NTT PRI NFAS

NTT PRI NFAS

This feature module describes the NTT PRI NFAS feature. It includes information on the benefits of the new feature, supported platforms, related documents, and so forth.

This document includes the following sections:

Feature Overview

This feature adds the NTT switch type to the existing NFAS with D Channel Backup feature.

ISDN Non-Facility Associated Signalling (NFAS) allows multiple ISDN PRIs to be controlled by a single D channel with an associated D channel for backup.

Once the channelized T1 controllers are configured for ISDN PRI, only the NFAS primary D channel must be configured; its configuration is distributed to all the members of the associated NFAS group.

Benefits

NTT PRI NFAS provides the following benefits:

Restrictions

NTT PRI NFAS does not support D channel backup.

Supported Platforms

Supported Standards, MIBs, and RFCs

Standards

No new or modified standards are supported by this feature.

MIBs

No new or modified MIBs are supported by this feature.

RFCs

No new or modified RFCs are supported by this feature.

Prerequisites

The router must be operational, provisioned for ISDN PRI, and contain appropriate ISDN PRI interface hardware, which must be operational and configured for ISDN PRI.

Configuration Tasks

See the following sections for NTT PRI NFAS configuration tasks:

Configuring NTT PRI NFAS

To configure NTT PRI NFAS, use the procedure described in the "Configuring NFAS on PRI Groups" section of the "Configuring ISDN Special Signalling" chapter of the Dial Services Configuration Guide: Network Services. Specify a primary-ntt switch type.


Note You cannot configure a backup D channel for the NTT PRI NFAS feature; it does not support D channel backup.

Verifying NTT PRI NFAS


Step 1 Enter the show isdn status command to learn whether the ISDN PRI switch type was configured correctly:

router# show isdn status serial 0:23 
 
Global ISDN Switchtype = primary-ntt
ISDN Serial0:15 interface
 

Step 2 Enter the show isdn nfas group command to display information about members of an NFAS group:

Router# show isdn nfas group 1
 
ISDN NFAS GROUP 1 ENTRIES:
 
The primary D is Serial1/0:23.
The NFAS member is Serial2/0:23.
 
There are 3 total nfas members.
There are 93 total available B channels.
The primary D-channel is DSL 0 in state INITIALIZED.
The current active layer 2 DSL is 0.
 

Step 3 Enter the show isdn service command to display information about ISDN channels and the service states:

Router# show isdn service

Configuration Examples

This section provides the following configuration example:

NTT PRI NFAS Primary D Channel Example

The following example configures ISDN PRI and NFAS on three T1 controllers of a Cisco 7500 series router. The NFAS primary D channel is configured on the 1/0 controller. No NFAS D channel is configured on the 1/1 and 2/0 controllers; they are configured for 24 B channels. Once the NFAS primary D channel is configured, it is the only interface you see and need to configure. DDR configuration for the primary D channel---which is distributed to all B channels-is also included in this example.
