applied to the bundle member called vcmember, a member of bundle1:
! The following commands create the class classA: vc-class atm classA precedence 6-5 no bump traffic protect group bump explicitly 7 vbr-nrt 20000 10000 32 ! The following commands create bundle1, add vcmember to bundle1, and then applies classA ! to vcmember: bundle bundle1 pvc-bundle vcmember class-vc classA
Taking into account hierarchy precedence rules, the VC bundle member vcmember will be characterized by these parameters:

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command is used in configurations where the router is intended to communicate with an ATM network through an ATM data service unit (ADSU). Given the circuit identifier parameters (VPI and VCI) for the ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC), the router computes and uses the DXI frame address (DFA) that is used for communication between the router and the ADSU.
The dxi map command can be used only on a serial interface or HSSI configured for ATM-DXI encapsulation.
The following example converts all IP packets intended for the host with IP address 172.21.170.49 into ATM cells identified with a VPI of 2 (binary 0000 0010) and a VCI of 46 (binary 0000 0000 0010 1110) by the ADSU:
interface serial 0 dxi map ip 172.21.170.49 2 46 broadcast
Using the mapping defined in Annex A of the ATM DXI Specification, the router uses the VPI and VCI information in this example to compute a DFA of 558 (binary 1000101110). The ADSU will use the DFA of the incoming frame to extract the VPI and VCI information when formulating ATM cells.

Syntax Description
vpi ATM network virtual path identifier (VPI) of this PVC, in the range from 0 through 255. The VPI is an 8-bit field in the header of the ATM cell. The VPI value is unique only on a single interface, not throughout the ATM network, because it has local significance only. Both vpi and vci cannot be specified as 0; if one is 0, the other cannot be 0. vci ATM network virtual channel identifier (VCI) of this PVC, in the range of 0 through 65535. The VCI is a 16-bit field in the header of the ATM cell. The VCI value is unique only on a single interface, not throughout the ATM network, because it has local significance only. Both vpi and vci cannot be specified as 0; if one is 0, the other cannot be 0. snap (Optional) LLC/SNAP encapsulation based on the protocol used in the packet. This keyword defines a PVC that can carry multiple network protocols. This is the default. nlpid (Optional) RFC 1294/1490 encapsulation. This option is provided for backward compatibility with the default encapsulation in earlier versions of the Cisco IOS software. mux (Optional) MUX encapsulation; the carried protocol is defined by the dxi map command when the PVC is set up. This keyword defines a PVC that carries only one network protocol.

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
A VC bundle can have only one encapsulation configured for it: either snap or mux.
Use one of the mux encapsulation options to dedicate the specified PVC to a single protocol; use the snap encapsulation option to multiplex two or more protocols over the same PVC. Whether you select mux or snap encapsulation might depend on practical considerations, such as the type of network and the pricing offered by the network. If the network's pricing depends on the number of PVCs set up, snap might be the appropriate choice. If pricing depends on the number of bytes transmitted, mux might be the appropriate choice because it has slightly less overhead.
To use this command to configure a VC bundle, first enter the bundle subinterface configuration command to create a new bundle or modify an existing one and to enter bundle configuration mode.
![]() |
Note When a VC is a member of a VC bundle, configuration using the encapsulation aal5 command in VC class mode no longer applies to the VC. Bundle configuration takes precedence. |
When configuring Cisco PPP over ATM, specify the ciscoppp encapsulation for the aal-encap argument and specify the virtual template number.
It is possible to implicitly create a virtual template when configuring Cisco PPP over ATM. In other words, if the parameters of the virtual template are not explicitly defined before you configure the ATM PVC, the PPP interface will be brought up using default values from the virtual template identified. However, some parameters (such as an IP address) take effect only if they are specified before the PPP interface comes up. Therefore, we recommend that you explicitly create and configure the virtual template before configuring the ATM PVC to ensure such parameters take effect.
If you specify virtual template parameters after the ATM PVC is configured, you should enter a shutdown command followed by a no shutdown command on the ATM subinterface to restart the interface, causing the newly configured parameters (such as an IP address) to take effect.
If the encapsulation aal5 command is not explicitly configured on an ATM PVC, SVC, or VC bundle, the VC inherits the following default configuration (listed in order of next highest precedence):
Examples
The following example configures an ATM PVC with VPI 0 and VCI 33 for a MUX-type encapsulation using IP:

Usage Guidelines
The minimum number of links that should be active for continued group operation depends upon the applications you are using and the speeds they require. ATM frame size and the number of links in a group affect the overhead required by ATM.
When planning, you should assume that only the bandwidth supplied by the minimal number of links will be available. If you decrease the value set in this command, make sure that virtual circuits of a higher bandwidth than the minimum supported by the command are torn down as necessary.
Examples

Syntax Description
common The transmit clocks for all the links in the group are derived from the same source. port When you choose a common clock source, also specify the link that will provide clocking for the IMA group, which is called the common link. If the common link fails, the system automatically chooses one of the remaining active links to provide clocking. independent The transmit clock source for at least one link in the IMA group is different from the clock source used by the other links.
Defaults
The default value is common. If no port is specified, the system automatically chooses an active link to provide clocking.

12.0(5)T and 12.0(5)XK This command was introduced.

Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command controls the clock for the IMA group as a whole. If all the links in the group share a clock source, use the common keyword. If all the links use different clock sources, use the independent clock source keyword.
When the common keyword is set, the clock source ATM interface configuration command for the common link determines clocking for all the links in the group.When the independent keyword is set, the clock source ATM interface configuration command is used under each interface to determine clocking individually.
Because the system automatically chooses a replacement for the common link when it fails, any link in an IMA group potentially can provide the recovered transmit clock. For this reason, even when the common keyword is set with a specific link stipulated by the port value, you should use the ATM interface configuration clock source command to make sure that the clock source is configured correctly on each interface in the IMA group.
Examples
On a Cisco 2600 or 3600 series router, the following example specifies that the links in IMA group 2 use a common clock source on link 0:
interface atm0/ima2 ima clock-mode common 0

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command helps control latency in ATM-layer traffic by setting a limit on how much latency the slowest link in the group is allowed to introduce (a slower link has a longer propagation delay---for example, due to a longer path through the network or less accurate physical layer clocking---than other links). Setting a high value allows a slow link to continue operating as part of the group, although such a setting means there is added delay to links across the group. A low setting may result in less latency for traffic across the group than a high setting, but it can mean that the system takes a slow link out of operation, reducing total bandwidth.
When a link has been removed from service, it is automatically placed back in service when it meets the delay differential standard. If a link delay exceeds the specified maximum, the link is dropped; otherwise, the IMA feature adjusts for differences in delays so that all links in a group are aligned and carry ATM-layer traffic.
Examples
On a Cisco 2600 or 3600 series router, the following example specifies that the links in IMA group 2 have a maximum differential delay of 50 ms:
interface atm0/ima2 ima differential-delay-maximum 50

Usage Guidelines
To verify link and group connectivity, the pattern is sent from the specified link and looped back from the receiving end across all links belonging to the group as defined at the remote end. Verifying link and group connectivity can help troubleshoot physical link connectivity or configuration problems at the remote end. The local end verifies that the pattern is returned on all links belonging to the group at the local end, and testing is continuous. An IMA control protocol (ICP) cell in each frame identifies the pattern.
When a link is not transmitting or receiving a pattern correctly, the command reports the link number where the problem exists.

interface cbr 1/0
Related Commands
show ces interface cbr Displays detailed CBR port information. show interface cbr Displays the information about the CBR interface on the ATM-CES port adapter.
Command
Description
To loop packets back to the interface for testing, use the loopback interface configuration command with or without an optional keyword. To remove the loopback, use the no form of the command.
loopback [line | local | payload | remote]
Syntax Description
line (Optional) Places the interface into external loopback mode at the line. local (Optional) Places the interface into local loopback mode. payload (Optional) Places the interface into external loopback mode at the payload level. remote (Optional) Keeps the local end of the connection in remote loopback mode.
Defaults
line

Usage Guidelines
You can use a loopback test on lines to detect and distinguish equipment malfunctions caused either by line and channel service unit/digital service unit (CSU/DSU) or by the interface. If correct data transmission is not possible when an interface is in loopback mode, the interface is the source of the problem.
The local loopback does not generate any packets automatically. Instead, the ping command is used.
Examples
On a Cisco 2600 or 3600 series router, the following example sets up local loopback diagnostics:
interface atm 1/0
loopback local
To configure the ATM interface into loopback mode, use the loopback interface configuration command. To remove the loopback, use the no form of this command.
loopback [cell | line | payload]
Syntax Description
cell (Optional) Places the interface into external loopback at cell level. line (Optional) Places the interface into external loopback at the line. payload (Optional) Places the interface into external loopback at the payload level.
Defaults

Usage Guidelines
This command is useful for testing because it loops all packets from the ATM interface back to the interface as well as directing the packets to the network.
Use the loopback line command to check that the PA-A3 port adapter is working by looping the receive data back to the transmit data.
The following example loops all packets back to the ATM interface:
interface atm 4/0 loopback

Description
To set the range of message identifier (MID) values on a permanent virtual circuit (PVC), use the mid interface-ATM-VC configuration command. To remove MID value range settings, use the no form of this command.
mid midlow midhigh
Syntax Description
midlow Starting MID number for this PVC. This can be set between 0 and 1023. midhigh Ending MID number for this PVC. This can be set between 0 and 1023.
Defaults
0

Usage Guidelines
This command is only available when SMDS encapsulation is configured on a PVC.
Use this command to assign different ranges of message identifiers to different PVCs.
Examples
In the following example, the atm mid-per-vc command limits the maximum number of message identifiers to 32 for each VC on the ATM interface. Using the mid command, the selected range of numbers that are available for the message identifiers on PVC 1/40 is 0 to 31. For PVC 2/50, the range is 32 to 63.
interface atm 2/0 atm mid-per-vc 32 pvc 1/40 smds mid 0 31 pvc 2/50 smds mid 32 63
To establish the sources and priorities of the requisite clocking signals for an ATM-CES port adapter, use the network-clock-select global configuration command. To remove the clock source, use the no form of this command.
network-clock-select priority {cbr | atm} slot/port
Syntax Description
priority Priority of the clock source. Values are 1 (high priority) to 4 (low priority). cbr Specifies a CBR interface to supply the clock source. atm Specifies an ATM interface to supply the clock source. slot Backplane slot number. port Interface port number.
Defaults
None

Usage Guidelines
To support synchronous or synchronous residual time stamp (SRTS) clocking modes on the CBR interface, you must specify a primary reference source to synchronize the flow of CBR data from its source to its destination.
You can specify up to four clock priorities. The highest priority active interface in the router supplies primary reference source to all other interfaces that require network clock synchronization services. The fifth priority is the local oscillator on the ATM-CES port adapter.
Use the show network-clocks command to display currently configured clock priorities on the router.
Examples
The following example defines two clock priorities on the router:
network-clock-select 1 cbr 2/0 network-clock-select 2 atm 2/0
Related Commands
